We are not passing the same args to merge strategies when we are doing an
--interactive rebase as we do with a --merge rebase. The merge strategy
should not need to be aware of which type of rebase is in effect. Add a

rebase backends currently behave differently with empty commit messages,
largely as a side-effect of the different underlying commands on which
they are based. am-based rebases apply commits with an empty commit
message without stopping or requiring the user to specify an extra flag.
(It is interesting to note that am-based rebases are the default rebase
type, and no one has ever requested a --no-allow-empty-message flag to
change this behavior.) merge-based and interactive-based rebases (which
are ultimately based on git-commit), will currently halt on any such
commits and require the user to manually specify what to do with the
commit and continue.
One possible rationale for the difference in behavior is that the purpose
of an "am" based rebase is solely to transplant an existing history, while
an "interactive" rebase is one whose purpose is to polish a series before
making it publishable. Thus, stopping and asking for confirmation for a
possible problem is more appropriate in the latter case. However, there
are two problems with this rationale:
1) merge-based rebases are also non-interactive and there are multiple
types of rebases that use the interactive machinery but are not
explicitly interactive (e.g. when either --rebase-merges or
--keep-empty are specified without --interactive). These rebases are
also used solely to transplant an existing history, and thus also
should default to --allow-empty-message.
2) this rationale only says that the user is more accepting of stopping
in the case of an explicitly interactive rebase, not that stopping
for this particular reason actually makes sense. Exploring whether
it makes sense, requires backing up and analyzing the underlying
commands...
If git-commit did not error out on empty commits by default, accidental
creation of commits with empty messages would be a very common occurrence
(this check has caught me many times). Further, nearly all such empty
commit messages would be considered an accidental error (as evidenced by a
huge amount of documentation across version control systems and in various
blog posts explaining how important commit messages are). A simple check
for what would otherwise be a common error thus made a lot of sense, and
git-commit gained an --allow-empty-message flag for special case
overrides. This has made commits with empty messages very rare.
There are two sources for commits with empty messages for rebase (and
cherry-pick): (a) commits created in git where the user previously
specified --allow-empty-message to git-commit, and (b) commits imported
into git from other version control systems. In case (a), the user has
already explicitly specified that there is something special about this
commit that makes them not want to specify a commit message; forcing them
to re-specify with every cherry-pick or rebase seems more likely to be
infuriating than helpful. In case (b), the commit is highly unlikely to
have been authored by the person who has imported the history and is doing
the rebase or cherry-pick, and thus the user is unlikely to be the
appropriate person to write a commit message for it. Stopping and
expecting the user to modify the commit before proceeding thus seems
counter-productive.
Further, note that while empty commit messages was a common error case for
git-commit to deal with, it is a rare case for rebase (or cherry-pick).
The fact that it is rare raises the question of why it would be worth
checking and stopping on this particular condition and not others. For
example, why doesn't an interactive rebase automatically stop if the
commit message's first line is 2000 columns long, or is missing a blank
line after the first line, or has every line indented with five spaces, or
any number of other myriad problems?
Finally, note that if a user doing an interactive rebase does have the
necessary knowledge to add a message for any such commit and wants to do
so, it is rather simple for them to change the appropriate line from
'pick' to 'reword'. The fact that the subject is empty in the todo list
that the user edits should even serve as a way to notify them.
As far as I can tell, the fact that merge-based and interactive-based
rebases stop on commits with empty commit messages is solely a by-product
of having been based on git-commit. It went without notice for a long
time precisely because such cases are rare. The rareness of this
situation made it difficult to reason about, so when folks did eventually
notice this behavior, they assumed it was there for a good reason and just
added an --allow-empty-message flag. In my opinion, stopping on such
messages not desirable in any of these cases, even the (explicitly)
interactive case.

rebase was taught the --force-rebase option in commit b2f82e05de ("Teach
rebase to rebase even if upstream is up to date", 2009-02-13). This flag
worked for the am and merge backends, but wasn't a valid option for the
interactive backend.
rebase was taught the --no-ff option for interactive rebases in commit
b499549401 ("Teach rebase the --no-ff option.", 2010-03-24), to do the
exact same thing as --force-rebase does for non-interactive rebases. This
commit explicitly documented the fact that --force-rebase was incompatible
with --interactive, though it made --no-ff a synonym for --force-rebase
for non-interactive rebases. The choice of a new option was based on the
fact that "force rebase" didn't sound like an appropriate term for the
interactive machinery.
In commit 6bb4e485cf ("rebase: align variable names", 2011-02-06), the
separate parsing of command line options in the different rebase scripts
was removed, and whether on accident or because the author noticed that
these options did the same thing, the options became synonyms and both
were accepted by all three rebase types.
In commit 2d26d533a0 ("Documentation/git-rebase.txt: -f forces a rebase
that would otherwise be a no-op", 2014-08-12), which reworded the
description of the --force-rebase option, the (no-longer correct) sentence
stating that --force-rebase was incompatible with --interactive was
finally removed.
Finally, as explained at
https://public-inbox.org/git/98279912-0f52-969d-44a6-22242039387f@xiplink.com
In the original discussion around this option [1], at one point I
proposed teaching rebase--interactive to respect --force-rebase
instead of adding a new option [2]. Ultimately --no-ff was chosen as
the better user interface design [3], because an interactive rebase
can't be "forced" to run.
We have accepted both --no-ff and --force-rebase as full synonyms for all
three rebase types for over seven years. Documenting them differently
and in ways that suggest they might not be quite synonyms simply leads to
confusion. Adjust the documentation to match reality.

