When the todo sheet of interactive rebase instructs to run a non-existing
command, the operation stops with the following error:
Execution failed: no-such
You can fix the problem, and then run
git rebase --continue
fatal: 'rebase' appears to be a git command, but we were not
able to execute it. Maybe git-rebase is broken?
The reason is that the shell that attempted to run the command exits with
code 127. rebase--interactive just forwards this code to the caller (the
git wrapper). But our smart run-command infrastructure detects this
special exit code and turns it into ENOENT, which in turn is interpreted
by the git wrapper as if the external command that it just executed did
not exist. This is finally translated to the misleading last two lines in
error message cited above.
Fix it by translating the error code before it is forwarded.

Allow --root to be specified to rebase -i without --onto, making it
possible to edit and re-order all commits right back to the root(s).
If there is a conflict to be resolved when applying the first change,
the user will expect a sane index and working tree to get sensible
behaviour from git-diff and friends, so create a sentinel commit with an
empty tree to rebase onto. Automatically squash the sentinel with any
commits rebased directly onto it, so they end up as root commits in
their own right and retain their authorship and commit message.
Implicitly use rebase -i for non-interactive rebase of --root without

During an interactive rebase session, it is sometimes desirable to
run tests on each commit in the resulting history. This can be done
by adding "exec <test command>" when editing the insn sheet, but the
command used for testing is often the same for all resulting commits.
By passing "--exec <cmd>" from the command line, automatically add
these "exec" lines after each commit in the final history. To work
well with the --autosquash option, these are added at the end of
each run of "fixup" and "squash".

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.

"commit --amend" could fail in cases like the user empties the commit

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.

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

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

'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

cases. When reading, try to read from orig-head. If that fails, read

#
# Commands:
# p, pick = use commit
# r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
# e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
# 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

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
whitespace layout.

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.
Also, add a test to test for this breakage.
