941cab3a78 Do not autosquash in case of an implied interactive rebase
The option to autosquash is only used in case of an interactive rebase.
When merges are preserved, rebase uses an interactive rebase internally,
but in this case autosquash should still be disabled.

When "git rebase" was given a bad commit to replay the history on,
its error message did not correctly give the command line argument
it had trouble parsing.

9180feafbc rebase: report invalid commit correctly
In 9765b6a (rebase: align variable content, 2011-02-06), the code
to error out was moved up one level. Unfortunately, one reference
to a function parameter wasn't rewritten as it should, leading to
the wrong parameter being errored on.

This error was propagated by 71786f5 (rebase: factor out reference
parsing, 2011-02-06) and merged in 78c6e0f (Merge branch
'mz/rebase', 2011-04-28).

Correct this by reporting $onto_name istead.

3c02396adc Make git-{pull,rebase} message without tracking information friendlier
The current message is too long and at too low a level for anybody
to understand it if they don't know about the configuration format
already.

The text about setting up a remote is superfluous and doesn't help
understand or recover from the error that has happened.  Show the
usage more prominently and explain how to set up the tracking
information. If there is only one remote, that name is used instead
of the generic <remote>.

Also simplify the message we print on detached HEAD to remove
unnecessary information which is better left for the documentation.

035b5bf643 pull,rebase: handle GIT_WORK_TREE better
You can't currently run git-pull or git-rebase from outside
of the work tree, even with GIT_WORK_TREE set, due to an
overeager require_work_tree function. Commit e2eb527
documents this problem and provides the infrastructure for a
fix, but left it to later commits to audit and update
individual scripts.

Changing these scripts to use require_work_tree_exists is
easy to verify. We immediately call cd_to_toplevel, anyway.
Therefore no matter which function we use, the state
afterwards is one of:

  1. We have a work tree, and we are at the top level.

  2. We don't have a work tree, and we have died.

The only catch is that we must also make sure no code that
ran before the cd_to_toplevel assumed that we were already
in the working tree.

In this case, we will only have included shell libraries and
called set_reflog_action, neither of which care about the
current working directory at all.

5960bc9d63 rebase: clarify "restore the original branch"
The description for 'git rebase --abort' currently says:

    Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation.

The "restore" can be misinterpreted to imply that the original branch
was somehow in a broken state during the rebase operation. It is also
not completely clear what "the original branch" is --- is it the
branch that was checked out before the rebase operation was called or
is the the branch that is being rebased (it is the latter)? Although
both issues are made clear in the DESCRIPTION section, let us also
make the entry in the OPTIONS secion more clear.

Also remove the term "rebasing process" from the usage text, since the
user already knows that the text is about "git rebase".

34840db834 rebase: do not print lots of usage hints after an obvious error message
When a non-existent branch was specified to be rebased, the complete
usage information is printed after the error message that carries the
relevant piece of information:

   $ git rebase master topci
   fatal: no such branch: topci
   usage: git rebase [-i] [options] [--onto <newbase>] [<upstream>] [<branch>]
      or: git rebase [-i] [options] --onto <newbase> --root [<branch>]
      or: git-rebase [-i] --continue | --abort | --skip

   Available options are
   [30 lines of usage stripped]

The error message was introduced recently by 4ac5356c (rebase: give a
better error message for bogus branch, 2011-01-27), and the result was
acceptable because the usage text was just two lines. But 45e2acf3
(rebase: define options in OPTIONS_SPEC, 2011-02-28) made things worse
because the usage text is now 35 lines.

Just drop the usage information because it does not add value to the
error message.

53f2ffa80c rebase: write a reflog entry when finishing
When we finish a rebase, our detached HEAD is at the final
result. We update the original branch ref with this result,
and then point the HEAD symbolic ref at the updated branch.
We write a reflog for the branch update, but not for the
update of HEAD.

Because we're already at the final result on the detached
HEAD, moving to the branch actually doesn't change our
commit sha1 at all. So in that sense, a reflog entry would
be pointless.

However, humans do read reflogs, and an entry saying "rebase
finished: returning to refs/heads/master" can be helpful in
understanding what is going on.

ea69619cd1 rebase: create HEAD reflog entry when aborting
When we abort a rebase, we return to the original value of
HEAD. Failing to write a reflog entry means we create a
gap in the reflog (which can cause "git show
HEAD@{5.minutes.ago}" to issue a warning). Plus having the
extra entry makes the reflog easier to follow for a human.

45e2acf3d3 rebase: define options in OPTIONS_SPEC
Interactive rebase used to have its own command line processing. Since
it used the 'git rev-parse --parseopt' functionality exposed through
git-sh-setup, it had some flexibility, like matching prefixes of long
options, that non-interactive rebase didn't. When interactive rebase's
command line processing was factored out into git-rebase.sh in cf432ca
(rebase: factor out command line option processing, 2011-02-06), this
flexibility was lost. Give back that flexibility to interactive and
non-interactive by defining its options in OPTIONS_SPEC.

