"git rebase --keep-base <upstream>" tries to find the original base
of the topic being rebased and rebase on top of that same base,
which is useful when running the "git rebase -i" (and its limited
variant "git rebase -x").
The command also has learned to fast-forward in more cases where it
can instead of replaying to recreate identical commits.

In many test scripts, there are bespoke definitions of the single quote
that are some variation of this:
SQ="'"
Define a common $SQ variable in test-lib.sh and replace all usages of
these bespoke variables with the common one.
This change was done by running `git grep =\"\'\" t/` and
`git grep =\\\\\'` and manually changing the resulting definitions and
corresponding usages.

Before, when we had the following graph,
A---B---C (master)
\
D (side)
running 'git rebase --onto master... master side' would result in D
being always rebased, no matter what. However, the desired behavior is
that rebase should notice that this is fast-forwardable and do that
instead.
Add detection to `can_fast_forward` so that this case can be detected
and a fast-forward will be performed. First of all, rewrite the function
to use gotos which simplifies the logic. Next, since the
options.upstream &&
!oidcmp(&options.upstream->object.oid, &options.onto->object.oid)
conditions were removed in `cmd_rebase`, we reintroduce a substitute in
`can_fast_forward`. In particular, checking the merge bases of
`upstream` and `head` fixes a failing case in t3416.
The abbreviated graph for t3416 is as follows:
F---G topic
/
A---B---C---D---E master
and the failing command was
git rebase --onto master...topic F topic
Before, Git would see that there was one merge base (C), and the merge
and onto were the same so it would incorrectly return 1, indicating that
we could fast-forward. This would cause the rebased graph to be 'ABCFG'
when we were expecting 'ABCG'.
With the additional logic, we detect that upstream and head's merge base
is F. Since onto isn't F, it means we're not rebasing the full set of
commits from master..topic. Since we're excluding some commits, a
fast-forward cannot be performed and so we correctly return 0.
Add '-f' to test cases that failed as a result of this change because
they were not expecting a fast-forward so that a rebase is forced.

The test 'rebase -i respects rebase.missingCommitsCheck = warn' is
mainly interested in the warning about the dropped commits, but it
checks the whole output of 'git rebase', including progress lines and
what not that are not at all relevant to 'rebase.missingCommitsCheck',
but make it necessary to update this test whenever e.g. the way we
show progress is updated (as it will happen in one of the later
patches of this series).
Modify the test to verify only the first four lines of 'git rebase's
output that contain all the important lines, notably the line
containing the "Warning:" itself and the oneline log of the dropped
commit.

Remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting, which was added as an escape
hatch to disable the builtin version of rebase first released with Git
2.20.
See [1] for the initial implementation of rebase.useBuiltin, and [2]
and [3] for the documentation and corresponding
GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN option.
Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden as seen in
7e097e27d3 ("legacy-rebase: backport -C<n> and --whitespace=<option>
checks", 2018-11-20) and 9aea5e9286 ("rebase: fix regression in
rebase.useBuiltin=false test mode", 2019-02-13). Since the built-in
version has been shown to be stable enough let's remove the legacy
version.
As noted in [3] having use_builtin_rebase() shell out to get its
config doesn't make any sense anymore, that was done for the purposes
of spawning the legacy rebase without having modified any global
state. Let's instead handle this case in rebase_config().
There's still a bunch of references to git-legacy-rebase in po/*.po,
but those will be dealt with in time by the i18n effort.
Even though this configuration variable only existed two releases
let's not entirely delete the entry from the docs, but note its
absence. Individual versions of git tend to be around for a while due
to distro packaging timelines, so e.g. if we're "lucky" a given
version like 2.21 might be installed on say OSX for half a decade.
That'll mean some people probably setting this in config, and then
when they later wonder if it's needed they can Google search the
config option name or check it in git-config. It also allows us to
refer to the docs from the warning for details.

Fix a recently introduced regression in c762aada1a ("rebase -x: sanity
check command", 2019-01-29) triggered when running the tests with
GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN=false. See 62c23938fa ("tests: add a
special setup where rebase.useBuiltin is off", 2018-11-14) for how
that test mode works.
As discussed on-list[1] it's not worth it to implement the sanity
check in the legacy rebase code, we plan to remove it after the 2.21
release. So let's do the bare minimum to make the tests pass under the
GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN=false special setup.

