"git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions
of Git.
* ph/rebase-preserve-all-merges:
rebase --preserve-merges: keep all merge commits including empty ones
Since 90e1818f9a (git-rebase: add keep_empty flag, 2012-04-20)
'git rebase --preserve-merges' fails to preserve empty merge commits
unless --keep-empty is also specified. Merge commits should be
preserved in order to preserve the structure of the rebased graph,
even if the merge commit does not introduce changes to the parent.
Teach rebase not to drop merge commits only because they are empty.
A special case which is not handled by this change is for a merge commit
whose parents are now the same commit because all the previous different
parents have been dropped as a result of this rebase or some previous
operation.

When the todo sheet of interactive rebase instructs to run a non-existing
command, the operation stops with the following error:
Execution failed: no-such
You can fix the problem, and then run
git rebase --continue
fatal: 'rebase' appears to be a git command, but we were not
able to execute it. Maybe git-rebase is broken?
The reason is that the shell that attempted to run the command exits with
code 127. rebase--interactive just forwards this code to the caller (the
git wrapper). But our smart run-command infrastructure detects this
special exit code and turns it into ENOENT, which in turn is interpreted
by the git wrapper as if the external command that it just executed did
not exist. This is finally translated to the misleading last two lines in
error message cited above.
Fix it by translating the error code before it is forwarded.

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".

"git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not introduce

* nh/empty-rebase:
git-rebase: add keep_empty flag
git-cherry-pick: Add test to validate new options
git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits option
git-cherry-pick: add allow-empty option
Add a command line switch to git-rebase to allow a user the ability to specify
that they want to keep any commits in a series that are empty.
When git-rebase's type is am, then this option will automatically keep any
commit that has a tree object identical to its parent.
This patch changes the default behavior of interactive rebases as well. With
this patch, git-rebase -i will produce a revision set passed to
git-revision-editor, in which empty commits are commented out. Empty commits
may be kept manually by uncommenting them. If the new --keep-empty option is
used in an interactive rebase the empty commits will automatically all be
uncommented in the editor.

Giving "--continue" to a conflicted "rebase -i" session skipped a commit
that only results in changes to submodules.
By John Keeping
* jk/rebase-i-submodule-conflict-only:
rebase -i continue: don't skip commits that only change submodules
When git-rebase--interactive stops due to a conflict and the only change
to be committed is in a submodule, the test for whether there is
anything to be committed ignores the staged submodule change. This
leads rebase to skip creating the commit for the change.
While unstaged submodule changes should be ignored to avoid needing to
update submodules during a rebase, it is safe to remove the
--ignore-submodules option to diff-index because --cached ensures that
it is only checking the index. This was discussed in [1] and a test is
included to ensure that unstaged changes are still ignored correctly.

Hi, I was using git rebase -i for some time now and never occured to

Nelson's patch was to stress the fact that the lines in the insn sheet can

"commit --amend" could fail in cases like the user empties the commit
message, or pre-commit failed. When it fails, rebase should be
interrupted and alert the user, rather than ignoring the error and
continue on rebasing. This also gives users a way to gracefully
interrupt a "reword" if they decided they actually want to do an "edit",
or even "rebase --abort".

The insn sheet used by "rebase -i" is designed to be easily editable by
any text editor, but an editor that is specifically meant for it (but
is otherwise unsuitable for editing regular text files) could be useful
by allowing drag & drop reordering in a GUI environment, for example.
The GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable and/or the sequence.editor
configuration variable can be used to specify such an editor, while
allowing the usual editor to be used to edit commit log messages. As
usual, the environment variable takes precedence over the configuration
variable.
It is envisioned that other "sequencer" based tools will use the same

After an "exec false" stops the rebase and gives the control back to
the user, if changes are added to the index, "rebase --continue" fails
with this message, which may technically be correct, but does not point
at the real problem:
.../git-rebase--interactive: line 774: .../.git/rebase-merge/author-script: No such file or directory
We could try auto-amending HEAD, but this goes against the logic of
.git/rebase-merge/author-script (see also the testcase 'auto-amend only
edited commits after "edit"' in t3404-rebase-interactive.sh) to
auto-amend something the user hasn't explicitely asked to edit.
Instead of doing anything automatically, detect the situation and give a
clean error message. While we're there, also clarify the error message in
case '. "$author_script"' fails, which now corresponds to really weird
senario where the author script exists but can't be read.

Consider this graph:
D---E (topic, HEAD)
/ /
A---B---C (master)
\
F (topic2)
and the following three commands:
1. git rebase -i -p A
2. git rebase -i -p --onto F A
3. git rebase -i -p B
Currently, (1) and (2) will pick B, D, C, and E onto A and F,
respectively. However, (3) will only pick D and E onto B, but not C,
which is inconsistent with (1) and (2). As a result, we cannot modify C
during the interactive-rebase.
The current behavior also creates a bug if we do:
4. git rebase -i -p C
In (4), E is never picked. And since interactive-rebase resets "HEAD"
to "onto" before picking any commits, D and E are lost after the
interactive-rebase.
This patch fixes the inconsistency and bug by ensuring that all children
of upstream are always picked. This essentially reverts the commit:
d80d6bc146
When compiling the todo list, commits reachable from "upstream" should
never be skipped under any conditions. Otherwise, we lose the ability
to modify them like (3), and create a bug like (4).
Two of the tests contain a scenario like (3). Since the new behavior
added more commits for picking, these tests need to be updated to
account for the additional pick lines. A new test has also been added
for (4).

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.

'git rebase' uses 'git merge' to preserve merges (-p). This preserves
the original merge commit correctly, except when the original merge
commit was created by 'git merge --no-ff'. In this case, 'git rebase'
will fail to preserve the merge, because during 'git rebase', 'git
merge' will simply fast-forward and skip the commit. For example:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q
If we try to rebase M onto P, we lose the merge commit and this happens:
A---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
To correct this, we simply do a "no fast-forward" on all merge commits
when rebasing. Since by the time we decided to do a 'git merge' inside
'git rebase', it means there was a merge originally, so 'git merge'
should always create a merge commit regardless of what the merge
branches look like. This way, when rebase M onto P from the above
example, we get:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q

Before calling 'git cherry-pick', interactive rebase currently checks
if we are rebasing from root (if --root was passed). If we are, the
'--ff' flag to 'git cherry-pick' is omitted. However, according to the
documentation for 'git cherry-pick --ff', "If the current HEAD is the
same as the parent of the cherry-picked commit, then a fast forward to
this commit will be performed.". This should never be the case when
rebasing from root, so it should not matter whether --ff is passed, so
simplify the code by removing the condition.

Extract the code for writing the state to rebase-apply/ or

later make both interactive and non-interactive rebase remember the
options used.
Note that non-interactive rebase stores the sha1 of the original head
in a file called orig-head, while interactive rebase stores it in a
file called head. Change this by writing to orig-head in both
cases. When reading, try to read from orig-head. If that fails, read
from head instead. This protects users who upgraded git while they had
an ongoing interactive rebase, while still making it possible to
remove the code that reads from head at some point in the future.
