merge-base: teach "--fork-point" mode
The "git pull --rebase" command computes the fork point of the
branch being rebased using the reflog entries of the "base" branch
(typically a remote-tracking branch) the branch's work was based on,
in order to cope with the case in which the "base" branch has been
rewound and rebuilt. For example, if the history looked like this:
o---B1
/
---o---o---B2--o---o---o---Base
\
B3
\
Derived
where the current tip of the "base" branch is at Base, but earlier
fetch observed that its tip used to be B3 and then B2 and then B1
before getting to the current commit, and the branch being rebased
on top of the latest "base" is based on commit B3, it tries to find
B3 by going through the output of "git rev-list --reflog base" (i.e.
Base, B1, B2, B3) until it finds a commit that is an ancestor of the
current tip "Derived".
Internally, we have get_merge_bases_many() that can compute this
with one-go. We would want a merge-base between Derived and a
fictitious merge commit that would result by merging all the
historical tips of "base". When such a commit exist, we should get
a single result, which exactly match one of the reflog entries of
"base".
Teach "git merge-base" a new mode, "--fork-point", to compute
exactly that.

Discussion on fork-point mode
|

-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
After working on the `topic` branch created with `git checkout -b
|
||||
topic origin/master`, the history of remote-tracking branch
|
||||
`origin/master` may have been rewound and rebuilt, leading to a
|
||||
history of this shape:
|
||||
|
||||
o---B1
|
||||
/
|
||||
---o---o---B2--o---o---o---B (origin/master)
|
||||
\
|
||||
B3
|
||||
\
|
||||
Derived (topic)
|
||||
|
||||
where `origin/master` used to point at commits B3, B2, B1 and now it
|
||||
points at B, and your `topic` branch was started on top of it back
|
||||
when `origin/master` was at B3. This mode uses the reflog of
|
||||
`origin/master` to find B3 as the fork point, so that the `topic`
|
||||
can be rebased on top of the updated `origin/master` by:
|
||||
|
||||
$ fork_point=$(git merge-base --fork-point origin/master topic)
|
||||
$ git rebase --onto origin/master $fork_point topic