If the user gives an empty argument to --exec then git creates a todo
list that it cannot parse. The rebase starts to run before erroring out
with
error: missing arguments for exec
error: invalid line 2: exec
You can fix this with 'git rebase --edit-todo' and then run 'git rebase --continue'.
Or you can abort the rebase with 'git rebase --abort'.
Instead check for empty commands before starting the rebase.
Also check that the command does not contain any newlines as the
todo-list format is unable to cope with multiline commands. Note that
this changes the behavior, before this change one could do
git rebase --exec='echo one
exec echo two'
and it would insert two exec lines in the todo list, now it will error
out.

The `--preserve-merges` mode of the `rebase` command is slated to be
deprecated soon, as the more powerful `--rebase-merges` mode is
available now, and the latter was designed with the express intent to
address the shortcomings of `--preserve-merges`' design (e.g. the
inability to reorder commits in an interactive rebase).
As such, we will eventually even remove the `--preserve-merges` support,
and along with it, its tests.
In preparation for this, and also to allow the Windows phase of our
automated tests to save some well-needed time when running the test
suite, this commit introduces a new prerequisite REBASE_P, which can be
forced to being unmet by setting the environment variable
`GIT_TEST_SKIP_REBASE_P` to any non-empty string.

Originally, the `--preserve-merges` option of the `git rebase` command
piggy-backed on top of the `--interactive` feature. For that reason, the
early test cases were added to the very same test script that contains
the `git rebase -i` tests: `t3404-rebase-interactive.sh`.
However, since c42abfe7857 (rebase: introduce a dedicated backend for
--preserve-merges, 2018-05-28), the `--preserve-merges` feature got its
own backend, in preparation for converting the rest of the
`--interactive` code to built-in code, written in C rather than shell.
The reason why the `--preserve-merges` feature was not converted at the
same time is that we have something much better now: `--rebase-merges`.
That option intends to supersede `--preserve-merges`, and we will
probably deprecate the latter soon.
Once `--preserve-merges` has been deprecated for a good amount of time,
it will be time to remove it, and along with it, its tests.
In preparation for that, let's make the rest of the test cases in
`t3404-rebase-interactive.sh` independent of the test cases dedicated to
`--preserve-merges`.

Make sure that each short command is tested at least once. To
not exacerbate the runtime of the test script, do not add new
tests, but modify existing ones according to these criteria:
- The test does not have a prerequisite.
- The 'git rebase' command is not guarded by test_must_fail.
The pick commands are optional in the FAKE_LINES variable, but
when used, they do end up in the insn sheet. Test them, too.

"git rebase" etc. in Git 2.19 fails to abort when given an empty
commit log message as result of editing, which has been corrected.
* en/sequencer-empty-edit-result-aborts:
sequencer: fix --allow-empty-message behavior, make it smarter
|
|
In commit b00bf1c9a8dd ("git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the
default", 2018-06-27), several arguments were given for transplanting
empty commits without halting and asking the user for confirmation on
each commit. These arguments were incomplete because the logic clearly
assumed the only cases under consideration were transplanting of commits
with empty messages (see the comment about "There are two sources for
commits with empty messages). It didn't discuss or even consider
rewords, squashes, etc. where the user is explicitly asked for a new
commit message and provides an empty one. (My bad, I totally should
have thought about that at the time, but just didn't.)
Rewords and squashes are significantly different, though, as described
by SZEDER:
Let's suppose you start an interactive rebase, choose a commit to
squash, save the instruction sheet, rebase fires up your editor, and
then you notice that you mistakenly chose the wrong commit to
squash. What do you do, how do you abort?
Before [that commit] you could clear the commit message, exit the
editor, and then rebase would say "Aborting commit due to empty
commit message.", and you get to run 'git rebase --abort', and start
over.
But [since that commit, ...] saving the commit message as is would
let rebase continue and create a bunch of unnecessary objects, and
then you would have to use the reflog to return to the pre-rebase
state.
Also, he states:
The instructions in the commit message template, which is shown for
'reword' and 'squash', too, still say...
# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
These are sound arguments that when editing commit messages during a
sequencer operation, that if the commit message is empty then the
operation should halt and ask the user to correct. The arguments in
commit b00bf1c9a8dd (referenced above) still apply when transplanting
previously created commits with empty commit messages, so the sequencer
should not halt for those.
Furthermore, all rationale so far applies equally for cherry-pick as for
rebase. Therefore, make the code default to --allow-empty-message when
transplanting an existing commit, and to default to halting when the
user is asked to edit a commit message and provides an empty one -- for
both rebase and cherry-pick.

