"git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the
machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing
"--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral
equivalent of "format-patch piped to am"). The rebase.backend
configuration variable can be set to customize.

git-rebase.txt: update description of --allow-empty-message
As established in the previous commit and commit b00bf1c9a8
(git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default, 2018-06-27), the
behavior for rebase with different backends in various edge or corner
cases is often more happenstance than design. This commit addresses
another such corner case: commits which "become empty".
A careful reader may note that there are two types of commits which would
become empty due to a rebase:
* [clean cherry-pick] Commits which are clean cherry-picks of upstream
commits, as determined by `git log --cherry-mark ...`. Re-applying
these commits would result in an empty set of changes and a
duplicative commit message; i.e. these are commits that have
"already been applied" upstream.
* [become empty] Commits which are not empty to start, are not clean
cherry-picks of upstream commits, but which still become empty after
being rebased. This happens e.g. when a commit has changes which
are a strict subset of the changes in an upstream commit, or when
the changes of a commit can be found spread across or among several
upstream commits.
Clearly, in both cases the changes in the commit in question are found
upstream already, but the commit message may not be in the latter case.
When cherry-mark can determine a commit is already upstream, then
because of how cherry-mark works this means the upstream commit message
was about the *exact* same set of changes. Thus, the commit messages
can be assumed to be fully interchangeable (and are in fact likely to be
completely identical). As such, the clean cherry-pick case represents a
case when there is no information to be gained by keeping the extra
commit around. All rebase types have always dropped these commits, and
no one to my knowledge has ever requested that we do otherwise.
For many of the become empty cases (and likely even most), we will also
be able to drop the commit without loss of information -- but this isn't
quite always the case. Since these commits represent cases that were
not clean cherry-picks, there is no upstream commit message explaining
the same set of changes. Projects with good commit message hygiene will
likely have the explanation from our commit message contained within or
spread among the relevant upstream commits, but not all projects run
that way. As such, the commit message of the commit being rebased may
have reasoning that suggests additional changes that should be made to
adapt to the new base, or it may have information that someone wants to
add as a note to another commit, or perhaps someone even wants to create
an empty commit with the commit message as-is.
Junio commented on the "become-empty" types of commits as follows[1]:
WRT a change that ends up being empty (as opposed to a change that
is empty from the beginning), I'd think that the current behaviour
is desireable one. "am" based rebase is solely to transplant an
existing history and want to stop much less than "interactive" one
whose purpose is to polish a series before making it publishable,
and asking for confirmation ("this has become empty--do you want to
drop it?") is more appropriate from the workflow point of view.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqfu1fswdh.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/
I would simply add that his arguments for "am"-based rebases actually
apply to all non-explicitly-interactive rebases. Also, since we are
stating that different cases should have different defaults, it may be
worth providing a flag to allow users to select which behavior they want
for these commits.
Introduce a new command line flag for selecting the desired behavior:
--empty={drop,keep,ask}
with the definitions:
drop: drop commits which become empty
keep: keep commits which become empty
ask: provide the user a chance to interact and pick what to do with
commits which become empty on a case-by-case basis
In line with Junio's suggestion, if the --empty flag is not specified,
pick defaults as follows:
explicitly interactive: ask
otherwise: drop

