0e987a12fc am, rebase: teach quiet option
git-am and git-rebase are talkative scripts. Teach them to be quiet when
told, allowing them to speak only when they fail or experience errors.

The quiet option is maintained when git-am or git-rebase fails to apply
a patch. This means subsequent --resolved, --continue, --skip, --abort
invocations will be quiet if the original invocation was quiet.

Drop a handful of >&2 redirection; the rest of the program sends all the
info messages to stdout, not to stderr.

a9c3821ca2 git-rebase: Add --stat and --no-stat for producing diffstat on rebase
The behavior of --verbose is unchanged, but uses a different state
variable internally, so that the meaning of verbose output may be
expanded without affecting the diffstat. This is also reflected in
the documentation.

The configuration option rebase.stat works the same was as merg.stat,
but the default is currently false.

b2f82e05de Teach rebase to rebase even if upstream is up to date
Normally, if the current branch is up to date, the rebase is aborted.
However, it may be desirable to allow rebasing even if the current
branch is up to date. When using the '--whitespace=fix' option -f is
implied.

190f53232d rebase: learn to rebase root commit
Teach git-rebase a new option --root, which instructs it to rebase the
entire history leading up to <branch>.  This option must be used with
--onto <newbase>, and causes commits that already exist in <newbase>
to be skipped.  (Normal operation skips commits that already exist in
<upstream> instead.)

One possible use-case is with git-svn: suppose you start hacking
(perhaps offline) on a new project, but later notice you want to
commit this work to SVN.  You will have to rebase the entire history,
including the root commit, on a (possibly empty) commit coming from
git-svn, to establish a history connection.  This previously had to
be done by cherry-picking the root commit manually.

07e62b733f rebase: improve error messages about dirty state
If you have unstaged changes in your working tree and try to
rebase, you will get the cryptic "foo: needs update"
message, but nothing else.  If you have staged changes, you
get "your index is not up-to-date".

Let's improve this situation in two ways:

 - for unstaged changes, let's also tell them we are
   canceling the rebase, and why (in addition to the "needs
   update" lines)

 - for the staged changes case, let's use language that is a
   little more clear to the user: their index contains
   uncommitted changes

It is sometimes desirable to disable the safety net of pre-rebase hook
when the user knows what he is doing (for example, when the original
changes on the branch have not been shown to the public yet).

This teaches --no-verify option to git-rebase, which is similar to the way

f8cca019b9 rebase: Support preserving merges in non-interactive mode
As a result of implementation details, 'git rebase' could
previously only preserve merges in interactive mode. That
limitation was hard for users to understand and awkward to
explain.

This patch works around it by running the interactive rebase
helper git-rebase--interactive with GIT_EDITOR set to ':'
when the user passes "-p" but not "-i" to the rebase command.
The effect is that the interactive rebase helper is used but
the user never sees an editor.

The test-case included in this patch was originally written
by Stephen Habermann <stephen@exigencecorp.com>, but has
been extensively modified since its creation.

9b752a6e31 Improve error output of git-rebase
"git rebase" without arguments on initial startup showed:

	fatal: Needed a single revision
	invalid upstream

This patch makes it show the ordinary usage string.

If .git/rebase-merge or .git/rebase-apply/rebasing exists, git-rebase
will die with a message saying that a rebase is in progress and the user
should try --skip/--abort/--continue.

If .git/rebase-apply/applying exists, git-rebase will die with a message
saying that git-am is in progress, regardless how many arguments are
given.

If no arguments are given and .git/rebase-apply/ exists, but neither a
rebasing nor applying file is in that directory, git-rebase dies with a
message saying that rebase-apply exists and no arguments were given.

324c2c3177 git-rebase: report checkout failure
When detaching the HEAD to the base commit, the "git checkout" command
could fail if, for example, upstream contains a file that would overrwrite
a local, untracked file.  Unconditionally discarding the standard error
stream was done to squelch the progress and notices back when checkout
did not have -q option, but there is no reason to keep doing it anymore.

