Now that reset_head() can handle the initial checkout of onto
correctly use it in the "merge" backend instead of forking "git
checkout". This opens the way for us to stop calling the
post-checkout hook in the future. Not running "git checkout" means
that "rebase -i/m" no longer recurse submodules when checking out
"onto" (thanks to Philippe Blain for pointing this out). As the rest
of rebase does not know what to do with submodules this is probably a
good thing. When using merge-ort rebase ought be able to handle
submodules correctly if it parsed the submodule config, such a change
is left for a future patch series.
The "apply" based rebase has avoided forking git checkout
since ac7f467fef ("builtin/rebase: support running "git rebase
<upstream>"", 2018-08-07). The code that handles the checkout was
moved into libgit by b309a97108 ("reset: extract reset_head() from
rebase", 2020-04-07).

The only use of the action parameter is to setup the error messages
for unpack_trees(). All but two cases pass either "checkout" or
"reset". The case that passes "reset --hard" would be better passing
"reset" so that the error messages match the builtin reset command
like all the other callers that are doing a reset. The case that
passes "Fast-forwarded" is only updating HEAD and so the parameter is
unused in that case as it does not call unpack_trees(). The value to
pass to setup_unpack_trees_porcelain() can be determined by checking
whether flags contains RESET_HEAD_HARD without the caller having to
specify it.

Rename the transitory refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() function to
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), now that all callers of the old function
have learned to pass in a "failure_errno" parameter.
The coccinelle semantic patch added in the preceding commit works, but
I couldn't figure out how to get spatch(1) to re-flow these argument
lists (and sometimes make lines way too long), so this rename was done
with:
perl -pi -e 's/refs_werrres_ref_unsafe/refs_resolve_ref_unsafe/g' \
$(git grep -l refs_werrres_ref_unsafe -- '*.c')
But after that "make contrib/coccinelle/refs.cocci.patch" comes up
empty, so the result would have been the same. Let's remove that
transitory semantic patch file, we won't need to retain it for any
other in-flight changes, refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() only existed within

Change the resolve_ref_unsafe() wrapper function to use the underlying

From a reading of the callers I determined that the only one who cared
about errno was a sequencer.c caller added in e47c6cafcb (commit:
move print_commit_summary() to libgit, 2017-11-24), I'm migrating it
to using refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() directly.
This adds another "set errno" instance, but in this case it's OK and
idiomatic. We are setting it just before calling die_errno(). We could
have some hypothetical die_errno_var(&saved_errno, ...) here, but I
don't think it's worth it. The problem with errno is subtle action at
distance, not this sort of thing. We already use this pattern in a
couple of places in wrapper.c

This introduces a change in behavior in that we now start calling

Change several commands to remove ignored files by default when they are

--no-overwrite-ignore option to allow the user to configure this, and it
may make sense to add that option to more commands (and in the case of
merge, actually plumb that configuration option through to more of the
backends than just the fast-forwarding special case), add little
comments about where such flags would be used.

Currently, every caller of unpack_trees() that wants to ensure ignored
files are overwritten by default needs to:
* allocate unpack_trees_options.dir
* flip the DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag in unpack_trees_options.dir->flags
* call setup_standard_excludes
AND then after the call to unpack_trees() needs to
* call dir_clear()
* deallocate unpack_trees_options.dir
That's a fair amount of boilerplate, and every caller uses identical
code. Make this easier by instead introducing a new boolean value where
the default value (0) does what we want so that new callers of
unpack_trees() automatically get the appropriate behavior. And move all
the handling of unpack_trees_options.dir into unpack_trees() itself.
While preserve_ignored = 0 is the behavior we feel is the appropriate
default, we defer fixing commands to use the appropriate default until a
later commit. So, this commit introduces several locations where we
manually set preserve_ignored=1. This makes it clear where code paths
were previously preserving ignored files when they should not have been;
a future commit will flip these to instead use a value of 0 to get the
behavior we want.

54fd3243da ("rebase -i: reread the todo list if `exec` touched it",
2017-04-26) sought to reread the todo list after running an exec
command only if it had been changed. To accomplish this it checks the
stat data of the todo list after running an exec command to see if it
has changed. Unfortunately there are two problems, firstly the
implementation is buggy we actually reread the list after each exec
which is quadratic in the number of commit lookups and secondly the
design is predicated on using nanosecond time stamps which are not the
default.
The implementation bug stems from the fact that we write a new todo
list to disk before running each command but do not update the stat
data to reflect this[1].
The design problem is that it is possible for the user to edit the
todo list without changing its size or inode which means we have to
rely on the mtime to tell us if it has changed. Unfortunately unless
git is built with USE_NSEC it is possible for the original and edited
list to share the same mtime.
Ideally "git rebase --edit-todo" would set a flag that we would then
check in sequencer.c. Unfortunately this is approach will not work as
there are scripts in the wild that write to the todo list directly
without running "git rebase --edit-todo". Instead of relying on stat
data this patch simply reads the possibly edited todo list and
compares it to the original with memcmp(). This is much faster than
reparsing the todo list each time. This patch reduces the time to run
git rebase -r -xtrue v2.32.0~100 v2.32.0
which runs 419 exec commands by 6.6%. For comparison fixing the
implementation bug in stat based approach reduces the time by a
further 1.4% and is indistinguishable from never rereading the todo
list.

