John Cai bdff97a3f6 rebase: set REF_HEAD_DETACH in checkout_up_to_date()
"git rebase A B" where B is not a commit should behave as if the
HEAD got detached at B and then the detached HEAD got rebased on top
of A.  A bug however overwrites the current branch to point at B,
when B is a descendant of A (i.e. the rebase ends up being a
fast-forward).  See [1] for the original bug report.

The callstack from checkout_up_to_date() is the following:

cmd_rebase()
-> checkout_up_to_date()
   -> reset_head()
      -> update_refs()
         -> update_ref()

When B is not a valid branch but an oid, rebase sets the head_name
of rebase_options to NULL. This value gets passed down this call
chain through the branch member of reset_head_opts also getting set
to NULL all the way to update_refs().

Then update_refs() checks ropts.branch to decide whether or not to switch
branches. If ropts.branch is NULL, it calls update_ref() to update HEAD.
At this point however, from rebase's point of view, we want a detached
HEAD. But, since checkout_up_to_date() does not set the RESET_HEAD_DETACH
flag, the update_ref() call will deference HEAD and update the branch its
pointing to. We want the HEAD detached at B instead.

Fix this bug by adding the RESET_HEAD_DETACH flag in
checkout_up_to_date if B is not a valid branch, so that once
reset_head() calls update_refs(), it calls update_ref() with
REF_NO_DEREF which updates HEAD directly intead of deferencing it
and updating the branch that HEAD points to.

Also add a test to ensure the correct behavior.

Phillip Wood cd1528ef8e rebase --apply: set ORIG_HEAD correctly
At the start of a rebase, ORIG_HEAD is updated to the tip of the
branch being rebased. Unfortunately reset_head() always uses the
current value of HEAD for this which is incorrect if the rebase is
started with "git rebase <upstream> <branch>" as in that case
ORIG_HEAD should be updated to <branch>. This only affects the "apply"
backend as the "merge" backend does not yet use reset_head() for the
initial checkout. Fix this by passing in orig_head when calling
reset_head() and add some regression tests.

Phillip Wood 7700ab087b rebase --apply: fix reflog
move_to_original_branch() passes the message intended for the branch
reflog as `orig_head_msg`. Fix this by adding a `branch_msg` member to
struct reset_head_opts and add a regression test.  Note that these
reflog messages do not respect GIT_REFLOG_ACTION. They are not alone
in that and will be fixed in a future series.

The "merge" backend already has tests that check both the branch and
HEAD reflogs.

Phillip Wood ee464c4e37 rebase: cleanup reset_head() calls
If ORIG_HEAD is not set by passing RESET_ORIG_HEAD then there is no
need to pass anything for reflog_orig_head. In addition to the callers
fixed in this commit move_to_original_branch() also passes
reflog_orig_head without setting ORIG_HEAD. That caller is mistakenly
passing the message it wants to put in the branch reflog which is not
currently possible so we delay fixing that caller until we can pass
the message as the branch reflog.

A later commit will make it a BUG() to pass reflog_orig_head without
RESET_ORIG_HEAD, that changes cannot be done here as it needs to wait
for move_to_original_branch() to be fixed first.

Phillip Wood b7de153bd9 create_autostash(): remove unneeded parameter
The default_reflog parameter of create_autostash() is passed to
reset_head(). However as creating a stash does not involve updating
any refs the parameter is not used by reset_head(). Removing the
parameter from create_autostash() simplifies the callers.

Phillip Wood 1526d0fcfd reset_head(): make default_reflog_action optional
This parameter is only needed when a ref is going to be updated and
the caller does not pass an explicit reflog message. Callers that are
only discarding uncommitted changes in the working tree such as such
as "rebase --skip" or create_autostash() do not update any refs so
should not have to worry about passing this parameter.

This change is not intended to have any user visible changes. The
pointer comparison between `oid` and `&head_oid` checks that the
caller did not pass an oid to be checked out. As no callers pass
RESET_HEAD_RUN_POST_CHECKOUT_HOOK without passing an oid there are
no changes to when the post-checkout hook is run. As update_ref() only
updates the ref if the oid passed to it differs from the current ref
there are no changes to when HEAD is updated.

Phillip Wood 1946d45844 reset_head(): remove action parameter
The only use of the action parameter is to setup the error messages
for unpack_trees(). All but two cases pass either "checkout" or
"reset". The case that passes "reset --hard" would be better passing
"reset" so that the error messages match the builtin reset command
like all the other callers that are doing a reset. The case that
passes "Fast-forwarded" is only updating HEAD and so the parameter is
unused in that case as it does not call unpack_trees(). The value to
pass to setup_unpack_trees_porcelain() can be determined by checking
whether flags contains RESET_HEAD_HARD without the caller having to
specify it.

Phillip Wood 7740ac691d rebase: dereference tags
A rebase started with 'git rebase <A> <B>' is conceptually to first
checkout <B> and run 'git rebase <A>' starting from that state.  'git
rebase --abort' in the middle of such a rebase should take us back to
the state we checked out <B>.

This used to work, even when <B> is a tag that points at a commit,
until Git 2.20.0 when the command was reimplemented in C.  The command
now complains that the tag object itself cannot be checked out, which
may be technically correct but is not what the user asked to do.

Fix this old regression by using lookup_commit_reference_by_name()
when parsing <B>. The scripted version did not need to peel the tag
because the commands it passed the tag to (e.g 'git reset') peeled the
tag themselves.

Johannes Schindelin 5a22a334cb run_auto_maintenance(): implicitly close the object store
Before spawning the auto maintenance, we need to make sure that we
release all open file handles to all the `.pack` files (and MIDX files
and commit-graph files and...) so that the maintenance process has the
freedom to delete those files.

