2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): respect strategy/strategy_opts settingsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+25
The sequencer already has an idea about using different merge strategies. We just piggy-back on top of that, using rebase -i's own settings, when running the sequencer in interactive rebase mode.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): respect the rebase.autostash settingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+43
Git's `rebase` command inspects the `rebase.autostash` config setting to determine whether it should stash any uncommitted changes before rebasing and re-apply them afterwards. As we introduce more bits and pieces to let the sequencer act as interactive rebase's backend, here is the part that adds support for the autostash feature.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): copy commit notes at endLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+76

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): set the reflog message consistentlyLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+4

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): allow fast-forwarding for edit/rewordLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-8/+17
The sequencer already knew how to fast-forward instead of cherry-picking, if possible. We want to continue to do this, of course, but in case of the 'reword' command, we will need to call `git commit` after fast-forwarding.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): leave a patch upon errorLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+3
When doing an interactive rebase, we want to leave a 'patch' file for further inspection by the user (even if we never tried to actually apply that patch, since we're cherry-picking instead).

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): update refs after a successful rebaseLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+45
An interactive rebase operates on a detached HEAD (to keep the reflog of the original branch relatively clean), and updates the branch only at the end. Now that the sequencer learns to perform interactive rebases, it also needs to learn the trick to update the branch before removing the directory containing the state of the interactive rebase. We introduce a new head_ref variable in a wider scope than necessary at the moment, to allow for a later patch that prints out "Successfully rebased and updated <ref>".

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): the todo can be empty when continuingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+5
When the last command of an interactive rebase fails, the user needs to resolve the problem and then continue the interactive rebase. Naturally, the todo script is empty by then. So let's not complain about that! To that end, let's move that test out of the function that parses the todo script, and into the more high-level function read_populate_todo(). This is also necessary by now because the lower-level parse_insn_buffer() has no idea whether we are performing an interactive rebase or not.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): skip some revert/cherry-pick specific code pathLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-12/+14
When a cherry-pick continues without a "todo script", the intention is simply to pick a single commit. However, when an interactive rebase is continued without a "todo script", it means that the last command has been completed and that we now need to clean up. This commit guards the revert/cherry-pick specific steps so that they are not executed in rebase -i mode.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): allow continuing with staged changesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+40
When an interactive rebase is interrupted, the user may stage changes before continuing, and we need to commit those changes in that case. Please note that the nested "if" added to the sequencer_continue() is not combined into a single "if" because it will be extended with an "else" clause in a later patch in this patch series.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): write an author-script fileLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+49
When the interactive rebase aborts, it writes out an author-script file to record the author information for the current commit. As we are about to teach the sequencer how to perform the actions behind an interactive rebase, it needs to write those author-script files, too.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): implement the short commandsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-14/+21
For users' convenience, most rebase commands can be abbreviated, e.g. 'p' instead of 'pick' and 'x' instead of 'exec'. Let's teach the sequencer to handle those abbreviated commands just fine.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): add support for the 'fixup' and 'squash' commandsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-10/+217
This is a huge patch, and at the same time a huge step forward to execute the performance-critical parts of the interactive rebase in a builtin command. Since 'fixup' and 'squash' are not only similar, but also need to know about each other (we want to reduce a series of fixups/squashes into a single, final commit message edit, from the user's point of view), we really have to implement them both at the same time. Most of the actual work is done by the existing code path that already handles the "pick" and the "edit" commands; We added support for other features (e.g. to amend the commit message) in the patches leading up to this one, yet there are still quite a few bits in this patch that simply would not make sense as individual patches (such as: determining whether there was anything to "fix up" in the "todo" script, etc). In theory, it would be possible to reuse the fast-forward code path also for the fixup and the squash code paths, but in practice this would make the code less readable. The end result cannot be fast-forwarded anyway, therefore let's just extend the cherry-picking code path for now. Since the sequencer parses the entire `git-rebase-todo` script in one go, fixup or squash commands without a preceding pick can be reported early (in git-rebase--interactive, we could only report such errors just before executing the fixup/squash).

