The sequencer infrastructure is shared across "git cherry-pick",
"git rebase -i", etc., and has always spawned "git commit" when it
needs to create a commit. It has been taught to do so internally,
when able, by reusing the codepath "git commit" itself uses, which
gives performance boost for a few tens of percents in some sample
scenarios.

Commit 356ee4659b ("sequencer: try to commit without forking 'git
commit'", 2017-11-24) forgot to run the 'prepare-commit-msg' hook when
creating the commit. Fix this by writing the commit message to a
different file and running the hook. Using a different file means that
if the commit is cancelled the original message file is
unchanged. Also move the checks for an empty commit so the order
matches 'git commit'.

The previous config handling relied on global variables, called
git_default_config() even when the key had already been handled by
git_sequencer_config() and did not initialize the diff configuration
variables. Improve this by: i) loading the default values for message
cleanup and gpg signing of commits into struct replay_opts;
ii) restructuring the code to return immediately once a key is
handled; and iii) calling git_diff_basic_config(). Note that
unfortunately it is not possible to return early if the key is handled
by git_gpg_config() as it does not indicate to the caller if the key
has been handled or not.
The sequencer should probably have been calling
git_diff_basic_config() before as it creates a patch when there are
conflicts. The shell version uses 'diff-tree' to create the patch so
calling git_diff_basic_config() should match that. Although 'git
commit' calls git_diff_ui_config() I don't think the output of
print_commit_summary() is affected by anything that is loaded by that
as print_commit_summary() always turns on rename detection so would
ignore the value in the user's configuration anyway. The other values
loaded by git_diff_ui_config() are about the formatting of patches so
are not relevant to print_commit_summary().

Move print_commit_summary() from builtin/commit.c to sequencer.c so it
can be shared with other commands. The function is modified by
changing the last argument to a flag so callers can specify whether
they want to show the author date in addition to specifying if this is
an initial commit.
If the sequencer dies in print_commit_summary() (which can only happen
when cherry-picking or reverting) then neither the todo list nor the
abort safety file are updated to reflect the commit that was just
made. print_commit_summary() can die if:
- The commit that was just created cannot be found or parsed.
- HEAD cannot be resolved either because some other process is
updating it (which is bad news in the middle of a cherry-pick) or
because it is corrupt.
- log_tree_commit() cannot read some objects.
In all those cases dying will leave the sequencer in a sane state for
aborting; 'git cherry-pick --abort' will rewind HEAD to the last
successful commit before there was a problem with HEAD or the object
database. If the user somehow fixes the problem and runs 'git
cherry-pick --continue' then the sequencer will try and pick the same
commit again which may or may not be what the user wants depending on
what caused print_commit_summary() to die. If print_commit_summary()
returned an error instead then update_abort_safety_file() would try to
resolve HEAD which may or may not be successful. If it is successful
then running 'git rebase --abort' would not rewind HEAD to the last
successful commit which is not what we want.

This operation has quadratic complexity, which is especially painful
on Windows, where shell scripts are *already* slow (mainly due to the
overhead of the POSIX emulation layer).
Let's reimplement this with linear complexity (using a hash map to
match the commits' subject lines) for the common case; Sadly, the
fixup/squash feature's design neglected performance considerations,
allowing arbitrary prefixes (read: `fixup! hell` will match the
commit subject `hello world`), which means that we are stuck with
quadratic performance in the worst case.
The reimplemented logic also happens to fix a bug where commented-out
lines (representing empty patches) were dropped by the previous code.
While at it, clarify how the fixup/squash feature works in `git rebase

Note: The original code did not try to skip unnecessary picks of root

The first step of an interactive rebase is to generate the so-called "todo
script", to be stored in the state directory as "git-rebase-todo" and to
be edited by the user.
Originally, we adjusted the output of `git log <options>` using a simple
sed script. Over the course of the years, the code became more
complicated. We now use shell scripting to edit the output of `git log`
conditionally, depending whether to keep "empty" commits (i.e. commits
that do not change any files).
On platforms where shell scripting is not native, this can be a serious
drag. And it opens the door for incompatibilities between platforms when
it comes to shell scripting or to Unix-y commands.
Let's just re-implement the todo script generation in plain C, using the
revision machinery directly.
This is substantially faster, improving the speed relative to the
shell script version of the interactive rebase from 2x to 3x on Windows.
Note that the rearrange_squash() function in git-rebase--interactive
relied on the fact that we set the "format" variable to the config setting
rebase.instructionFormat. Relying on a side effect like this is no good,
hence we explicitly perform that assignment (possibly again) in
rearrange_squash().

The sequencer is our attempt to lib-ify cherry-pick. Yet it behaves
like a one-shot command when it reads its configuration: memory is
allocated and released only when the command exits.
This is kind of okay for git-cherry-pick, which *is* a one-shot
command. All the work to make the sequencer its work horse was
done to allow using the functionality as a library function, though,
including proper clean-up after use.
To remedy that, take custody of the option values in question,
allocating and duping literal constants as needed and freeing them
at end.

The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty
commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which
<commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal. By default commits which are
non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current
history are filtered out. This option allows us to override that behavior and
include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history.
Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly.
Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git
commit was run. The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and
the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and
therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick
advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty). With this patch however, such
redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless
--keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically
applied as empty commits.

cases of a general sequencer operation. The cherry-pick builtin is
now a thin wrapper that does command-line argument parsing before
calling into sequencer_pick_revisions(). In the future, we can write
a new "foo" builtin that calls into the sequencer like:
memset(&opts, 0, sizeof(opts));
opts.action = REPLAY_FOO;
opts.revisions = xmalloc(sizeof(*opts.revs));
parse_args_populate_opts(argc, argv, &opts);

The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the
sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce
--reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name.
Change it now, while we still have the time.
The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've
long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when
you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit. Mnemonic:
this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using ---
we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure
and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state.
The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact. We
might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though.
Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit)
instead of --reset. While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions
of these operations in "-h" output.

To explicitly remove the sequencer state for a fresh cherry-pick or

remove the sequencer state.
Take the opportunity to publicly expose the sequencer paths, and a
generic function called "remove_sequencer_state" that various git
programs can use to remove the sequencer state in a uniform manner;
"git reset" uses it later in this series. Introducing this public API
is also in line with our long-term goal of eventually factoring out
