Nanako Shiraishi d70b4a8f4b Teach rebase -i to honor pre-rebase hook
The original git-rebase honored pre-rebase hook so that public branches
can be protected from getting rebased, but rebase --interactive ignored
the hook entirely.  This fixes it.

Stephan Beyer 9b752a6e31 Improve error output of git-rebase
"git rebase" without arguments on initial startup showed:

	fatal: Needed a single revision
	invalid upstream

This patch makes it show the ordinary usage string.

If .git/rebase-merge or .git/rebase-apply/rebasing exists, git-rebase
will die with a message saying that a rebase is in progress and the user
should try --skip/--abort/--continue.

If .git/rebase-apply/applying exists, git-rebase will die with a message
saying that git-am is in progress, regardless how many arguments are
given.

If no arguments are given and .git/rebase-apply/ exists, but neither a
rebasing nor applying file is in that directory, git-rebase dies with a
message saying that rebase-apply exists and no arguments were given.

Johannes Schindelin 51ef1daa4a Rename .git/rebase to .git/rebase-apply
With git-am, it sounds awkward to have the patches in ".git/rebase/",
but for technical reasons, we have to keep the same directory name
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

Junio C Hamano 324c2c3177 git-rebase: report checkout failure
When detaching the HEAD to the base commit, the "git checkout" command
could fail if, for example, upstream contains a file that would overrwrite
a local, untracked file.  Unconditionally discarding the standard error
stream was done to squelch the progress and notices back when checkout
did not have -q option, but there is no reason to keep doing it anymore.

Noticed by Robert Shearman.

Junio C Hamano 22e407951e Teach "am" and "rebase" to mark the original position with ORIG_HEAD
"merge" and "reset" leave the original point in history in ORIG_HEAD,
which makes it easy to go back to where you were before you inflict a
major damage to your history and realize that you do not like the result
at all.  These days with reflog, we technically do not need to use
ORIG_HEAD, but it is a handy way nevertheless.

This teaches "am" and "rebase" (all forms --- the vanilla one that uses
"am" as its backend, "-m" variant that cherry-picks, and "--interactive")
to do the same.

The original idea and a partial implementation to do this only for "rebase
-m" was by Brian Gernhardt; this extends on his idea.

Johannes Schindelin 6848d58c60 Ignore dirty submodule states during rebase and stash
When rebasing or stashing, chances are that you do not care about
dirty submodules, since they are not updated by those actions anyway.
So ignore the submodules' states.

Note: the submodule states -- as committed in the superproject --
will still be stashed and rebased, it is _just_ the state of the
submodule in the working tree which is ignored.

Junio C Hamano 0cb06644a5 rebase [--onto O] A B: omit needless checkout
This teaches "git rebase [--onto O] A B" to omit an unnecessary checkout
of branch B before it goes on.

"git-rebase" originally was about rebasing the current branch to somewhere
else, and when the extra parameter to name which branch to rebase was
added, it defined the semantics to the safest but stupid "first switch to
the named branch and then operate exactly the same way as if we were
already on that branch".

But the first thing the real part of "rebase" does is to reset the work
tree and the index to the "onto" commit.  Which means the "rebase that
branch" form switched the work tree to the tip of the branch only to
immediately switch again to another commit.  This was wasteful.

Junio C Hamano e637122ef2 rebase -m: do not trigger pre-commit verification
When rebasing changes that contain issues that the pre-commit hook flags
as problematic, the rebase cannot be continued.  However, rebase is about
transplanting commits that are already made with as little distortion as
possible, and pre-commit check should not interfere.

Earlier, c5b09fe (Avoid update hook during git-rebase --interactive,
2007-12-19) fixed "rebase -i", but "rebase -m" shared the same issue.

The new option --rebasing is used internally for rebase to tell am that
it is being used for its purpose.  This would leave .dotest/rebasing to
help "completion" scripts tell if the ongoing operation is am or rebase.

Also the option at the same time stands for --binary, -3 and -k which
are always given when rebase drives am as its backend.

Using the information "am" leaves, git-completion.bash tells ongoing
rebase and am apart.

