Currently, if a git command fails in an unexpected way, such as a
segfault, it will be masked and ignored. Replace the ! with
test_must_fail so that only expected failures pass.

In the previous patches, the mechanical application of changes left some
duplicate statements in the test case which were not strictly incorrect
but were redundant and possibly misleading. Remove these duplicate
statements so that it is clear that the intent behind the tests are that
the content of the file stays the same throughout the whole test case.

We currently have many instances of `test <line> = $(cat <file>)` and
`test $(cat <file>) = <line>`. In the case where this fails, it will be
difficult for a developer to debug since the output will be masked.
Replace these instances with invocations of test_cmp().
This change was done with the following GNU sed expressions:
s/\(\s*\)test \([^=]*\)= "$(cat \([^)]*\))"/\1echo \2>expect \&\&\n\1test_cmp expect \3/
s/\(\s*\)test "$(cat \([^)]*\))" = \([^&]*\)\( &&\)\?$/\1echo \3 >expect \&\&\n\1test_cmp expect \2\4/
A future patch will clean up situations where we have multiple duplicate
statements within a test case. This is done to keep this patch purely
mechanical.

When wrapping a git command in a command substitution within another
command, we throw away the git command's exit code. In case the git
command fails, we would like to know about it rather than the failure
being silent. Extract git commands so that their exit codes are not
lost.
Instead of using `test -n` or `test -z`, replace them respectively with
invocations of test_file_not_empty() and test_must_be_empty() so that we
get better debugging information in the case of a failure.

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.

"git pull --rebase=interactive" learned "i" as a short-hand for
"interactive".
* js/pull-rebase-type-shorthand:
pull --rebase=<type>: allow single-letter abbreviations for the type
|
|
Git for Windows' original 4aa8b8c8283 (Teach 'git pull' to handle
--rebase=interactive, 2011-10-21) had support for the very convenient
abbreviation
git pull --rebase=i
which was later lost when it was ported to the builtin `git pull`, and
it was not introduced before the patch eventually made it into Git as
f5eb87b98dd (pull: allow interactive rebase with --rebase=interactive,
2016-01-13).
However, it is *really* a useful short hand for the occasional rebasing
pull on branches that do not usually want to be rebased.
So let's reintroduce this convenience, at long last.

If has_uncommitted_changes() can't resolve HEAD (e.g.,
because it's unborn or corrupt), then we end up calling
run_diff_index() with an empty revs.pending array. This
causes a segfault, as run_diff_index() blindly looks at the
first pending item.
Fixing this raises a question of fault: should
run_diff_index() handle this case, or is the caller wrong to
pass an empty pending list?
Looking at the other callers of run_diff_index(), they
handle this in one of three ways:
- they resolve the object themselves, and avoid doing the
diff if it's not valid
- they resolve the object themselves, and fall back to the
empty tree
- they use setup_revisions(), which will die() if the
object isn't valid
Since this is the only broken caller, that argues that the
fix should go there. Falling back to the empty tree makes
sense here, as we'd claim uncommitted changes if and only if
the index is non-empty. This may be a little funny in the
case of corruption (the corrupt HEAD probably _isn't_
empty), but:
- we don't actually know the reason here that HEAD didn't
resolve (the much more likely case is that we have an
unborn HEAD, in which case the empty tree comparison is
the right thing)
- this matches how other code, like "git diff", behaves
While we're thinking about it, let's add an assertion to
run_diff_index(). It should always be passed a single
object, and as this bug shows, it's easy to get it wrong
(and an assertion is easier to hunt down than a segfault, or
a quietly ignored extra tree).

The git UI can be improved by addressing the error messages to those
they help: inexperienced and casual git users. To this intent, it is
helpful to make sure the terms used in those messages can be understood
by this segment of users, and that they guide them to resolve the
problem.
In particular, failure to apply a patch during a git rebase is a common
problem that can be very destabilizing for the inexperienced user. It is
important to lead them toward the resolution of the conflict (which is a
3-steps process, thus complex) and reassure them that they can escape a
situation they can't handle with "--abort". This commit answer those two
points by detailling the resolution process and by avoiding cryptic git
linguo.

When `git pull --rebase --autostash` in a dirty repository resulted in a
fast-forward, nothing was being autostashed and the pull failed. This
was due to a shortcut to avoid running rebase when we can fast-forward,
but autostash is ignored on that codepath.
Now we will only take the shortcut if autostash is not in effect.
Based on a few tests against the git.git repo, the shortcut does not
seem to give us significant performance benefits, on Linux at least.
Regardless, it is more important to be correct than to be fast.

"git pull --rebase", when there is no new commits on our side since
we forked from the upstream, should be able to fast-forward without
invoking "git rebase", but it didn't.
* jc/pull-rebase-ff:
pull: fast-forward "pull --rebase=true"
|
|
"git pull --rebase" always runs "git rebase" after fetching the
commit to serve as the new base, even when the new base is a
descendant of the current HEAD, i.e. we haven't done any work.
In such a case, we can instead fast-forward to the new base without
invoking the rebase process.

