Recently the format of an internal state file "rebase -i" uses has
been tightened up for consistency, which would hurt those who start
"rebase -i" with old git and then continue with new git. Loosen
the reader side a bit (which we may want to tighten again in a year

Allow the testsuite to run where it treats requests for "recursive" or
the default merge algorithm via consulting the environment variable
GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM which is expected to either be "recursive" (the
old traditional algorithm) or "ort" (the new algorithm).
Also, allow folks to pick the new algorithm via config setting. It
turns out builtin/merge.c already had a way to allow users to specify a
different default merge algorithm: pull.twohead. Rather odd
configuration name (especially to be in the 'pull' namespace rather than
'merge') but it's there. Add that same configuration to rebase,
cherry-pick, and revert.
This required updating the various callsites that called merge_trees()
or merge_recursive() to conditionally call the new API, so this serves
as another demonstration of what the new API looks and feels like.
There are almost certainly some callsites that have not yet been
modified to work with the new merge algorithm, but this represents the
ones that I have been testing with thus far.

"git rebase --rebase-merges" did not correctly pass --gpg-sign
command line option to underlying "git merge" when replaying a merge

done in a separate codepath, the problem did not trigger for most
users), which has been corrected.

For the --committer-date-is-author-date option of git-am and git-rebase,
we format the committer ident, then re-parse it to find the name and
email, and then feed those back to fmt_ident().
We can simplify this by handling it all at the time of the fmt_ident()
call. We pass in the appropriate getenv() results, and if they're not
present, then our WANT_COMMITTER_IDENT flag tells fmt_ident() to fill in
the appropriate value from the config. Which is exactly what
git_committer_ident() was doing under the hood.

In 0512eabd91 ("sequencer: stop abbreviating stopped-sha file",
2020-09-25), Git was taught both to write full object names to the
stopped-sha file and to require full object names when reading. However,
a user would experience a problem if they started an interactive rebase
using an old version of Git and then continued with a current version of
Git (for example, if the system version of Git was updated in the
meantime).

The merge subcommand launched for merges with non-default strategy would
use its own default behaviour to decide how to sign commits, regardless
of what opts->gpg_sign was set to. For example the --no-gpg-sign flag
given to rebase explicitly would get ignored, if commit.gpgsign was set
to true.

When performing a rebase with --rebase-merges using either a custom
strategy specified with -s or an octopus merge, and at the same time
having gpgsign enabled (either rebase -S or config commit.gpgsign), the
operation would fail on making the merge commit. Instead of "-S%s" with
the key id substituted, only the bare key id would get passed to the
underlying merge command, which tried to interpret it as a ref.
Fix the issue and add test cases as suggested by Johannes Schindelin and

Code simplification.
* jc/sequencer-stopped-sha-simplify:
sequencer: stop abbreviating stopped-sha file
|
|
The append_signoff() function takes an "ignore_footer"
argument, which specifies a number of bytes at the end of
the message buffer which should not be considered (they
cannot contain trailers, and the trailer is spliced in
before them).
But to find the existing trailers, it calls into
has_conforming_trailer(). That function takes an
ignore_footer parameter, but since 967dfd4d56 (sequencer:
use trailer's trailer layout, 2016-11-02) the parameter is
completely ignored.
The trailer interface we're using takes a single string,
with no option to tell it to use part of the string.
However, since we have a mutable strbuf, we can work around
this by simply overwriting (and later restoring) the
boundary with a NUL.
I'm not sure if this can actually trigger a bug in practice.
It's easy to get a non-zero ignore_footer by doing something
like this:
git commit -F - --cleanup=verbatim <<-EOF
subject
body
Signed-off-by: me
# this looks like a comment, but is actually in the
# message! That makes the earlier s-o-b fake.
EOF
git commit --amend -s
There git-commit calls ignore_non_trailer() to count up the
"#" cruft, which becomes the ignore_footer header. But it
works even without this patch! That's because the trailer
code _also_ calls ignore_non_trailer() and skips the cruft,
too. So it happens to work because the only callers with a
non-zero ignore_footer are using the exact same function
that the trailer parser uses internally.
And that seems true for all of the current callers, but
there's nothing guaranteeing it. We're better off only
feeding the correct buffer to the trailer code in the first
place.

When we switched to using an external git-commit call in b0a3186140
(sequencer: simplify root commit creation, 2019-08-19), this function
didn't need to care about the repository object any more.
Arguably we could be passing along the repository path to the external
git-commit by using "--git-dir=r->path" here. But for the most part the
sequencer code relies on sub-process finding the same repository we're
already in (using the same environment variables or discovery process we
did). But we don't have a convenient interface for doing so, and there's
no indication that we need to. Let's just drop the unused parameter for
now.

Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and
'merge' each of which support a different set of options. In
particular the apply backend supports a number of options implemented
by 'git am' that are not implemented in the merge backend. This means
that the available options are different depending on which backend is
used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the --ignore-date
option to the merge backend. This option uses the current time as the
author date rather than reusing the original author date when
rewriting commits. We take care to handle the combination of
--ignore-date and --committer-date-is-author-date in the same way as
the apply backend.

