"git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing "--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral equivalent of "format-patch piped to am").

2020-02-16rebase: rename the two primary rebase backendsElijah Newren
Two related changes, with separate rationale for each: Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because: * 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones given that we are making it the default. * 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is. * the directory where state is stored is not called .git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge. Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because: * Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point. * Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems. * Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user tries to explain to another what they are doing. * While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too. * The directory where state is stored has never been called .git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply. For all the reasons listed above: * Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names * Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere (e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation) * Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply * Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new backend names for us as well.

2020-02-16rebase: change the default backend from "am" to "merge"Elijah Newren
The am-backend drops information and thus limits what we can do: * lack of full tree information from the original commits means we cannot do directory rename detection and warn users that they might want to move some of their new files that they placed in old directories to prevent their becoming orphaned.[1] * reduction in context from only having a few lines beyond those changed means that when context lines are non-unique we can apply patches incorrectly.[2] * lack of access to original commits means that conflict marker annotation has less information available. * the am backend has safety problems with an ill-timed interrupt. Also, the merge/interactive backend have far more abilities, appear to currently have a slight performance advantage[3] and have room for more optimizations than the am backend[4] (and work is underway to take advantage of some of those possibilities).

2020-02-16rebase: drop '-i' from the reflog for interactive-based rebasesElijah Newren
A large variety of rebase types are supported by the interactive machinery, not just the explicitly interactive ones. These all share the same code and write the same reflog messages, but the "-i" moniker in those messages doesn't really have much meaning. It also becomes somewhat distracting once we switch the default from the am-backend to the interactive one. Just remove the "-i" from these messages.

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.

2020-02-16rebase: 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.

2020-02-14Merge branch 'ag/rebase-avoid-unneeded-checkout'Junio C Hamano
"git rebase -i" (and friends) used to unnecessarily check out the tip of the branch to be rebased, which has been corrected. * ag/rebase-avoid-unneeded-checkout: rebase -i: stop checking out the tip of the branch to rebase
2020-01-24rebase -i: stop checking out the tip of the branch to rebaseAlban Gruin
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 real 0m8,940s user 0m6,830s sys 0m2,121s After this patch: $ time git rebase -m --onto v4.18 463fa44eec2fef50~ 463fa44eec2fef50 real 0m1,834s user 0m0,916s sys 0m0,206s Reported-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Alban Gruin <alban.gruin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

A common scenario is if a user is working on a topic branch and they wish to make some changes to intermediate commits or autosquash, they would run something such as git rebase -i --onto master... master in order to preserve the merge base. This is useful when contributing a patch series to the Git mailing list, one often starts on top of the current 'master'. While developing the patches, 'master' is also developed further and it is sometimes not the best idea to keep rebasing on top of 'master', but to keep the base commit as-is. In addition to this, a user wishing to test individual commits in a topic branch without changing anything may run git rebase -x ./test.sh master... master Since rebasing onto the merge base of the branch and the upstream is such a common case, introduce the --keep-base option as a shortcut. This allows us to rewrite the above as git rebase -i --keep-base master and git rebase -x ./test.sh --keep-base master respectively. Add tests to ensure --keep-base works correctly in the normal case and fails when there are multiple merge bases, both in regular and interactive mode. Also, test to make sure conflicting options cause rebase to fail. While we're adding test cases, add a missing set_fake_editor call to 'rebase -i --onto master...side'. While we're documenting the --keep-base option, change an instance of "merge-base" to "merge base", which is the consistent spelling.

2019-08-27rebase: fast-forward --fork-point in more casesDenton Liu
Before, when we rebased with a --fork-point invocation where the fork-point wasn't empty, we would be setting options.restrict_revision. The fast-forward logic would automatically declare that the rebase was not fast-forwardable if it was set. However, this was painting with a very broad brush. Refine the logic so that we can fast-forward in the case where the restricted revision is equal to the merge base, since we stop rebasing at the merge base anyway.

2019-08-27rebase: fast-forward --onto in more casesDenton Liu
Before, when we had the following graph, A---B---C (master) \ D (side) running 'git rebase --onto master... master side' would result in D being always rebased, no matter what. However, the desired behavior is that rebase should notice that this is fast-forwardable and do that instead. Add detection to `can_fast_forward` so that this case can be detected and a fast-forward will be performed. First of all, rewrite the function to use gotos which simplifies the logic. Next, since the options.upstream && !oidcmp(&options.upstream->object.oid, &options.onto->object.oid) conditions were removed in `cmd_rebase`, we reintroduce a substitute in `can_fast_forward`. In particular, checking the merge bases of `upstream` and `head` fixes a failing case in t3416. The abbreviated graph for t3416 is as follows: F---G topic / A---B---C---D---E master and the failing command was git rebase --onto master...topic F topic Before, Git would see that there was one merge base (C), and the merge and onto were the same so it would incorrectly return 1, indicating that we could fast-forward. This would cause the rebased graph to be 'ABCFG' when we were expecting 'ABCG'. With the additional logic, we detect that upstream and head's merge base is F. Since onto isn't F, it means we're not rebasing the full set of commits from master..topic. Since we're excluding some commits, a fast-forward cannot be performed and so we correctly return 0. Add '-f' to test cases that failed as a result of this change because they were not expecting a fast-forward so that a rebase is forced.

2019-08-27rebase: refactor can_fast_forward into goto towerDenton Liu

2019-07-31rebase -r: do not (re-)generate root commits with `--root` *and* `--onto`Johannes Schindelin
When rebasing a complete commit history onto a given commit, it is pretty obvious that the root commits should be rebased on top of said given commit. To test this, let's kill two birds with one stone and add a test case to t3427-rebase-subtree.sh that not only demonstrates that this works, but also that `git rebase -r` works with merge strategies now.

2019-07-31rebase -r: support merge strategies other than `recursive`Johannes Schindelin
We already support merge strategies in the sequencer, but only for `pick` commands. With this commit, we now also support them in `merge` commands. The approach is simple: if any merge strategy option is specified, or if any merge strategy other than `recursive` is specified, we simply spawn the `git merge` command. Otherwise, we handle the merge in-process just as before. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-07-31rebase: fold git-rebase--common into the -p backendJohannes Schindelin
The only remaining scripted part of `git rebase` is the `--preserve-merges` backend. Meaning: there is little reason to keep the "library of common rebase functions" as a separate file. While moving the functions to `git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh`, we also drop the `move_to_original_branch` function that is no longer used.

Now that d03ebd411c (rebase: remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting, 2019-03-18) even removed the scripted rebase, there is no longer any user of `git-rebase--am.sh`, so let's just remove it.
