A rebase started with 'git rebase <A> <B>' is conceptually to first
checkout <B> and run 'git rebase <A>' starting from that state. 'git
rebase --abort' in the middle of such a rebase should take us back to
the state we checked out <B>.
This used to work, even when <B> is a tag that points at a commit,
until Git 2.20.0 when the command was reimplemented in C. The command
now complains that the tag object itself cannot be checked out, which
may be technically correct but is not what the user asked to do.
Fix this old regression by using lookup_commit_reference_by_name()
when parsing <B>. The scripted version did not need to peel the tag
because the commands it passed the tag to (e.g 'git reset') peeled the
tag themselves.

Git uses −1 to signal an error. The builtin rebase converts these to
+1 all over the place using !! (presumably because the in the scripted
version an error was signalled by +1). This is confusing and clutters
the code, we only need to convert the value when the function returns.

Before spawning the auto maintenance, we need to make sure that we
release all open file handles to all the `.pack` files (and MIDX files
and commit-graph files and...) so that the maintenance process has the
freedom to delete those files.
So far, we did this manually every time before calling
`run_auto_maintenance()`. With the new `close_object_store` flag, we can
do that implicitly in that function, which is more robust because future
callers won't be able to forget to close the object store.
Note: this changes behavior slightly, as we previously _always_ closed
the object store, but now we only close the object store when actually
running the auto maintenance. In practice, this should not matter (if
anything, it might speed up operations where auto maintenance is
disabled).

There are a few reasons to switch the default:
* Correctness
* Extensibility
* Performance
I'll provide some summaries about each.
=== Correctness ===
The original impetus for a new merge backend was to fix issues that were
difficult to fix within recursive's design. The success with this goal
is perhaps most easily demonstrated by running the following:
$ git grep -2 KNOWN_FAILURE t/ | grep -A 4 GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM
$ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.failure.success t/
$ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.success.failure t/
In order, these greps show:
* Seven sets of submodule tests (10 total tests) that fail with
recursive but succeed with ort
* 22 other tests that fail with recursive, but succeed with ort
* 0 tests that pass with recursive, but fail with ort
=== Extensibility ===
Being able to perform merges without touching the working tree or index
makes it possible to create new features that were difficult with the
old backend:
* Merging, cherry-picking, rebasing, reverting in bare repositories...
or just on branches that aren't checked out.
* `git diff AUTO_MERGE` -- ability to see what changes the user has
made to resolve conflicts so far (see commit 5291828df8 ("merge-ort:
write $GIT_DIR/AUTO_MERGE whenever we hit a conflict", 2021-03-20)
* A --remerge-diff option for log/show, used to show diffs for merges
that display the difference between what an automatic merge would
have created and what was recorded in the merge. (This option will
often result in an empty diff because many merges are clean, but for
the non-clean ones it will show how conflicts were fixed including
the removal of conflict markers, and also show additional changes
made outside of conflict regions to e.g. fix semantic conflicts.)
* A --remerge-diff-only option for log/show, similar to --remerge-diff
but also showing how cherry-picks or reverts differed from what an
automatic cherry-pick or revert would provide.
The last three have been implemented already (though only one has been
submitted upstream so far; the others were waiting for performance work
to complete), and I still plan to implement the first one.
=== Performance ===
I'll quote from the summary of my final optimization for merge-ort
(while fixing the testcase name from 'no-renames' to 'few-renames'):

- cmd_rebase populates rebase_options.strategy with newly allocated
strings, hence we need to free those strings at the end of cmd_rebase
to avoid a leak.
- In some cases: get_replay_opts() is called, which prepares replay_opts
using data from rebase_options. We used to simply copy the pointer
from rebase_options.strategy, however that would now result in a
double-free because sequencer_remove_state() is eventually used to
free replay_opts.strategy. To avoid this we xstrdup() strategy when
adding it to replay_opts.
The original leak happens because we always populate
rebase_options.strategy, but we don't always enter the path that calls
get_replay_opts() and later sequencer_remove_state() - in other words
we'd always allocate a new string into rebase_options.strategy but
only sometimes did we free it. We now make sure that rebase_options
and replay_opts both own their own copies of strategy, and each copy
is free'd independently.
This was first seen when running t0021 with LSAN, but t2012 helped catch
the fact that we can't just free(options.strategy) at the end of
cmd_rebase (as that can cause a double-free). LSAN output from t0021:

object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.
Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.