This rewrites complete_action() from shell to C.
A new mode is added to rebase--helper (`--complete-action`), as well as
a new flag (`--autosquash`).
Finally, complete_action() is stripped from git-rebase--interactive.sh.
The original complete_action() would return the code 2 when the todo
list contained no actions. This was a special case for rebase -i and
-p; git-rebase.sh would then apply the autostash, delete the state
directory, and die with the message "Nothing to do". This cleanup is
rewritten in C instead of returning 2. As rebase -i no longer returns
2, the comment describing this behaviour in git-rebase.sh is updated to
reflect this change.
The message "Nothing to do" is now printed with error(), and so becomes
"error: nothing to do". Some tests in t3404 check this value, so they
are updated to fit this change.
The first check might seem useless as we write "noop" to the todo list
if it is empty. Actually, the todo list might contain commented
commands (ie. empty commits). In this case, complete_action() won’t
write "noop", and will abort without starting the editor.

Using 'test_must_be_empty' is shorter and more idiomatic than
>empty &&
test_cmp empty out
as it saves the creation of an empty file. Furthermore, sometimes the
expected empty file doesn't have such a descriptive name like 'empty',
and its creation is far away from the place where it's finally used
for comparison (e.g. in 't7600-merge.sh', where two expected empty
files are created in the 'setup' test, but are used only about 500
lines later).
These cases were found by instrumenting 'test_cmp' to error out the
test script when it's used to compare empty files, and then converted
manually.
Note that even after this patch there still remain a lot of cases
where we use 'test_cmp' to check empty files:
- Sometimes the expected output is not hard-coded in the test, but
'test_cmp' is used to ensure that two similar git commands produce
the same output, and that output happens to be empty, e.g. the
test 'submodule update --merge - ignores --merge for new
submodules' in 't7406-submodule-update.sh'.
- Repetitive common tasks, including preparing the expected results
and running 'test_cmp', are often extracted into a helper
function, and some of this helper's callsites expect no output.
- For the same reason as above, the whole 'test_expect_success'
block is within a helper function, e.g. in 't3070-wildmatch.sh'.
- Or 'test_cmp' is invoked in a loop, e.g. the test 'cvs update
(-p)' in 't9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh'.

Single quotes should be escaped as \' not \\'. The bad quoting breaks
the interactive version of 'rebase --root' (which is used when there
is no '--onto' even if the user does not specify --interactive) for
authors that contain "'" as sq_dequote() called by read_author_ident()
errors out on the bad quoting.
For other interactive rebases this only affects external scripts that
read the author script and users whose git is upgraded from the shell
version of rebase -i while rebase was stopped when the author contains
"'". This is because the parsing in read_env_script() expected the
broken quoting.
This patch includes code to handle the broken quoting when
git has been upgraded while rebase was stopped. It does this by
detecting the missing "'" at the end of the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE line to see
if it should dequote \\' as "'". Note this is only implemented for
normal picks, not for creating a new root commit (rebase will stop with
an error complaining out bad quoting in that case).
The fallback code has been manually tested by reverting both the quoting
fixes in write_author_script() and the previous fix for the missing "'"
at the end of the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE line and running
t3404-rebase-interactive.sh.
Ideally rebase and am would share the same code for reading and
writing the author script, but this commit just fixes the immediate
bug.

"git rebase" started exporting GIT_DIR environment variable and

Instead of matching the old scripted Porcelains' behaviour,
compensate by also exporting GIT_WORK_TREE environment as well to

operate on different repository, but the current behaviour is

When "git rebase -i --root" creates a new root commit, it corrupts the
"author" header's timestamp by prepending a "@":
author A U Thor <author@example.com> @1112912773 -0700
The commit parser is very strict about the format of the "author"
header, and does not allow a "@" in that position.
The "@" comes from GIT_AUTHOR_DATE in "rebase-merge/author-script",
signifying a Unix epoch-based timestamp, however, read_author_ident()
incorrectly allows it to slip into the commit's "author" header, thus
corrupting it.
One possible fix would be simply to filter out the "@" when constructing
the "author" header timestamp, however, a more correct fix is to parse
the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE date (via parse_date()) and format the parsed result
into the "author" header. Since "rebase-merge/author-script" may be
edited by the user, this approach has the extra benefit of catching
other potential timestamp corruption due to hand-editing.
We can do better than calling parse_date() ourselves and constructing
the "author" header manually, however, by instead taking advantage of
fmt_ident() which does this work for us.
The benefits of using fmt_ident() are twofold. First, it simplifies the
logic considerably by allowing us to avoid the complexity of building
the "author" header in parallel with and in the same buffer from which
"rebase-merge/author-script" is being parsed. Instead, fmt_ident() is
invoked to compose the header after parsing is complete.
Second, fmt_ident() is careful to prevent "crud" from polluting the
composed ident. As with validating GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, this "crud"
avoidance prevents other (possibly hand-edited) bogus author information
from "rebase-merge/author-script" from corrupting the commit object.

