2020-02-16rebase: allow more types of rebases to fast-forwardElijah Newren
In the past, we dis-allowed rebases using the interactive backend from performing a fast-forward to short-circuit the rebase operation. This made sense for explicitly interactive rebases and some implicitly interactive rebases, but certainly became overly stringent when the merge backend was re-implemented via the interactive backend. Just as the am-based rebase has always had to disable the fast-forward based on a variety of conditions or flags (e.g. --signoff, --whitespace, etc.), we need to do the same but now with a few more options. However, continuing to use REBASE_FORCE for tracking this is problematic because the interactive backend used it for a different purpose. (When REBASE_FORCE wasn't set, the interactive backend would not fast-forward the whole series but would fast-forward individual "pick" commits at the beginning of the todo list, and then a squash or something would cause it to start generating new commits.) So, introduce a new allow_preemptive_ff flag contained within cmd_rebase() and use it to track whether we are going to allow a pre-emptive fast-forward that short-circuits the whole rebase.

2020-02-16t3432: make these tests work with either am or merge backendsElijah Newren
t3432 had several stress tests for can_fast_forward(), whose intent was to ensure we were using the optimization of just fast forwarding when possible. However, these tests verified that fast forwards had happened based on the output that rebase printed to the terminal. We can instead test more directly that we actually fast-forwarded by checking the reflog, which also has the side effect of making the tests applicable for the merge/interactive backend. This change does lose the distinction between "noop" and "noop-force", but as stated in commit c9efc216830f ("t3432: test for --no-ff's interaction with fast-forward", 2019-08-27) which introduced that distinction: "These tests aren't supposed to endorse the status quo, just test for what we're currently doing.". This change does not actually run these tests with the merge/interactive backend; instead this is just a preparatory commit. A subsequent commit which fixes can_fast_forward() to work with that backend will then also change t3432 to add tests of that backend as well.

2020-02-16rebase: fix handling of restrict_revisionElijah Newren
restrict_revision in the original shell script was an excluded revision range. It is also treated that way by the am-backend. In the conversion from shell to C (see commit 6ab54d17be3f ("rebase -i: implement the logic to initialize $revisions in C", 2018-08-28)), the interactive-backend accidentally treated it as a positive revision rather than a negated one. This was missed as there were no tests in the testsuite that tested an interactive rebase with fork-point behavior.

2020-02-16rebase, sequencer: remove the broken GIT_QUIET handlingElijah Newren
The GIT_QUIET environment variable was used to signal the non-am backends that the rebase should perform quietly. The preserve-merges backend does not make use of the quiet flag anywhere (other than to write out its state whenever it writes state), and this mechanism was broken in the conversion from shell to C. Since this environment variable was specifically designed for scripts and the only backend that would still use it is no longer a script, just gut this code. A subsequent commit will fix --quiet for the interactive/merge backend in a different way. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-02-16rebase (interactive-backend): fix handling of commits that become emptyElijah Newren
As established in the previous commit and commit b00bf1c9a8dd (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 Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-02-16rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the defaultElijah Newren
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 b00bf1c9a8dd (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 00b8be5a4d38 ("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.

2020-01-10mingw: safeguard better against backslashes in file namesJohannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget
In 224c7d70fa1 (mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree entries, 2019-12-31), we relaxed the check for backslashes in tree entries to check only index entries. However, the code change was incorrect: it was added to `add_index_entry_with_check()`, not to `add_index_entry()`, so under certain circumstances it was possible to side-step the protection. Besides, the description of that commit purported that all index entries would be checked when in fact they were only checked when being added to the index (there are code paths that do not do that, constructing "transient" index entries). In any case, it was pointed out in one insightful review at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2437#issuecomment-566771835 that it would be a much better idea to teach `verify_path()` to perform the check for a backslash. This is safer, even if it comes with two notable drawbacks: - `verify_path()` cannot say _what_ is wrong with the path, therefore the user will no longer be told that there was a backslash in the path, only that the path was invalid. - The `git apply` command also calls the `verify_path()` function, and might have been able to handle Windows-style paths (i.e. with backslashes instead of forward slashes). This will no longer be possible unless the user (temporarily) sets `core.protectNTFS=false`. Note that `git add <windows-path>` will _still_ work because `normalize_path_copy_len()` will convert the backslashes to forward slashes before hitting the code path that creates an index entry. The clear advantage is that `verify_path()`'s purpose is to check the validity of the file name, therefore we naturally tap into all the code paths that need safeguarding, also implicitly into future code paths. The benefits of that approach outweigh the downsides, so let's move the check from `add_index_entry_with_check()` to `verify_path()`.

In some cases, horizontal lines in rendered graphs can lose their coloring. This is due to a use of graph_line_addch() instead of graph_line_write_column(). Using a ternary operator to pick the character is nice for compact code, but we actually need a column to provide the color. Add a test to t4215-log-skewed-merges.sh to prevent regression.

2020-01-08graph: drop assert() for merge with two collapsing parentsDerrick Stolee
When "git log --graph" shows a merge commit that has two collapsing lines, like: | | | | * | |_|_|/| |/| | |/ | | |/| | |/| | | * | | * | | | we trigger an assert(): graph.c:1228: graph_output_collapsing_line: Assertion `graph->mapping[i - 3] == target' failed. The assert was introduced by eaf158f8 ("graph API: Use horizontal lines for more compact graphs", 2009-04-21), which is quite old. This assert is trying to say that when we complete a horizontal line with a single slash, it is because we have reached our target. It is actually the _second_ collapsing line that hits this assert. The reason we are in this code path is because we are collapsing the first line, and in that case we are hitting our target now that the horizontal line is complete. However, the second line cannot be a horizontal line, so it will collapse without horizontal lines. In this case, it is inappropriate to assert that we have reached our target, as we need to continue for another column before reaching the target. Dropping the assert is safe here. The new behavior in 0f0f389f12 (graph: tidy up display of left-skewed merges, 2019-10-15) caused the behavior change that made this assertion failure possible. In addition to making the assert possible, it also changed how multiple edges collapse. In a larger example, the current code will output a collapse as follows: | | | | | | * | |_|_|_|_|/|\ |/| | | | |/ / | | | | |/| / | | | |/| |/ | | |/| |/| | |/| |/| | | | |/| | | | | * | | | However, the intended collapse should allow multiple horizontal lines as follows: | | | | | | * | |_|_|_|_|/|\ |/| | | | |/ / | | |_|_|/| / | |/| | | |/ | | | |_|/| | | |/| | | | | * | | | This behavior is not corrected by this change, but is noted for a later update.
