The 'edit' command can be used to cherry-pick a commit and then
immediately drop out of the interactive rebase, with exit code 0, to let
the user amend the commit, or test it, or look around.
Sometimes this functionality would come in handy *without*
cherry-picking a commit, e.g. to interrupt the interactive rebase even
before cherry-picking a commit, or immediately after an 'exec' or a
'merge'.
This commit introduces that functionality, as the spanking new 'break'
command.

This rewrites write_basic_state() from git-rebase.sh in C. This is the
first step in the conversion of init_basic_state(), hence the mode in
rebase--helper.c is called INIT_BASIC_STATE. init_basic_state() will be
converted in the next commit.
The part of read_strategy_opts() that parses the stategy options is
moved to a new function to allow its use in rebase--helper.c.
Finally, the call to write_basic_state() is removed from
git-rebase--interactive.sh, replaced by a call to `--init-basic-state`.

This rewrites complete_action() from shell to C.
A new mode is added to rebase--helper (`--complete-action`), as well as
a new flag (`--autosquash`).
Finally, complete_action() is stripped from git-rebase--interactive.sh.
The original complete_action() would return the code 2 when the todo
list contained no actions. This was a special case for rebase -i and
-p; git-rebase.sh would then apply the autostash, delete the state
directory, and die with the message "Nothing to do". This cleanup is
rewritten in C instead of returning 2. As rebase -i no longer returns
2, the comment describing this behaviour in git-rebase.sh is updated to
reflect this change.
The message "Nothing to do" is now printed with error(), and so becomes
"error: nothing to do". Some tests in t3404 check this value, so they
are updated to fit this change.
The first check might seem useless as we write "noop" to the todo list
if it is empty. Actually, the todo list might contain commented
commands (ie. empty commits). In this case, complete_action() won’t
write "noop", and will abort without starting the editor.

a new flag, “verbose”, to avoid silencing the output of the checkout

therefore its code is not part of `checkout_base_commit()`.
The shell version is then stripped in favour of a call to the helper.

git-rebase.sh wrote strategy options to .git/rebase/merge/strategy_opts
in the following format:
'--ours' '--renormalize'
Note the double spaces.
git-rebase--interactive uses sequencer.c to parse that file, and
sequencer.c used split_cmdline() to get the individual strategy options.
After splitting, sequencer.c prefixed each "option" with a double dash,
so, concatenating all its options would result in:
-- --ours -- --renormalize
So, when it ended up calling try_merge_strategy(), that in turn would run
git merge-$strategy -- --ours -- --renormalize $merge_base -- $head $remote
instead of the expected/desired
git merge-$strategy --ours --renormalize $merge_base -- $head $remote
Remove the extra spaces so that when it goes through split_cmdline() we end

Ever since commit 18633e1a22 ("rebase -i: use the rebase--helper builtin",
2017-02-09), when a commit marked as 'reword' in an interactive rebase
has conflicts and fails to apply, when the rebase is resumed that commit
will be squashed into its parent with its commit message taken.
The issue can be understood better by looking at commit 56dc3ab04b
("sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'edit' command", 2017-01-02), which
introduced error_with_patch() for the edit command. For the edit command,
it needs to stop the rebase whether or not the patch applies cleanly. If
the patch does apply cleanly, then when it resumes it knows it needs to
amend all changes into the previous commit. If it does not apply cleanly,
then the changes should not be amended. Thus, it passes !res (success of
applying the 'edit' commit) to error_with_patch() for the to_amend flag.
The problematic line of code actually came from commit 04efc8b57c
("sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'reword' command", 2017-01-02).
Note that to get to this point in the code:
* !!res (i.e. patch application failed)
* item->command < TODO_SQUASH
* item->command != TODO_EDIT
* !is_fixup(item->command) [i.e. not squash or fixup]
So that means this can only be a failed patch application that is either a
pick, revert, or reword. We only need to amend HEAD when rewording the
root commit or a commit that has been fast-forwarded, for any of the other
cases we want a new commit, so we should not set the to_amend flag.

However, the code path that does this checks for its length to be
equivalent to GIT_SHA1_RAWSZ, which isn't correct, since what we are
reading is a hex object ID. Instead, check for the length being
equivalent to that of a hex object ID. Use the_hash_algo so this code
works regardless of the hash size.

When an interactive rebase wants to recreate a root commit, it
- first creates a new, empty root commit,
- checks it out,
- converts the next `pick` command so that it amends the empty root
commit
Introduce support in the sequencer to handle such an empty root commit,
by looking for the file <GIT_DIR>/rebase-merge/squash-onto; if it exists
and contains a commit name, the sequencer will compare the HEAD to said
root commit, and if identical, a new root commit will be created.
While converting scripted code into proper, portable C, we also do away
with the old "amend with an empty commit message, then cherry-pick
without committing, then amend again" dance and replace it with code
that uses the internal API properly to do exactly what we want: create a
new root commit.
To keep the implementation simple, we always spawn `git commit` to create
new root commits.

In the context of the new --rebase-merges mode, which was designed
specifically to allow for changing the existing branch topology
liberally, a user may want to extract commits into a completely fresh
branch that starts with a newly-created root commit.
This is now possible by inserting the command `reset [new root]` before
`pick`ing the commit that wants to become a root commit. Example:
reset [new root]
pick 012345 a commit that is about to become a root commit
pick 234567 this commit will have the previous one as parent
This does not conflict with other uses of the `reset` command because
`[new root]` is not (part of) a valid ref name: both the opening bracket
as well as the space are illegal in ref names.

