2022-01-26create_autostash(): remove unneeded parameterLibravatar Phillip Wood1-2/+1
The default_reflog parameter of create_autostash() is passed to reset_head(). However as creating a stash does not involve updating any refs the parameter is not used by reset_head(). Removing the parameter from create_autostash() simplifies the callers. Signed-off-by: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2021-09-27*.h: move some *_INIT to designated initializersLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+3
Move various *_INIT macros to use designated initializers. This helps readability. I've only picked those leftover macros that were not touched by another in-flight series of mine which changed others, but also how initialization was done. In the case of SUBMODULE_ALTERNATE_SETUP_INIT I've left an explicit initialization of "error_mode", even though SUBMODULE_ALTERNATE_ERROR_IGNORE itself is defined as "0". Let's not peek under the hood and assume that enum fields we know the value of will stay at "0". The change to "TESTSUITE_INIT" in "t/helper/test-run-command.c" was part of an earlier on-list version[1] of c90be786da9 (test-tool run-command: fix flip-flop init pattern, 2021-09-11). 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-1.1-0aa4523ab6e-20210909T130849Z-avarab@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-09-24rebase: fix todo-list rereadingLibravatar Phillip Wood1-1/+0
54fd3243da ("rebase -i: reread the todo list if `exec` touched it", 2017-04-26) sought to reread the todo list after running an exec command only if it had been changed. To accomplish this it checks the stat data of the todo list after running an exec command to see if it has changed. Unfortunately there are two problems, firstly the implementation is buggy we actually reread the list after each exec which is quadratic in the number of commit lookups and secondly the design is predicated on using nanosecond time stamps which are not the default. The implementation bug stems from the fact that we write a new todo list to disk before running each command but do not update the stat data to reflect this[1]. The design problem is that it is possible for the user to edit the todo list without changing its size or inode which means we have to rely on the mtime to tell us if it has changed. Unfortunately unless git is built with USE_NSEC it is possible for the original and edited list to share the same mtime. Ideally "git rebase --edit-todo" would set a flag that we would then check in sequencer.c. Unfortunately this is approach will not work as there are scripts in the wild that write to the todo list directly without running "git rebase --edit-todo". Instead of relying on stat data this patch simply reads the possibly edited todo list and compares it to the original with memcmp(). This is much faster than reparsing the todo list each time. This patch reduces the time to run git rebase -r -xtrue v2.32.0~100 v2.32.0 which runs 419 exec commands by 6.6%. For comparison fixing the implementation bug in stat based approach reduces the time by a further 1.4% and is indistinguishable from never rereading the todo list.

2021-03-31sequencer: fix edit handling for cherry-pick and revert messagesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-2/+4
save_opts() should save any non-default values. It was intended to do this, but since most options in struct replay_opts default to 0, it only saved non-zero values. Unfortunately, this does not always work for options.edit. Roughly speaking, options.edit had a default value of 0 for cherry-pick but a default value of 1 for revert. Make save_opts() record a value whenever it differs from the default. options.edit was also overly simplistic; we had more than two cases. The behavior that previously existed was as follows: Non-conflict commits Right after Conflict revert Edit iff isatty(0) Edit (ignore isatty(0)) cherry-pick No edit See above Specify --edit Edit (ignore isatty(0)) See above Specify --no-edit (*) See above (*) Before stopping for conflicts, No edit is the behavior. After stopping for conflicts, the --no-edit flag is not saved so see the first two rows. However, the expected behavior is: Non-conflict commits Right after Conflict revert Edit iff isatty(0) Edit iff isatty(0) cherry-pick No edit Edit iff isatty(0) Specify --edit Edit (ignore isatty(0)) Edit (ignore isatty(0)) Specify --no-edit No edit No edit In order to get the expected behavior, we need to change options.edit to a tri-state: unspecified, false, or true. When specified, we follow what it says. When unspecified, we need to check whether the current commit being created is resolving a conflict as well as consulting options.action and isatty(0). While at it, add a should_edit() utility function that compresses options.edit down to a boolean based on the additional information for the non-conflict case. continue_single_pick() is the function responsible for resuming after conflict cases, regardless of whether there is one commit being picked or many. Make this function stop assuming edit behavior in all cases, so that it can correctly handle !isatty(0) and specific requests to not edit the commit message.

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.

2020-04-11rebase --merge: optionally skip upstreamed commitsLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-1/+1
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().

2020-04-11rebase: reinstate --no-keep-emptyLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
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.

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.

