# SHORT DESCRIPTION
#
# This script makes it easy to fix up commits in the middle of a series,
# and rearrange commits.
#
# The original idea comes from Eric W. Biederman, in
# http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/22407

OPTIONS_KEEPDASHDASH=
OPTIONS_SPEC="\
git-rebase [-i] [options] [--] <upstream> [<branch>]
git-rebase [-i] (--continue | --abort | --skip)
--
 Available options are
v,verbose          display a diffstat of what changed upstream
onto=              rebase onto given branch instead of upstream
p,preserve-merges  try to recreate merges instead of ignoring them
s,strategy=        use the given merge strategy
m,merge            always used (no-op)
i,interactive      always used (no-op)
 Actions:
continue           continue rebasing process
abort              abort rebasing process and restore original branch
skip               skip current patch and continue rebasing process
no-verify          override pre-rebase hook from stopping the operation
root               rebase all reachable commmits up to the root(s)
autosquash         move commits that begin with squash!/fixup! under -i

# The file containing rebase commands, comments, and empty lines.
# This file is created by "git rebase -i" then edited by the user.  As
# the lines are processed, they are removed from the front of this
# file and written to the tail of $DONE.
TODO="$DOTEST"/git-rebase-todo

# The rebase command lines that have already been processed.  A line
# is moved here when it is first handled, before any associated user
# actions.
DONE="$DOTEST"/done

# The commit message that is planned to be used for any changes that
# need to be committed following a user interaction.
MSG="$DOTEST"/message

# The file into which is accumulated the suggested commit message for
# squash/fixup commands.  When the first of a series of squash/fixups
# is seen, the file is created and the commit message from the
# previous commit and from the first squash/fixup commit are written
# to it.  The commit message for each subsequent squash/fixup commit
# is appended to the file as it is processed.
#
# The first line of the file is of the form
#     # This is a combination of $COUNT commits.
# where $COUNT is the number of commits whose messages have been
# written to the file so far (including the initial "pick" commit).
# Each time that a commit message is processed, this line is read and
# updated.  It is deleted just before the combined commit is made.
SQUASH_MSG="$DOTEST"/message-squash

# If the current series of squash/fixups has not yet included a squash
# command, then this file exists and holds the commit message of the
# original "pick" commit.  (If the series ends without a "squash"
# command, then this can be used as the commit message of the combined
# commit without opening the editor.)
FIXUP_MSG="$DOTEST"/message-fixup

# $REWRITTEN is the name of a directory containing files for each
# commit that is reachable by at least one merge base of $HEAD and
# $UPSTREAM. They are not necessarily rewritten, but their children
# might be.  This ensures that commits on merged, but otherwise
# unrelated side branches are left alone. (Think "X" in the man page's
# example.)
REWRITTEN="$DOTEST"/rewritten

DROPPED="$DOTEST"/dropped

# A script to set the GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, and
# GIT_AUTHOR_DATE that will be used for the commit that is currently
# being rebased.
AUTHOR_SCRIPT="$DOTEST"/author-script

# When an "edit" rebase command is being processed, the SHA1 of the
# commit to be edited is recorded in this file.  When "git rebase
# --continue" is executed, if there are any staged changes then they
# will be amended to the HEAD commit, but only provided the HEAD
# commit is still the commit to be edited.  When any other rebase
# command is processed, this file is deleted.