Different rebase backends have different treatment for commits which
start empty (i.e. have no changes relative to their parent), and the
--keep-empty option was added at some point to allow adjusting behavior.
The handling of commits which start empty is actually quite similar to
commit b00bf1c9a8 (git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default,
2018-06-27), which pointed out that the behavior for various backends is
often more happenstance than design. The specific change made in that
commit is actually quite relevant as well and much of the logic there
directly applies here.
It makes a lot of sense in 'git commit' to error out on the creation of
empty commits, unless an override flag is provided. However, once
someone determines that there is a rare case that merits using the
manual override to create such a commit, it is somewhere between
annoying and harmful to have to take extra steps to keep such
intentional commits around. Granted, empty commits are quite rare,
which is why handling of them doesn't get considered much and folks tend
to defer to existing (accidental) behavior and assume there was a reason
for it, leading them to just add flags (--keep-empty in this case) that
allow them to override the bad defaults. Fix the interactive backend so
that --keep-empty is the default, much like we did with
--allow-empty-message. The am backend should also be fixed to have
--keep-empty semantics for commits that start empty, but that is not
included in this patch other than a testcase documenting the failure.
Note that there was one test in t3421 which appears to have been written
expecting --keep-empty to not be the default as correct behavior. This
test was introduced in commit 00b8be5a4d ("add tests for rebasing of
empty commits", 2013-06-06), which was part of a series focusing on
rebase topology and which had an interesting original cover letter at
https://lore.kernel.org/git/1347949878-12578-1-git-send-email-martinvonz@gmail.com/
which noted
Your input especially appreciated on whether you agree with the
intent of the test cases.
and then went into a long example about how one of the many tests added
had several questions about whether it was correct. As such, I believe
most the tests in that series were about testing rebase topology with as
many different flags as possible and were not trying to state in general
how those flags should behave otherwise.

Allow the rebase.missingCommitsCheck configuration to kick in when
"rebase --edit-todo" and "rebase --continue" restarts the procedure.
* ag/edit-todo-drop-check:
rebase-interactive: warn if commit is dropped with `rebase --edit-todo'
sequencer: move check_todo_list_from_file() to rebase-interactive.c
"git rebase -i" (and friends) used to unnecessarily check out the
tip of the branch to be rebased, which has been corrected.
* ag/rebase-avoid-unneeded-checkout:
rebase -i: stop checking out the tip of the branch to rebase
When set to "warn" or "error", `rebase.missingCommitsCheck' would make
`rebase -i' warn if the user removed commits from the todo list to
prevent mistakes. Unfortunately, `rebase --edit-todo' and `rebase
--continue' don't take it into account.
This adds the ability for `rebase --edit-todo' and `rebase --continue'
to check if commits were dropped by the user. As both edit_todo_list()
and complete_action() parse the todo list and check for dropped commits,
the code doing so in the latter is removed to reduce duplication.
`edit_todo_list_advice' is removed from sequencer.c as it is no longer
used there.
This changes when a backup of the todo list is made. Until now, it was
saved only once, before the initial edit. Now, it is also made if the
original todo list has no errors or no dropped commits. Thus, the
backup should be error-free. Without this, sequencer_continue()
(`rebase --continue') could only compare the current todo list against
the original, unedited list. Before this change, this file was only
used by edit_todo_list() and `rebase -p' to create the backup before
the initial edit, and check_todo_list_from_file(), only used by
`rebase -p' to check for dropped commits after its own initial edit.
If the edited list has an error, a file, `dropped', is created to
report the issue. Otherwise, it is deleted. Usually, the edited list
is compared against the list before editing, but if this file exists,
it will be compared to the backup. Also, if the file exists,
sequencer_continue() checks the list for dropped commits. If the
check was performed every time, it would fail when resuming a rebase
after resolving a conflict, as the backup will contain commits that
were picked, but they will not be in the new list. It's safe to
ignore this check if `dropped' does not exist, because that means that
no errors were found at the last edition, so any missing commits here
have already been picked.
Five tests are added to t3404. The tests for
`rebase.missingCommitsCheck = warn' and `rebase.missingCommitsCheck =
error' have a similar structure. First, we start a rebase with an
incorrect command on the first line. Then, we edit the todo list,
removing the first and the last lines. This demonstrates that
`--edit-todo' notices dropped commits, but not when the command is
incorrect. Then, we restore the original todo list, and edit it to
remove the last line. This demonstrates that if we add a commit after
the initial edit, then remove it, `--edit-todo' will notice that it
has been dropped. Then, the actual rebase takes place. In the third
test, it is also checked that `--continue' will refuse to resume the
rebase if commits were dropped. The fourth test checks that no errors
are raised when resuming a rebase after resolving a conflict, the fifth
checks that no errors are raised when editing the todo list after
pausing the rebase.

