If there is no worktree at present, we can still hint the user about
Git's current directory by showing them the absolute path to the Git
directory. Even though the Git directory doesn't make it as easy to
locate the worktree in question, it can still help a user figure out
what's going on while developing a script.

[jc: added minimum tests, with help from Szeder Gábor]

Several tests wanted to verify that files were actually modified by a
merge, which it would do by checking that the mtime was updated. In
order to avoid problems with the merge completing so fast that the mtime
at the beginning and end of the operation was the same, these tests
would first set the mtime of a file to something "old". This "old"
value was usually determined as current system clock minus one second,
truncated to the nearest integer. Unfortunately, it appears the system
clock and filesystem clock are different and comparing across the two
runs into race problems resulting in flaky tests.
From https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14392975/timestamp-accuracy-on-ext4-sub-millsecond:
date will call the gettimeofday system call which will always return
the most accurate time available based on the cached kernel time,
adjusted by the CPU cycle time if available to give nanosecond
resolution. The timestamps stored in the file system however, are
only based on the cached kernel time. ie The time calculated at the
last timer interrupt.
and from https://apenwarr.ca/log/20181113:
Does mtime get set to >= the current time?
No, this depends on clock granularity. For example, gettimeofday()
can return times in microseconds on my system, but ext4 rounds
timestamps down to the previous ~10ms (but not exactly 10ms)
increment, with the surprising result that a newly-created file is
almost always created in the past:
$ python -c "
import os, time
t0 = time.time()
open('testfile', 'w').close()
print os.stat('testfile').st_mtime - t0
"
-0.00234484672546
So, instead of trying to compare across what are effectively two
different clocks, just avoid using the system clock. Any new updates to
files have to give an mtime at least as big as what is already in the
file, so we could define "old" as one second before the mtime found in
the file before the merge starts. But, to avoid problems with leap
seconds, ntp updates, filesystems that only provide two second
resolution, and other such weirdness, let's just pick an hour before the
mtime found in the file before the merge starts.
Also, clarify in one test where we check the mtime of different files
that it really was intentional. I totally forgot the reasons for that
and assumed it was a bug when asked.

Band-aid fixes for two fallouts from switching the default "rebase"
backend.
* en/rebase-backend:
git-rebase.txt: highlight backend differences with commit rewording
sequencer: clear state upon dropping a become-empty commit
i18n: unmark a message in rebase.c
The credential protocol can't handle values with newlines. We already
detect and block any such URLs from being used with credential helpers,
but let's also add an fsck check to detect and block gitmodules files
with such URLs. That will let us notice the problem earlier when
transfer.fsckObjects is turned on. And in particular it will prevent bad
objects from spreading, which may protect downstream users running older
versions of Git.
We'll file this under the existing gitmodulesUrl flag, which covers URLs
with option injection. There's really no need to distinguish the exact
flaw in the URL in this context. Likewise, I've expanded the description
of t7416 to cover all types of bogus URLs.
The credential protocol can't represent newlines in values, but URLs can
embed percent-encoded newlines in various components. A previous commit
taught the low-level writing routines to die() when encountering this,
but we can be a little friendlier to the user by detecting them earlier
and handling them gracefully.
This patch teaches credential_from_url() to notice such components,
issue a warning, and blank the credential (which will generally result
in prompting the user for a username and password). We blank the whole
credential in this case. Another option would be to blank only the
invalid component. However, we're probably better off not feeding a
partially-parsed URL result to a credential helper. We don't know how a
given helper would handle it, so we're better off to err on the side of
matching nothing rather than something unexpected.
The die() call in credential_write() is _probably_ impossible to reach
after this patch. Values should end up in credential structs only by URL
parsing (which is covered here), or by reading credential protocol input
(which by definition cannot read a newline into a value). But we should
definitely keep the low-level check, as it's our final and most accurate
line of defense against protocol injection attacks. Arguably it could
become a BUG(), but it probably doesn't matter much either way.
Note that the public interface of credential_from_url() grows a little
more than we need here. We'll use the extra flexibility in a future
patch to help fsck catch these cases.
The credential tests have a "check" function which feeds some input to
git-credential and checks the stdout and stderr. We look for exact
matches in the output. For stdout, this makes sense; the output is
the credential protocol. But for stderr, we may be showing various
diagnostic messages, or the prompts fed to the askpass program, which
could be translated. Let's mark them as such.
The credential protocol that we use to speak to helpers can't represent
values with newlines in them. This was an intentional design choice to
keep the protocol simple, since none of the values we pass should
generally have newlines.
However, if we _do_ encounter a newline in a value, we blindly transmit
it in credential_write(). Such values may break the protocol syntax, or
worse, inject new valid lines into the protocol stream.
The most likely way for a newline to end up in a credential struct is by
decoding a URL with a percent-encoded newline. However, since the bug
occurs at the moment we write the value to the protocol, we'll catch it
there. That should leave no possibility of accidentally missing a code
path that can trigger the problem.
At this level of the code we have little choice but to die(). However,
since we'd not ever expect to see this case outside of a malicious URL,
that's an acceptable outcome.