When "git rebase -i --root" creates a new root commit, it corrupts the
"author" header's timezone by repeating the last digit:
author A U Thor <author@example.com> @1112912773 -07000
This is due to two bugs.
First, write_author_script() neglects to add the closing quote to the
value of GIT_AUTHOR_DATE when generating "rebase-merge/author-script".
Second, although sq_dequote() correctly diagnoses the missing closing
quote, read_author_ident() ignores sq_dequote()'s return value and
blindly uses the result of the aborted dequote.
sq_dequote() performs dequoting in-place by removing quoting and
shifting content downward. When it detects misquoting (lack of closing
quote, in this case), it gives up and returns an error without inserting
a NUL-terminator at the end of the shifted content, which explains the
duplicated last digit in the timezone.
(Note that the "@" preceding the timestamp is a separate bug which
will be fixed subsequently.)

When "git rebase -i --root" creates a new root commit (say, by swapping
in a different commit for the root), it corrupts the commit's "author"
header with trailing garbage:
author A U Thor <author@example.com> @1112912773 -07000or@example.com
This is a result of read_author_ident() neglecting to NUL-terminate the
buffer into which it composes the "author" header.
(Note that the "@" preceding the timestamp and the extra "0" in the
timezone are separate bugs which will be fixed subsequently.)
Security considerations: Construction of the "author" header by
read_author_ident() happens in-place and in parallel with parsing the
content of "rebase-merge/author-script" which occupies the same buffer.
This is possible because the constructed "author" header is always
smaller than the content of "rebase-merge/author-script". Despite
neglecting to NUL-terminate the constructed "author" header, memory is
never accessed (either by read_author_ident() or its caller) beyond the
allocated buffer since a NUL-terminator is present at the end of the
loaded "rebase-merge/author-script" content, and additional NUL's are
inserted as part of the parsing process.

The sequencer currently passes GIT_DIR, but not GIT_WORK_TREE, to exec
commands. In that configuration, we assume that whatever directory
we're in is the top level of the work tree, and git rev-parse
--show-toplevel responds accordingly. However, when we're in a
subdirectory, that isn't correct: we respond with the subdirectory as
the top level, resulting in unexpected behavior.
Ensure that we pass GIT_WORK_TREE as well as GIT_DIR so that git
operations within subdirectories work correctly.
Note that we are guaranteed to have a work tree in this case: the
relevant sequencer functions are called only from revert, cherry-pick,
and rebase--helper; all of these commands require a working tree.

