2020-04-11rebase --merge: optionally skip upstreamed commitsJonathan Tan
When rebasing against an upstream that has had many commits since the original branch was created: O -- O -- ... -- O -- O (upstream) \ -- O (my-dev-branch) it must read the contents of every novel upstream commit, in addition to the tip of the upstream and the merge base, because "git rebase" attempts to exclude commits that are duplicates of upstream ones. This can be a significant performance hit, especially in a partial clone, wherein a read of an object may end up being a fetch. Add a flag to "git rebase" to allow suppression of this feature. This flag only works when using the "merge" backend. This flag changes the behavior of sequencer_make_script(), called from do_interactive_rebase() <- run_rebase_interactive() <- run_specific_rebase() <- cmd_rebase(). With this flag, limit_list() (indirectly called from sequencer_make_script() through prepare_revision_walk()) will no longer call cherry_pick_list(), and thus PATCHSAME is no longer set. Refraining from setting PATCHSAME both means that the intermediate commits in upstream are no longer read (as shown by the test) and means that no PATCHSAME-caused skipping of commits is done by sequencer_make_script(), either directly or through make_script_with_merges().

2020-04-11rebase: reinstate --no-keep-emptyElijah Newren
Commit d48e5e21da ("rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the default", 2020-02-15) turned --keep-empty (for keeping commits which start empty) into the default. The logic underpinning that commit was: 1) 'git commit' errors out on the creation of empty commits without an override flag 2) Once someone determines that the override is worthwhile, it's annoying and/or harmful to required them to take extra steps in order to keep such commits around (and to repeat such steps with every rebase). While the logic on which the decision was made is sound, the result was a bit of an overcorrection. Instead of jumping to having --keep-empty being the default, it jumped to making --keep-empty the only available behavior. There was a simple workaround, though, which was thought to be good enough at the time. People could still drop commits which started empty the same way the could drop any commits: by firing up an interactive rebase and picking out the commits they didn't want from the list. However, there are cases where external tools might create enough empty commits that picking all of them out is painful. As such, having a flag to automatically remove start-empty commits may be beneficial. Provide users a way to drop commits which start empty using a flag that existed for years: --no-keep-empty. Interpret --keep-empty as countermanding any previous --no-keep-empty, but otherwise leaving --keep-empty as the default. This might lead to some slight weirdness since commands like git rebase --empty=drop --keep-empty git rebase --empty=keep --no-keep-empty look really weird despite making perfect sense (the first will drop commits which become empty, but keep commits that started empty; the second will keep commits which become empty, but drop commits which started empty). However, --no-keep-empty was named years ago and we are predominantly keeping it for backward compatibility; also we suspect it will only be used rarely since folks already have a simple way to drop commits they don't want with an interactive rebase.

2020-04-10sequencer: implement apply_autostash_oid()Denton Liu

2020-04-10sequencer: implement save_autostash()Denton Liu
Extract common functionality of apply_autostash() into apply_save_autostash() and use it to implement save_autostash(). This function will be used in a future commit. The difference between save_autostash() and apply_autostash() is that the former does not try to apply the stash. It skips that step and just stores the created entry in the stash reflog. This is useful in the case where we abort an operation when an autostash is present but we don't want to dirty the worktree with the application of the stash. For example, in a future commit, we will implement `git merge --autostash`. Since merges can be aborted using `git reset --hard`, we'd make use of save_autostash() to save the autostash entry instead of applying it to the worktree thus keeping the worktree undirtied.

The rebase version was introduced in 6defce2b02 (builtin rebase: support `--autostash` option, 2018-09-04) as part of the shell to C conversion. It opted to duplicate the function because, at the time, there was another in-progress project converting interactive rebase from shell to C as well and they did not want to clash with them by refactoring sequencer.c version of apply_autostash().

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.

2020-01-28rebase-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.

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>

2019-07-02cherry-pick/revert: add --skip optionRohit Ashiwal
git am or rebase have a --skip flag to skip the current commit if the user wishes to do so. During a cherry-pick or revert a user could likewise skip a commit, but needs to use 'git reset' (or in the case of conflicts 'git reset --merge'), followed by 'git (cherry-pick | revert) --continue' to skip the commit. This is more annoying and sometimes confusing on the users' part. Add a `--skip` option to make skipping commits easier for the user and to make the commands more consistent. In the next commit, we will change the advice messages hence finishing the process of teaching revert and cherry-pick "how to skip commits".

2019-04-19rebase -i: use struct commit when parsing optionsPhillip Wood
This is in preparation for using `struct rebase_options` when parsing options in cmd_rebase__interactive(). Using a string for onto, restrict_revision and upstream, was a hangover from the scripted version of rebase. The functions that use these variables are updated to take a `struct commit`.

2019-04-19sequencer: always discard index after checkoutPhillip Wood
As the checkout runs in a separate process our index will be out of date so it should be discarded. The existing callers are not doing this consistently so do it here to avoid the callers having to worry about it. This fixes some test failures that happen if do_interactive_rebase() is called without forking rebase--interactive which we will implement shortly. Running git rebase -i master topic starting on master created empty todo lists because all the commits in topic were marked as cherry-picks. After topic was checked out in prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() the working tree contained the contents from topic but the index contained master and the cache entries were still valid. This meant that diff_populate_filespec() which loads the blobs when calculating patch-id's ended up reading the contents for master from the working tree which actually contained topic.

2019-04-17commit/reset: try to clean up sequencer statePhillip Wood
When cherry-picking or reverting a sequence of commits and if the final pick/revert has conflicts and the user uses `git commit` to commit the conflict resolution and does not run `git cherry-pick --continue` then the sequencer state is left behind. This can cause problems later. In my case I cherry-picked a sequence of commits the last one of which I committed with `git commit` after resolving some conflicts, then a while later, on a different branch I aborted a revert which rewound my HEAD to the end of the cherry-pick sequence on the previous branch. Avoid this potential problem by removing the sequencer state if we're committing or resetting the final pick in a sequence.

2019-03-07sequencer: change complete_action() to use the refactored functionsAlban Gruin
complete_action() used functions that read the todo-list file, made some changes to it, and wrote it back to the disk. The previous commits were dedicated to separate the part that deals with the file from the actual logic of these functions. Now that this is done, we can call directly the "logic" functions to avoid useless file access. The parsing of the list has to be done by the caller. If the buffer of the todo list provided by the caller is empty, a `noop' command is directly added to the todo list, without touching the buffer.
