When passing a tag as the first argument to `git replace --graft`,
it can be useful to accept it and use the underlying commit as a
the commit that will be replaced.
This already works for lightweight tags, but unfortunately
for annotated tags we have been using the hash of the tag object
instead of the hash of the underlying commit.
Especially we would pass the hash of the tag object to
replace_object_oid() where we would likely fail with an error
like:
"error: Objects must be of the same type.
'annotated_replaced_object' points to a replaced object of type 'tag'
while 'replacement' points to a replacement object of type 'commit'."
This patch fixes that by using the hash of the underlying commit
when an annotated tag is passed.

When passing a tag as a parent argument to `git replace --graft`,
it can be useful to accept it and use the underlying commit as a
parent.
This already works for lightweight tags, but unfortunately
for annotated tags we have been using the hash of the tag object
instead of the hash of the underlying commit as a parent in the
replacement object we create.
This created invalid objects, but the replace succeeded even if
it showed an error like:
error: object A is a tag, not a commit
This patch fixes that by using the hash of the underlying commit

The advice to run 'git replace --convert-graft-file' added in
f9f99b3f7d ("Deprecate support for .git/info/grafts", 2018-04-29)
didn't add an exception for the 'git replace --convert-graft-file'

As a result we'd suggest running --convert-graft-file while the user
was running --convert-graft-file, which makes no sense. Before:
$ git replace --convert-graft-file
hint: Support for <GIT_DIR>/info/grafts is deprecated

We can already disable replace refs using a command line
option or environment variable, but those are awkward to
apply universally. Let's add a config option to do the same
thing.
That raises the question of why one might want to do so
universally. The answer is that replace refs violate the
immutability of objects. For instance, if you wanted to
cache the diff between commit XYZ and its parent, then in
theory that never changes; the hash XYZ represents the total
state. But replace refs violate that; pushing up a new ref
may create a completely new diff.
The obvious "if it hurts, don't do it" answer is not to
create replace refs if you're doing this kind of caching.
But for a site hosting arbitrary repositories, they may want
to allow users to share replace refs with each other, but
not actually respect them on the site (because the caching
is more important than the replace feature).

The test script 't6050-replace.sh' starts off with redirecting the
whole test script's stdin from /dev/null. This redirection has been
there since the test script was introduced in a3e8267225
(replace_object: add a test case, 2009-01-23), but the commit message
doesn't explain why it was deemed necessary. AFAICT, it has never
been necessary, and t6050 runs just fine and succeeds even without it,
not only the current version but past versions as well.
Besides being unnecessary, this redirection is also harmful, as it
prevents the test helper functions 'test_pause' and 'debug' from
working properly in t6050, because we can't enter any commands to the
shell and the debugger, respectively.
So let's remove that redirection.

'git replace --edit' should error out when the invoked editor fails,
but the test checking this behavior would not notice if this weren't
the case.
The test in question, ever since it was added in 85f98fc037
(replace: add tests for --edit, 2014-05-17), has simulated a failing
editor in an unconventional way:
test_must_fail env GIT_EDITOR='./fakeeditor;false' git replace --edit
I presume the reason for this unconventional editor was the fact that
'git replace --edit' requires the edited object to be different from
the original, but a mere 'false' as editor would leave the object
unchanged and 'git replace --edit' would error out anyway complaining
about the new and the original object files being the same. Running
'fakeeditor' before 'false' was supposed to ensure that the object
file is modified and thus 'git replace --edit' errors out because of
the failed editor.
However, this editor doesn't actually modify the edited object,
because start_command() turns this editor into:
/bin/sh -c './fakeeditor;false "$@"' './fakeeditor;false' \
'.../.git/REPLACE_EDITOBJ'
This means that the test's fakeeditor script doesn't even get the path
of the object to be edited as argument, triggering error messages from
the commands executed inside the script ('sed' and 'mv'), and
ultimately leaving the object file unchanged.
If a patch were to remove the die() from the error path after
launch_editor(), the test would not catch it, because 'git replace'
would continue execution past launch_editor() and would error out a
bit later due to the unchanged edited object. Though 'git replace'
would error out for the wrong reason, this would satisfy
'test_must_fail' just as well, and the test would succeed leaving the
undesired change unnoticed.
Create a proper failing fake editor script for this test to ensure
that the edited object is in fact modified and 'git replace --edit'
won't error out because the new and original object files are the
same.

When checking to see if some objects are of the same type
and when displaying the type of objects, git replace uses
the sha1_object_info() function.
Unfortunately this function by default respects replace
refs, so instead of the type of a replaced object, it
gives the type of the replacement object which might
be different.
To fix this bug, and because git replace should work at a
level before replacement takes place, let's unset the
read_replace_refs global variable at the beginning of
cmd_replace().

The test was missing some "&&" at the end of some lines and it

the commits from the parallel branch should not show up. This

This is fixed by checking that after the branch from HASH6 is
fetched, the commits from the parallel branch don't show up,
and then by fetching the replacement refs and checking that
they do show up afterwards.

Commit 0e87c36 (object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the
replacement sha1) changed the first argument passed to
parse_object_buffer() from "sha1" to "repl". With that change,
the returned obj pointer has the replacement SHA1 in obj->sha1,
not the original one.
But when using lookup_commit() and then parse_commit() on a
commit, we get an object pointer with the original sha1, but
the commit content comes from the replacement commit.
So the result we get from using parse_object() is different
from the we get from using lookup_commit() followed by
parse_commit().
It looks much simpler and safer to fix this inconsistency by
passing "sha1" to parse_object_bufer() instead of "repl".
The commit comment should be used to tell the the replacement
commit is replacing another commit and why. So it should be
easy to see that we have a replacement commit instead of an
original one.
And it is not a problem if the content of the commit is not
consistent with the sha1 as cat-file piped to hash-object can
be used to see the difference.

This has the same effect as --no-replace-objects option; git ignores the
replace refs. When --no-replace-objects option is passed to git, this

Commit dae556b (environment: add global variable to disable replacement)
adds a variable to enable/disable replacement, and it is enabled by
default for most commands.
So there is no way to disable it for some commands, which is annoying
when we want to get information about a commit that has been replaced.
For example:
$ git cat-file -p N
would output information about the replacement commit if commit N is
replaced.
With the "--no-replace-objects" option that this patch adds it is
possible to get information about the original commit using:
$ git --no-replace-objects cat-file -p N

When using something like:

we need to parse 04a8c to find its second parent and then start

user input and should mean the same commit as git show "04a8c^2" would
give the user, so it obviously needs to obey the replace rules (making