2020-02-16rebase (interactive-backend): fix handling of commits that become emptyLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+1
As established in the previous commit and commit b00bf1c9a8dd (git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default, 2018-06-27), the behavior for rebase with different backends in various edge or corner cases is often more happenstance than design. This commit addresses another such corner case: commits which "become empty". A careful reader may note that there are two types of commits which would become empty due to a rebase: * [clean cherry-pick] Commits which are clean cherry-picks of upstream commits, as determined by `git log --cherry-mark ...`. Re-applying these commits would result in an empty set of changes and a duplicative commit message; i.e. these are commits that have "already been applied" upstream. * [become empty] Commits which are not empty to start, are not clean cherry-picks of upstream commits, but which still become empty after being rebased. This happens e.g. when a commit has changes which are a strict subset of the changes in an upstream commit, or when the changes of a commit can be found spread across or among several upstream commits. Clearly, in both cases the changes in the commit in question are found upstream already, but the commit message may not be in the latter case. When cherry-mark can determine a commit is already upstream, then because of how cherry-mark works this means the upstream commit message was about the *exact* same set of changes. Thus, the commit messages can be assumed to be fully interchangeable (and are in fact likely to be completely identical). As such, the clean cherry-pick case represents a case when there is no information to be gained by keeping the extra commit around. All rebase types have always dropped these commits, and no one to my knowledge has ever requested that we do otherwise. For many of the become empty cases (and likely even most), we will also be able to drop the commit without loss of information -- but this isn't quite always the case. Since these commits represent cases that were not clean cherry-picks, there is no upstream commit message explaining the same set of changes. Projects with good commit message hygiene will likely have the explanation from our commit message contained within or spread among the relevant upstream commits, but not all projects run that way. As such, the commit message of the commit being rebased may have reasoning that suggests additional changes that should be made to adapt to the new base, or it may have information that someone wants to add as a note to another commit, or perhaps someone even wants to create an empty commit with the commit message as-is. Junio commented on the "become-empty" types of commits as follows[1]: WRT a change that ends up being empty (as opposed to a change that is empty from the beginning), I'd think that the current behaviour is desireable one. "am" based rebase is solely to transplant an existing history and want to stop much less than "interactive" one whose purpose is to polish a series before making it publishable, and asking for confirmation ("this has become empty--do you want to drop it?") is more appropriate from the workflow point of view. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqfu1fswdh.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ I would simply add that his arguments for "am"-based rebases actually apply to all non-explicitly-interactive rebases. Also, since we are stating that different cases should have different defaults, it may be worth providing a flag to allow users to select which behavior they want for these commits. Introduce a new command line flag for selecting the desired behavior: --empty={drop,keep,ask} with the definitions: drop: drop commits which become empty keep: keep commits which become empty ask: provide the user a chance to interact and pick what to do with commits which become empty on a case-by-case basis In line with Junio's suggestion, if the --empty flag is not specified, pick defaults as follows: explicitly interactive: ask otherwise: drop Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-02-16rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the defaultLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
Different rebase backends have different treatment for commits which start empty (i.e. have no changes relative to their parent), and the --keep-empty option was added at some point to allow adjusting behavior. The handling of commits which start empty is actually quite similar to commit b00bf1c9a8dd (git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default, 2018-06-27), which pointed out that the behavior for various backends is often more happenstance than design. The specific change made in that commit is actually quite relevant as well and much of the logic there directly applies here. It makes a lot of sense in 'git commit' to error out on the creation of empty commits, unless an override flag is provided. However, once someone determines that there is a rare case that merits using the manual override to create such a commit, it is somewhere between annoying and harmful to have to take extra steps to keep such intentional commits around. Granted, empty commits are quite rare, which is why handling of them doesn't get considered much and folks tend to defer to existing (accidental) behavior and assume there was a reason for it, leading them to just add flags (--keep-empty in this case) that allow them to override the bad defaults. Fix the interactive backend so that --keep-empty is the default, much like we did with --allow-empty-message. The am backend should also be fixed to have --keep-empty semantics for commits that start empty, but that is not included in this patch other than a testcase documenting the failure. Note that there was one test in t3421 which appears to have been written expecting --keep-empty to not be the default as correct behavior. This test was introduced in commit 00b8be5a4d38 ("add tests for rebasing of empty commits", 2013-06-06), which was part of a series focusing on rebase topology and which had an interesting original cover letter at https://lore.kernel.org/git/1347949878-12578-1-git-send-email-martinvonz@gmail.com/ which noted Your input especially appreciated on whether you agree with the intent of the test cases. and then went into a long example about how one of the many tests added had several questions about whether it was correct. As such, I believe most the tests in that series were about testing rebase topology with as many different flags as possible and were not trying to state in general how those flags should behave otherwise.

