The 'todo' sheet for interactive rebase shows abbreviated SHA-1's and
then performs its operations upon those shortened values. This can lead
to an abort if the SHA-1 of a reworded or edited commit is no longer
unique within the abbreviated SHA-1 space and a subsequent SHA-1 in the
todo list has the same abbreviated value.
For example:
edit f00dfad first
pick badbeef second
If, after editing, the new SHA-1 of "first" also has prefix badbeef,
then the subsequent 'pick badbeef second' will fail since badbeef is no
longer a unique SHA-1 abbreviation:
error: short SHA1 badbeef is ambiguous.
fatal: Needed a single revision
Invalid commit name: badbeef
Fix this problem by expanding the SHA-1's in the todo list before
performing the operations.

In rebase -i --autosquash, ignore all "fixup! " or "squash! " after the
first. This supports the case when a git commit --fixup/--squash referred
to an earlier fixup/squash instead of the original commit (whether
intentionally, as when the user expressly meant to note that the commit
fixes an earlier fixup; or inadvertently, as when the user meant to refer to
the original commit with :/msg; or out of laziness, as when the user could
remember how to refer to the fixup but not the original).
In the todo list, the full commit message is preserved, in case it provides
useful cues to the user. A test helper set_cat_todo_editor is introduced to
check this.

Now that the "checkout" invoked internally from "rebase -i" knows to
honor GIT_REFLOG_ACTION, we can start to use it to write a better
reflog message when "rebase anotherbranch", "rebase --onto branch",
etc. internally checks out the new fork point. We will write:
rebase -i: checkout master
instead of the old
rebase -i
As all the calls git-rebase--interactive make to underlying git
commands that leave reflog messages are preceded by the internal
comment_for_reflog helper function, which uses the original value of
the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION variable it saw when it first started, the new
assignments to GIT_REFLOG_ACTION actively contaminate the value of
the variable, knowing that it will be reset to a sane value before
it is used again. This does not generally hold true but it should

When a rebase stops (e.g. interrupted by a merge conflict), it could
be useful to know how far a rebase has progressed and how many
commits in total this rebase will apply. Teach the __git_ps1()
command to display the number of commits so far applied and the
total number of commits to be applied, like this:
((3ec0a6a...)|REBASE 2/5)
In the example above the rebase has stopped at the second commit due to
a merge conflict and there are a total number of five commits to be
applied by this rebase.
This information can be already obtained from the following files which are
being generated during the rebase:
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/msgnum (git-rebase--merge.sh)
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/end (git-rebase--merge.sh)
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-apply/next (git-am.sh)
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-apply/last (git-am.sh)
but "rebase -i" does not leave necessary clues.
Implement this feature by doing these three things:
1) Modify git-rebase--interactive.sh to also create
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/msgnum
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/end
files for the number of commits so far applied and the total
number of commits to be applied.
2) Modify git-prompt.sh to read and display info from the above
files.

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.

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.

The GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable and/or the sequence.editor

After an "exec false" stops the rebase and gives the control back to

at the real problem:

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:

\
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

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

for both interactive and non-interactive rebases, move anything that
is specific to non-interactive rebase outside of the parsing
loop. Keep only parsing and validation of command line options in the
loop.

The hints in the current "instruction sheet" template look like so:
# Rebase 3f14246..a1d7e01 onto 3f14246
#
# 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.
Wording from Junio.
