In some places we "echo" a string that comes from a commit log
message, which may have a backslash sequence that is interpreted by
the command (POSIX.1 allows this), most notably "dash"'s built-in
'echo'.
A commit message which contains the string '\n' (or ends with the
string '\c') may result in a garbage line in the todo list of an
interactive rebase which causes the rebase to fail.
To reproduce the behavior (with dash as /bin/sh):
mkdir test && cd test && git init
echo 1 >foo && git add foo
git commit -m"this commit message ends with '\n'"
echo 2 >foo && git commit -a --fixup HEAD
git rebase -i --autosquash --root
Now the editor opens with garbage in line 3 which has to be
removed or the rebase fails.

In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.
The harm:
- When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can
confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.
- Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.
- Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start
with a #! line.
The good:
- Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
place.
The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments.
This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).
Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.
Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:
find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
while read file
do
read line <"$file"
case $line in
'#!'*)
echo "$file"
;;
esac
done
The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

The 'todo' sheet for interactive rebase shows abbreviated SHA-1's and
then performs its operations upon those shortened values. This can lead
to an abort if the SHA-1 of a reworded or edited commit is no longer
unique within the abbreviated SHA-1 space and a subsequent SHA-1 in the
todo list has the same abbreviated value.
For example:
edit f00dfad first
pick badbeef second
If, after editing, the new SHA-1 of "first" also has prefix badbeef,
then the subsequent 'pick badbeef second' will fail since badbeef is no
longer a unique SHA-1 abbreviation:
error: short SHA1 badbeef is ambiguous.
fatal: Needed a single revision
Invalid commit name: badbeef
Fix this problem by expanding the SHA-1's in the todo list before
performing the operations.

In rebase -i --autosquash, ignore all "fixup! " or "squash! " after the
first. This supports the case when a git commit --fixup/--squash referred
to an earlier fixup/squash instead of the original commit (whether
intentionally, as when the user expressly meant to note that the commit
fixes an earlier fixup; or inadvertently, as when the user meant to refer to
the original commit with :/msg; or out of laziness, as when the user could
remember how to refer to the fixup but not the original).
In the todo list, the full commit message is preserved, in case it provides
useful cues to the user. A test helper set_cat_todo_editor is introduced to
check this.

Now that the "checkout" invoked internally from "rebase -i" knows to
honor GIT_REFLOG_ACTION, we can start to use it to write a better
reflog message when "rebase anotherbranch", "rebase --onto branch",
etc. internally checks out the new fork point. We will write:
rebase -i: checkout master
instead of the old
rebase -i
As all the calls git-rebase--interactive make to underlying git
commands that leave reflog messages are preceded by the internal
comment_for_reflog helper function, which uses the original value of
the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION variable it saw when it first started, the new
assignments to GIT_REFLOG_ACTION actively contaminate the value of
the variable, knowing that it will be reset to a sane value before
it is used again. This does not generally hold true but it should
suffice for now.

When a rebase stops (e.g. interrupted by a merge conflict), it could
be useful to know how far a rebase has progressed and how many
commits in total this rebase will apply. Teach the __git_ps1()
command to display the number of commits so far applied and the
total number of commits to be applied, like this:
((3ec0a6a...)|REBASE 2/5)
In the example above the rebase has stopped at the second commit due to
a merge conflict and there are a total number of five commits to be
applied by this rebase.
This information can be already obtained from the following files which are
being generated during the rebase:
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/msgnum (git-rebase--merge.sh)
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/end (git-rebase--merge.sh)
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-apply/next (git-am.sh)
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-apply/last (git-am.sh)
but "rebase -i" does not leave necessary clues.
Implement this feature by doing these three things:
1) Modify git-rebase--interactive.sh to also create
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/msgnum
GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/end
files for the number of commits so far applied and the total
number of commits to be applied.
2) Modify git-prompt.sh to read and display info from the above
files.

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".

Giving "--continue" to a conflicted "rebase -i" session skipped a commit

* 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.

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.