There are a variety of questions users might ask while resolving
conflicts:
* What changes have been made since the previous (first) parent?
* What changes are staged?
* What is still unstaged? (or what is still conflicted?)
* What changes did I make to resolve conflicts so far?
The first three of these have simple answers:
* git diff HEAD
* git diff --cached
* git diff
There was no way to answer the final question previously. Adding one
is trivial in merge-ort, since it works by creating a tree representing
what should be written to the working copy complete with conflict
markers. Simply write that tree to .git/AUTO_MERGE, allowing users to
answer the fourth question with
* git diff AUTO_MERGE
I avoided using a name like "MERGE_AUTO", because that would be
merge-specific (much like MERGE_HEAD, REBASE_HEAD, REVERT_HEAD,
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD) and I wanted a name that didn't change depending on
which type of operation the merge was part of.
Ensure that paths which clean out other temporary operation-specific
files (e.g. CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, MERGE_MSG, rebase-merge/ state directory)
also clean out this AUTO_MERGE file.

After rebasing, ORIG_HEAD is supposed to point to the old HEAD of the
rebased branch. The code used find_unique_abbrev() to obtain the
object name of the old HEAD and wrote to both
.git/rebase-merge/orig-head (used by `rebase --abort` to go back to
the previous state) and to ORIG_HEAD. The buffer find_unique_abbrev()
gives back is volatile, unfortunately, and was overwritten after the
former file is written but before ORIG_FILE is written, leaving an
incorrect object name in it.
Avoid relying on the volatile buffer of find_unique_abbrev(), and
instead supply our own buffer to keep the object name.
I think that all of the users of head_hash should actually be using
opts->orig_head instead as passing a string rather than a struct
object_id around is a hang over from the scripted implementation. This
patch just fixes the immediate bug and adds a regression test based on
Caspar's reproduction example[1]. The users will be converted to use
struct object_id and head_hash removed in the next few commits.

Allow the testsuite to run where it treats requests for "recursive" or
the default merge algorithm via consulting the environment variable
GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM which is expected to either be "recursive" (the
old traditional algorithm) or "ort" (the new algorithm).
Also, allow folks to pick the new algorithm via config setting. It
turns out builtin/merge.c already had a way to allow users to specify a
different default merge algorithm: pull.twohead. Rather odd
configuration name (especially to be in the 'pull' namespace rather than
'merge') but it's there. Add that same configuration to rebase,
cherry-pick, and revert.
This required updating the various callsites that called merge_trees()
or merge_recursive() to conditionally call the new API, so this serves
as another demonstration of what the new API looks and feels like.
There are almost certainly some callsites that have not yet been
modified to work with the new merge algorithm, but this represents the
ones that I have been testing with thus far.

Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.
Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.
First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation. So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.
The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425 (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line". Commit 6f855371a5 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match. Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.
Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon. Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.
Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message". As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.
However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like:
argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument",
"another argument", "and more",
NULL);
was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in
mis-matched indentation like:
strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument",
"another argument", "and more",
NULL);
Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did
this manually by sifting through the results of:
git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$'
and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are
of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had
originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of
aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious
cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit
on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or
more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it
wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,

Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).
This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a
manageable size.
The conversion was done purely mechanically with:
git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
xargs perl -i -pe '

In a03b55530a (merge: teach --autostash option, 2020-04-07), the
--autostash option was introduced for `git merge`. Notably, when
`git merge --quit` is run with an autostash entry present, it is saved
into the stash reflog. This is contrasted with the current behaviour of
`git rebase --quit` where the autostash entry is simply just dropped out
of existence.
Adopt the behaviour of `git merge --quit` in `git rebase --quit` and
save the autostash entry into the stash reflog instead of just deleting
it.

In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a
plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and
OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct
definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to
developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy
happening.
Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or
OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the
following (disgusting) shell script:
#!/bin/sh
do_replacement () {
tr '\n' '\r' |
sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' |
sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK_F(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6,\7)/g' |
tr '\r' '\n'
}
for f in $(git ls-files \*.c)
do
do_replacement <"$f" >"$f.tmp"
mv "$f.tmp" "$f"
done
The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the
style of the surrounding code. Finally, using
`git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled
by the script were manually transformed.

--root implies we want to rebase all commits since the beginning of
history. --fork-point means we want to use the reflog of the specified
upstream to find the best common ancestor between <upstream> and
<branch> and only rebase commits since that common ancestor. These
options are clearly contradictory, so throw an error (instead of
segfaulting on a NULL pointer) if both are specified.

