Teach git-rebase a new option --root, which instructs it to rebase the
entire history leading up to <branch>. This option must be used with
--onto <newbase>, and causes commits that already exist in <newbase>
to be skipped. (Normal operation skips commits that already exist in
<upstream> instead.)
One possible use-case is with git-svn: suppose you start hacking
(perhaps offline) on a new project, but later notice you want to
commit this work to SVN. You will have to rebase the entire history,
including the root commit, on a (possibly empty) commit coming from
git-svn, to establish a history connection. This previously had to
be done by cherry-picking the root commit manually.

If you have unstaged changes in your working tree and try to
rebase, you will get the cryptic "foo: needs update"
message, but nothing else. If you have staged changes, you
get "your index is not up-to-date".
Let's improve this situation in two ways:
- for unstaged changes, let's also tell them we are
canceling the rebase, and why (in addition to the "needs
update" lines)
- for the staged changes case, let's use language that is a
little more clear to the user: their index contains
uncommitted changes

It is sometimes desirable to disable the safety net of pre-rebase hook
when the user knows what he is doing (for example, when the original
changes on the branch have not been shown to the public yet).
This teaches --no-verify option to git-rebase, which is similar to the way
pre-commit hook is bypassed by git-commit.

As a result of implementation details, 'git rebase' could
previously only preserve merges in interactive mode. That
limitation was hard for users to understand and awkward to
explain.
This patch works around it by running the interactive rebase
helper git-rebase--interactive with GIT_EDITOR set to ':'
when the user passes "-p" but not "-i" to the rebase command.
The effect is that the interactive rebase helper is used but
the user never sees an editor.
The test-case included in this patch was originally written
by Stephen Habermann <stephen@exigencecorp.com>, but has
been extensively modified since its creation.

If .git/rebase-merge or .git/rebase-apply/rebasing exists, git-rebase
will die with a message saying that a rebase is in progress and the user
should try --skip/--abort/--continue.
If .git/rebase-apply/applying exists, git-rebase will die with a message
saying that git-am is in progress, regardless how many arguments are
given.
If no arguments are given and .git/rebase-apply/ exists, but neither a

When detaching the HEAD to the base commit, the "git checkout" command
could fail if, for example, upstream contains a file that would overrwrite

did not have -q option, but there is no reason to keep doing it anymore.

"merge" and "reset" leave the original point in history in ORIG_HEAD,
which makes it easy to go back to where you were before you inflict a
major damage to your history and realize that you do not like the result
at all. These days with reflog, we technically do not need to use
ORIG_HEAD, but it is a handy way nevertheless.
This teaches "am" and "rebase" (all forms --- the vanilla one that uses
"am" as its backend, "-m" variant that cherry-picks, and "--interactive")
to do the same.
The original idea and a partial implementation to do this only for "rebase
-m" was by Brian Gernhardt; this extends on his idea.

This teaches "git rebase [--onto O] A B" to omit an unnecessary checkout
of branch B before it goes on.
"git-rebase" originally was about rebasing the current branch to somewhere
else, and when the extra parameter to name which branch to rebase was
added, it defined the semantics to the safest but stupid "first switch to
the named branch and then operate exactly the same way as if we were
already on that branch".
But the first thing the real part of "rebase" does is to reset the work
tree and the index to the "onto" commit. Which means the "rebase that
branch" form switched the work tree to the tip of the branch only to
immediately switch again to another commit. This was wasteful.

When rebasing changes that contain issues that the pre-commit hook flags
as problematic, the rebase cannot be continued. However, rebase is about
transplanting commits that are already made with as little distortion as
possible, and pre-commit check should not interfere.
Earlier, c5b09fe (Avoid update hook during git-rebase --interactive,
2007-12-19) fixed "rebase -i", but "rebase -m" shared the same issue.

because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been

advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"

Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory
.git/rr-cache. That is definitely not in line with most other
features, which are enabled by a config variable.
So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set
to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if
.git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable
rerere temporarily.
If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection

Consider this history:
o--o-...-B <- origin
\ \
x--x--M--x--x <- master
In this situation, rebase considers master fully up-to-date and would
not do anything. However, if there were additional commits on origin,
the rebase would run and move the commits x on top of origin.
Here we change rebase to short-circuit out only if the history since origin
is strictly linear. Consequently, the above as well as a history like this
would be linearized:
o--o <- origin

Don't you just hate the fact sometimes, that git-rebase just applies
the patches, without any possibility to edit them, or rearrange them?
With "--interactive", git-rebase now lets you edit the list of patches,
so that you can reorder, edit and delete patches.
Such a list will typically look like this:
pick deadbee The oneline of this commit
pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
...
By replacing the command "pick" with the command "edit", you can amend
that patch and/or its commit message, and by replacing it with "squash"
you can tell rebase to fold that patch into the patch before that.
It is derived from the script sent to the list in

When you want to amend the commit message of 3 commits before
the tip of the current branch, say 'master',
A--B--C--D--E(master)
it is sometimes handy to make your head detached at that commit
with:
$ git checkout HEAD~3 ;# check out B
$ git commit --amend ;# without modifying contents...
to create:
.B'(HEAD)
/
A--B--C--D--E(master)
and then rebase 'master' branch onto HEAD with this:
$ git rebase HEAD master
to result in:
.B'-C'-D'-E(master=HEAD)
/
A--B--C--D--E
However, the current code interprets HEAD after it switches to
the branch 'master', which means the rebase will not do
anything. You have to say something unwieldly like this
instead:
$ git rebase $(git rev-parse HEAD) master
This fixes it by expanding the $onto commit name before
switching to the target branch.
