2018-06-27git-rebase.txt: document behavioral differences between modesElijah Newren
There are a variety of aspects that are common to all rebases regardless of which backend is in use; however, the behavior for these different aspects varies in ways that could surprise users. (In fact, it's not clear -- to me at least -- that these differences were even desirable or intentional.) Document these differences.

2018-06-27git-rebase.txt: address confusion between --no-ff vs --force-rebaseElijah Newren
rebase was taught the --force-rebase option in commit b2f82e05de ("Teach rebase to rebase even if upstream is up to date", 2009-02-13). This flag worked for the am and merge backends, but wasn't a valid option for the interactive backend. rebase was taught the --no-ff option for interactive rebases in commit b499549401cb ("Teach rebase the --no-ff option.", 2010-03-24), to do the exact same thing as --force-rebase does for non-interactive rebases. This commit explicitly documented the fact that --force-rebase was incompatible with --interactive, though it made --no-ff a synonym for --force-rebase for non-interactive rebases. The choice of a new option was based on the fact that "force rebase" didn't sound like an appropriate term for the interactive machinery. In commit 6bb4e485cff8 ("rebase: align variable names", 2011-02-06), the separate parsing of command line options in the different rebase scripts was removed, and whether on accident or because the author noticed that these options did the same thing, the options became synonyms and both were accepted by all three rebase types. In commit 2d26d533a012 ("Documentation/git-rebase.txt: -f forces a rebase that would otherwise be a no-op", 2014-08-12), which reworded the description of the --force-rebase option, the (no-longer correct) sentence stating that --force-rebase was incompatible with --interactive was finally removed. Finally, as explained at https://public-inbox.org/git/98279912-0f52-969d-44a6-22242039387f@xiplink.com In the original discussion around this option [1], at one point I proposed teaching rebase--interactive to respect --force-rebase instead of adding a new option [2]. Ultimately --no-ff was chosen as the better user interface design [3], because an interactive rebase can't be "forced" to run. We have accepted both --no-ff and --force-rebase as full synonyms for all three rebase types for over seven years. Documenting them differently and in ways that suggest they might not be quite synonyms simply leads to confusion. Adjust the documentation to match reality.

2018-06-27git-rebase: error out when incompatible options passedElijah Newren
git rebase has three different types: am, merge, and interactive, all of which are implemented in terms of separate scripts. am builds on git-am, merge builds on git-merge-recursive, and interactive builds on git-cherry-pick. We make use of features in those lower-level commands in the different rebase types, but those features don't exist in all of the lower level commands so we have a range of incompatibilities. Previously, we just accepted nearly any argument and silently ignored whichever ones weren't implemented for the type of rebase specified. Change this so the incompatibilities are documented, included in the testsuite, and tested for at runtime with an appropriate error message shown. Some exceptions I left out: * --merge and --interactive are technically incompatible since they are supposed to run different underlying scripts, but with a few small changes, --interactive can do everything that --merge can. In fact, I'll shortly be sending another patch to remove git-rebase--merge and reimplement it on top of git-rebase--interactive. * One could argue that --interactive and --quiet are incompatible since --interactive doesn't implement a --quiet mode (perhaps since cherry-pick itself does not implement one). However, the interactive mode is more quiet than the other modes in general with progress messages, so one could argue that it's already quiet.

2018-06-27t3422: new testcases for checking when incompatible options passedElijah Newren
git rebase is split into three types: am, merge, and interactive. Various options imply different types, and which mode we are using determine which sub-script (git-rebase--$type) is executed to finish the work. Not all options work with all types, so add tests for combinations where we expect to receive an error rather than having options be silently ignored.

2018-06-18ewah: adjust callers of ewah_read_mmap()Jeff King
The return value of ewah_read_mmap() is now an ssize_t, since we could (in theory) process up to 32GB of data. This would never happen in practice, but a corrupt or malicious .bitmap or index file could convince us to do so. Let's make sure that we don't stuff the value into an int, which would cause us to incorrectly move our pointer forward. We'd always move too little, since negative values are used for reporting errors. So the worst case is just that we end up reporting a corrupt file, not an out-of-bounds read.

2018-06-18ewah_read_mmap: bounds-check mmap readsJeff King
The on-disk ewah format tells us how big the ewah data is, and we blindly read that much from the buffer without considering whether the mmap'd data is long enough, which can lead to out-of-bound reads. Let's make sure we have data available before reading it, both for the ewah header/footer as well as for the bit data itself. In particular: - keep our ptr/len pair in sync as we move through the buffer, and check it before each read - check the size for integer overflow (this should be impossible on 64-bit, as the size is given as a 32-bit count of 8-byte words, but is possible on a 32-bit system) - return the number of bytes read as an ssize_t instead of an int, again to prevent integer overflow - compute the return value using a pointer difference; this should yield the same result as the existing code, but makes it more obvious that we got our computations right The included test is far from comprehensive, as it just picks a static point at which to truncate the generated bitmap. But in practice this will hit in the middle of an ewah and make sure we're at least exercising this code.

2018-06-18t3200: clarify description of --set-upstream testKaartic Sivaraam
Support for the --set-upstream option was removed in 52668846ea (builtin/branch: stop supporting the "--set-upstream" option, 2017-08-17). The change did not completely remove the command due to an issue noted in the commit's log message. So, a test was added to ensure that a command which uses the '--set-upstream' option fails instead of silently acting as an alias for the '--set-upstream-to' option due to option parsing features. To avoid confusion, clarify that the option is disabled intentionally in the corresponding test description. The test is expected to be around as long as we intentionally fail on seeing the '--set-upstream' option which in turn we expect to do for a period of time after which we can be sure that existing users of '--set-upstream' are aware that the option is no longer supported.