When rebasing against an upstream that has had many commits since the
original branch was created:
O -- O -- ... -- O -- O (upstream)
\
-- O (my-dev-branch)
it must read the contents of every novel upstream commit, in addition to
the tip of the upstream and the merge base, because "git rebase"
attempts to exclude commits that are duplicates of upstream ones. This
can be a significant performance hit, especially in a partial clone,
wherein a read of an object may end up being a fetch.
Add a flag to "git rebase" to allow suppression of this feature. This
flag only works when using the "merge" backend.
This flag changes the behavior of sequencer_make_script(), called from
do_interactive_rebase() <- run_rebase_interactive() <-
run_specific_rebase() <- cmd_rebase(). With this flag, limit_list()
(indirectly called from sequencer_make_script() through
prepare_revision_walk()) will no longer call cherry_pick_list(), and
thus PATCHSAME is no longer set. Refraining from setting PATCHSAME both
means that the intermediate commits in upstream are no longer read (as
shown by the test) and means that no PATCHSAME-caused skipping of
commits is done by sequencer_make_script(), either directly or through
make_script_with_merges().

When the user specifies the apply backend with options that only work
with the merge backend, such as
git rebase --apply --exec /bin/true HEAD~3
the error message has always been
fatal: --exec requires an interactive rebase
This error message is misleading and was one of the reasons we renamed
the interactive backend to the merge backend. Update the error message
to state that these options merely require use of the merge backend.

Commit d48e5e21da ("rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the
default", 2020-02-15) turned --keep-empty (for keeping commits which
start empty) into the default. The logic underpinning that commit was:
1) 'git commit' errors out on the creation of empty commits without an
override flag
2) Once someone determines that the override is worthwhile, it's
annoying and/or harmful to required them to take extra steps in
order to keep such commits around (and to repeat such steps with
every rebase).
While the logic on which the decision was made is sound, the result was
a bit of an overcorrection. Instead of jumping to having --keep-empty
being the default, it jumped to making --keep-empty the only available
behavior. There was a simple workaround, though, which was thought to
be good enough at the time. People could still drop commits which
started empty the same way the could drop any commits: by firing up an
interactive rebase and picking out the commits they didn't want from the
list. However, there are cases where external tools might create enough
empty commits that picking all of them out is painful. As such, having
a flag to automatically remove start-empty commits may be beneficial.
Provide users a way to drop commits which start empty using a flag that
existed for years: --no-keep-empty. Interpret --keep-empty as
countermanding any previous --no-keep-empty, but otherwise leaving
--keep-empty as the default.
This might lead to some slight weirdness since commands like
git rebase --empty=drop --keep-empty
git rebase --empty=keep --no-keep-empty
look really weird despite making perfect sense (the first will drop
commits which become empty, but keep commits that started empty; the
second will keep commits which become empty, but drop commits which
started empty). However, --no-keep-empty was named years ago and we are
predominantly keeping it for backward compatibility; also we suspect it
will only be used rarely since folks already have a simple way to drop
commits they don't want with an interactive rebase.

In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree
to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This
option is missing in merge, however.
Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash`
option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after.
This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic
branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch.
Previously, they had to run something like
git fetch ...
git stash push
git merge FETCH_HEAD
git stash pop
but now, that is reduced to
git fetch ...
git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD
When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the
worktree only in three explicit situations:
1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`.
2. A merge completes successfully.
3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`.
In all other situations where the merge state is removed using
remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via
`git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog
instead keeping the worktree clean.

`struct repository` argument instead of implicitly using the non-repo
functions and `the_repository`. Also, make it accept a `path` argument
so that we no longer rely have to rely on `struct rebase_options`.
Finally, make it accept a `default_reflog_action` argument so we no

The apply_autostash() function in builtin/rebase.c is similar enough to
the apply_autostash() function in sequencer.c that they are almost
interchangeable, except for the type of arg they accept. Make the
sequencer.c version extern and use it in rebase.
The rebase version was introduced in 6defce2b02 (builtin rebase: support
`--autostash` option, 2018-09-04) as part of the shell to C conversion.
It opted to duplicate the function because, at the time, there was
another in-progress project converting interactive rebase from shell to
C as well and they did not want to clash with them by refactoring
sequencer.c version of apply_autostash(). Since both efforts are long
done, we can freely combine them together now.

of read_oneliner(), reduce code duplication by replacing read_one() with
read_oneliner().
This was done with the following Coccinelle script

- read_one(a, b)
+ !read_oneliner(b, a, READ_ONELINER_WARN_MISSING)
and long lines were manually broken up.