In commit e98c4269c8 ("rebase (interactive-backend): fix handling of
commits that become empty", 2020-02-15), the merge backend was changed
to drop commits that did not start empty but became so after being
applied (because their changes were a subset of what was already
upstream). This new code path did not need to go through the process of
creating a commit, since we were dropping the commit instead.
Unfortunately, this also means we bypassed the clearing of the
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and MERGE_MSG files, which if there were no further
commits to cherry-pick would mean that the rebase would end but assume
there was still an operation in progress. Ensure that we clear such
state files when we decide to drop the commit.

We grep for "File exists" in stderr of the failing `git sparse-checkout`
to make sure that it failed for the right reason. We expect the string
to show up there since we call `strerror(errno)` in
`unable_to_lock_message()` in lockfile.c.
On the NonStop platform, this fails because the error string is "File
already exists", which doesn't match our grepping.
See 9042140097 ("test-dir-iterator: do not assume errno values",
2019-07-30) for a somewhat similar fix. There, we patched a test helper,
which meant we had access to `errno` and could investigate it better in
the test helper instead of just outputting the numerical value and
evaluating it in the test script. The current situation is different,
since (short of modifying the lockfile machinery, e.g., to be more
verbose) we don't have more than the output from `strerror()` available.
Except we do: We prefix `strerror(errno)` with `_("Unable to create
'%s.lock': ")`. Let's grep for that part instead. It verifies that we
were indeed unable to create the lock file. (If that fails for some
other reason than the file existing, we really really should expect
other tests to fail as well.)
An alternative fix would be to loosen the expression a bit and grep for
"File.* exists" instead. There would be no guarantee that some other
implementation couldn't come up with another error string, That is, that
could be the first move in an endless game of whack-a-mole. Of course,
it could also take us from "99" to "100" percent of the platforms and
we'd never have this problem again. But since we have another way of
addressing this, let's not even try the "loosen it up a bit" strategy.

If a repository has two files:

then a simple lexicographic ordering of files and directories shows

foo/bar
foo/bar-2
foo/bar/baz
...
and the appearance of foo/bar-2 between foo/bar and foo/bar/baz can trip
up some codepaths. Add a test to catch such cases.
t6020 might be a slight misfit since this testcase does not test any
kind of file/directory conflict. However, it is similar in spirit to
some tests (4-6) already in t6020 that check cases where a *file* sorted
between a directory and the files underneath that directory. This
testcase differs in that now there is a *directory* that sorts in the
middle.
Although merge-recursive currently has no problems with this simple
testcase, I discovered that it's very possible to accidentally mess it

in the entire testsuite that cover such a case, so I felt like it would

Among other differences relative to GNU sed, macOS' sed always ends its
output with a trailing newline, even if the input did not have such a
trailing newline.
Surprisingly, this makes three httpd-based tests fail on macOS: t5616,
t5702 and t5703. ("Surprisingly" because those tests have been around
for some time, but apparently nobody runs them on macOS with a working
Apache2 setup.)
The reason is that we use `sed` in those tests to filter the response of
the web server. Apart from the fact that we use GNU constructs (such as
using a space after the `c` command instead of a backslash and a
newline), we have another problem: macOS' sed LF-only newlines while
webservers are supposed to use CR/LF ones.
Even worse, t5616 uses `sed` to replace a binary part of the response
with a new binary part (kind of hoping that the replaced binary part
does not contain a 0x0a byte which would be interpreted as a newline).
To that end, it calls on Perl to read the binary pack file and
hex-encode it, then calls on `sed` to prefix every hex digit pair with a
`\x` in order to construct the text that the `c` statement of the `sed`
invocation is supposed to insert. So we call Perl and sed to construct a
sed statement. The final nail in the coffin is that macOS' sed does not
even interpret those `\x<hex>` constructs.
Let's just replace all of that by Perl snippets. With Perl, at least, we
do not have to deal with GNU vs macOS semantics, we do not have to worry
about unwanted trailing newlines, and we do not have to spawn commands
to construct arguments for other commands to be spawned (i.e. we can
avoid a whole lot of shell scripting complexity).
The upshot is that this fixes t5616, t5702 and t5703 on macOS with
Apache2.

