39e415cfd1 Merge branch 'nd/cherry-pick-quit-fix'
"git cherry-pick --quit" failed to remove CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even
though we won't be in a cherry-pick session after it returns, which
has been corrected.

3e7dd99208 cherry-pick: fix --quit not deleting CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
--quit is supposed to be --abort but without restoring HEAD. Leaving
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD behind could make other commands mistake that
cherry-pick is still ongoing (e.g. "git commit --amend" will refuse to
work). Clean it too.

For --abort, this job of deleting CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is on "git reset"
so we don't need to do anything else. But let's add extra checks in
--abort tests to confirm.

d94cecfe75 Merge branch 'jk/empty-pick-fix'
Handling of an empty range by "git cherry-pick" was inconsistent
depending on how the range ended up to be empty, which has been
corrected.

8530c73915 sequencer: handle empty-set cases consistently
If the user gives us a set that prepare_revision_walk()
takes to be empty, like:

  git cherry-pick base..base

then we report an error. It's nonsense, and there's nothing
to pick.

But if they use revision options that later cull the list,
like:

  git cherry-pick --author=nobody base~2..base

then we quietly create an empty todo list and return
success.

Arguably either behavior is acceptable, but we should
definitely be consistent about it. Reporting an error
seems to match the original intent, which dates all the way
back to 7e2bfd3f99 (revert: allow cherry-picking more than
one commit, 2010-06-02). That in turn was trying to match
the single-commit case that existed before then (and which
continues to issue an error).

1e41229d96 sequencer: make sequencer abort safer
In contrast to "git am --abort", a sequencer abort did not check
whether the current HEAD is the one that is expected. This can lead
to loss of work (when not spotted and resolved using reflog before
the garbage collector chimes in).

This behavior is now changed by mimicking "git am --abort".  The
abortion is done but HEAD is not changed when the current HEAD is
not the expected HEAD.

A new file "sequencer/abort-safety" is added to save the expected
HEAD.

The new behavior is only active when --abort is invoked on multiple
picks. The problem does not occur for the single-pick case because
it is handled differently.

5ed75e2a3f cherry-pick: don't forget -s on failure
In case 'git cherry-pick -s <commit>' failed, the user had to use 'git
commit -s' (i.e. state the -s option again), which is easy to forget
about.  Instead, write the signed-off-by line early, so plain 'git
commit' will have the same result.

Also update 'git commit -s', so that in case there is already a relevant
Signed-off-by line before the Conflicts: line, it won't add one more at
the end of the message. If there is no such line, then add it before the
the Conflicts: line.

bf71009e53 t3502, t3510: clarify cherry-pick -m failure
The "cherry-pick persists opts correctly" test in t3510
(cherry-pick-sequence) can cause some confusion, because the command
actually has two points of failure:

1. "-m 1" is specified on the command-line despite the base commit
   "initial" not being a merge-commit.
2. The revision range indicates that there will be a conflict that
   needs to be resolved.

Although the former error is trapped, and cherry-pick die()s with the
exit status 128, the reader may be distracted by the latter.  Fix this
by changing the revision range to something that wouldn't cause a
conflict.  Additionally, explicitly check the exit code in
"cherry-pick a non-merge with -m should fail" in t3502
(cherry-pick-merge) to reassure the reader that this failure has
nothing to do with the sequencer itself.

lines that are too long to fit on the commit-id-shaped buffer we

addition to literal SHA-1 hexes, you can now safely use expressions
like the following in the instruction sheet:

218b65fbf9 revert: do not remove state until sequence is finished
As v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~4 (2011-08-04) explains, git cherry-pick removes
the sequencer state just before applying the final patch.  In the
single-pick case, that was a good thing, since --abort and --continue
work fine without access to such state and removing it provides a
signal that git should not complain about the need to clobber it ("a
cherry-pick or revert is already in progress") in sequences like the
following:

	git cherry-pick foo
	git read-tree -m -u HEAD; # forget that; let's try a different one
	git cherry-pick bar

After the recent patch "allow single-pick in the middle of cherry-pick
sequence" we don't need that hack any more.  In the new regime, a
traditional "git cherry-pick <commit>" command never looks at
.git/sequencer, so we do not need to cripple "git cherry-pick
<commit>..<commit>" for it any more.

So now you can run "git cherry-pick --abort" near the end of a
multi-pick sequence and it will abort the entire sequence, instead of
misbehaving and aborting just the final commit.

7f13334e07 revert: pass around rev-list args in already-parsed form
Since 7e2bfd3f (revert: allow cherry-picking more than one commit,
2010-07-02), the pick/revert machinery has kept track of the set of
commits to be cherry-picked or reverted using commit_argc and
commit_argv variables, storing the corresponding command-line
parameters.

Future callers as other commands are built in (am, rebase, sequencer)
may find it easier to pass rev-list options to this machinery in
already-parsed form.  Teach cmd_cherry_pick and cmd_revert to parse
the rev-list arguments in advance and pass the commit set to
pick_revisions() as a rev_info structure.

Original patch by Jonathan, tweaks and test from Ram.

093a309136 revert: allow cherry-pick --continue to commit before resuming
When "git cherry-pick ..bar" encounters conflicts, permit the operator
to use cherry-pick --continue after resolving them as a shortcut for
"git commit && git cherry-pick --continue" to record the resolution
and carry on with the rest of the sequence.

This improves the analogy with "git rebase" (in olden days --continue
was the way to preserve authorship when a rebase encountered
conflicts) and fits well with a general UI goal of making "git cmd
--continue" save humans the trouble of deciding what to do next.

