A rebase started with 'git rebase <A> <B>' is conceptually to first
checkout <B> and run 'git rebase <A>' starting from that state. 'git
rebase --abort' in the middle of such a rebase should take us back to
the state we checked out <B>.
This used to work, even when <B> is a tag that points at a commit,
until Git 2.20.0 when the command was reimplemented in C. The command
now complains that the tag object itself cannot be checked out, which
may be technically correct but is not what the user asked to do.
Fix this old regression by using lookup_commit_reference_by_name()
when parsing <B>. The scripted version did not need to peel the tag
because the commands it passed the tag to (e.g 'git reset') peeled the
tag themselves.

9512177b68 ("rebase: add --quit to cleanup rebase, leave everything
else untouched", 2016-11-12) seems to have copied the --abort tests
but added two separate tests for the two rebase backends rather than
adding a single test into the existing testrebase() function.

after the state directory used at the time the test was added. As we

Simplify the setup by using test_commit. Note that this replaces the
branch "pre-rebase" with a tag of the same name. "pre-rebase" is only
used as a fixed reference point so it makes sense to use a tag rather
than a branch.

Commit 97b88dd58c ("git-rebase.sh: Fix --merge --abort failures when
path contains whitespace", 2008-05-04) started running these tests in
a subdirectory with a space in its name. At that time $TEST_DIRECTORY
did not contain a space but shortly after in 4a7aaccd83 ("Rename the
test trash directory to contain spaces.", 2008-05-04) $TEST_DIRECTORY
was changed to contain a space so we no longer need to run these tests
in a subdirectory.

Carefully excluding t3404, which sees independent development elsewhere
at the time of writing, we use `main` as the default branch name in
t34*. This trick was performed via
$ (cd t &&
sed -i -e 's/master/main/g' -e 's/MASTER/MAIN/g' \
-e 's/Master/Main/g' -- t34*.sh &&
git checkout HEAD -- t34\*)
This allows us to define `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=main`
for those tests.

In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.
To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in
- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,
- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
initialize the default branch,
- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,
- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
uses `master`)
This trick was performed by this command:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh
After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:
$ git checkout HEAD -- \
t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \
t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \
t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \

t/t5614-clone-submodules-shallow.sh \
t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \
t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh
We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' t/t980[0167]*.sh t/t9811*.sh

Two related changes, with separate rationale for each:
Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because:
* 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used
for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used
in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones
given that we are making it the default.
* 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is.
* the directory where state is stored is not called
.git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge.
Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because:
* Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point.
* Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the
documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read
it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large
burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very
careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces
annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems.
* Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a
backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the
alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user
tries to explain to another what they are doing.
* While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am
is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools
for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too.
* The directory where state is stored has never been called
.git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply.
For all the reasons listed above:
* Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names
* Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names
to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere
(e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation)
* Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply
* Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new
backend names for us as well.

We have many rebase tests in the testsuite, and often the same test is
repeated multiple times just testing different backends. For those
tests that were specifically trying to test the am backend, add the --am
flag.

There are occasions when you decide to abort an in-progress rebase and
move on to do something else but you forget to do "git rebase --abort"
first. Or the rebase has been in progress for so long you forgot about
it. By the time you realize that (e.g. by starting another rebase)
it's already too late to retrace your steps. The solution is normally
rm -r .git/<some rebase dir>
and continue with your life. But there could be two different
directories for <some rebase dir> (and it obviously requires some
knowledge of how rebase works), and the ".git" part could be much
longer if you are not at top-dir, or in a linked worktree. And
"rm -r" is very dangerous to do in .git, a mistake in there could
destroy object database or other important data.
Provide "git rebase --quit" for this use case, mimicking a precedent
that is "git cherry-pick --quit".

The sub commands '--continue', '--skip' or '--abort' may only be used
standalone according to the documentation. Other options following the
sub command are currently not accepted, but options preceeding them
are. For example, 'git rebase --continue -v' is not accepted, while
'git rebase -v --continue' is. Tighten up the check and allow no other
options when one of these sub commands are used.
Only check that it is standalone for non-interactive rebase for
now. Once the command line processing for interactive rebase has been
replaced by the command line processing in git-rebase.sh, this check
will also apply to interactive rebase.

If a non-interactive rebase of a ref fails at commit X and is aborted by
the user, the ref will be updated twice. First to point at X (with the
reflog message "rebase finished: $head_name onto $onto"), and then back
to $orig_head. It should not be updated at all.

With git-am, it sounds awkward to have the patches in ".git/rebase/",

for git-am and git-rebase. ".git/rebase-apply" seems to be a good
compromise.

Since the files generated and used during a rebase are never to be

Previously, --abort would end by git resetting to ORIG_HEAD, but some
commands, such as git reset --hard (which happened in git rebase --skip,