When searching the commit graph for tag candidates, `git-describe`

it can happen that the search on one branch terminates prematurely
because a tag was found on another, independent branch. This scenario
isn't quite as obscure as it sounds, since cloning with a limited
depth often introduces many independent "dead ends" into the commit
graph.
The help text of `git-describe` states pretty clearly that when
describing a commit D, the number appended to the emitted tag X should
correspond to the number of commits found by `git log X..D`.
Thus, this commit modifies the stopping condition to only abort
the search when only one branch is left to search *and* all current
best candidates are descendants from that branch.
For repositories with a single root, this condition is always
true: When the search is reduced to a single active branch, the
current commit must be an ancestor of *all* tag candidates. This
means that in the common case, this change will have no negative
performance impact since the same number of commits as before will
be traversed.

"git worktree add <path>" performs various checks before approving
<path> as a valid location for the new worktree. Aside from ensuring
that <path> does not already exist, one of the questions it asks is
whether <path> is already a registered worktree. To perform this check,
it queries find_worktree() and disallows the "add" operation if
find_worktree() finds a match for <path>. As a convenience, however,
find_worktree() casts an overly wide net to allow users to identify
worktrees by shorthand in order to keep typing to a minimum. For
instance, it performs suffix matching which, given subtrees "foo/bar"
and "foo/baz", can correctly select the latter when asked only for
"baz".
"add" validation knows the exact path it is interrogating, so this sort
of heuristic-based matching is, at best, questionable for this use-case
and, at worst, may may accidentally interpret <path> as matching an
existing worktree and incorrectly report it as already registered even
when it isn't. (In fact, validate_worktree_add() already contains a
special case to avoid accidentally matching against the main worktree,
precisely due to this problem.)
Avoid the problem of potential accidental matching against an existing
worktree by instead taking advantage of find_worktree_by_path() which
matches paths deterministically, without applying any sort of magic
shorthand matching performed by find_worktree().

This test intentionally creates a file which causes rebase to fail, thus
it is important that this file be deleted before subsequent tests are
run which are not expecting such a failure. In the past, the common way
to ensure cleanup (regardless of whether the test succeeded or failed)
was either for the next test to perform the previous test's cleanup as
its first step or to do the cleanup at global scope outside of any
tests. With the introduction of 'test_when_finished', however, tests can
be responsible for their own cleanup. Therefore, update this test to
clean up after itself.
A bit of history: This 'rm' invocation was moved from within the body of

commit, one could argue that `cat`-ing the file verifies that it didn't
disappear somehow. But because the very next thing we do after `cat`-ing
the file is to `grep` in it, we can safely drop the call to `cat`.

We `cat` files, but don't inspect or grab the contents in any way. These
`cat` calls look like remnants from a debug session, so it's tempting to
get rid of them. But they do actually verify that the files exist, which
might not necessarily be the case for some failure modes of `git apply
--reject`. Let's not lose that.
Convert the `cat` calls to use `test_path_is_file` instead. This is of
course still a minor change since we no longer verify that the files can
be opened for reading, but that is not something we usually worry about.