Example: after encountering a conflict from running "git cherry-pick
foo bar baz":

	CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in main.c
	error: could not apply f78a8d98c... bar!
	hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths
	hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
	hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'

We edit main.c to resolve the conflict, mark it acceptable with "git
add main.c", and can run "cherry-pick --continue" to resume the
sequence.

	$ git cherry-pick --continue
	[editor opens to confirm commit message]
	[master 78c8a8c98] bar!
	 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
	[master 87ca8798c] baz!
	 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

This is done for both codepaths to pick multiple commits and a single
commit.

f80a87262a revert: rename --reset option to --quit
The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the
sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce
--reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name.
Change it now, while we still have the time.

The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've
long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when
you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit.  Mnemonic:
this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using ---
we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure
and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state.

The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact.  We
might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though.

Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit)
instead of --reset.  While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions
of these operations in "-h" output.

Before:

	--reset		forget the current operation
	--continue	continue the current operation

After:

	--quit		end revert or cherry-pick sequence
	--continue	resume revert or cherry-pick sequence

5a5d80f4ca revert: Introduce --continue to continue the operation
Introduce a new "git cherry-pick --continue" command which uses the
information in ".git/sequencer" to continue a cherry-pick that stopped
because of a conflict or other error.  It works by dropping the first
instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the remaining
cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and "-X") from the
initial command listed in ".git/sequencer/opts".

So now you can do:

  $ git cherry-pick -Xpatience foo..bar
  ... description conflict in commit moo ...
  $ git cherry-pick --continue
  error: 'cherry-pick' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
  fatal: failed to resume cherry-pick
  $ echo resolved >conflictingfile
  $ git add conflictingfile && git commit
  $ git cherry-pick --continue; # resumes with the commit after "moo"

During the "git commit" stage, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD will aid by providing
the commit message from the conflicting "moo" commit.  Note that the
cherry-pick mechanism has no control at this stage, so the user is
free to violate anything that was specified during the first
cherry-pick invocation.  For example, if "-x" was specified during the
first cherry-pick invocation, the user is free to edit out the message
during commit time.  Note that the "--signoff" option specified at
cherry-pick invocation time is not reflected in the commit message
provided by CHERRY_PICK_HEAD; the user must take care to add
"--signoff" during the "git commit" invocation.

21afd08062 revert: Don't implicitly stomp pending sequencer operation
Protect the user from forgetting about a pending sequencer operation
by immediately erroring out when an existing cherry-pick or revert
operation is in progress like:

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git cherry-pick moo
  error: .git/sequencer already exists
  hint: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress
  hint: Use --reset to forget about it
  fatal: cherry-pick failed

A naive version of this would break the following established ways of
working:

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git reset --hard  # I actually meant "moo" when I said "foo"
  $ git cherry-pick moo

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git commit # commit the resolution
  $ git cherry-pick moo # New operation

However, the previous patches "reset: Make reset remove the sequencer
state" and "revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are
pending" make sure that this does not happen.

2d27daa91d revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are pending
When cherry-pick or revert is called on a list of commits, and a
conflict encountered somewhere in the middle, the data in
".git/sequencer" is required to continue the operation.  However, when
a conflict is encountered in the very last commit, the user will have
to "continue" after resolving the conflict and committing just so that
the sequencer state is removed.  This is how the current "rebase -i"
script works as well.

  $ git cherry-pick foo..bar
  ... conflict encountered while picking "bar" ...
  $ echo "resolved" >problematicfile
  $ git add problematicfile
  $ git commit
  $ git cherry-pick --continue # This would be a no-op

Change this so that the sequencer state is cleared when a conflict is
encountered in the last commit.  Incidentally, this patch makes sure
that some existing tests don't break when features like "--reset" and
"--continue" are implemented later in the series.

A better way to implement this feature is to get the last "git commit"
to remove the sequencer state.  However, that requires tighter
coupling between "git commit" and the sequencer, a goal that can be
pursued once the sequencer is made more general.

26ae337be1 revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state
To explicitly remove the sequencer state for a fresh cherry-pick or
revert invocation, introduce a new subcommand called "--reset" to
remove the sequencer state.

Take the opportunity to publicly expose the sequencer paths, and a
generic function called "remove_sequencer_state" that various git
programs can use to remove the sequencer state in a uniform manner;
"git reset" uses it later in this series.  Introducing this public API
is also in line with our long-term goal of eventually factoring out
functions from revert.c into a generic commit sequencer.

04d3d3cfc4 revert: Save data for continuing after conflict resolution
Ever since v1.7.2-rc1~4^2~7 (revert: allow cherry-picking more than
one commit, 2010-06-02), a single invocation of "git cherry-pick" or
"git revert" can perform picks of several individual commits.  To
implement features like "--continue" to continue the whole operation,
we will need to store some information about the state and the plan at
the beginning.  Introduce a ".git/sequencer/head" file to store this
state, and ".git/sequencer/todo" file to store the plan.  The head
file contains the SHA-1 of the HEAD before the start of the operation,
and the todo file contains an instruction sheet whose format is
inspired by the format of the "rebase -i" instruction sheet.  As a
result, a typical todo file looks like:

  pick 8537f0e submodule add: test failure when url is not configured
  pick 4d68932 submodule add: allow relative repository path
  pick f22a17e submodule add: clean up duplicated code
  pick 59a5775 make copy_ref globally available

Since SHA-1 hex is abbreviated using an find_unique_abbrev(), it is
unambiguous.  This does not guarantee that there will be no ambiguity
when more objects are added to the repository.

These two files alone are not enough to implement a "--continue" that
remembers the command-line options specified; later patches in the
series save them too.

These new files are unrelated to the existing .git/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD,
which will still be useful while committing after a conflict
resolution.