When you have a file called HEAD in your work tree, many commands that

David Kastrup 822f7c7349 Supplant the "while case ... break ;; esac" idiom
A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with

	while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac

and similar.  I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance.  It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant.  In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test".  "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin.  Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.

A few loops have had their termination condition expressed
differently.

then 'git rebase -m master' would report:

With this fix it reports the expected:

Johannes Schindelin b4372ef136 Enable "git rerere" by the config variable rerere.enabled
Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory
.git/rr-cache.  That is definitely not in line with most other
features, which are enabled by a config variable.

So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set
to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if
.git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable
rerere temporarily.

If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection
of the directory .git/rr-cache.

Johannes Sixt 1308c17b3e Allow rebase to run if upstream is completely merged
Consider this history:

  o--o-...-B          <- origin
      \     \
       x--x--M--x--x  <- master

In this situation, rebase considers master fully up-to-date and would
not do anything. However, if there were additional commits on origin,
the rebase would run and move the commits x on top of origin.

Here we change rebase to short-circuit out only if the history since origin
is strictly linear. Consequently, the above as well as a history like this
would be linearized:

  o--o               <- origin

Johannes Schindelin 1b1dce4bae Teach rebase an interactive mode
Don't you just hate the fact sometimes, that git-rebase just applies
the patches, without any possibility to edit them, or rearrange them?
With "--interactive", git-rebase now lets you edit the list of patches,
so that you can reorder, edit and delete patches.

Such a list will typically look like this:

	pick deadbee The oneline of this commit
	pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
	...

By replacing the command "pick" with the command "edit", you can amend
that patch and/or its commit message, and by replacing it with "squash"
you can tell rebase to fold that patch into the patch before that.

It is derived from the script sent to the list in

Junio C Hamano a1bf91e081 git-rebase: make 'rebase HEAD branch' work as expected.
When you want to amend the commit message of 3 commits before
the tip of the current branch, say 'master',

	A--B--C--D--E(master)

it is sometimes handy to make your head detached at that commit
with:

	$ git checkout HEAD~3 ;# check out B
	$ git commit --amend ;# without modifying contents...

to create:

          .B'(HEAD)
         /
	A--B--C--D--E(master)

and then rebase 'master' branch onto HEAD with this:

	$ git rebase HEAD master

to result in:

          .B'-C'-D'-E(master=HEAD)
         /
	A--B--C--D--E

However, the current code interprets HEAD after it switches to
the branch 'master', which means the rebase will not do
anything.  You have to say something unwieldly like this
instead:

	$ git rebase $(git rev-parse HEAD) master

This fixes it by expanding the $onto commit name before
switching to the target branch.

git-diff-index with no further comment to the user.

Junio C Hamano 533b70390e Allow whole-tree operations to be started from a subdirectory
This updates five commands (merge, pull, rebase, revert and cherry-pick)
so that they can be started from a subdirectory.

This may not actually be what we want to do.  These commands are
inherently whole-tree operations, and an inexperienced user may
mistakenly expect a "git pull" from a subdirectory would merge
only the subdirectory the command started from.

Shawn O. Pearce 7eff28a9b4 Disallow working directory commands in a bare repository.
If the user tries to run a porcelainish command which requires
a working directory in a bare repository they may get unexpected
results which are difficult to predict and may differ from command
to command.

Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare
repository and refuse to run the command there, as there is no
working directory associated with it.

[jc: updated Shawn's original somewhat -- bugs are mine.]

Shawn O. Pearce 0bb733c91c Use branch names in 'git-rebase -m' conflict hunks.
If a three-way merge in git-rebase generates a conflict then we
should take advantage of git-merge-recursive's ability to include
the branch name of each side of the conflict hunk by setting the
GITHEAD_* environment variables.

In the case of rebase there aren't really two clear branches; we
have the branch we are rebasing onto, and we have the branch we are
currently rebasing.  Since most conflicts will be arising between
the user's current branch and the branch they are rebasing onto
we assume the stuff that isn't in the current commit is the "onto"
branch and the stuff in the current commit is the "current" branch.

This assumption may however come up wrong if the user resolves one
conflict in such a way that it conflicts again on a future commit
also being rebased.  In this case the user's prior resolution will
appear to be in the "onto" part of the hunk.