* js/advise-when-skipping-cherry-picked:

The sequencer is used by 'cherry-pick' and 'rebase' to sequence a list
of operations that modify the index. Since we intend to remove the need
for 'command_requires_full_index', we need to ensure the sparse index is
expanded every time it is written to disk between these steps. That is,
unless the merge strategy is 'ort' where the index can remain sparse
throughout.
There are two main places to be extra careful about a full index:
1. Right before calling merge_trees(), ensure the index is full. This
happens within an 'else' where the 'if' block checks if the 'ort'
strategy is selected.
2. During read_and_refresh_cache(), the index might be written to disk
and converted to sparse in the process. Ensure it expands back to
full afterwards by checking if the strategy is _not_ 'ort'. This
'if' statement is the logical negation of the 'if' in item (1).

"git cherry-pick", upon seeing a conflict, says:

hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'
as if running "git commit" to conclude the resolution of
this single step were the end of the story. This stems from
the fact that the command originally was to pick a single
commit and not a range of commits, and the message was
written back then and has not been adjusted.
When picking a range of commits and the command stops with a
conflict in the middle of the range, however, after
resolving the conflict and (optionally) recording the result
with "git commit", the user has to run "git cherry-pick
--continue" to have the rest of the range dealt with,
"--skip" to drop the current commit, or "--abort" to discard
the series.
Suggest use of "git cherry-pick --continue/--skip/--abort"
so that the message also covers the case where a range of
commits are being picked.
Similarly, this optimization can be applied to git revert,
suggest use of "git revert --continue/--skip/--abort" so
that the message also covers the case where a range of
commits are being reverted.
It is worth mentioning that now we use advice() to print

When fast-forwarding we do not create a new commit so .git/MERGE_MSG
is not removed and can end up seeding the message of a commit made
after the rebase has finished. Avoid writing .git/MERGE_MSG when we
are fast-forwarding by writing the file after the fast-forward
checks. Note that there are no changes to the fast-forward code, it is
simply moved.
Note that the way this change is implemented means we no longer write
the author script when fast-forwarding either. I believe this is safe
for the reasons below but it is a departure from what we do when
fast-forwarding a non-merge commit. If we reword the merge then 'git
commit --amend' will keep the authorship of the commit we're rewording
as it ignores GIT_AUTHOR_* unless --reset-author is passed. It will
also export the correct GIT_AUTHOR_* variables to any hooks and we
already test the authorship of the reworded commit. If we are not
rewording then we no longer call spilt_ident() which means we are no
longer checking the commit author header looks sane. However this is
what we already do when fast-forwarding non-merge commits in
skip_unnecessary_picks() so I don't think we're breaking any promises
by not checking the author here.

If the user runs git log while rewording a commit it is confusing if
sometimes we're amending the commit that's being reworded and at other
times we're creating a new commit depending on whether we could
fast-forward or not[1]. For this reason the reword command ensures
that there are no uncommitted changes when rewording. The reword
command also allows the user to edit the todo list while the rebase is
paused. As 'merge -c' also rewords commits make it behave like reword
and add a test.

There are a few reasons to switch the default:
* Correctness
* Extensibility
* Performance
I'll provide some summaries about each.
=== Correctness ===
The original impetus for a new merge backend was to fix issues that were
difficult to fix within recursive's design. The success with this goal
is perhaps most easily demonstrated by running the following:
$ git grep -2 KNOWN_FAILURE t/ | grep -A 4 GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM
$ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.failure.success t/
$ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.success.failure t/
In order, these greps show:
* Seven sets of submodule tests (10 total tests) that fail with
recursive but succeed with ort
* 22 other tests that fail with recursive, but succeed with ort
* 0 tests that pass with recursive, but fail with ort
=== Extensibility ===
Being able to perform merges without touching the working tree or index
makes it possible to create new features that were difficult with the
old backend:
* Merging, cherry-picking, rebasing, reverting in bare repositories...
or just on branches that aren't checked out.
* `git diff AUTO_MERGE` -- ability to see what changes the user has
made to resolve conflicts so far (see commit 5291828df8 ("merge-ort:
write $GIT_DIR/AUTO_MERGE whenever we hit a conflict", 2021-03-20)
* A --remerge-diff option for log/show, used to show diffs for merges
that display the difference between what an automatic merge would
have created and what was recorded in the merge. (This option will
often result in an empty diff because many merges are clean, but for
the non-clean ones it will show how conflicts were fixed including
the removal of conflict markers, and also show additional changes
made outside of conflict regions to e.g. fix semantic conflicts.)
* A --remerge-diff-only option for log/show, similar to --remerge-diff
but also showing how cherry-picks or reverts differed from what an
automatic cherry-pick or revert would provide.
The last three have been implemented already (though only one has been
submitted upstream so far; the others were waiting for performance work
to complete), and I still plan to implement the first one.