Also improve the usage message to contain the --continue, --skip and
--abort sub commands.

15a147e618 rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified
'git rebase' without arguments is currently not supported. Make it
default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what 'git pull
[--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that 'git rebase'
defaults to the same thing.

Defaulting to @{upstream} will make it possible to run e.g. 'git
rebase -i' without arguments, which is probably a quite common use
case. It also improves the scenario where you have multiple branches
that rebase against a remote-tracking branch, where you currently have
to choose between the extra network delay of 'git pull' or the
slightly awkward keys to enter 'git rebase @{u}'.

The error reporting when no upstream is configured for the current
branch or when no branch is checked out is reused from git-pull.sh. A
function is extracted into git-parse-remote.sh for this purpose.

strategy passed when the rebase was initated. Make non-interactive

84df4560ed rebase: extract code for writing basic state
Extract the code for writing the state to rebase-apply/ or
rebase-merge/ when a rebase is initiated. This will make it easier to
later make both interactive and non-interactive rebase remember the
options used.

Note that non-interactive rebase stores the sha1 of the original head
in a file called orig-head, while interactive rebase stores it in a
file called head. Change this by writing to orig-head in both
cases. When reading, try to read from orig-head. If that fails, read
from head instead. This protects users who upgraded git while they had
an ongoing interactive rebase, while still making it possible to
remove the code that reads from head at some point in the future.

downcase the name of the variable that refers to the file.

Currently, git-rebase.sh uses mostly lower case variable names, while

consistency, downcase all variables, not just the ones that will be
shared between the two script files.

99de0640f2 rebase: improve detection of rebase in progress
Detect early on if a rebase is in progress and what type of rebase it
is (interactive, merge-based or am-based). This prepares for further
refactoring where am-based rebase will be dispatched to
git-rebase--am.sh and merge-based rebase will be dispatched to
git-rebase--merge.sh.

The idea is to use the same variables whether the type of rebase was
detected from rebase-apply/ or rebase-merge/ directories or from the
command line options. This will make the code more readable and will
later also make it easier to dispatch to the type-specific scripts.

Also show a consistent error message independent of the type of rebase
that was in progress and remove the obsolete wording about being in
the middle of a 'patch application', since that (an existing
"$GIT_DIR"/rebase-apply/applying) aborts 'git rebase' at an earlier
stage.

02ac45fa62 rebase: refactor reading of state
The code reading the state saved in $merge_dir or $rebase_dir is
currently spread out in many places, making it harder to read and to
introduce additional state. Extract this code into one method that
reads the state. Only extract the code associated with the state that
is written when the rebase is initiated. Leave the state that changes
for each commmit, at least for now.

Currently, when resuming a merge-based rebase using --continue or
--skip, move_to_original_branch (via finish_rb_merge) will be called
without head_name and orig_head set. These variables are then lazily
read in move_to_original_branch if head_name is not set (together with
onto, which is unnecessarily read again). Change this by always
eagerly reading the state, for both am-based and merge-based rebase,
in the --continue and --skip cases. Note that this does not change the
behavior for am-based rebase, which read the state eagerly even before
this commit.

Reading the state eagerly means that part of the state will sometimes
be read unnecessarily. One example is when the rebase is continued,
but stops again at another merge conflict. Another example is when the
rebase is aborted. However, since both of these cases involve user
interaction, the delay is hopefully not noticeable. The
call_merge/continue_merge loop is not affected.

4ac5356c62 rebase: give a better error message for bogus branch
When you give a non-existent branch to git-rebase, it spits
out the usage. This can be confusing, since you may
understand the usage just fine, but simply have made a
mistake in the branch name.

Before:

  $ git rebase origin bogus
  Usage: git rebase ...

After:

  $ git rebase origin bogus
  fatal: no such branch: bogus
  Usage: git rebase ...

3b21a438c9 rebase: use explicit "--" with checkout
In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:

  1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
     refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
     current branch instead of producing an error.

  2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
     explicit "--" is better:

       # before
       $ git rebase -i origin bogus
       error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.
       Could not checkout bogus

       # after
       $ git rebase -i origin bogus
       fatal: invalid reference: bogus
       Could not checkout bogus

The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

9474a029d5 rebase: only show stat if configured to true
If rebase.stat is set to true, a diffstat should be displayed. If it is
not set, it should default to false. However, if it is explicitly set to
false (or other value), a diffstat is still displayed, which is probably
not what most users would expect. Show diffstat only if it is set
to true.

729ec9e23a rebase --abort: do not update branch ref
If a non-interactive rebase of a ref fails at commit X and is aborted by
the user, the ref will be updated twice. First to point at X (with the
reflog message "rebase finished: $head_name onto $onto"), and then back
to $orig_head. It should not be updated at all.