22e407951e Teach "am" and "rebase" to mark the original position with ORIG_HEAD
"merge" and "reset" leave the original point in history in ORIG_HEAD,
which makes it easy to go back to where you were before you inflict a
major damage to your history and realize that you do not like the result
at all.  These days with reflog, we technically do not need to use
ORIG_HEAD, but it is a handy way nevertheless.

This teaches "am" and "rebase" (all forms --- the vanilla one that uses
"am" as its backend, "-m" variant that cherry-picks, and "--interactive")
to do the same.

The original idea and a partial implementation to do this only for "rebase
-m" was by Brian Gernhardt; this extends on his idea.

6848d58c60 Ignore dirty submodule states during rebase and stash
When rebasing or stashing, chances are that you do not care about
dirty submodules, since they are not updated by those actions anyway.
So ignore the submodules' states.

Note: the submodule states -- as committed in the superproject --
will still be stashed and rebased, it is _just_ the state of the
submodule in the working tree which is ignored.

0cb06644a5 rebase [--onto O] A B: omit needless checkout
This teaches "git rebase [--onto O] A B" to omit an unnecessary checkout
of branch B before it goes on.

"git-rebase" originally was about rebasing the current branch to somewhere
else, and when the extra parameter to name which branch to rebase was
added, it defined the semantics to the safest but stupid "first switch to
the named branch and then operate exactly the same way as if we were
already on that branch".

But the first thing the real part of "rebase" does is to reset the work
tree and the index to the "onto" commit.  Which means the "rebase that
branch" form switched the work tree to the tip of the branch only to
immediately switch again to another commit.  This was wasteful.

e637122ef2 rebase -m: do not trigger pre-commit verification
When rebasing changes that contain issues that the pre-commit hook flags
as problematic, the rebase cannot be continued.  However, rebase is about
transplanting commits that are already made with as little distortion as
possible, and pre-commit check should not interfere.

Earlier, c5b09fe (Avoid update hook during git-rebase --interactive,
2007-12-19) fixed "rebase -i", but "rebase -m" shared the same issue.

822f7c7349 Supplant the "while case ... break ;; esac" idiom
A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with

	while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac

and similar.  I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance.  It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant.  In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test".  "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin.  Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.

A few loops have had their termination condition expressed
differently.

7afa845edc rebase -m: Fix incorrect short-logs of already applied commits.
When a topic branch is rebased, some of whose commits are already
cherry-picked upstream:

    o--X--A--B--Y    <- master
     \
      A--B--Z        <- topic

then 'git rebase -m master' would report:

    Already applied: 0001 Y
    Already applied: 0002 Y

With this fix it reports the expected:

    Already applied: 0001 A
    Already applied: 0002 B

As an added bonus, this change also avoids 'echo' of a commit message,
which might contain escapements.

b4372ef136 Enable "git rerere" by the config variable rerere.enabled
Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory
.git/rr-cache.  That is definitely not in line with most other
features, which are enabled by a config variable.

So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set
to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if
.git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable
rerere temporarily.

If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection
of the directory .git/rr-cache.

1308c17b3e Allow rebase to run if upstream is completely merged
Consider this history:

  o--o-...-B          <- origin
      \     \
       x--x--M--x--x  <- master

In this situation, rebase considers master fully up-to-date and would
not do anything. However, if there were additional commits on origin,
the rebase would run and move the commits x on top of origin.

Here we change rebase to short-circuit out only if the history since origin
is strictly linear. Consequently, the above as well as a history like this
would be linearized:

  o--o               <- origin
      \
       x--x
        \  \
         x--M--x--x  <- master

1b1dce4bae Teach rebase an interactive mode
Don't you just hate the fact sometimes, that git-rebase just applies
the patches, without any possibility to edit them, or rearrange them?
With "--interactive", git-rebase now lets you edit the list of patches,
so that you can reorder, edit and delete patches.