The implementation of --committer-date-is-author-date exports
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE to override the default committer date but does not
reset GIT_COMMITTER_DATE in the environment after creating the commit
so it is set in the environment of any hooks that get run. We're about
to add the same functionality to the sequencer and do not want to have
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE set when running hooks or exec commands so lets
update commit_tree_extended() to take an explicit committer so we
override the default date without setting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE in the
environment.

sequencer's get_message() exists to provide good labels on conflict
hunks; see commits
d68565402a ("revert: clarify label on conflict hunks", 2010-03-20)
bf975d379d ("cherry-pick, revert: add a label for ancestor", 2010-03-20)
043a4492b3 ("sequencer: factor code out of revert builtin", 2012-01-11).
for background on this function. These labels are of the form
<commitID>... <commit summary>
or
parent of <commitID>... <commit summary>
These labels are then passed as branch names to the merge machinery.
However, these labels, as formatted, often also serve to confuse. For
example, if we have a rename involved in a content merge, then it
results in text such as the following:
<<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c
int j;
========
int counter;
>>>>>>>> b01dface... Removed unnecessary stuff:bar.c
Or in various conflict messages, it can make it very difficult to read:
CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface... Removed
unnecessary stuff and renamed in HEAD. Version HEAD of foo.c left
in tree.
CONFLICT (file location): dir1/foo.c added in b01dface... Removed
unnecessary stuff inside a directory that was renamed in HEAD,
suggesting it should perhaps be moved to dir2/foo.c.
Make a minor change to remove the ellipses and add parentheses around
the commit summary; this makes all three examples much easier to read:
<<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c
int j;
========
int counter;
>>>>>>>> b01dface (Removed unnecessary stuff):bar.c
CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface (Removed
unnecessary stuff) and renamed in HEAD. Version HEAD of foo.c left
in tree.
CONFLICT (file location): dir1/foo.c added in b01dface (Removed
unnecessary stuff) inside a directory that was renamed in HEAD,
suggesting it should perhaps be moved to dir2/foo.c.

'todo_list_write_to_file' may overwrite the static buffer, originating
from 'find_unique_abbrev', that was used to store the short commit hash
'c' for "# Rebase a..b onto c" message in the todo editor. This is
because the buffer that is returned from 'find_unique_abbrev' is valid
until 4 more calls to `find_unique_abbrev` are made.
As 'todo_list_write_to_file' calls 'find_unique_abbrev' for each rebased
commit, the hash for 'c' is overwritten if there are 4 or more commits
in the rebase. This behavior has been broken since its introduction.
Fix by storing the short onto commit hash in a different buffer that
remains valid, before calling 'todo_list_write_to_file'.

The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array,
but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use
for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well
when combined with typical variable names like "args.v").
Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing
tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to
rewrite unrelated tokens.

Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like:
argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument",
"another argument", "and more",
NULL);
was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in
mis-matched indentation like:
strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument",
"another argument", "and more",
NULL);
Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did
this manually by sifting through the results of:
git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$'
and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are
of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had
originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of
aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious
cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit
on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or
more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it
wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).
This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is
reasonably sized.
The conversion was done purely mechanically with:
git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
xargs perl -i -pe '
s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
s/argv_array/strvec/g;
'
We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

"rebase -i" segfaulted when rearranging a sequence that has a
fix-up that applies another fix-up (which may or may not be a
fix-up of yet another step).
* js/rebase-autosquash-double-fixup-fix:
rebase --autosquash: fix a potential segfault
|
|
When rearranging the todo list so that the fixups/squashes are reordered
just after the commits they intend to fix up, we use two arrays to
maintain that list: `next` and `tail`.
The idea is that `next[i]`, if set to a non-negative value, contains the
index of the item that should be rearranged just after the `i`th item.
To avoid having to walk the entire `next` chain when appending another
fixup/squash, we also store the end of the `next` chain in `tail[i]`.
The logic we currently use to update these array items is based on the
assumption that given a fixup/squash item at index `i`, we just found
the index `i2` indicating the first item in that fixup chain.
However, as reported by Paul Ganssle, that need not be true: the special
form `fixup! <commit-hash>` is allowed to point to _another_ fixup
commit in the middle of the fixup chain.
Example:
* 0192a To fixup
* 02f12 fixup! To fixup
* 03763 fixup! To fixup
* 04ecb fixup! 02f12
Note how the fourth commit targets the second commit, which is already a
fixup that targets the first commit.
Previously, we would update `next` and `tail` under our assumption that
every `fixup!` commit would find the start of the `fixup!`/`squash!`
chain. This would lead to a segmentation fault because we would actually
end up with a `next[i]` pointing to a `fixup!` but the corresponding
`tail[i]` pointing nowhere, which would the lead to a segmentation
fault.
Let's fix this by _inserting_, rather than _appending_, the item. In
other words, if we make a given line successor of another line, we do
not simply forget any previously set successor of the latter, but make
it a successor of the former.
In the above example, at the point when we insert 04ecb just after
02f12, 03763 would already be recorded as a successor of 04ecb, and we
now "squeeze in" 04ecb.
To complete the idea, we now no longer assume that `next[i]` pointing to
a line means that `last[i]` points to a line, too. Instead, we extend
the concept of `last` to cover also partial `fixup!`/`squash!` chains,
i.e. chains starting in the middle of a larger such chain.
In the above example, after processing all lines, `last[0]`
(corresponding to 0192a) would point to 03763, which indeed is the end
of the overall `fixup!` chain, and `last[1]` (corresponding to 02f12)
would point to 04ecb (which is the last `fixup!` targeting 02f12, but it
has 03763 as successor, i.e. it is not the end of overall `fixup!`
chain).

