Subject: rebase -i: add --ignore-whitespace flag

Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and
'merge' each of which support a different set of options. In
particular the apply backend supports a number of options implemented
by 'git am' that are not implemented in the merge backend. This means
that the available options are different depending on which backend is
used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the
--ignore-whitespace option to the merge backend. This option treats
lines with only whitespace changes as unchanged and is implemented in
the merge backend by translating it to -Xignore-space-change.

Subject: am: stop exporting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE

The implementation of --committer-date-is-author-date exports
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE to override the default committer date but does not
reset GIT_COMMITTER_DATE in the environment after creating the commit
so it is set in the environment of any hooks that get run. We're about
to add the same functionality to the sequencer and do not want to have
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE set when running hooks or exec commands so lets
update commit_tree_extended() to take an explicit committer so we
override the default date without setting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE in the
environment.

Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and
'merge' each of which support a different set of options. In
particular the apply backend supports a number of options implemented
by 'git am' that are not implemented in the merge backend. This means
that the available options are different depending on which backend is
used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the
--committer-date-is-author-date option to the merge backend. This
option uses the author date of the commit that is being rewritten as
the committer date when the new commit is created.

From a3894aad67df655a9c7f3b511093f681d3a01fb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2020 18:40:03 +0100
Subject: rebase -i: support --ignore-date

Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and
'merge' each of which support a different set of options. In
particular the apply backend supports a number of options implemented
by 'git am' that are not implemented in the merge backend. This means
that the available options are different depending on which backend is
used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the --ignore-date
option to the merge backend. This option uses the current time as the
author date rather than reusing the original author date when
rewriting commits. We take care to handle the combination of
--ignore-date and --committer-date-is-author-date in the same way as
the apply backend.

Subject: rebase: add --reset-author-date

The previous commit introduced --ignore-date flag to rebase -i, but the
name is rather vague as it does not say whether the author date or the
committer date is ignored. Add an alias to convey the precise purpose.