Such a list will typically look like this:

	pick deadbee The oneline of this commit
	pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
	...

By replacing the command "pick" with the command "edit", you can amend
that patch and/or its commit message, and by replacing it with "squash"
you can tell rebase to fold that patch into the patch before that.

It is derived from the script sent to the list in

a1bf91e081 git-rebase: make 'rebase HEAD branch' work as expected.
When you want to amend the commit message of 3 commits before
the tip of the current branch, say 'master',

	A--B--C--D--E(master)

it is sometimes handy to make your head detached at that commit
with:

	$ git checkout HEAD~3 ;# check out B
	$ git commit --amend ;# without modifying contents...

to create:

          .B'(HEAD)
         /
	A--B--C--D--E(master)

and then rebase 'master' branch onto HEAD with this:

	$ git rebase HEAD master

to result in:

          .B'-C'-D'-E(master=HEAD)
         /
	A--B--C--D--E

However, the current code interprets HEAD after it switches to
the branch 'master', which means the rebase will not do
anything.  You have to say something unwieldly like this
instead:

	$ git rebase $(git rev-parse HEAD) master

This fixes it by expanding the $onto commit name before
switching to the target branch.

If the user tries to run a porcelainish command which requires

Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare

0bb733c91c Use branch names in 'git-rebase -m' conflict hunks.
If a three-way merge in git-rebase generates a conflict then we
should take advantage of git-merge-recursive's ability to include
the branch name of each side of the conflict hunk by setting the
GITHEAD_* environment variables.

In the case of rebase there aren't really two clear branches; we
have the branch we are rebasing onto, and we have the branch we are
currently rebasing.  Since most conflicts will be arising between
the user's current branch and the branch they are rebasing onto
we assume the stuff that isn't in the current commit is the "onto"
branch and the stuff in the current commit is the "current" branch.

This assumption may however come up wrong if the user resolves one
conflict in such a way that it conflicts again on a future commit
also being rebased.  In this case the user's prior resolution will
appear to be in the "onto" part of the hunk.

f94741324e Use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable instead.
Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter
was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code
needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to
ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and
not the lower-level actions it invoked.

At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action
function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on
what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only
takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
environment variable.

6d297f8137 Status update on merge-recursive in C
This is just an update for people being interested. Alex and me were
busy with that project for a few days now. While it has progressed nicely,
there are quite a couple TODOs in merge-recursive.c, just search for "TODO".

For impatient people: yes, it passes all the tests, and yes, according
to the evil test Alex did, it is faster than the Python script.

But no, it is not yet finished. Biggest points are:

- there are still three external calls
- in the end, it should not be necessary to write the index more than once
  (just before exiting)
- a lot of things can be refactored to make the code easier and shorter

BTW we cannot just plug in git-merge-tree yet, because git-merge-tree
does not handle renames at all.

This patch is meant for testing, and as such,

- it compile the program to git-merge-recur
- it adjusts the scripts and tests to use git-merge-recur instead of
  git-merge-recursive
- it provides "TEST", a script to execute the tests regarding -recursive
- it inlines the changes to read-cache.c (read_cache_from(), discard_cache()
  and refresh_cache_entry())

5887ac821f rebase --merge: fix for rebasing more than 7 commits.
Instead of using 4-digit numbers to name commits being rebased,
just use "cmt.$msgnum" string, with $msgnum as a decimal number
without leading zero padding.  This makes it possible to rebase
more than 9999 commits, but of more practical importance is that
the earlier code used "printf" to format already formatted
$msgnum and barfed when it counted up to 0008.  In other words,
the old code was incapable of rebasing more than 7 commits, and

separating the other branch name and new branch point.  By
default, the new branch point is the same as the tip of the
other branch as before, but you can specify where you graft the
rebased branch onto.

