When git-rebase--interactive stops due to a conflict and the only change
to be committed is in a submodule, the test for whether there is
anything to be committed ignores the staged submodule change. This
leads rebase to skip creating the commit for the change.
While unstaged submodule changes should be ignored to avoid needing to
update submodules during a rebase, it is safe to remove the
--ignore-submodules option to diff-index because --cached ensures that
it is only checking the index. This was discussed in [1] and a test is
included to ensure that unstaged changes are still ignored correctly.

Nelson Benitez Leon opened a discussion with a patch with this in the
note:
Hi, I was using git rebase -i for some time now and never occured to
me I could reorder the commit lines to affect the order the commits
are applied, learnt that recently from a git tutorial.
Nelson's patch was to stress the fact that the lines in the insn sheet can
be re-ordered in a much more verbose way. Let's add a one-liner reminder
and also remind that the lines in the insn sheet is read from top to
bottom, unlike the "git log" output.

"commit --amend" could fail in cases like the user empties the commit
message, or pre-commit failed. When it fails, rebase should be
interrupted and alert the user, rather than ignoring the error and
continue on rebasing. This also gives users a way to gracefully
interrupt a "reword" if they decided they actually want to do an "edit",
or even "rebase --abort".

The insn sheet used by "rebase -i" is designed to be easily editable by
any text editor, but an editor that is specifically meant for it (but
is otherwise unsuitable for editing regular text files) could be useful
by allowing drag & drop reordering in a GUI environment, for example.
The GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable and/or the sequence.editor
configuration variable can be used to specify such an editor, while
allowing the usual editor to be used to edit commit log messages. As
usual, the environment variable takes precedence over the configuration
variable.
It is envisioned that other "sequencer" based tools will use the same
mechanism.

After an "exec false" stops the rebase and gives the control back to
the user, if changes are added to the index, "rebase --continue" fails
with this message, which may technically be correct, but does not point
at the real problem:
.../git-rebase--interactive: line 774: .../.git/rebase-merge/author-script: No such file or directory
We could try auto-amending HEAD, but this goes against the logic of
.git/rebase-merge/author-script (see also the testcase 'auto-amend only
edited commits after "edit"' in t3404-rebase-interactive.sh) to
auto-amend something the user hasn't explicitely asked to edit.
Instead of doing anything automatically, detect the situation and give a
clean error message. While we're there, also clarify the error message in
case '. "$author_script"' fails, which now corresponds to really weird
senario where the author script exists but can't be read.

Consider this graph:
D---E (topic, HEAD)
/ /
A---B---C (master)
\
F (topic2)
and the following three commands:
1. git rebase -i -p A
2. git rebase -i -p --onto F A
3. git rebase -i -p B
Currently, (1) and (2) will pick B, D, C, and E onto A and F,
respectively. However, (3) will only pick D and E onto B, but not C,
which is inconsistent with (1) and (2). As a result, we cannot modify C
during the interactive-rebase.
The current behavior also creates a bug if we do:
4. git rebase -i -p C
In (4), E is never picked. And since interactive-rebase resets "HEAD"
to "onto" before picking any commits, D and E are lost after the
interactive-rebase.
This patch fixes the inconsistency and bug by ensuring that all children
of upstream are always picked. This essentially reverts the commit:
d80d6bc146
When compiling the todo list, commits reachable from "upstream" should
never be skipped under any conditions. Otherwise, we lose the ability
to modify them like (3), and create a bug like (4).
Two of the tests contain a scenario like (3). Since the new behavior
added more commits for picking, these tests need to be updated to
account for the additional pick lines. A new test has also been added
for (4).

When we finish a rebase, our detached HEAD is at the final
result. We update the original branch ref with this result,
and then point the HEAD symbolic ref at the updated branch.
We write a reflog for the branch update, but not for the
update of HEAD.
Because we're already at the final result on the detached
HEAD, moving to the branch actually doesn't change our
commit sha1 at all. So in that sense, a reflog entry would
be pointless.
However, humans do read reflogs, and an entry saying "rebase
finished: returning to refs/heads/master" can be helpful in
understanding what is going on.

