rebase--helper: add a builtin helper for interactive rebases Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX. Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop. To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start *somewhere*. The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most affected by the performance penalties mentioned above. In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper. Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the technical debt. Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient --ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.

Originally, we adjusted the output of `git log <options>` using a simple sed script. Over the course of the years, the code became more complicated.

Let's just re-implement the todo script generation in plain C, using the revision machinery directly. This is substantially faster, improving the speed relative to the shell script version of the interactive rebase from 2x to 3x on Windows. Note that the rearrange_squash() function in git-rebase--interactive relied on the fact that we set the "format" variable to the config setting rebase.instructionFormat. Relying on a side effect like this is no good, hence we explicitly perform that assignment (possibly again) in rearrange_squash().

While empty log messages are frowned upon, sometimes one finds them in older repositories (e.g. translated from another VCS [0]), or have other reasons for desiring them. The option is available in git-commit and git-cherry-pick, so it is natural to make other git tools play nicely with them. Adding this as an option allows the default to be "give the user a chance to fix", while not interrupting the user's workflow otherwise [1]. [0]: https://stackoverflow.com/q/8542304 [1]: https://public-inbox.org/git/7vd33afqjh.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org/ To implement this, add a new --allow-empty-message flag.

The reimplemented logic also happens to fix a bug where commented-out lines (representing empty patches) were dropped by the previous code. While at it, clarify how the fixup/squash feature works in `git rebase -i`'s man page.

sequencer: improve config handling The previous config handling relied on global variables, called git_default_config() even when the key had already been handled by git_sequencer_config() and did not initialize the diff configuration variables. Improve this by: i) loading the default values for message cleanup and gpg signing of commits into struct replay_opts; ii) restructuring the code to return immediately once a key is handled; and iii) calling git_diff_basic_config(). Note that unfortunately it is not possible to return early if the key is handled by git_gpg_config() as it does not indicate to the caller if the key has been handled or not. The sequencer should probably have been calling git_diff_basic_config() before as it creates a patch when there are conflicts. The shell version uses 'diff-tree' to create the patch so calling git_diff_basic_config() should match that. Although 'git commit' calls git_diff_ui_config() I don't think the output of print_commit_summary() is affected by anything that is loaded by that as print_commit_summary() always turns on rename detection so would ignore the value in the user's configuration anyway. The other values loaded by git_diff_ui_config() are about the formatting of patches so are not relevant to print_commit_summary().

On platforms where shell scripting is not native, this can be a serious drag. And it opens the door for incompatibilities between platforms when it comes to shell scripting or to Unix-y commands. Let's just re-implement the todo script generation in plain C, using the revision machinery directly. This is substantially faster, improving the speed relative to the shell script version of the interactive rebase from 2x to 3x on Windows. Note that the rearrange_squash() function in git-rebase--interactive relied on the fact that we set the "format" variable to the config setting rebase.instructionFormat. Relying on a side effect like this is no good, hence we explicitly perform that assignment (possibly again) in rearrange_squash().

rebase -i: check for missing commits in the rebase--helper In particular on Windows, where shell scripts are even more expensive than on MacOSX or Linux, it makes sense to move a loop that forks Git at least once for every line in the todo list into a builtin.

rebase -i: skip unnecessary picks using the rebase--helper In particular on Windows, where shell scripts are even more expensive than on MacOSX or Linux, it makes sense to move a loop that forks Git at least once for every line in the todo list into a builtin. Note: The original code did not try to skip unnecessary picks of root commits but punts instead (probably --root was not considered common enough of a use case to bother optimizing). We do the same, for now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

rebase -i: rearrange fixup/squash lines using the rebase--helper This operation has quadratic complexity, which is especially painful on Windows, where shell scripts are *already* slow (mainly due to the overhead of the POSIX emulation layer). Let's reimplement this with linear complexity (using a hash map to match the commits' subject lines) for the common case; Sadly, the fixup/squash feature's design neglected performance considerations, allowing arbitrary prefixes (read: `fixup! hell` will match the commit subject `hello world`), which means that we are stuck with quadratic performance in the worst case. The reimplemented logic also happens to fix a bug where commented-out lines (representing empty patches) were dropped by the previous code. While at it, clarify how the fixup/squash feature works in `git rebase -i`'s man page.

rebase -i -x: add exec commands via the rebase--helper Recent work on `git-rebase--interactive` aims to convert shell code to C.

rebase--helper: add a builtin helper for interactive rebases Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX. Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop. To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start *somewhere*. The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most affected by the performance penalties mentioned above. In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper. Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the technical debt. Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient --ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.