When you have this ancestry graph:

          A---B---C topic
         /
    D---E---F---G master

	$ git rebase --onto master~1 master topic

would rewrite the history to look like this:

	      A'\''--B'\''--C'\'' topic
	     /
    D---E---F---G master

When switching to another branch and rebasing it in a one-go, it
failed to update the variable that holds the branch head, and

7f4bd5d831 rebase: one safety net, one bugfix and one optimization.
When a .dotest from a previously failed rebase or patch
application exists, rebase got confused and tried to apply
mixture of what was already there and what is being rebased.
Check the existence of the directory and barf.

It failed with an mysterious "fatal: cannot read mbox" message
if the branch being rebased is fully in sync with the base.
Also if the branch is a proper descendant of the base, there is
no need to run rebase logic.  Prevent these from happening by
checking where the merge-base is.

7f59dbbb8f Rewrite rebase to use git-format-patch piped to git-am.
The current rebase implementation finds commits in our tree but
not in the upstream tree using git-cherry, and tries to apply
them using git-cherry-pick (i.e. always use 3-way) one by one.

Which is fine, but when some of the changes do not apply
cleanly, it punts, and punts badly.

Suppose you have commits A-B-C-D-E since you forked from the
upstream and submitted the changes for inclusion.  You fetch
from upstream head U and find that B has been picked up.  You
run git-rebase to update your branch, which tries to apply
changes contained in A-C-D-E, in this order, but replaying of C
fails, because the upstream got changes that touch the same area
from elsewhere.

Now what?

It notes that fact, and goes ahead to apply D and E, and at the
very end tells you to deal with C by hand.  Even if you somehow
managed to replay C on top of the result, you would now end up
with ...-B-...-U-A-D-E-C.

Breaking the order between B and others was the conscious
decision made by the upstream, so we would not worry about it,
and even if it were worrisome, it is too late for us to fix now.
What D and E do may well depend on having C applied before them,
which is a problem for us.

This rewrites rebase to use git-format-patch piped to git-am,
and when the patch does not apply, have git-am fall back on
3-way merge.  The updated diff/patch pair knows how to apply
trivial binary patches as long as the pre- and post-images are
locally available, so this should work on a repository with
binary files as well.

The primary benefit of this change is that it makes rebase
easier to use when some of the changes do not replay cleanly.
In the "unapplicable patch in the middle" case, this "rebase"
works like this:

 - A series of patches in e-mail form is created that records
   what A-C-D-E do, and is fed to git-am.  This is stored in
   .dotest/ directory, just like the case you tried to apply
   them from your mailbox.  Your branch is rewound to the tip of
   upstream U, and the original head is kept in .git/ORIG_HEAD,
   so you could "git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD" in case the end
   result is really messy.

 - Patch A applies cleanly.  This could either be a clean patch
   application on top of rewound head (i.e. same as upstream
   head), or git-am might have internally fell back on 3-way
   (i.e.  it would have done the same thing as git-cherry-pick).
   In either case, a rebased commit A is made on top of U.

 - Patch C does not apply.  git-am stops here, with conflicts to
   be resolved in the working tree.  Yet-to-be-applied D and E
   are still kept in .dotest/ directory at this point.  What the
   user does is exactly the same as fixing up unapplicable patch
   when running git-am:

   - Resolve conflict just like any merge conflicts.
   - "git am --resolved --3way" to continue applying the patches.

 - This applies the fixed-up patch so by definition it had
   better apply.  "git am" knows the patch after the fixed-up
   one is D and then E; it applies them, and you will get the
   changes from A-C-D-E commits on top of U, in this order.

I've been using this without noticing any problem, and as people
may know I do a lot of rebases.

This uses the git-update-ref command in scripts for safer updates.
Also places where we used to read HEAD ref by using "cat" were fixed
to use git-rev-parse.  This will matter when we start using symbolic

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.