When rebasing against an upstream that has had many commits since the
original branch was created:
O -- O -- ... -- O -- O (upstream)
\
-- O (my-dev-branch)
it must read the contents of every novel upstream commit, in addition to
the tip of the upstream and the merge base, because "git rebase"
attempts to exclude commits that are duplicates of upstream ones. This
can be a significant performance hit, especially in a partial clone,
wherein a read of an object may end up being a fetch.
Add a flag to "git rebase" to allow suppression of this feature. This
flag only works when using the "merge" backend.
This flag changes the behavior of sequencer_make_script(), called from
do_interactive_rebase() <- run_rebase_interactive() <-
run_specific_rebase() <- cmd_rebase(). With this flag, limit_list()
(indirectly called from sequencer_make_script() through
prepare_revision_walk()) will no longer call cherry_pick_list(), and
thus PATCHSAME is no longer set. Refraining from setting PATCHSAME both
means that the intermediate commits in upstream are no longer read (as
shown by the test) and means that no PATCHSAME-caused skipping of
commits is done by sequencer_make_script(), either directly or through
make_script_with_merges().

Commit d48e5e21da ("rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the
default", 2020-02-15) turned --keep-empty (for keeping commits which
start empty) into the default. The logic underpinning that commit was:
1) 'git commit' errors out on the creation of empty commits without an
override flag
2) Once someone determines that the override is worthwhile, it's
annoying and/or harmful to required them to take extra steps in
order to keep such commits around (and to repeat such steps with
every rebase).
While the logic on which the decision was made is sound, the result was
a bit of an overcorrection. Instead of jumping to having --keep-empty
being the default, it jumped to making --keep-empty the only available
behavior. There was a simple workaround, though, which was thought to
be good enough at the time. People could still drop commits which
started empty the same way the could drop any commits: by firing up an
interactive rebase and picking out the commits they didn't want from the
list. However, there are cases where external tools might create enough
empty commits that picking all of them out is painful. As such, having
a flag to automatically remove start-empty commits may be beneficial.
Provide users a way to drop commits which start empty using a flag that
existed for years: --no-keep-empty. Interpret --keep-empty as
countermanding any previous --no-keep-empty, but otherwise leaving
--keep-empty as the default.
This might lead to some slight weirdness since commands like
git rebase --empty=drop --keep-empty
git rebase --empty=keep --no-keep-empty
look really weird despite making perfect sense (the first will drop
commits which become empty, but keep commits that started empty; the
second will keep commits which become empty, but drop commits which
started empty). However, --no-keep-empty was named years ago and we are
predominantly keeping it for backward compatibility; also we suspect it
will only be used rarely since folks already have a simple way to drop
commits they don't want with an interactive rebase.

While many users who intentionally create empty commits do not want them
thrown away by a rebase, there are third-party tools that generate empty
commits that a user might not want. In the past, users have used rebase
to get rid of such commits (a side-effect of the fact that the --apply
backend is not currently capable of keeping them). While such users
could fire up an interactive rebase and just remove the lines
corresponding to empty commits, that might be difficult if the
third-party tool generates many of them. Simplify this task for users
by marking such lines with a suffix of " # empty" in the todo list.

Split apply_save_autostash() into apply_autostash_oid() and
apply_save_autostash() where the former operates on an OID string and
the latter reads the OID from a file before passing it into
apply_save_autostash_oid().
This function is required for a future commmit which will rely on being
able to apply an autostash whose OID is stored as a string.

Extract common functionality of apply_autostash() into
apply_save_autostash() and use it to implement save_autostash(). This
function will be used in a future commit.
The difference between save_autostash() and apply_autostash() is that
the former does not try to apply the stash. It skips that step and
just stores the created entry in the stash reflog.
This is useful in the case where we abort an operation when an autostash
is present but we don't want to dirty the worktree with the application
of the stash. For example, in a future commit, we will implement
`git merge --autostash`. Since merges can be aborted using
`git reset --hard`, we'd make use of save_autostash() to save the
autostash entry instead of applying it to the worktree thus keeping the
worktree undirtied.

Explicitly remove autostash file in apply_autostash() once it has been
applied successfully.
This is currently a no-op because the only users of this function will unlink
the state (including the autostash file) after this function runs.
However, in the future, we will introduce a user of the function that
does not explicitly remove the state so we do it here.
