It was determined on the mailing list, that it makes more sense for a
"squash" to keep the author of the first commit as the author for the
result of the squash.
Make it so.

When squashing, rebase -i did not prevent fast forwards. This could
happen when picking some other commit than the first one, and then
squashing the first commit. So do not allow fast forwards when
squashing.

Here-text to create fake-editor did not use <<\EOF but <<EOF,
but there was no point doing so, as it quoted all the variables
anyway. Simplify it.
Also futureproof the special mode to edit COMMIT_EDITMSG file;
it is interested in editing the COMMIT_EDITMSG file in any
GIT_DIR; GIT_DIR may be given as an absolute path.

When calling "git rebase -i <upstream> <branch>", git should switch
to <branch> first. This worked before, but I broke it by my
"Shut git rebase -i up" patch.
Fix that, and add a test to make sure that it does not break again.

Non-interactive rebase had this from the beginning -- match it by
using --cherry-pick option to rev-list.

When a squashing merge failed, the first commit would not be replaced,
due to "git reset --soft" being called with an unmerged index.

Sometimes you want to squash more than two commits. Before this patch,
the editor was fired up for each squash command. Now the editor is
started only with the last squash command.

After interruption, be that an edit, or a conflicting commit, reset
the variables VERBOSE, STRATEGY and PRESERVE_MERGES, so that the
user does not have to respecify them with "rebase --continue".

Non-interactive rebase requires the working tree to be clean, but
applies what is in the index without requiring the user to do it
herself. Imitate that, but (since we are interactive, after all)
fire up an editor with the commit message.
It also fixes a subtle bug: a forgotten "continue" was removed, which
led to an infinite loop when continuing without remaining patches.
Both issues noticed by Frank Lichtenheld.

The option "-p" (or long "--preserve-merges") makes it possible to
rebase side branches including merges, without straightening the
history.
Example:
X
\
A---M---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
When the current HEAD is "B", "git rebase -i -p --onto Q O" will yield
X
\
---o---O---P---Q---A'---M'---B'
Note that this will
- _not_ touch X [*1*], it does
- _not_ work without the --interactive flag [*2*], it does
- _not_ guess the type of the merge, but blindly uses recursive or
whatever strategy you provided with "-s <strategy>" for all merges it
has to redo, and it does
- _not_ make use of the original merge commit via git-rerere.
*1*: only commits which reach a merge base between <upstream> and HEAD
are reapplied. The others are kept as-are.
*2*: git-rebase without --interactive is inherently patch based (at
least at the moment), and therefore merges cannot be preserved.

If your rebase succeeded, the HEAD's reflog will still show the whole
mess, but "<branchname>@{1}" now shows the state _before_ the rebase,
so that you can reset (or compare) the original and the rebased
revisions more easily.

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
