Since a1549e10, 15d4bf2e and 01a1e646 (first appearing in v1.8.4)
the git-rebase--*.sh scripts have used a "return" to stop execution
of the dot-sourced file and return to the "dot" command that
dot-sourced it. The /bin/sh utility on FreeBSD however behaves
poorly under some circumstances when such a "return" is executed.
In particular, if the "dot" command is contained within a function,
then when a "return" is executed by the script it runs (that is not
itself inside a function), control will return from the function
that contains the "dot" command skipping any statements that might
follow the dot command inside that function. Commit 99855ddf (first
appearing in v1.8.4.1) addresses this by making the "dot" command
the last line in the function.
Unfortunately the FreeBSD /bin/sh may also execute some statements
in the script run by the "dot" command that appear after the
troublesome "return". The fix in 99855ddf does not address this
problem.
For example, if you have script1.sh with these contents:
run_script2() {
. "$(dirname -- "$0")/script2.sh"
_e=$?
echo only this line should show
[ $_e -eq 5 ] || echo expected status 5 got $_e
return 3
}
run_script2
e=$?
[ $e -eq 3 ] || { echo expected status 3 got $e; exit 1; }
And script2.sh with these contents:
if [ 5 -gt 3 ]; then
return 5
fi
case bad in *)
echo always shows
esac
echo should not get here
! :
When running script1.sh (e.g. '/bin/sh script1.sh' or './script1.sh'
after making it executable), the expected output from a POSIX shell
is simply the single line:
only this line should show
However, when run using FreeBSD's /bin/sh, the following output
appears instead:
should not get here
expected status 3 got 1
Not only did the lines following the "dot" command in the run_script2
function in script1.sh get skipped, but additional lines in script2.sh
following the "return" got executed -- but not all of them (e.g. the
"echo always shows" line did not run).
These issues can be avoided by not using a top-level "return" in
script2.sh. If script2.sh is changed to this:
main() {
if [ 5 -gt 3 ]; then
return 5
fi
case bad in *)
echo always shows
esac
echo should not get here
! :
}
main
Then it behaves the same when using FreeBSD's /bin/sh as when using
other more POSIX compliant /bin/sh implementations.
We fix the git-rebase--*.sh scripts in a similar fashion by moving
the top-level code that contains "return" statements into its own
function and then calling that as the last line in the script.

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 git-sh-setup script is already sourced in git-rebase.sh before
calling into git-rebase--(am|interactive|merge).sh. There are no other
callers of these scripts. It is therefore unnecessary to source
git-sh-setup again in them.

When the merge strategy fails, a message suggesting the user to try
another strategy is displayed. Remove the "$rv" (which is always equal
to "2" in this case) from that message.

Extract the code for writing the state to rebase-apply/ or
rebase-merge/ when a rebase is initiated. This will make it easier to
later make both interactive and non-interactive rebase remember the
options used.
Note that non-interactive rebase stores the sha1 of the original head
in a file called orig-head, while interactive rebase stores it in a
file called head. Change this by writing to orig-head in both
cases. When reading, try to read from orig-head. If that fails, read
from head instead. This protects users who upgraded git while they had
an ongoing interactive rebase, while still making it possible to
remove the code that reads from head at some point in the future.