During a series of fixup/squash commands, the interactive rebase builds
up a commit message with comments. This will be presented to the user in
the editor if at least one of those commands was a `squash`.
In any case, the commit message will be cleaned up eventually, removing
all those intermediate comments, in the final step of such a
fixup/squash chain.
However, if the last fixup/squash command in such a chain fails with
merge conflicts, and if the user then decides to skip it (or resolve it
to a clean worktree and then continue the rebase), the current code
fails to clean up the commit message.
This commit fixes that behavior.
The fix is quite a bit more involved than meets the eye because it is
not only about the question whether we are `git rebase --skip`ing a
fixup or squash. It is also about removing the skipped fixup/squash's
commit message from the accumulated commit message. And it is also about
the question whether we should let the user edit the final commit
message or not ("Was there a squash in the chain *that was not
skipped*?").
For example, in this case we will want to fix the commit message, but
not open it in an editor:
pick <- succeeds
fixup <- succeeds
squash <- fails, will be skipped
This is where the newly-introduced `current-fixups` file comes in real
handy. A quick look and we can determine whether there was a non-skipped
squash. We only need to make sure to keep it up to date with respect to
skipped fixup/squash commands. As a bonus, we can even avoid committing
unnecessarily, e.g. when there was only one fixup, and it failed, and
was skipped.
To fix only the bug where the final commit message was not cleaned up
properly, but without fixing the rest, would have been more complicated
than fixing it all in one go, hence this commit lumps together more than
a single concern.
For the same reason, this commit also adds a bit more to the existing
test case for the regression we just fixed.
The diff is best viewed with --color-moved.

We previously relied on the localized versions of
# This is a combination of <N> commits
(which we write into the commit messages during fixup/squash chains)
to contain <N> encoded in ASCII.
This is not true in general, and certainly not true when compiled with
GETTEXT_POISON=TryToKillMe, as demonstrated by the regression test we
just introduced in t3418.
So let's decouple keeping track of the count from the (localized) commit
messages by introducing a new file called 'current-fixups' that keeps
track of the current fixup/squash chain. This file contains a bit more
than just the count (it contains a list of "fixup <commit>"/"squash
<commit>" lines). This is done on purpose, as it will come in handy for
a fix for the bug where `git rebase --skip` on a final fixup/squash will
leave the commit message in limbo.

When running `git rebase --rebase-merges` non-interactively with an
ancestor of HEAD as <upstream> (or leaving the todo list unmodified),
we would ideally recreate the exact same commits as before the rebase.
However, if there are commits in the commit range <upstream>.. that do not
have <upstream> as direct ancestor (i.e. if `git log <upstream>..` would
show commits that are omitted by `git log --ancestry-path <upstream>..`),
this is currently not the case: we would turn them into commits that have
<upstream> as direct ancestor.
Let's illustrate that with a diagram:
C
/ \
A - B - E - F
\ /
D
Currently, after running `git rebase -i --rebase-merges B`, the new branch
structure would be (pay particular attention to the commit `D`):
--- C' --
/ \
A - B ------ E' - F'
\ /
D'
This is not really preserving the branch topology from before! The
reason is that the commit `D` does not have `B` as ancestor, and
therefore it gets rebased onto `B`.
This is unintuitive behavior. Even worse, when recreating branch
structure, most use cases would appear to want cousins *not* to be
rebased onto the new base commit. For example, Git for Windows (the
heaviest user of the Git garden shears, which served as the blueprint
for --rebase-merges) frequently merges branches from `next` early, and
these branches certainly do *not* want to be rebased. In the example
above, the desired outcome would look like this:
--- C' --
/ \
A - B ------ E' - F'
\ /
-- D' --
Let's introduce the term "cousins" for such commits ("D" in the
example), and let's not rebase them by default. For hypothetical
use cases where cousins *do* need to be rebased, `git rebase

The `git merge` command does not allow merging commits that are already
reachable from HEAD: `git merge HEAD^`, for example, will report that we
are already up to date and not change a thing.
In an interactive rebase, such a merge could occur previously, e.g. when
competing (or slightly modified) versions of a patch series were applied
upstream, and the user had to `git rebase --skip` all of the local
commits, and the topic branch becomes "empty" as a consequence.
Let's teach the todo command `merge` to behave the same as `git merge`.
Seeing as it requires some low-level trickery to create such merges with
Git's commands in the first place, we do not even have to bother to
introduce an option to force `merge` to create such merge commits.

In the previous patches, we implemented the basic functionality of the
`git rebase -i --rebase-merges` command, in particular the `merge`
command to create merge commits in the sequencer.
The interactive rebase is a lot more these days, though, than a simple
cherry-pick in a loop. For example, it calls the post-rewrite hook (if
any) after rebasing with a mapping of the old->new commits.
This patch implements the post-rewrite handling for the `merge` command
we just introduced. The other commands that were added recently (`label`
and `reset`) do not create new commits, therefore post-rewrite hooks do
not need to handle them.

The sequencer just learned new commands intended to recreate branch
structure (similar in spirit to --preserve-merges, but with a
substantially less-broken design).
Let's allow the rebase--helper to generate todo lists making use of
these commands, triggered by the new --rebase-merges option. For a
commit topology like this (where the HEAD points to C):
- A - B - C
\ /
D
the generated todo list would look like this:
# branch D
pick 0123 A
label branch-point
pick 1234 D
label D
reset branch-point
pick 2345 B
merge -C 3456 D # C
To keep things simple, we first only implement support for merge commits
with exactly two parents, leaving support for octopus merges to a later
patch series.
All merge-rebasing todo lists start with a hard-coded `label onto` line.
This makes it convenient to refer later on to the revision onto which
everything is rebased, e.g. as starting point for branches other than
the very first one.

Just like with regular `pick` commands, if we are trying to rebase a
merge commit, we now test whether the parents of said commit match HEAD
and the commits to be merged, and fast-forward if possible.
This is not only faster, but also avoids unnecessary proliferation of
new objects.