2020-01-28rebase-interactive: warn if commit is dropped with `rebase --edit-todo'Libravatar Alban Gruin1-0/+1
When set to "warn" or "error", `rebase.missingCommitsCheck' would make `rebase -i' warn if the user removed commits from the todo list to prevent mistakes. Unfortunately, `rebase --edit-todo' and `rebase --continue' don't take it into account. This adds the ability for `rebase --edit-todo' and `rebase --continue' to check if commits were dropped by the user. As both edit_todo_list() and complete_action() parse the todo list and check for dropped commits, the code doing so in the latter is removed to reduce duplication. `edit_todo_list_advice' is removed from sequencer.c as it is no longer used there. This changes when a backup of the todo list is made. Until now, it was saved only once, before the initial edit. Now, it is also made if the original todo list has no errors or no dropped commits. Thus, the backup should be error-free. Without this, sequencer_continue() (`rebase --continue') could only compare the current todo list against the original, unedited list. Before this change, this file was only used by edit_todo_list() and `rebase -p' to create the backup before the initial edit, and check_todo_list_from_file(), only used by `rebase -p' to check for dropped commits after its own initial edit. If the edited list has an error, a file, `dropped', is created to report the issue. Otherwise, it is deleted. Usually, the edited list is compared against the list before editing, but if this file exists, it will be compared to the backup. Also, if the file exists, sequencer_continue() checks the list for dropped commits. If the check was performed every time, it would fail when resuming a rebase after resolving a conflict, as the backup will contain commits that were picked, but they will not be in the new list. It's safe to ignore this check if `dropped' does not exist, because that means that no errors were found at the last edition, so any missing commits here have already been picked. Five tests are added to t3404. The tests for `rebase.missingCommitsCheck = warn' and `rebase.missingCommitsCheck = error' have a similar structure. First, we start a rebase with an incorrect command on the first line. Then, we edit the todo list, removing the first and the last lines. This demonstrates that `--edit-todo' notices dropped commits, but not when the command is incorrect. Then, we restore the original todo list, and edit it to remove the last line. This demonstrates that if we add a commit after the initial edit, then remove it, `--edit-todo' will notice that it has been dropped. Then, the actual rebase takes place. In the third test, it is also checked that `--continue' will refuse to resume the rebase if commits were dropped. The fourth test checks that no errors are raised when resuming a rebase after resolving a conflict, the fifth checks that no errors are raised when editing the todo list after pausing the rebase.

2020-01-28sequencer: move check_todo_list_from_file() to rebase-interactive.cLibravatar Alban Gruin1-1/+0
The message contained in `edit_todo_list_advice' (sequencer.c) is printed after the initial edit of the todo list if it can't be parsed or if commits were dropped. This is done either in complete_action() for `rebase -i', or in check_todo_list_from_file() for `rebase -p'. Since we want to add this check when editing the list, we also want to use this message from edit_todo_list() (rebase-interactive.c). To this end, check_todo_list_from_file() is moved to rebase-interactive.c, and `edit_todo_list_advice' is copied there. In the next commit, complete_action() will stop using it, and `edit_todo_list_advice' will be removed from sequencer.c.

2020-01-24rebase -i: stop checking out the tip of the branch to rebaseLibravatar Alban Gruin1-3/+0
One of the first things done when using a sequencer-based rebase (ie. `rebase -i', `rebase -r', or `rebase -m') is to make a todo list. This requires knowledge of the commit range to rebase. To get the oid of the last commit of the range, the tip of the branch to rebase is checked out with prepare_branch_to_be_rebased(), then the oid of the head is read. After this, the tip of the branch is not even modified. The `am' backend, on the other hand, does not check out the branch. On big repositories, it's a performance penalty: with `rebase -i', the user may have to wait before editing the todo list while git is extracting the branch silently, and "quiet" rebases will be slower than `am'. Since we already have the oid of the tip of the branch in `opts->orig_head', it's useless to switch to this commit. This removes the call to prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() in do_interactive_rebase(), and adds a `orig_head' parameter to get_revision_ranges(). prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() is removed as it is no longer used. This introduces a visible change: as we do not switch on the tip of the branch to rebase, no reflog entry is created at the beginning of the rebase for it. Unscientific performance measurements, performed on linux.git, are as follow: Before this patch: $ time git rebase -m --onto v4.18 463fa44eec2fef50~ 463fa44eec2fef50 real 0m8,940s user 0m6,830s sys 0m2,121s After this patch: $ time git rebase -m --onto v4.18 463fa44eec2fef50~ 463fa44eec2fef50 real 0m1,834s user 0m0,916s sys 0m0,206s Reported-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Alban Gruin <alban.gruin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-07-02cherry-pick/revert: add --skip optionLibravatar Rohit Ashiwal1-0/+1
git am or rebase have a --skip flag to skip the current commit if the user wishes to do so. During a cherry-pick or revert a user could likewise skip a commit, but needs to use 'git reset' (or in the case of conflicts 'git reset --merge'), followed by 'git (cherry-pick | revert) --continue' to skip the commit. This is more annoying and sometimes confusing on the users' part. Add a `--skip` option to make skipping commits easier for the user and to make the commands more consistent. In the next commit, we will change the advice messages hence finishing the process of teaching revert and cherry-pick "how to skip commits".