The receive.denyCurrentBranch config option controls what happens if
you push to a branch that is checked out into a non-bare repository.
By default, it rejects it. It can be disabled via `ignore` or `warn`.
Another yet trickier option is `updateInstead`.
However, this setting was forgotten when the git worktree command was
introduced: only the main worktree's current branch is respected.
With this change, all worktrees are respected.
That change also leads to revealing another bug,
i.e. `receive.denyCurrentBranch = true` was ignored when pushing into a
non-bare repository's unborn current branch using ref namespaces. As
`is_ref_checked_out()` returns 0 which means `receive-pack` does not get
into conditional statement to switch `deny_current_branch` accordingly
(ignore, warn, refuse, unconfigured, updateInstead).
receive.denyCurrentBranch uses the function `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()`
(called via `resolve_refdup()`) to resolve the symbolic ref HEAD, but
that function fails when HEAD does not point at a valid commit.
As we replace the call to `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` with
`find_shared_symref()`, which has no problem finding the worktree for a
given branch even if it is unborn yet, this bug is fixed at the same
time: receive.denyCurrentBranch now also handles worktrees with unborn
branches as intended even while using ref namespaces.

`receive.denyCurrentBranch` currently has a bug where it allows pushing
into non-bare repository using namespaces as long as it does not have any
commits. This would cause t5509 to fail once that bug is fixed because it
pushes into an unborn current branch.
In t5509, no operations are performed inside `pushee`, as it is only a
target for `git push` and `git ls-remote` calls. Therefore it does not
need to have a worktree. So, it is safe to change `pushee` to a bare
repository.

When using partial clone, find_non_local_tags() in builtin/fetch.c
checks each remote tag to see if its object also exists locally. There
is no expectation that the object exist locally, but this function
nevertheless triggers a lazy fetch if the object does not exist. This
can be extremely expensive when asking for a commit, as we are
completely removed from the context of the non-existent object and
thus supply no "haves" in the request.
6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05) removed a
global variable that prevented these fetches in favor of a bitflag.
However, some object existence checks were not updated to use this flag.
Update find_non_local_tags() to use OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT in
addition to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The _QUICK option only prevents
repreparing the pack-file structures. We need to be extremely careful
about supplying _SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT when we expect an object to not exist
due to updated refs.
This resolves a broken test in t5616-partial-clone.sh.

While testing partial clone, I noticed some odd behavior. I was testing
a way of running 'git init', followed by manually configuring the remote
for partial clone, and then running 'git fetch'. Astonishingly, I saw
the 'git fetch' process start asking the server for multiple rounds of
pack-file downloads! When tweaking the situation a little more, I
discovered that I could cause the remote to hang up with an error.
Add two tests that demonstrate these two issues.
In the first test, we find that when fetching with blob filters from
a repository that previously did not have any tags, the 'git fetch
--tags origin' command fails because the server sends "multiple
filter-specs cannot be combined". This only happens when using
protocol v2.
In the second test, we see that a 'git fetch origin' request with
several ref updates results in multiple pack-file downloads. This must
be due to Git trying to fault-in the objects pointed by the refs. What
makes this matter particularly nasty is that this goes through the
do_oid_object_info_extended() method, so there are no "haves" in the
negotiation. This leads the remote to send every reachable commit and
tree from each new ref, providing a quadratic amount of data transfer!
This test is fixed if we revert 6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove
fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05), but that revert causes other test
failures. The real fix will need more care.
The tests are ordered in this way because if I swap the test order the
tag test will succeed instead of fail. I believe this is because somehow
we need the srv.bare repo to not have any tags when we clone, but then
have tags in our next fetch.

In 9e6d3e64 (sparse-checkout: detect short patterns, 2020-01-24), a
condition on the minimum length of a cone-mode pattern was introduced.
However, this condition was off-by-one.
If we have a directory with a single character, say "b", then the
command
git sparse-checkout set b
will correctly add the pattern "/b/" to the sparse-checkout file. When
this is interpeted in dir.c, the pattern is "/b" with the
PATTERN_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR flag. This string has length two, which satisfies
our inclusive inequality (<= 2).
The reason for this inequality is that we will start to read the pattern
string character-by-character using three char pointers: prev, cur,
next. In particular, next is set to the current pattern plus two. The
mistake was that next will still be a valid pointer when the pattern
length is two, since the string is null-terminated.
Make this inequality strict so these patterns work.

