A common scenario is if a user is working on a topic branch and they
wish to make some changes to intermediate commits or autosquash, they
would run something such as
git rebase -i --onto master... master
in order to preserve the merge base. This is useful when contributing a
patch series to the Git mailing list, one often starts on top of the
current 'master'. While developing the patches, 'master' is also
developed further and it is sometimes not the best idea to keep rebasing
on top of 'master', but to keep the base commit as-is.
In addition to this, a user wishing to test individual commits in a
topic branch without changing anything may run
git rebase -x ./test.sh master... master
Since rebasing onto the merge base of the branch and the upstream is
such a common case, introduce the --keep-base option as a shortcut.
This allows us to rewrite the above as
git rebase -i --keep-base master
and
git rebase -x ./test.sh --keep-base master
respectively.
Add tests to ensure --keep-base works correctly in the normal case and
fails when there are multiple merge bases, both in regular and
interactive mode. Also, test to make sure conflicting options cause
rebase to fail. While we're adding test cases, add a missing
set_fake_editor call to 'rebase -i --onto master...side'.
While we're documenting the --keep-base option, change an instance of
"merge-base" to "merge base", which is the consistent spelling.

Before, when we rebased with a --fork-point invocation where the
fork-point wasn't empty, we would be setting options.restrict_revision.
The fast-forward logic would automatically declare that the rebase was
not fast-forwardable if it was set. However, this was painting with a
very broad brush.
Refine the logic so that we can fast-forward in the case where the
restricted revision is equal to the merge base, since we stop rebasing
at the merge base anyway.

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.

Add more stress tests for the can_fast_forward() case in
rebase.c. These tests are getting rather verbose, but now we can see
under --ff and --no-ff whether we skip work, or whether we're forced
to run the rebase.
These tests aren't supposed to endorse the status quo, just test for
what we're currently doing.

Change "same head" introduced in the preceding commit to check whether
the rebase.c code lands in the can_fast_forward() case in, and thus
prints out an "is up to date" and aborts early.
In some of these cases we make it past that and to "rewinding head",
then do a rebase, only to find out there's nothing to change so HEAD
stays at the same OID.
These tests presumed these two cases were the same thing. In terms of
where HEAD ends up they are, but we're not only interested in rebase
semantics, but also whether or not we're needlessly doing work when we
could avoid it entirely.
I'm adding "same" and "diff" here because I'll follow-up and add
--no-ff tests, where some of those will be "diff"-erent, so add the
"diff" code already.

When rebase is run on a branch that can be fast-forwarded, this should
automatically be done. Create test to ensure this behavior happens.
There are some cases that currently don't pass. The first case is where
a feature and master have diverged, running
"git rebase master... master" causes a full rebase to happen even though
a fast-forward should happen.
The second case is when we are doing "git rebase --fork-point" and a
fork-point commit is found. Once again, a full rebase happens even
though a fast-forward should happen.
Mark these cases as failure so we can fix it later.