'git rebase' uses 'git merge' to preserve merges (-p). This preserves
the original merge commit correctly, except when the original merge
commit was created by 'git merge --no-ff'. In this case, 'git rebase'
will fail to preserve the merge, because during 'git rebase', 'git
merge' will simply fast-forward and skip the commit. For example:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q
If we try to rebase M onto P, we lose the merge commit and this happens:
A---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
To correct this, we simply do a "no fast-forward" on all merge commits
when rebasing. Since by the time we decided to do a 'git merge' inside
'git rebase', it means there was a merge originally, so 'git merge'
should always create a merge commit regardless of what the merge
branches look like. This way, when rebase M onto P from the above
example, we get:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q

Before calling 'git cherry-pick', interactive rebase currently checks

Extract the code for writing the state to rebase-apply/ or

Note that non-interactive rebase stores the sha1 of the original head
in a file called orig-head, while interactive rebase stores it in a
file called head. Change this by writing to orig-head in both
cases. When reading, try to read from orig-head. If that fails, read
from head instead. This protects users who upgraded git while they had
an ongoing interactive rebase, while still making it possible to
remove the code that reads from head at some point in the future.

# s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
# f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message
# x <cmd>, exec <cmd> = Run a shell command <cmd>, and stop if it fails
#
# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
#
This does not make it clear that the format of each line is
<insn> <commit id> <explanatory text that will be printed>
but the reader will probably infer that from the automatically
generated pick examples above it.
What about the "exec" instruction? By analogy, I might imagine that
the format of that line is "exec <command> <explanatory text>", and
the "x <cmd>" hint does not address that question (at first I read it
as taking an argument <cmd> that is the name of a shell). Meanwhile,
the mention of <cmd> makes the hints harder to scan as a table.
So remove the <cmd> and add some words to remind the reader that
"exec" runs a command named by the rest of the line. To make room, it
is left to the manpage to explain that that command is run using
$SHELL and that nonzero status from that command will pause the
rebase.

In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:
1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
current branch instead of producing an error.
2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
explicit "--" is better:
# before
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Could not checkout bogus
# after
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
fatal: invalid reference: bogus
Could not checkout bogus
The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

Commit cd035b1c introduced the exec command to interactive rebase. In
doing so, it modified the way that skip_unnecessary_picks iterates through
the list of rebase commands so that it avoided collapsing multiple spaces
into a single space. This is necessary for example if the argument to the
exec command contains a path with multiple spaces in it.
The way it did this was by reading each line of rebase commands into a
single variable, and then breaking the individual components out using
echo, sed, and cut. It used the individual broken-out components for
decision making, and was still able to write the original line to the
output file from the variable it had saved it in. But, since we only
really need to look at anything other than the first element of the line
when a 'pick' command is encountered, and even that is only necessary when
we are still searching for "unnecessary" picks, and since newer rebase
commands like 'exec' may not even require a sha1 field, let's make our read
statement parse its input into a "command" variable, and a "rest" variable,
and then only break out the sha1 from $rest, and call git-rev-parse, when
absolutely necessary.
I think this future proofs this subroutine, avoids calling git-rev-parse
unnecessarily, and possibly with bogus arguments, and still accomplishes
the goal of not mangling the $rest of the rebase command.

The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation
command) at given points in history.
The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is
stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix
the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue".
This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust
enough to deal with lines like
exec >"file name with many spaces"
in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from
each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the

On systems with an echo which defaults to the XSI-conformant behavior
(Solaris, or others using Ksh), echo will interpret certain backslashed
characters as control sequences. This can cause a problem for interactive
rebase when it is used to rebase commits whose commit "subject" (the first
line) contains any of these backslashed sequences. In this case, echo will
substitute the control sequence for the backslashed characters and either
the rebased commit message will differ from the original, or the rebase
process will fail. Neither is desirable.
So work around this issue by replacing the echo statements used to print
out portions of the commit message, with printf.

