When no arguments are specified, $switch_to is empty so we end up
passing the empty string to "git merge-base --fork-point", which causes
an error. git-rebase carries on at this point, but in fact we have
failed to apply the fork-point operation.
It turns out that the test in t3400 that was meant to test this didn't
actually need the fork-point behaviour, so enhance it to make sure that
the fork-point is applied correctly. The modified test fails without
the change to git-rebase.sh in this patch.

Commit 15a147e (rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified,
2011-02-09) says:
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.
but that isn't actually the case. Since commit d44e712 (pull: support
rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19), pull has actually
chosen the most recent reflog entry which is an ancestor of the current
branch if it can find one.
Add a '--fork-point' argument to git-rebase that can be used to trigger
this behaviour. This option is turned on by default if no non-option
arguments are specified on the command line, otherwise we treat an
upstream specified on the command-line literally.

rebase: fix run_specific_rebase's use of "return" on FreeBSD
Since a1549e10, git-rebase--am.sh uses the shell's "return" statement, to
mean "return from the current file inclusion", which is POSIXly correct,
but badly interpreted on FreeBSD, which returns from the current
function, hence skips the finish_rebase statement that follows the file
inclusion.
Make the use of "return" portable by using the file inclusion as the last
statement of a function.

This new feature allows a rebase to be executed on a dirty worktree or
index. It works by creating a temporary "dangling merge commit" out
of the worktree and index changes (via 'git stash create'), and
automatically applying it after a successful rebase or abort.
rebase stores the SHA-1 hex of the temporary merge commit, along with
the rest of the rebase state, in either
.git/{rebase-merge,rebase-apply}/autostash depending on the kind of
rebase. Since $state_dir is automatically removed at the end of a
successful rebase or abort, so is the autostash.
The advantage of this approach is that we do not affect the normal
stash's reflogs, making the autostash invisible to the end-user. This
means that you can use 'git stash' during a rebase as usual.
When the autostash application results in a conflict, we push
$state_dir/autostash onto the normal stash and remove $state_dir
ending the rebase. The user can inspect the stash, and pop or drop at
any time.
Most significantly, this feature means that a caller like pull (with
pull.rebase set to true) can easily be patched to remove the
require_clean_work_tree restriction.

On successful completion of a rebase in git-rebase--$backend.sh, the
$backend script cleans up on its own and exits. The cleanup routine
is however, independent of the $backend, and each $backend script
unnecessarily duplicates this work:
rm -rf "$state_dir"
git gc --auto
Prepare git-rebase.sh for later patches that return control from each
$backend script back to us, for performing this generic cleanup
routine. The code that this patch adds is currently unreachable, and
will only start to be used when git-rebase--$backend.sh scripts are
taught to return control in later patches.
Another advantage is that git-rebase.sh can implement a generic
finish_rebase() to possibly do additional tasks in addition to the
cleanup.

When we 'git rebase $upstream', git uses 'rev-parse --verify
$current_branch' to find ORIG_HEAD. But if $current_branch
is ambiguous, 'rev-parse --verify' emits a warning and returns
a SHA1 anyway. When the wrong ambiguous choice is used,
git-rebase fails non-gracefully: it emits a warning about
failing to lock $current_branch, an error about being unable to
checkout $current_branch again, and it might even decide the
rebase is a fast-forward when it is not.
In the 'rebase $upstream' case, we already know the unambiguous
spelling of $current_branch is "HEAD". Fix git-rebase to find
$orig_head unambiguously.
Add a test in t3400-rebase.sh which creates an ambiguous branch
name and rebases it implicitly with 'git rebase $other'.

If there is a conflict to be resolved when applying the first change,
the user will expect a sane index and working tree to get sensible
behaviour from git-diff and friends, so create a sentinel commit with an
empty tree to rebase onto. Automatically squash the sentinel with any
commits rebased directly onto it, so they end up as root commits in
their own right and retain their authorship and commit message.

During an interactive rebase session, it is sometimes desirable to
run tests on each commit in the resulting history. This can be done
by adding "exec <test command>" when editing the insn sheet, but the
command used for testing is often the same for all resulting commits.
By passing "--exec <cmd>" from the command line, automatically add
these "exec" lines after each commit in the final history. To work
well with the --autosquash option, these are added at the end of
each run of "fixup" and "squash".

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.

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

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.