When "git am --show-current-patch" was added in commit 984913a210 ("am:
add --show-current-patch", 2018-02-12), "git am" started recommending it
as a replacement for .git/rebase-merge/patch. Unfortunately the suggestion
is somewhat misguided; for example, the output "git am --show-current-patch"
cannot be passed to "git apply" if it is encoded as quoted-printable or
base64. To simplify worktree operations and to avoid that users poke into
.git, it would be better if "git am" also provided a mode that copies
.git/rebase-merge/patch to stdout.
One possibility could be to have completely separate options, introducing
for example --show-current-message (for .git/rebase-apply/NNNN)
and --show-current-diff (for .git/rebase-apply/patch), while possibly
deprecating --show-current-patch.
That would even remove the need for the first two patches in the series.
However, the long common prefix would have prevented using an abbreviated
option such as "--show". Therefore, I chose instead to add a string
argument to --show-current-patch. The new argument is optional, so that
"git am --show-current-patch"'s behavior remains backwards-compatible.
The next choice to make is how to handle multiple --show-current-patch
options. Right now, something like "git am --abort --show-current-patch"
is rejected, and the previous suggestion would likewise have naturally
rejected a command line like
git am --show-current-message --show-current-diff
Therefore, I decided to also reject for example
git am --show-current-patch=diff --show-current-patch=raw
In other words the whole of --show-current-patch=xxx (including the
optional argument) is treated as the command mode. I found this to be
more consistent and intuitive, even though it differs from the usual
"last one wins" semantics of the git command line.
Add the code to parse submodes based on the above design, where for now
"raw" is the only valid submode. "raw" prints the full e-mail message
just like "git am --show-current-patch".

In some cases, a user will want to use a specific credential helper for
a wildcard pattern, such as https://*.corp.example.com. We have code
that handles this already with the urlmatch code, so let's use that
instead of our custom code.
Since the urlmatch code is a superset of our current matching in terms
of capabilities, there shouldn't be any cases of things that matched
previously that don't match now. However, in addition to wildcard
matching, we now use partial path matching, which can cause slightly
different behavior in the case that a helper applies to the prefix
(considering path components) of the remote URL. While different, this
is probably the behavior people were wanting anyway.
Since we're using the urlmatch code, we need to encode the components
we've gotten into a URL to match, so add a function to percent-encode
data and format the URL with it. We now also no longer need to the
custom code to match URLs, so let's remove it.
Additionally, the urlmatch code always looks for the best match, whereas
we want all matches for credential helpers to preserve existing
behavior. Let's add an optional field, select_fn, that lets us control
which items we want (in this case, all of them) and default it to the
best-match code that already exists for other users.

Everywhere else in the codebase, we use the rule that the last matching
configuration option is the one that takes effect. This is helpful
because it allows more specific configuration settings (e.g., per-repo
configuration) to override less specific settings (e.g., per-user
configuration).
However, in the credential code, we didn't honor this setting, and
instead picked the first setting we had, and stuck with it. This was
likely to ensure we picked the value from the URL, which we want to
honor over the configuration.
It's possible to do both, though, so let's check if the value is the one
we've gotten over our protocol connection, which if present will have
come from the URL, and keep it if so. Otherwise, let's overwrite the
value with the latest version we've got from the configuration, so we
keep the last configuration value.

There are some tricky cases in our credential helpers that we don't have
test cases for. To help prevent regressions, let's add some for these
cases:
* If there are multiple configured credential helpers, one without a
path and one with a path, we want to invoke both of them.
* If there are percent-encoded values in the URL, we handle them
properly.
* And finally, if there is a username in the remote URL, we want to
honor that over what the configuration tells us.
Finally, there's an additional case that we'd like to test for as well,
but that currently fails. In all other situations in our configuration,
we pick the last configuration setting that's provided. However, we
fail to do that for credential.username, where we pick the first setting
instead. Let's add a failing test that we have the consistent behavior
here, since that's the documented, expected behavior.

Eliminate crude option parsing and rely on real parsing instead, because
1) Crude parsing is crude, for example it's not capable of
handling things like `git stash -m Message`
2) Adding options in two places is inconvenient and prone to bugs
As a side result, the case of `git stash -m Message` gets fixed.
Also give a good error message instead of just throwing usage at user.
----
Some review of what's been happening to this code:
Before [1], `git-stash.sh` only verified that all args begin with `-` :
# The default command is "push" if nothing but options are given
seen_non_option=
for opt
do
case "$opt" in
--) break ;;
-*) ;;
*) seen_non_option=t; break ;;
esac
done
Later, [1] introduced the duplicate code I'm now removing, also making
the previous test more strict by white-listing options.