The post-rewrite support, in the form of the call to
'record_in_rewritten', was hidden in the arm where we have to record a
new commit for the user. This meant that it was never invoked in the
case where the user has already amended the commit by herself.
[The test is designed to exercise both arms of the 'if' in question.]
Furthermore, recording the stopped-sha (the SHA1 of the commit before
the editing) suffered from a cut&paste error from die_with_patch and
used the wrong variable, hence it never recorded anything.
Noticed by Junio.

For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.
For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in
the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits.
--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges. Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the
committer time is different). This obviates the need to revert the
reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly. Added an
addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to
use --no-ff to handle it.

Aside from the same issue that rebase also has (remembering the
original commit across a conflict resolution), rebase -i brings an
extra twist: We need to defer writing the rewritten list in the case
of {squash,fixup} because their rewritten result should be the last
commit in the squashed group.

The rough structure of run_rewrite_hook() comes from
run_receive_hook() in receive-pack.
We introduce a --no-post-rewrite option and use it to avoid the hook

Bash (4.0.24) on OpenBSD 4.6 refuses to run this snippet:
$ cat gomi.sh
#!/bin/sh
one="/var/tmp/1 1"
rm -f /var/tmp/1 "/var/tmp/1 1"
echo hello >$one
$ sh gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1*
/var/tmp/1 1
$ bash gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1*
gomi.sh: line 4: $one: ambiguous redirect
ls: /var/tmp/1*: No such file or directory
Every competent shell programmer knows that a <$word in redirection is not
subject to field splitting (POSIX.1 "2.7 Redirection" explicitly lists the
kind of expansion performed: "... the word that follows the redirection
operator shall be subjected to ...", and "Field Splitting" is not among
them).
Some clueless folks apparently decided that users need to be protected in
the name of "security", however.
Output from "git grep -e '> *\$' -- '*.sh'" indicates that rebase-i
suffers from this bogus "safety". Work it around by surrounding the
variable reference with a dq pair.

There is no point doing self-assignments of these variables. Instead,
just export them to the environment, but do so in a sub-shell, because
VAR1=VAL1 VAR2=VAL2 ... command arg1 arg2...
does not mark the variables exported if command that is run
is a shell function, according to POSIX.1.
The callers of do_with_author do not rely on seeing the effect of any
shell variable assignments that may happen inside what was called through
this shell function (currently "output" is the only one), so running it in
the subshell doesn't have an adverse semantic effect.

When a squash/fixup fails due to a conflict, the user is required to
edit the commit message. Previously, if further squash/fixup commands
followed the conflicting squash/fixup, this user-edited message was
discarded and a new automatically-generated commit message was
suggested.
Change the handling of conflicts within squash/fixup command series:
Whenever the user is required to intervene, consider the resulting
commit to be a new basis for the following squash/fixups and use its
commit message in later suggested combined commit messages.

based on the same commit that forked from the upstream. An earlier commit

rebase -i: abort cleanly if the editor fails to launch
technical-docs: document hash API
api-strbuf.txt: fix typos and document launch_editor()
If the user's configured editor is emacsclient, the editor
will fail to launch if emacs is not running and the git
command that tried to lanuch the editor will abort. For most
commands, all you have to do is to start emacs and repeat
the command.
The "git rebase -i" command, however, aborts without cleaning
the "$GIT_DIR/rebase-merge" directory if it fails to launch the
editor, so you'll need to do "git rebase --abort" before
repeating the rebase command.
Change "git rebase -i" to terminate using "die_abort" (instead of
with "die") if the initial launch of the editor fails.

If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output
from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what
they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines,
by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use.
The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only
our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of
our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to
the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used
to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the
hook scripts to protect themselves.
On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in
the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user
might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly.
The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment
variable globally will allow this use case.
