From 1e461c4f1fc43a00c7f576a111b4f002ba2d2557 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2016 18:31:35 -0400 Subject: rebase-interactive: drop early check for valid ident Since the very inception of interactive-rebase in 1b1dce4 (Teach rebase an interactive mode, 2007-06-25), there has been a preemptive check, before looking at any commits, to see whether the user has a valid name/email combination. This is convenient, because it means that we abort the operation before even beginning (rather than just complaining that we are unable to pick a particular commit). However, it does the wrong thing when the rebase does not actually need to generate any new commits (e.g., a fast-forward with no commits to pick, or one where the base stays the same, and we just pick the same commits without rewriting anything). In this case it may complain about the lack of ident, even though one would not be needed to complete the operation. This may seem like mere nit-picking, but because interactive rebase underlies the "preserve-merges" rebase, somebody who has set "pull.rebase" to "preserve" cannot make even a fast-forward pull without a valid ident, as we bail before even realizing the fast-forward nature. This commit drops the extra ident check entirely. This means we rely on individual commands that generate commit objects to complain. So we will continue to notice and prevent cases that actually do create commits, but with one important difference: we fail while actually executing the "pick" operations, and leave the rebase in a conflicted, half-done state. In some ways this is less convenient, but in some ways it is more so; the user can then manually commit or even "git rebase --continue" after setting up their ident (or providing it as a one-off on the command line).
