d4990c4b2f notes.c: Use two newlines (instead of one) when concatenating notes
When using combine_notes_concatenate() to concatenate notes, it currently
ensures exactly one newline character between the given notes. However,
when using builtin/notes.c:create_note() to concatenate notes (e.g. by
'git notes append'), it adds a newline character to the trailing newline
of the preceding notes object, thus resulting in _two_ newlines (aka. a
blank line) separating contents of the two notes.

This patch brings combine_notes_concatenate() into consistency with
builtin/notes.c:create_note(), by ensuring exactly _two_ newline characters
between concatenated notes.

The patch also changes a few notes-related selftests accordingly.

e6c111b4c0 unpack_trees: group error messages by type
When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
  (i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),

Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for
which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost
identical errors.

As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be
done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

cd035b1cef rebase -i: add exec command to launch a shell command
The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation
command) at given points in history.

The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is
stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix
the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue".

This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust
enough to deal with lines like

  exec >"file    name with many spaces"

in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from
each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the
whitespace layout.

938791cd01 git-rebase--interactive.sh: use printf instead of echo to print commit message
On systems with an echo which defaults to the XSI-conformant behavior
(Solaris, or others using Ksh), echo will interpret certain backslashed
characters as control sequences.  This can cause a problem for interactive
rebase when it is used to rebase commits whose commit "subject" (the first
line) contains any of these backslashed sequences.  In this case, echo will
substitute the control sequence for the backslashed characters and either
the rebased commit message will differ from the original, or the rebase
process will fail.  Neither is desirable.

So work around this issue by replacing the echo statements used to print
out portions of the commit message, with printf.

Also, add a test to test for this breakage.

b096374f4a rebase -i: Abort cleanly if new base cannot be checked out
Untracked content in the working tree may prevent rebase -i from checking out
the new base onto which it wants to replay commits, if the new base commit
includes files at those (now untracked) paths. Currently, rebase -i dies
uncleanly in this situation, updating ORIG_HEAD and leaving a useless
.git/rebase-merge directory, with which the user can do nothing useful except
rebase --abort. Make rebase -i abort the procedure itself instead, as
non-interactive rebase already does, and add a test for this behavior.

cddb42d2c5 rebase -i -p: document shortcomings
The rebase --preserve-merges facility presents a list of commits
in its instruction sheet and uses a separate table to keep
track of their parents.  Unfortunately, in practice this means
that with -p after most attempts to rearrange patches, some
commits have the "wrong" parent and the resulting history is
rarely what the caller expected.

Yes, it would be nice to fix that.  But first, add a warning to the
manual to help the uninitiated understand what is going on.

b499549401 Teach rebase the --no-ff option.
For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.

For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in
the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits.

--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges.  Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the
committer time is different).  This obviates the need to revert the
reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly.  Added an
addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to
use --no-ff to handle it.

6bdcd0d2fc rebase -i: Retain user-edited commit messages after squash/fixup conflicts
When a squash/fixup fails due to a conflict, the user is required to
edit the commit message.  Previously, if further squash/fixup commands
followed the conflicting squash/fixup, this user-edited message was
discarded and a new automatically-generated commit message was
suggested.

Change the handling of conflicts within squash/fixup command series:
Whenever the user is required to intervene, consider the resulting
commit to be a new basis for the following squash/fixups and use its
commit message in later suggested combined commit messages.

f69e836fab Fix tests breaking when checkout path contains shell metacharacters
This fixes the remainder of the issues where the test script itself is at
fault for failing when the git checkout path contains whitespace or other
shell metacharacters.

The majority of git svn tests used the idiom

  test_expect_success "title" "test script using $svnrepo"

These were changed to have the test script in single-quotes:

  test_expect_success "title" 'test script using "$svnrepo"'

which unfortunately makes the patch appear larger than it really is.

One consequence of this change is that in the verbose test output the
value of $svnrepo (and in some cases other variables, too) is no
longer expanded, i.e. previously we saw

  * expecting success:
	test script using /path/to/git/t/trash/svnrepo

but now it is:

  * expecting success:
	test script using "$svnrepo"

82ebb0b6ec add test_cmp function for test scripts
Many scripts compare actual and expected output using
"diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows
how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff
understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure.

This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".

On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do:

  GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test