There were two locations in the code that referred to 'merge-recursive'
but which were also applicable to 'merge-ort'. Update them to more
general wording.

It is not immediately clear what `expand_user_path()` means, so let's
rename it to `interpolate_path()`. This also opens the path for
interpolating more than just a home directory.

Move the reflog_message() function added in
96e832a5fd (sequencer (rebase -i): refactor setting the reflog
message, 2017-01-02), it gained another user in
9055e401dd (sequencer: introduce new commands to reset the revision,
2018-04-25). Let's move it around and remove the forward declaration
added in the latter commit.

SHA-256 transition.
* bc/hash-transition-interop-part-1:
hex: print objects using the hash algorithm member
hex: default to the_hash_algo on zero algorithm value
builtin/pack-objects: avoid using struct object_id for pack hash
commit-graph: don't store file hashes as struct object_id
builtin/show-index: set the algorithm for object IDs
hash: provide per-algorithm null OIDs
hash: set, copy, and use algo field in struct object_id
builtin/pack-redundant: avoid casting buffers to struct object_id
Use the final_oid_fn to finalize hashing of object IDs
hash: add a function to finalize object IDs
http-push: set algorithm when reading object ID
Always use oidread to read into struct object_id
hash: add an algo member to struct object_id
"git rebase --[no-]reschedule-failed-exec" did not work well with
its configuration variable, which has been corrected.
* ab/rebase-no-reschedule-failed-exec:
rebase: don't override --no-reschedule-failed-exec with config
rebase tests: camel-case rebase.rescheduleFailedExec consistently
Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a
hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros)
object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.
Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.

Plug the ort merge backend throughout the rest of the system, and
start testing it as a replacement for the recursive backend.
* en/ort-readiness:
Add testing with merge-ort merge strategy
t6423: mark remaining expected failure under merge-ort as such
Revert "merge-ort: ignore the directory rename split conflict for now"
merge-recursive: add a bunch of FIXME comments documenting known bugs
merge-ort: write $GIT_DIR/AUTO_MERGE whenever we hit a conflict
t: mark several submodule merging tests as fixed under merge-ort
merge-ort: implement CE_SKIP_WORKTREE handling with conflicted entries
t6428: new test for SKIP_WORKTREE handling and conflicts
merge-ort: support subtree shifting
merge-ort: let renormalization change modify/delete into clean delete
merge-ort: have ll_merge() use a special attr_index for renormalization
merge-ort: add a special minimal index just for renormalization
merge-ort: use STABLE_QSORT instead of QSORT where required
Fix a bug in how --no-reschedule-failed-exec interacts with
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true being set in the config. Before this
change the --no-reschedule-failed-exec config option would be
overridden by the config.
This bug happened because of the particulars of how "rebase" works
v.s. most other git commands when it comes to parsing options and
config:
When we read the config and parse the CLI options we correctly prefer
the --no-reschedule-failed-exec option over
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true in the config. So far so good.
However the --reschedule-failed-exec option doesn't take effect when
the rebase starts (we'd just create a
".git/rebase-merge/reschedule-failed-exec" file if it was true). It
only takes effect when the exec command fails, at which point we'll
reschedule the failed "exec" command.
Since we only wrote out the positive
".git/rebase-merge/reschedule-failed-exec" under
--reschedule-failed-exec, but nothing with --no-reschedule-failed-exec
we'll forget that we asked not to reschedule failed "exec", and would
happily re-read the config and see that
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true is set.
So the config will effectively override the user having explicitly
disabled the option on the command-line.
Even more confusingly: Since rebase accepts different options based on
its state there wasn't even a way to get around this with "rebase
--continue --no-reschedule-failed-exec" (but you could of course set
the config with "rebase -c ...").
I think the least bad way out of this is to declare that for such
options and config whatever we decide at the beginning of the rebase
goes. So we'll now always create either a "reschedule-failed-exec" or
a "no-reschedule-failed-exec file at the start, not just the former if
we decided we wanted the feature.
With this new worldview you can no longer change the setting once a
rebase has started except by manually removing the state files
discussed above. I think making it work like that is the the least
confusing thing we can do.
In the future we might want to learn to change the setting in the
middle by combining "--edit-todo" with
"--[no-]reschedule-failed-exec", we currently don't support combining
those options, or any other way to change the state in the middle of
the rebase short of manually editing the files in
".git/rebase-merge/*".
The bug being fixed here originally came about because of a
combination of the behavior of the code added in d421afa0c6 (rebase:
introduce --reschedule-failed-exec, 2018-12-10) and the addition of
the config variable in 969de3ff0e (rebase: add a config option to
default to --reschedule-failed-exec, 2018-12-10).