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.
Adjustments were needed for `if (!argc)` block:
This code actually means "pathspec is not present". Previously, pathspec
could only come from commandline arguments, so testing for `argc` was a
valid way of testing for the presence of pathspec. But this is no longer
true with `--pathspec-from-file`.
During the entire `--pathspec-from-file` story, I tried to keep its
behavior very close to giving pathspec on commandline, so that switching
from one to another doesn't involve any surprises.
However, throwing usage at user in the case of empty
`--pathspec-from-file` would puzzle because there's nothing wrong with
"usage" (that is, argc/argv array).
On the other hand, throwing usage in the old case also feels bad to me.
While it's less of a puzzle, I (as user) never liked the experience of
comparing my commandline to "usage", trying to spot a difference. Since
it's already known what the error is, it feels a lot better to give that
specific error to user.
Judging from [1] it doesn't seem that showing usage in this case was
important (the patch was to avoid segfault), and it doesn't fit into how
other commands react to empty pathspec (see for example `git add` with a
custom message).
Therefore, I decided to show new error text in both cases. In order to
continue testing for error early, I moved `parse_pathspec()` higher. Now
it happens before `read_cache()` / `hold_locked_index()` /
`setup_work_tree()`, which shouldn't cause any issues.

A user discovered a case where they had a stack of 20 simple commits to

then error out with a pair of "Could not execute the todo command" and
"Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
merge" messages.
Their steps actually made use of the -i flag, but I switched it over to
-m to make it simpler to trigger the bug. With that flag, it bisects
back to commit 68aa495b59 (rebase: implement --merge via the

change the -m flag to --keep-empty, then the problem persists and will

After playing with the testcase for a bit, I discovered that added
--exec "sleep 1" to the command line makes the rebase succeed, making me
suspect there is some kind of discard and reloading of caches that lead
us to believe that something is stat dirty, but I didn't succeed in

check-ignore has two different modes, and neither of these modes has an
implementation that matches the documentation. These modes differ in
whether they just print paths or whether they also print the final
pattern matched by the path. The fix is different for both modes, so
I'll discuss both separately.
=== First (default) mode ===
The first mode is documented as:
For each pathname given via the command-line or from a file via
--stdin, check whether the file is excluded by .gitignore (or other
input files to the exclude mechanism) and output the path if it is
excluded.
However, it fails to do this because it did not account for negated
patterns. Commands other than check-ignore verify exclusion rules via
calling
... -> treat_one_path() -> is_excluded() -> last_matching_pattern()
while check-ignore has a call path of the form:
... -> check_ignore() -> last_matching_pattern()
The fact that the latter does not include the call to is_excluded()
means that it is susceptible to to messing up negated patterns (since
that is the only significant thing is_excluded() adds over
last_matching_pattern()). Unfortunately, we can't make it just call
is_excluded(), because the same codepath is used by the verbose mode
which needs to know the matched pattern in question. This brings us
to...
=== Second (verbose) mode ===
The second mode, known as verbose mode, references the first in the
documentation and says:
Also output details about the matching pattern (if any) for each
given pathname. For precedence rules within and between exclude
sources, see gitignore(5).
The "Also" means it will print patterns that match the exclude rules as
noted for the first mode, and also print which pattern matches. Unless
more information is printed than just pathname and pattern (which is not
done), this definition is somewhat ill-defined and perhaps even
self-contradictory for negated patterns: A path which matches a negated
exclude pattern is NOT excluded and thus shouldn't be printed by the
former logic, while it certainly does match one of the explicit patterns
and thus should be printed by the latter logic.
=== Resolution ==
Since the second mode exists to find out which pattern matches given
paths, and showing the user a pattern that begins with a '!' is
sufficient for them to figure out whether the pattern is excluded, the
existing behavior is desirable -- we just need to update the
documentation to match the implementation (i.e. it is about printing
which pattern is matched by paths, not about showing which paths are
excluded).
For the first or default mode, users just want to know whether a pattern
is excluded. As such, the existing documentation is desirable; change
the implementation to match the documented behavior.
Finally, also adjust a few tests in t0008 that were caught up by this
discrepancy in how negated paths were handled.

