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.

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:
Before this patch:
$ time git rebase -m --onto v4.18 463fa44eec2fef50~ 463fa44eec2fef50

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.
In the next commit, we will change the advice messages hence finishing

As the checkout runs in a separate process our index will be out of date
so it should be discarded. The existing callers are not doing this
consistently so do it here to avoid the callers having to worry about
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
blobs when calculating patch-id's ended up reading the contents for
master from the working tree which actually contained topic.

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
resetting the final pick in a sequence.

While 'quiet' and 'interactive' may sound like antonyms, the interactive
machinery actually has logic that implements several
interactive_rebase=implied cases (--exec, --keep-empty, --rebase-merges)
which won't pop up an editor. The rewrite of interactive rebase in C
added a quiet option, though it only turns stats off. Since we want to
make the interactive machinery also take over for git-rebase--merge, it
should fully implement the --quiet option.
git-rebase--interactive was already somewhat quieter than
git-rebase--merge and git-rebase--am, possibly because cherry-pick has
just traditionally been quieter. As such, we only drop a few
informational messages -- "Rebasing (n/m)" and "Successfully rebased..."
Also, for simplicity, remove the differences in how quiet and verbose
options were recorded. Having one be signalled by the presence of a
"verbose" file in the state_dir, while the other was signalled by the
contents of a "quiet" file was just weirdly inconsistent. (This
inconsistency pre-dated the rewrite into C.) Make them consistent by
having them both key off the presence of the file.

as well in the functions that now take 'struct repository
*'. the_repository is still present in this file, but total clean up
will be done later. It's not the main focus of this patch.

Add read_author_script() to sequencer.c based on the implementation in
builtin/am.c and update read_am_author_script() to use
read_author_script(). The sequencer code that reads the author script
will be updated in the next commit.

This rewrites write_basic_state() from git-rebase.sh in C. This is the
first step in the conversion of init_basic_state(), hence the mode in
rebase--helper.c is called INIT_BASIC_STATE. init_basic_state() will be
converted in the next commit.
The part of read_strategy_opts() that parses the stategy options is
moved to a new function to allow its use in rebase--helper.c.
Finally, the call to write_basic_state() is removed from
git-rebase--interactive.sh, replaced by a call to `--init-basic-state`.

This removes the modes `--skip-unnecessary-picks`, `--append-todo-help`,
and `--checkout-onto` from rebase--helper.c, the functions of
git-rebase--interactive.sh that were rendered useless by the rewrite of
complete_action(), and append_todo_help_to_file() from
rebase-interactive.c.
skip_unnecessary_picks() and checkout_onto() becomes static, as they are
only used inside of the sequencer.

This rewrites complete_action() from shell to C.
A new mode is added to rebase--helper (`--complete-action`), as well as
a new flag (`--autosquash`).
Finally, complete_action() is stripped from git-rebase--interactive.sh.
The original complete_action() would return the code 2 when the todo
list contained no actions. This was a special case for rebase -i and
-p; git-rebase.sh would then apply the autostash, delete the state
directory, and die with the message "Nothing to do". This cleanup is
rewritten in C instead of returning 2. As rebase -i no longer returns
2, the comment describing this behaviour in git-rebase.sh is updated to
reflect this change.
The message "Nothing to do" is now printed with error(), and so becomes
"error: nothing to do". Some tests in t3404 check this value, so they
are updated to fit this change.
The first check might seem useless as we write "noop" to the todo list
if it is empty. Actually, the todo list might contain commented
commands (ie. empty commits). In this case, complete_action() won’t
write "noop", and will abort without starting the editor.

The append_signoff() function takes an "int" to specify the
number of bytes to ignore. Most callers just pass 0, and the
remainder use ignore_non_trailer() to skip over cruft.
That function also returns an int, and uses them internally.
On systems where size_t is larger than an int (i.e., most
64-bit systems), dealing with a ridiculously large commit
message could end up overflowing an int, producing
surprising results (e.g., returning a negative offset, which
would cause us to look outside the original string).
Let's consistently use size_t for these offsets through this
whole stack. As a bonus, this makes the meaning of
"ignore_footer" as an offset (and not a boolean) more clear.
But while we're here, let's also document the interface.

I looped over the toplevel header files, creating a temporary two-line C
program for each consisting of
#include "git-compat-util.h"
#include $HEADER
This patch is the result of manually fixing errors in compiling those
tiny programs.

Instead of skip_unnecessary_picks() printing its result to stdout, it
returns it into a struct object_id, as the rewrite of complete_action()
(to come in the next commit) will need it.

This rewrites (the misnamed) setup_reflog_action() from shell to C. The
new version is called prepare_branch_to_be_rebased().
A new command is added to rebase--helper.c, “checkout-base”, as well as
a new flag, “verbose”, to avoid silencing the output of the checkout
operation called by checkout_base_commit().
The function `run_git_checkout()` will also be used in the next commit,
therefore its code is not part of `checkout_base_commit()`.
The shell version is then stripped in favour of a call to the helper.
As $GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is no longer set at the first call of
checkout_onto(), a call to comment_for_reflog() is added at the
beginning of this function.

This makes rebase_path_todo(), get_missing_commit_check_level(),
write_message() and the enum check_level accessible outside sequencer.c,
renames check_level to missing_commit_check_level, and prefixes its
value names by MISSING_COMMIT_ to avoid namespace pollution.
This function and this enum will eventually be moved to
rebase-interactive.c and become static again, so no special attention
was given to the naming.
This will be needed for the rewrite of append_todo_help() from shell to
C, as it will be in a new library source file, rebase-interactive.c.

When an interactive rebase wants to recreate a root commit, it
- first creates a new, empty root commit,
- checks it out,
- converts the next `pick` command so that it amends the empty root
commit
Introduce support in the sequencer to handle such an empty root commit,
by looking for the file <GIT_DIR>/rebase-merge/squash-onto; if it exists
and contains a commit name, the sequencer will compare the HEAD to said
root commit, and if identical, a new root commit will be created.
While converting scripted code into proper, portable C, we also do away
with the old "amend with an empty commit message, then cherry-pick
without committing, then amend again" dance and replace it with code
that uses the internal API properly to do exactly what we want: create a
new root commit.
To keep the implementation simple, we always spawn `git commit` to create
new root commits.