The message contained in `edit_todo_list_advice' (sequencer.c) is
printed after the initial edit of the todo list if it can't be parsed or
if commits were dropped. This is done either in complete_action() for
`rebase -i', or in check_todo_list_from_file() for `rebase -p'.
Since we want to add this check when editing the list, we also want to
use this message from edit_todo_list() (rebase-interactive.c). To this
end, check_todo_list_from_file() is moved to rebase-interactive.c, and
`edit_todo_list_advice' is copied there. In the next commit,
complete_action() will stop using it, and `edit_todo_list_advice' will
be removed from sequencer.c.

One of the first things done when using a sequencer-based
rebase (ie. `rebase -i', `rebase -r', or `rebase -m') is to make a todo
list. This requires knowledge of the commit range to rebase. To get
the oid of the last commit of the range, the tip of the branch to rebase
is checked out with prepare_branch_to_be_rebased(), then the oid of the
head is read. After this, the tip of the branch is not even modified.
The `am' backend, on the other hand, does not check out the branch.
On big repositories, it's a performance penalty: with `rebase -i', the
user may have to wait before editing the todo list while git is
extracting the branch silently, and "quiet" rebases will be slower than
`am'.
Since we already have the oid of the tip of the branch in
`opts->orig_head', it's useless to switch to this commit.
This removes the call to prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() in
do_interactive_rebase(), and adds a `orig_head' parameter to
get_revision_ranges(). prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() is removed as it
is no longer used.
This introduces a visible change: as we do not switch on the tip of the
branch to rebase, no reflog entry is created at the beginning of the
rebase for it.
Unscientific performance measurements, performed on linux.git, are as
follow:

git am or rebase have a --skip flag to skip the current commit if the
user wishes to do so. During a cherry-pick or revert a user could
likewise skip a commit, but needs to use 'git reset' (or in the case
of conflicts 'git reset --merge'), followed by 'git (cherry-pick |
revert) --continue' to skip the commit. This is more annoying and
sometimes confusing on the users' part. Add a `--skip` option to make
skipping commits easier for the user and to make the commands more
consistent.

it.
This fixes some test failures that happen if do_interactive_rebase() is
called without forking rebase--interactive which we will implement
shortly. Running
git rebase -i master topic
starting on master created empty todo lists because all the commits in
topic were marked as cherry-picks. After topic was checked out in
prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() the working tree contained the contents
from topic but the index contained master and the cache entries were
still valid. This meant that diff_populate_filespec() which loads the

When cherry-picking or reverting a sequence of commits and if the final
pick/revert has conflicts and the user uses `git commit` to commit the
conflict resolution and does not run `git cherry-pick --continue` then
the sequencer state is left behind. This can cause problems later. In my
case I cherry-picked a sequence of commits the last one of which I
committed with `git commit` after resolving some conflicts, then a while
later, on a different branch I aborted a revert which rewound my HEAD to
the end of the cherry-pick sequence on the previous branch. Avoid this
potential problem by removing the sequencer state if we're committing or

function (transform_todo_file()) that read the todo list from the disk
and wrote it back, resulting in useless disk accesses.
This changes edit_todo_list() to call directly todo_list_write_to_file()
instead.

As rearrange_squash_in_todo_file() is only needed inside of
rebase--interactive.c for `rebase -p', it is moved there from
sequencer.c.
The parameter r (repository) is dropped along the way, and the error
handling is slightly improved.

complete_action() used functions that read the todo-list file, made some
changes to it, and wrote it back to the disk.
The previous commits were dedicated to separate the part that deals with
the file from the actual logic of these functions. Now that this is
done, we can call directly the "logic" functions to avoid useless file
access.
The parsing of the list has to be done by the caller. If the buffer of
the todo list provided by the caller is empty, a `noop' command is
directly added to the todo list, without touching the buffer.