Two related changes, with separate rationale for each:
Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because:
* 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used
for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used
in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones
given that we are making it the default.
* 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is.
* the directory where state is stored is not called
.git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge.
Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because:
* Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point.
* Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the
documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read
it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large
burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very
careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces
annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems.
* Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a
backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the
alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user
tries to explain to another what they are doing.
* While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am
is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools
for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too.
* The directory where state is stored has never been called
.git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply.
For all the reasons listed above:
* Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names
* Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names
to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere
(e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation)
* Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply
* Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new
backend names for us as well.

In the past, we had different prompts for different types of rebases:
REBASE: for am-based rebases
REBASE-m: for merge-based rebases
REBASE-i: for interactive-based rebases
It's not clear why this distinction was necessary or helpful; when the
prompt was added in commit e75201963f ("Improve bash prompt to detect
various states like an unfinished merge", 2007-09-30), it simply added
these three different types. Perhaps there was a useful purpose back
then, but there have been some changes:
* The merge backend was deleted after being implemented on top of the
interactive backend, causing the prompt for merge-based rebases to
change from REBASE-m to REBASE-i.
* The interactive backend is used for multiple different types of
non-interactive rebases, so the "-i" part of the prompt doesn't
really mean what it used to.
* Rebase backends have gained more abilities and have a great deal of
overlap, sometimes making it hard to distinguish them.
* Behavioral differences between the backends have also been ironed
out.
* We want to change the default backend from am to interactive, which
means people would get "REBASE-i" by default if we didn't change
the prompt, and only if they specified --am or --whitespace or -C
would they get the "REBASE" prompt.
* In the future, we plan to have "--whitespace", "-C", and even "--am"
run the interactive backend once it can handle everything the
am-backend can.
For all these reasons, make the prompt for any type of rebase just be
"REBASE".

In the past, we dis-allowed rebases using the interactive backend from
performing a fast-forward to short-circuit the rebase operation. This
made sense for explicitly interactive rebases and some implicitly
interactive rebases, but certainly became overly stringent when the
merge backend was re-implemented via the interactive backend.
Just as the am-based rebase has always had to disable the fast-forward
based on a variety of conditions or flags (e.g. --signoff, --whitespace,
etc.), we need to do the same but now with a few more options. However,
continuing to use REBASE_FORCE for tracking this is problematic because
the interactive backend used it for a different purpose. (When
REBASE_FORCE wasn't set, the interactive backend would not fast-forward
the whole series but would fast-forward individual "pick" commits at the
beginning of the todo list, and then a squash or something would cause
it to start generating new commits.) So, introduce a new
allow_preemptive_ff flag contained within cmd_rebase() and use it to
track whether we are going to allow a pre-emptive fast-forward that
short-circuits the whole rebase.

t3432 had several stress tests for can_fast_forward(), whose intent was
to ensure we were using the optimization of just fast forwarding when
possible. However, these tests verified that fast forwards had happened
based on the output that rebase printed to the terminal. We can instead
test more directly that we actually fast-forwarded by checking the
reflog, which also has the side effect of making the tests applicable
for the merge/interactive backend.
This change does lose the distinction between "noop" and "noop-force",
but as stated in commit c9efc21683 ("t3432: test for --no-ff's
interaction with fast-forward", 2019-08-27) which introduced that
distinction: "These tests aren't supposed to endorse the status quo,
just test for what we're currently doing.".
This change does not actually run these tests with the merge/interactive
backend; instead this is just a preparatory commit. A subsequent commit
which fixes can_fast_forward() to work with that backend will then also
change t3432 to add tests of that backend as well.

restrict_revision in the original shell script was an excluded revision
range. It is also treated that way by the am-backend. In the
conversion from shell to C (see commit 6ab54d17be ("rebase -i:
implement the logic to initialize $revisions in C", 2018-08-28)), the
interactive-backend accidentally treated it as a positive revision
rather than a negated one.
This was missed as there were no tests in the testsuite that tested an
interactive rebase with fork-point behavior.

When the merge backend was re-implemented on top of the interactive
backend, the output of rebase --merge changed a little. This change
allowed this test to be simplified, though it wasn't noticed until now.

As established in the previous commit and commit b00bf1c9a8
(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.

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

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 b00bf1c9a8 (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 00b8be5a4d ("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.
