It is sometimes useful to be able to read exactly N bytes from a
pipe. Doing this portably turns out to be surprisingly difficult
in shell scripts.
We want a solution that:
- is portable
- never reads more than N bytes due to buffering (which
would mean those bytes are not available to the next
program to read from the same pipe)
- handles partial reads by looping until N bytes are read
(or we see EOF)
- is resilient to stray signals giving us EINTR while
trying to read (even though we don't send them, things
like SIGWINCH could cause apparently-random failures)
Some possible solutions are:
- "head -c" is not portable, and implementations may
buffer (though GNU head does not)
- "read -N" is a bash-ism, and thus not portable
- "dd bs=$n count=1" does not handle partial reads. GNU dd
has iflags=fullblock, but that is not portable
- "dd bs=1 count=$n" fixes the partial read problem (all
reads are 1-byte, so there can be no partial response).
It does make a lot of write() calls, but for our tests
that's unlikely to matter. It's fairly portable. We
already use it in our tests, and it's unlikely that
implementations would screw up any of our criteria. The
most unknown one would be signal handling.
- perl can do a sysread() loop pretty easily. On my Linux
system, at least, it seems to restart the read() call
automatically. If that turns out not to be portable,
though, it would be easy for us to handle it.
That makes the perl solution the least bad (because we
conveniently omitted "length of code" as a criterion).
It's also what t9300 is currently using, so we can just pull
the implementation from there.

While it is not recommended, fsck.c says:
Not having a body is not a crime [...]
... which means that we cannot assume that the commit buffer
contains an empty line to separate header from body. A commit
object with only a header without any body, not even without
a blank line after the header, is valid.
So let's tread carefully here. strstr("\n\n") may find nothing
and return NULL.

When there are blank lines at the beginning of a commit message, the
pretty printing machinery already skips them when showing a commit
subject (or the complete commit message). We shall henceforth do the
same when reporting the commit subject after the user called

Consistent with the pretty-printing machinery, we skip leading blank
lines (if any) of existing commit messages.
While Git itself only produces commit objects with a single empty line
between commit header and commit message, it is legal to have more than
one blank line (i.e. lines containing only white space, or no
characters) at the beginning of the commit message, and the
pretty-printing code already handles that.

When we abort an interactive rebase we do so by calling
`die_abort`, which cleans up after us by removing the rebase
state directory. If the user has requested to use the autostash
feature, though, the state directory may also contain a reference
to the autostash, which will now be deleted.
Fix the issue by trying to re-apply the autostash in `die_abort`.
This will also handle the case where the autostash does not apply
cleanly anymore by recording it in a user-visible stash.

Originally, ANSI color sequences were supported on Windows only by
overriding the printf() and fprintf() functions, as mentioned in e7821d7
(Add a notice that only certain functions can print color escape codes,
2009-11-27).
As of eac14f8 (Win32: Thread-safe windows console output, 2012-01-14),
however, this is no longer the case, as the ANSI color sequence support
code needed to be replaced with a thread-safe version, one side effect
being that stdout and stderr handled no matter which function is used to
write to it.
So let's just remove the comment that is now obsolete.

Subsequent patches will want to reuse the 'signed' branch that the
'log --graph --show-signature' test creates and uses.
Split the set-up part into a test of its own, and make the existing
test into a separate one that only inspects the history on the 'signed'
branch. This way, it becomes clearer that tests added by subsequent
patches reuse the 'signed' branch in the same way.