It was noticed by Brendan Forster last October that the builtin `git am`
regressed on that. Our hot fix reverted to spawning the recursive merge
instead of using it as a library function.
As we are about to revert that hot fix, after making the recursive merge a
true library function (i.e. a function that does not die() in case of
"normal" errors), let's add a test that verifies that we do not regress on
the same problem which made the hot fix necessary in the first place.

Mark message for translation telling the user she has conflicts to
resolve. Expose each particular use case, in order to enable translating
entire sentences which would facilitate translating into other
languages.
Change "Pull" to lowercase to match other instances. Update test
t5520-pull.sh, that relied on the old error message, to use the new one.
Although we loose in source code conciseness, we would gain better
translations because translators can 1) translate the entire sentence,
including those terms concerning Git (committing, merging, etc) 2) have
leeway to adapt to their languages.

git-pull silently ignores the --verify-signatures option when
running --rebase, potentially leaving users in the belief that
the rebase operation would check for valid GPG signatures.
Implementing --verify-signatures for git-rebase was talked about,
but doubts for a valid workflow rose up. Since you usually merge
other's branches into your branch you might have an interest that
their side has a valid GPG signature.
Rebasing, on the other hand, is to rebuild your branch on top of
other's work, in order to push the result back, and it is too late
to reject their work even if you find their commits lack acceptable
signature.
Let's warn users that the --verify-signatures option is ignored
during "pull --rebase"; users do not wonder what would happen if
their commits lack acceptable signature that way.

If rebase.autoStash configuration variable is set, there is no way to
override it for "git pull --rebase" from the command line.
Teach "git pull --rebase" the --[no-]autostash command line flag which
overrides the current value of rebase.autoStash, if set. As "git rebase"
understands the --[no-]autostash option, it's just a matter of passing
the option to underlying "git rebase" when "git pull --rebase" is called.

A couple of years ago, I found the need to collaborate on topic
branches that were rebased all the time, and I really needed to see
what I was rebasing when pulling, so I introduced an
interactively-rebasing pull.
The way builtin pull works, this change also supports the value
'interactive' for the 'branch.<name>.rebase' config variable, which
is a neat thing because users can now configure given branches for
interactively-rebasing pulls without having to type out the complete
`--rebase=interactive` option every time they pull.

While parsing the command-line arguments, git-pull stops parsing at the
first unrecognized option, assuming that any subsequent options are for
git-fetch, and can thus be kept in the shell's positional parameters
list, so that it can be passed to git-fetch via the expansion of "$@".
However, certain functions in git-pull assume that the positional
parameters do not contain any options:
* error_on_no_merge_candidates() uses the number of positional
parameters to determine which error message to print out, and will
thus print the wrong message if git-fetch's options are passed in as
well.
* the call to get_remote_merge_branch() assumes that the positional
parameters only contains the optional repo and refspecs, and will
thus silently fail if git-fetch's options are passed in as well.
* --dry-run is a valid git-fetch option, but if provided after any
git-fetch options, it is not recognized by git-pull and thus git-pull
will continue to run the merge or rebase.
Fix these bugs by teaching git-pull to parse git-fetch's options as
well. Add tests to prevent regressions.
This removes the limitation where git-fetch's options have to come after
git-merge's and git-rebase's options on the command line. Update the
documentation to reflect this.

a8c9bef (pull: improve advice for unconfigured error case, 2009-10-05)
fully established the current advices given by git-pull for the
different cases where git-fetch will not have anything marked for merge:
1. We fetched from a specific remote, and a refspec was given, but it
ended up not fetching anything. This is usually because the user
provided a wildcard refspec which had no matches on the remote end.
2. We fetched from a non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to
merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the
default remote, and thus the user must specify the branches to merge.
3. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but:
a. We are not on a branch, so there will never be a configured branch
to merge with.
b. We are on a branch, but there is no configured branch to merge
with.
4. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but the
configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't
exist, or wasn't part of the configured fetch refspec)
Implement tests for the above 5 cases to ensure that the correct code
paths are triggered for each of these cases.

If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.
This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.
Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to
rebase.
Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.

2006-11-16). It thus did not initially deal with
uncommitted changes in the unborn branch. The case of an
_unstaged_ untracked file was fixed by 4b3ffe5 (pull: do not
clobber untracked files on initial pull, 2011-03-25).
However, it still clobbered existing staged files, both when
the file exists in the merged commit (it will be
overwritten), and when it does not (it will be deleted).
We fix this by doing a two-way merge, where the "current"
side of the merge is an empty tree, and the "target" side is
HEAD (already updated to FETCH_HEAD at this point). This
amounts to claiming that all work in the index was done vs.
an empty tree, and thus all content of the index is
precious.
Note that this use of read-tree just gives us protection
against overwriting index and working tree changes. It will
not actually result in a 3-way merge conflict in the index.
This is fine, as this is a rare situation, and the conflict
would not be interesting anyway (it must, by definition, be
an add/add conflict with the whole content conflicting). And
it makes it simpler for the user to recover, as they have no
HEAD to "git reset" back to.