git rebase has three different types: am, merge, and interactive, all of
which are implemented in terms of separate scripts. am builds on git-am,
merge builds on git-merge-recursive, and interactive builds on
git-cherry-pick. We make use of features in those lower-level commands in
the different rebase types, but those features don't exist in all of the
lower level commands so we have a range of incompatibilities. Previously,
we just accepted nearly any argument and silently ignored whichever ones
weren't implemented for the type of rebase specified. Change this so the
incompatibilities are documented, included in the testsuite, and tested
for at runtime with an appropriate error message shown.
Some exceptions I left out:
* --merge and --interactive are technically incompatible since they are
supposed to run different underlying scripts, but with a few small
changes, --interactive can do everything that --merge can. In fact,
I'll shortly be sending another patch to remove git-rebase--merge and
reimplement it on top of git-rebase--interactive.
* One could argue that --interactive and --quiet are incompatible since
--interactive doesn't implement a --quiet mode (perhaps since
cherry-pick itself does not implement one). However, the interactive
mode is more quiet than the other modes in general with progress
messages, so one could argue that it's already quiet.

The "-l" option is short for "--create-reflog". This has
caused much confusion over the years. Most people expect it
to work as "--list", because that would match the other
"mode" options like -d/--delete and -m/--move, as well as
the similar -l/--list option of git-tag.
Adding to the confusion, using "-l" _appears_ to work as
"--list" in some cases:
$ git branch -l
* master
because the branch command defaults to listing (so even
trying to specify --list in the command above is redundant).
But that may bite the user later when they add a pattern,
like:
$ git branch -l foo
which does not return an empty list, but in fact creates a
new branch (with a reflog, naturally) called "foo".
It's also probably quite uncommon for people to actually use
"-l" to create a reflog. Since 0bee591869 (Enable reflogs by
default in any repository with a working directory.,
2006-12-14), this is the default in non-bare repositories.
So it's rather unfortunate that the feature squats on the
short-and-sweet "-l" (which was only added in 3a4b3f269c
(Create/delete branch ref logs., 2006-05-19), meaning there
were only 7 months where it was actually useful).
Let's deprecate "-l" in hopes of eventually re-purposing it
to "--list".
Note that we issue the warning only when we're not in list
mode. This means that people for whom it works as a happy
accident, namely:
$ git branch -l
master
won't see the warning at all. And when we eventually switch
to it meaning "--list", that will just continue to work.
We do the issue the warning for these important cases:
- when we are actually creating a branch, in case the user
really did mean it as "--create-reflog"
- when we are in some _other_ mode, like deletion. There
the "-l" is a noop for now, but it will eventually
conflict with any other mode request, and the user
should be told that this is changing.

When calling match_line(), callers presently cannot determine the
relative offset of the match because match_line() discards the
'regmatch_t' that contains this information.
Instead, teach match_line() to take in two 'ssize_t's. Fill the first
with the offset of the match produced by the given expression. If
extended, fill the later with the offset of the match produced as if
--invert were given.
For instance, matching "--not -e x" on this line produces a columnar
offset of 0, (i.e., the whole line does not contain an x), but "--invert
--not -e -x" will fill the later ssize_t of the column containing an
"x", because this expression is semantically equivalent to "-e x".
To determine the column for the inverted and non-inverted case, do the
following:
- If matching an atom, the non-inverted column is as given from
match_one_pattern(), and the inverted column is unset.
- If matching a --not, the inverted column and non-inverted column
swap.
- If matching an --and, or --or, the non-inverted column is the
minimum of the two children.
Presently, the existing short-circuiting logic for AND and OR applies as
before. This will change in the following commit when we add options to
configure the --column flag. Taken together, this and the forthcoming
change will always yield the earlier column on a given line.
This patch will become useful when we later pick between the two new
results in order to display the column number of the first match on a
line with --column.