rebase backends currently behave differently with empty commit messages,
largely as a side-effect of the different underlying commands on which
they are based. am-based rebases apply commits with an empty commit
message without stopping or requiring the user to specify an extra flag.
(It is interesting to note that am-based rebases are the default rebase
type, and no one has ever requested a --no-allow-empty-message flag to
change this behavior.) merge-based and interactive-based rebases (which
are ultimately based on git-commit), will currently halt on any such
commits and require the user to manually specify what to do with the
commit and continue.
One possible rationale for the difference in behavior is that the purpose
of an "am" based rebase is solely to transplant an existing history, while
an "interactive" rebase is one whose purpose is to polish a series before
making it publishable. Thus, stopping and asking for confirmation for a
possible problem is more appropriate in the latter case. However, there
are two problems with this rationale:
1) merge-based rebases are also non-interactive and there are multiple
types of rebases that use the interactive machinery but are not
explicitly interactive (e.g. when either --rebase-merges or
--keep-empty are specified without --interactive). These rebases are
also used solely to transplant an existing history, and thus also
should default to --allow-empty-message.
2) this rationale only says that the user is more accepting of stopping
in the case of an explicitly interactive rebase, not that stopping
for this particular reason actually makes sense. Exploring whether
it makes sense, requires backing up and analyzing the underlying
commands...
If git-commit did not error out on empty commits by default, accidental
creation of commits with empty messages would be a very common occurrence
(this check has caught me many times). Further, nearly all such empty
commit messages would be considered an accidental error (as evidenced by a
huge amount of documentation across version control systems and in various
blog posts explaining how important commit messages are). A simple check
for what would otherwise be a common error thus made a lot of sense, and
git-commit gained an --allow-empty-message flag for special case
overrides. This has made commits with empty messages very rare.
There are two sources for commits with empty messages for rebase (and
cherry-pick): (a) commits created in git where the user previously
specified --allow-empty-message to git-commit, and (b) commits imported
into git from other version control systems. In case (a), the user has
already explicitly specified that there is something special about this
commit that makes them not want to specify a commit message; forcing them
to re-specify with every cherry-pick or rebase seems more likely to be
infuriating than helpful. In case (b), the commit is highly unlikely to
have been authored by the person who has imported the history and is doing
the rebase or cherry-pick, and thus the user is unlikely to be the
appropriate person to write a commit message for it. Stopping and
expecting the user to modify the commit before proceeding thus seems
counter-productive.
Further, note that while empty commit messages was a common error case for
git-commit to deal with, it is a rare case for rebase (or cherry-pick).
The fact that it is rare raises the question of why it would be worth
checking and stopping on this particular condition and not others. For
example, why doesn't an interactive rebase automatically stop if the
commit message's first line is 2000 columns long, or is missing a blank
line after the first line, or has every line indented with five spaces, or
any number of other myriad problems?
Finally, note that if a user doing an interactive rebase does have the
necessary knowledge to add a message for any such commit and wants to do
so, it is rather simple for them to change the appropriate line from
'pick' to 'reword'. The fact that the subject is empty in the todo list
that the user edits should even serve as a way to notify them.
As far as I can tell, the fact that merge-based and interactive-based
rebases stop on commits with empty commit messages is solely a by-product
of having been based on git-commit. It went without notice for a long
time precisely because such cases are rare. The rareness of this
situation made it difficult to reason about, so when folks did eventually
notice this behavior, they assumed it was there for a good reason and just
added an --allow-empty-message flag. In my opinion, stopping on such
messages not desirable in any of these cases, even the (explicitly)
interactive case.

Ever since commit 18633e1a22 ("rebase -i: use the rebase--helper builtin",
2017-02-09), when a commit marked as 'reword' in an interactive rebase
has conflicts and fails to apply, when the rebase is resumed that commit
will be squashed into its parent with its commit message taken.
The issue can be understood better by looking at commit 56dc3ab04b
("sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'edit' command", 2017-01-02), which
introduced error_with_patch() for the edit command. For the edit command,
it needs to stop the rebase whether or not the patch applies cleanly. If
the patch does apply cleanly, then when it resumes it knows it needs to
amend all changes into the previous commit. If it does not apply cleanly,
then the changes should not be amended. Thus, it passes !res (success of
applying the 'edit' commit) to error_with_patch() for the to_amend flag.
The problematic line of code actually came from commit 04efc8b57c
("sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'reword' command", 2017-01-02).
Note that to get to this point in the code:
* !!res (i.e. patch application failed)
* item->command < TODO_SQUASH
* item->command != TODO_EDIT
* !is_fixup(item->command) [i.e. not squash or fixup]
So that means this can only be a failed patch application that is either a
pick, revert, or reword. We only need to amend HEAD when rewording the
root commit or a commit that has been fast-forwarded, for any of the other
cases we want a new commit, so we should not set the to_amend flag.

In this developer's earlier attempt to accelerate interactive rebases by
converting large parts from Unix shell script into portable, performant
C, the --root handling was specifically excluded (to simplify the task a
little bit; it still took over a year to get that reduced set of patches
into Git proper).
This patch ties up that loose end: now only --preserve-merges uses the
slow Unix shell script implementation to perform the interactive rebase.
As the rebase--helper reports progress to stderr (unlike the scripted
interactive rebase, which reports it to stdout, of all places), we have
to adjust a couple of tests that did not expect that for `git rebase -i
--root`.
This patch fixes -- at long last! -- the really old bug reported in
6a6bc5bdc4d (add tests for rebasing root, 2013-06-06) that rebasing with
--root *always* rewrote the root commit, even if there were no changes.
The bug still persists in --preserve-merges mode, of course, but that
mode will be deprecated as soon as the new --rebase-merges mode
stabilizes, anyway.