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): write the 'done' fileLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+23
In the interactive rebase, commands that were successfully processed are not simply discarded, but appended to the 'done' file instead. This is used e.g. to display the current state to the user in the output of `git status` or the progress.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): learn about the 'verbose' modeLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+28
When calling `git rebase -i -v`, the user wants to see some statistics after the commits were rebased. Let's show some. The strbuf we use to perform that task will be used for other things in subsequent commits, hence it is declared and initialized in a wider scope than strictly needed here.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'exec' commandLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+57
The 'exec' command is a little special among rebase -i's commands, as it does *not* have a SHA-1 as first parameter. Instead, everything after the `exec` command is treated as command-line to execute. Let's reuse the arg/arg_len fields of the todo_item structure (which hold the oneline for pick/edit commands) to point to the command-line.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'edit' commandLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+114
This patch is a straight-forward reimplementation of the `edit` operation of the interactive rebase command. Well, not *quite* straight-forward: when stopping, the `edit` command wants to write the `patch` file (which is not only the patch, but includes the commit message and author information). To that end, this patch requires the earlier work that taught the log-tree machinery to respect the `file` setting of rev_info->diffopt to write to a file stream different than stdout.

2017-01-09sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'noop' commandLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+36
The 'noop' command is probably the most boring of all rebase -i commands to support in the sequencer. Which makes it an excellent candidate for this first stab to add support for rebase -i's commands to the sequencer. For the moment, let's also treat empty lines and commented-out lines as 'noop'; We will refine that handling later in this patch series. To make it easier to identify "classes" of todo_commands (such as: determine whether a command is pick-like, i.e. handles a single commit), let's enforce a certain order of said commands.

2017-01-09sequencer: support a new action: 'interactive rebase'Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+32
This patch introduces a new action for the sequencer. It really does not do a whole lot of its own right now, but lays the ground work for patches to come.

2017-01-09sequencer: use a helper to find the commit messageLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-8/+3
It is actually not safe to look for a commit message by looking for the first empty line and skipping it. The find_commit_subject() function looks more carefully, so let's use it. Since we are interested in the entire commit message, we re-compute the string length after verifying that the commit subject is not empty (in which case the entire commit message would be empty, something that should not happen but that we want to handle gracefully).

2016-12-09sequencer: make sequencer abort saferLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-0/+49
In contrast to "git am --abort", a sequencer abort did not check whether the current HEAD is the one that is expected. This can lead to loss of work (when not spotted and resolved using reflog before the garbage collector chimes in). This behavior is now changed by mimicking "git am --abort". The abortion is done but HEAD is not changed when the current HEAD is not the expected HEAD. A new file "sequencer/abort-safety" is added to save the expected HEAD. The new behavior is only active when --abort is invoked on multiple picks. The problem does not occur for the single-pick case because it is handled differently.

2016-12-07hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to die upon failure. This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update(). Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is intended with this patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> --- Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0: - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is just before the program exits and nobody should care. - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(), builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(), sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic updates and they are OK. - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK. - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.
2016-11-29sequencer: use trailer's trailer layoutLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-61/+14
Make sequencer use trailer.c's trailer layout definition, as opposed to parsing the footer by itself. This makes "commit -s", "cherry-pick -x", and "format-patch --signoff" consistent with trailer, allowing non-trailer lines and multiple-line trailers in trailer blocks under certain conditions, and therefore suppressing the extra newline in those cases. Consistency with trailer extends to respecting trailer configs. Tests have been included to show that.

When clang compiles sequencer.c, it complains: sequencer.c:632:14: warning: comparison of constant 2 with expression of type 'const enum todo_command' is always true [-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare] if (command < ARRAY_SIZE(todo_command_strings)) This is because "command" is an enum that may only have two values (0 and 1) and the array in question has two elements. As it turns out, clang is actually wrong here, at least according to its own bug tracker: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=16154 But it's still worth working around this, as the warning is present with -Wall, meaning we fail compilation with "make DEVELOPER=1". Casting the enum to size_t sufficiently unconfuses clang. As a bonus, it also catches any possible out-of-bounds access if the enum takes on a negative value (which shouldn't happen either, but again, this is a defensive check).

The sequencer was introduced to make the cherry-pick and revert functionality available as library function, with the original idea being to extend the sequencer to also implement the rebase -i functionality.

This commit prepares for future callers that will have a pointer/length to some text to be written that lacks an LF, yet an LF is desired.
