When rewriting commits on a topic branch, sometimes it is easier to
compare the version of commits before and after the rewrite if they are
based on the same commit that forked from the upstream. An earlier commit
by Junio (fixed up by the previous commit) gives "--onto A...B" syntax to
rebase command, and rebases on top of the merge base between A and B;
teach the same to the interactive version, too.

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.

In a rebase with --onto, the correct test for whether we can skip
rewriting a commit is if it is already on top of $ONTO, not $UPSTREAM.
Without --onto, this distinction does not exist and the behavior does
not change.
In a situation with two merged branches on a common base X:
X---o---o---o---M
\ /
x---x---x---x
Y
if we try to move the branches from their base on X to be based on Y,
so as to get
X
Y---o'--o'--o'--M'
\ /
x'--x'--x'--x'
then we fail. The command `git rebase -p --onto Y X M` moves only the
first-parent chain, like so:
X
\
x---x---x---x
\
Y---o'--o'--o'--M'
because it mistakenly drops the other branch(es) x---x---x---x from
the TODO file. This tests and fixes this behavior.

So avoid passing an empty parameter to "git commit".

Teach git-rebase -i a new option --root, which instructs it to rebase
the entire history leading up to <branch>. This is mainly for
symmetry with ordinary git-rebase; it cannot be used to edit the root
commit in-place (it requires --onto <newbase>). Commits that already
exist in <newbase> are skipped.
In the normal mode of operation, this is fairly straightforward. We
run cherry-pick in a loop, and cherry-pick has supported picking the
root commit since f95ebf7 (Allow cherry-picking root commits,
2008-07-04).
In --preserve-merges mode, we track the mapping from old to rewritten
commits and use it to update the parent list of each commit. In this
case, we define 'rebase -i -p --root --onto $onto $branch' to rewrite
the parent list of all root commit(s) on $branch to contain $onto
instead.

When a merge that has a conflict was rebased, then rebase stopped to let
the user resolve the conflicts. However, thereafter --continue failed
because the author-script was not saved. (This is rebase -i's way to
preserve a commit's authorship.) This fixes it by doing taking the same
failure route after a merge that is also taken after a normal cherry-pick.

Jeff King noticed that this series uses non-portable ${var:0:7} syntax
to splice a string, which is not even in POSIX, in the script. A quick
look at around the offending part revealed a few issues, which this commit
fixes:
* Why filter output from "rev-list --left-right A...B" and look for the
ones that begin with ">"? Wouldn't "rev-list A..B" give that?
* The abbreviated SHA-1 are made with "rev-list --abbrev=7" into $TODO in
an earlier invocation, and it can be more than 7 letters to avoid
ambiguity. Not just that "${r:0:7} is not even in POSIX", but use of
it here is actively wrong.
* There is no point in catting a single file and piping it into grep.

This seems like the best guess we can make until git sequencer marks are

This covers an odd boundary case found by Avi Kivity's script where a branch
coming off of UPSTREAM is merged into HEAD. Initially it show up in
UPSTREAM..HEAD, but technically UPSTREAM is not moving, the rest of head is, so
we should not need to rewrite the merge.
This adds a check saying we can keep `preserve=t` if `p=UPSTREAM`...unless this
is the first first-parent commit in our UPSTREAM..HEAD rev-list, which could
very well point to UPSTREAM, but we still need to consider it as rewritten so we
start pulling in the rest of the UPSTREAM..HEAD commits that point to it.

`rebase -i -p` got its rev-list of commits to keep by --left-right and
--cherry-pick. Adding --cherry-pick would drop commits that duplicated changes
already in the rebase target.
The dropped commits were then forgotten about when it came to rewriting the
parents of their descendents, so the descendents would get cherry-picked with
their old, unwritten parents and essentially make the rebase a no-op.
This commit adds a $DOTEST/dropped directory to remember dropped commits and
rewrite their children's parent as the dropped commit's possibly-rewritten
first-parent.
