2020-03-02Merge branch 'en/rebase-backend'Junio C Hamano
"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"). The rebase.backend configuration variable can be set to customize. * en/rebase-backend: rebase: rename the two primary rebase backends rebase: change the default backend from "am" to "merge" rebase: make the backend configurable via config setting rebase tests: repeat some tests using the merge backend instead of am rebase tests: mark tests specific to the am-backend with --am rebase: drop '-i' from the reflog for interactive-based rebases git-prompt: change the prompt for interactive-based rebases rebase: add an --am option rebase: move incompatibility checks between backend options a bit earlier git-rebase.txt: add more details about behavioral differences of backends rebase: allow more types of rebases to fast-forward t3432: make these tests work with either am or merge backends rebase: fix handling of restrict_revision rebase: make sure to pass along the quiet flag to the sequencer rebase, sequencer: remove the broken GIT_QUIET handling t3406: simplify an already simple test rebase (interactive-backend): fix handling of commits that become empty rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the default t3404: directly test the behavior of interest git-rebase.txt: update description of --allow-empty-message
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.

2020-01-28rebase-interactive: warn if commit is dropped with `rebase --edit-todo'Alban Gruin
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.

2020-01-28sequencer: move check_todo_list_from_file() to rebase-interactive.cAlban Gruin
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.

2019-03-07rebase-interactive: rewrite edit_todo_list() to handle the initial editAlban Gruin
edit_todo_list() is changed to work on a todo_list, and to handle the initial edition of the todo list (ie. making a backup of the todo list). It does not check for dropped commits yet, as todo_list_check() does not take the commits that have already been processed by the rebase (ie. the todo list is edited in the middle of a rebase session).

2019-03-07rebase-interactive: append_todo_help() changesAlban Gruin
This moves the writing of the comment "Rebase $shortrevisions onto $shortonto ($command_count commands)" from todo_list_write_to_file() to append_todo_help(). shortrevisions, shortonto, and command_count are passed as parameters to append_todo_help(). During the initial edit of the todo list, shortrevisions and shortonto are not NULL. Therefore, if shortrevisions or shortonto is NULL, then edit_todo would be true, otherwise it would be false. Thus, edit_todo is removed from the parameters of append_todo_help(). Signed-off-by: Alban Gruin <alban.gruin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-01-29sequencer: refactor check_todo_list() to work on a todo_listAlban Gruin
This refactors check_todo_list() to work on a todo_list to avoid redundant reads and writes to the disk. The function is renamed todo_list_check(). The parsing of the two todo lists is left to the caller. As rebase -p still need to check the todo list from the disk, a new function is introduced, check_todo_list_from_file(). It reads the file from the disk, parses it, pass the todo_list to todo_list_check(), and writes it back to the disk. As get_missing_commit_check_level() and the enum missing_commit_check_level are no longer needed inside of sequencer.c, they are moved to rebase-interactive.c, and made static again.

2018-08-29rebase -i: remove unused modes and functionsAlban Gruin
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.

2018-08-10sequencer: refactor append_todo_help() to write its message to a bufferAlban Gruin
This refactors append_todo_help() to write its message to a buffer instead of the todo-list. This is needed for the rewrite of complete_action(), which will come after the next commit. As rebase--helper still needs the file manipulation part of append_todo_help(), it is extracted to a temporary function, append_todo_help_to_file(). This function will go away after the rewrite of complete_action(). Signed-off-by: Alban Gruin <alban.gruin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-10rebase -i: rewrite the edit-todo functionality in CAlban Gruin
This rewrites the edit-todo functionality from shell to C. To achieve that, a new command mode, `edit-todo`, is added, and the `write-edit-todo` flag is removed, as the shell script does not need to write the edit todo help message to the todo list anymore. The shell version is then stripped in favour of a call to the helper. Signed-off-by: Alban Gruin <alban.gruin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-10rebase -i: rewrite append_todo_help() in CAlban Gruin
This rewrites append_todo_help() from shell to C. It also incorporates some parts of initiate_action() and complete_action() that also write help texts to the todo file. This also introduces the source file rebase-interactive.c. This file will contain functions necessary for interactive rebase that are too specific for the sequencer, and is part of libgit.a. Two flags are added to rebase--helper.c: one to call append_todo_help() (`--append-todo-help`), and another one to tell append_todo_help() to write the help text suited for the edit-todo mode (`--write-edit-todo`). Finally, append_todo_help() is removed from git-rebase--interactive.sh to use `rebase--helper --append-todo-help` instead.
