In ed32b788c0 (version --build-options: report commit, too, if
possible, 2017-12-15), we introduced code to let `git version
--build-options` report the current commit from which the binaries were
built, if any.
To prevent erroneous commits from being reported (e.g. when unpacking
Git's source code from a .tar.gz file into a subdirectory of a different
Git project, as e.g. git_osx_installer does), we painstakingly set
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES when trying to determine the current commit.
Except that we got the quoting wrong, and that variable therefore does
not have the desired effect.
The issue is that the $(shell) is resolved before the output is stuffed
into the command-line with -DGIT_BUILT_FROM_COMMIT, and therefore is
*not* inside quotes. And thus backslashing the quotes is wrong, as the
quote gets literally inserted into the CEILING_DIRECTORIES variable.
Let's fix that quoting, and while at it, also suppress the unhelpful
message
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
that gets printed to stderr if no current commit could be determined,
and might scare the occasional developer who simply tries to build Git
from scratch.

The commit-graph feature shipped in Git 2.18 has some inconsistencies in
the constants used by the implementation and specified by the format
document.
The commit data chunk uses the key "CDAT" in the file format, but was
previously documented to say "CGET".
The commit data chunk stores commit parents using two 32-bit fields that
typically store the integer position of the parent in the list of commit
ids within the commit-graph file. When a parent does not exist, we had
documented the value 0xffffffff, but implemented the value 0x70000000.
This swap is easy to correct in the documentation, but unfortunately
reduces the number of commits that we can store in the commit-graph.

Implement ref-in-want on the client side so that when a server supports
the "ref-in-want" feature, a client will send "want-ref" lines for each
reference the client wants to fetch. This feature allows clients to
tolerate inconsistencies that exist when a remote repository's refs
change during the course of negotiation.
This allows a client to request to request a particular ref without
specifying the OID of the ref. This means that instead of hitting an
error when a ref no longer points at the OID it did at the beginning of
negotiation, negotiation can continue and the value of that ref will be
sent at the termination of negotiation, just before a packfile is sent.

changes between rounds of negotiation (for example, when different
servers in a load-balancing agreement participate in the same stateless
RPC negotiation). This forms a baseline of comparison to the ref-in-want

Currently, while performing packfile negotiation, clients are only
allowed to specify their desired objects using object ids. This causes
a vulnerability to failure when an object turns non-existent during
negotiation, which may happen if, for example, the desired repository is
provided by multiple Git servers in a load-balancing arrangement and
there exists replication delay.
In order to eliminate this vulnerability, implement the ref-in-want
feature for the 'fetch' command in protocol version 2. This feature
enables the 'fetch' command to support requests in the form of ref names
through a new "want-ref <ref>" parameter. At the conclusion of
negotiation, the server will send a list of all of the wanted references
(as provided by "want-ref" lines) in addition to the generated packfile.

git-rebase.sh wrote strategy options to .git/rebase/merge/strategy_opts

git-rebase--interactive uses sequencer.c to parse that file, and
sequencer.c used split_cmdline() to get the individual strategy options.
After splitting, sequencer.c prefixed each "option" with a double dash,
so, concatenating all its options would result in:
-- --ours -- --renormalize
So, when it ended up calling try_merge_strategy(), that in turn would run
git merge-$strategy -- --ours -- --renormalize $merge_base -- $head $remote
instead of the expected/desired
git merge-$strategy --ours --renormalize $merge_base -- $head $remote

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 commit-graph file ends with a SHA1 hash of the previous contents. If
a commit-graph file has errors but the checksum hash is correct, then we
know that the problem is a bug in Git and not simply file corruption
after-the-fact.
Compute the checksum right away so it is the first error that appears,
and make the message translatable since this error can be "corrected" by
a user by simply deleting the file and recomputing. The rest of the
errors are useful only to developers.
Be sure to continue checking the rest of the file data if the checksum
is wrong. This is important for our tests, as we break the checksum as
we modify bytes of the commit-graph file.