This makes sequencer_make_script() write its script to a strbuf (ie. the
buffer of a todo_list) instead of a FILE. This reduce the amount of
read/write made by rebase interactive.

This refactors rearrange_squash() to work on a todo_list to avoid
redundant reads and writes. The function is renamed
todo_list_rearrange_squash().
The old version created a new buffer, which was directly written to the
disk. This new version creates a new item list by just copying items
from the old item list, without creating a new buffer. This eliminates
the need to reparse the todo list, but this also means its buffer cannot
be directly written to the disk.
As rebase -p still need to check the todo list from the disk, a new
function is introduced, rearrange_squash_in_todo_file().
complete_action() still uses rearrange_squash_in_todo_file() for now.
This will be changed in a future commit.

This refactors sequencer_add_exec_commands() to work on a todo_list to
avoid redundant reads and writes to the disk.
Instead of inserting the `exec' commands between the other commands and
re-parsing the buffer at the end, they are appended to the buffer once,
and a new list of items is created. Items from the old list are copied
across and new `exec' items are appended when necessary. This
eliminates the need to reparse the buffer, but this also means we have
to use todo_list_write_to_disk() to write the file.
todo_list_add_exec_commands() and sequencer_add_exec_commands() are
modified to take a string list instead of a string -- one item for each
command. This makes it easier to insert a new command to the todo list
for each command to execute.
sequencer_add_exec_commands() still reads the todo list from the disk,
as it is needed by rebase -p.
complete_action() still uses sequencer_add_exec_commands() for now.
This will be changed in a future commit.

Commit d0aaa46fd3 ("commit: move empty message checks to libgit",
2017-11-10) removes the last use of 'sign_off_header' outside of
the "sequencer.c" source file. Remove the extern declaration from
the header file and mark the definition of the symbol with the
static keyword.

This refactors check_todo_list() to work on a todo_list to avoid
redundant reads and writes to the disk. The function is renamed
todo_list_check(). The parsing of the two todo lists is left to the
caller.
As rebase -p still need to check the todo list from the disk, a new
function is introduced, check_todo_list_from_file(). It reads the file
from the disk, parses it, pass the todo_list to todo_list_check(), and
writes it back to the disk.
As get_missing_commit_check_level() and the enum
missing_commit_check_level are no longer needed inside of sequencer.c,
they are moved to rebase-interactive.c, and made static again.

This introduces a new function to recreate the text of a todo list from
its commands and write it to a file. This will be useful as the next
few commits will change the use of the buffer in struct todo_list so it
will no longer be a mirror of the file on disk.
This functionality already exists in todo_list_transform(), but this
function was made to replace the buffer of a todo list, which is not
what we want here. Thus, the part of todo_list_transform() that
replaces the buffer is dropped, and the function is renamed
todo_list_to_strbuf(). It is called by todo_list_write_to_file() to
fill the buffer to write to the disk.
todo_list_write_to_file() can also take care of appending the help text
to the buffer before writing it to the disk, or to write only the first
n items of the list. This feature will be used by
skip_unnecessary_picks(), which has to write done commands in a file.

todo_list_transform() is not a static function, because it will be used
by edit_todo_list() from rebase-interactive.c in a future commit.

The 'arg' field of todo_item used to store the address of the first byte
of the parameter of a command in a todo list. It was associated with
the length of the parameter (the 'arg_len' field).
This replaces the 'arg' field by 'arg_offset'. This new field does not
store the address of the parameter, but the position of the first
character of the parameter in the buffer. todo_item_get_arg() is added
to return the address of the parameter of an item.
This will prevent todo_list_add_exec_commands() from having to do awful
pointer arithmetics when growing the todo list buffer.