So far, we did this manually every time before calling
`run_auto_maintenance()`. With the new `close_object_store` flag, we can
do that implicitly in that function, which is more robust because future
callers won't be able to forget to close the object store.

Note: this changes behavior slightly, as we previously _always_ closed
the object store, but now we only close the object store when actually
running the auto maintenance. In practice, this should not matter (if
anything, it might speed up operations where auto maintenance is
disabled).

Elijah Newren 6a5fb96672 Change default merge backend from recursive to ort
There are a few reasons to switch the default:
  * Correctness
  * Extensibility
  * Performance

I'll provide some summaries about each.

=== Correctness ===

The original impetus for a new merge backend was to fix issues that were
difficult to fix within recursive's design.  The success with this goal
is perhaps most easily demonstrated by running the following:

  $ git grep -2 KNOWN_FAILURE t/ | grep -A 4 GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM
  $ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.failure.success t/
  $ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.success.failure t/

In order, these greps show:

  * Seven sets of submodule tests (10 total tests) that fail with
    recursive but succeed with ort
  * 22 other tests that fail with recursive, but succeed with ort
  * 0 tests that pass with recursive, but fail with ort

=== Extensibility ===

Being able to perform merges without touching the working tree or index
makes it possible to create new features that were difficult with the
old backend:

  * Merging, cherry-picking, rebasing, reverting in bare repositories...
    or just on branches that aren't checked out.

  * `git diff AUTO_MERGE` -- ability to see what changes the user has
    made to resolve conflicts so far (see commit 5291828df8 ("merge-ort:
    write $GIT_DIR/AUTO_MERGE whenever we hit a conflict", 2021-03-20)

  * A --remerge-diff option for log/show, used to show diffs for merges
    that display the difference between what an automatic merge would
    have created and what was recorded in the merge.  (This option will
    often result in an empty diff because many merges are clean, but for
    the non-clean ones it will show how conflicts were fixed including
    the removal of conflict markers, and also show additional changes
    made outside of conflict regions to e.g. fix semantic conflicts.)

  * A --remerge-diff-only option for log/show, similar to --remerge-diff
    but also showing how cherry-picks or reverts differed from what an
    automatic cherry-pick or revert would provide.

The last three have been implemented already (though only one has been
submitted upstream so far; the others were waiting for performance work
to complete), and I still plan to implement the first one.

=== Performance ===

I'll quote from the summary of my final optimization for merge-ort
(while fixing the testcase name from 'no-renames' to 'few-renames'):

Andrzej Hunt b54cf3a766 builtin/rebase: fix options.strategy memory lifecycle
- cmd_rebase populates rebase_options.strategy with newly allocated
  strings, hence we need to free those strings at the end of cmd_rebase
  to avoid a leak.
- In some cases: get_replay_opts() is called, which prepares replay_opts
  using data from rebase_options. We used to simply copy the pointer
  from rebase_options.strategy,  however that would now result in a
  double-free because sequencer_remove_state() is eventually used to
  free replay_opts.strategy. To avoid this we xstrdup() strategy when
  adding it to replay_opts.

The original leak happens because we always populate
rebase_options.strategy, but we don't always enter the path that calls
get_replay_opts() and later sequencer_remove_state() - in  other words
we'd always allocate a new string into rebase_options.strategy but
only sometimes did we free it. We now make sure that rebase_options
and replay_opts both own their own copies of strategy, and each copy
is free'd independently.

This was first seen when running t0021 with LSAN, but t2012 helped catch
the fact that we can't just free(options.strategy) at the end of
cmd_rebase (as that can cause a double-free). LSAN output from t0021:

brian m. carlson 14228447c9 hash: provide per-algorithm null OIDs
Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a
hash.  Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros)
object ID among all hash algorithms.  Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.

Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 9bcde4d531 rebase: remove transitory rebase.useBuiltin setting & env
Remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting and the now-obsolete
GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN test flag.

This was left in place after my d03ebd411c (rebase: remove the
rebase.useBuiltin setting, 2019-03-18) to help anyone who'd used the
experimental flag and wanted to know that it was the default, or that
they should transition their test environment to use the builtin
rebase unconditionally.

It's been more than long enough for those users to get a headsup about
this. So remove all the scaffolding that was left inplace after
d03ebd411c. I'm also removing the documentation entry, if anyone
still has this left in their configuration they can do some source
archaeology to figure out what it used to do, which makes more sense
than exposing every git user reading the documentation to this legacy
configuration switch.

Elijah Newren 5291828df8 merge-ort: write $GIT_DIR/AUTO_MERGE whenever we hit a conflict
There are a variety of questions users might ask while resolving
conflicts:
  * What changes have been made since the previous (first) parent?
  * What changes are staged?
  * What is still unstaged? (or what is still conflicted?)
  * What changes did I make to resolve conflicts so far?
The first three of these have simple answers:
  * git diff HEAD
  * git diff --cached
  * git diff
There was no way to answer the final question previously.  Adding one
is trivial in merge-ort, since it works by creating a tree representing
what should be written to the working copy complete with conflict
markers.  Simply write that tree to .git/AUTO_MERGE, allowing users to
answer the fourth question with
  * git diff AUTO_MERGE

I avoided using a name like "MERGE_AUTO", because that would be
merge-specific (much like MERGE_HEAD, REBASE_HEAD, REVERT_HEAD,
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD) and I wanted a name that didn't change depending on
which type of operation the merge was part of.

Ensure that paths which clean out other temporary operation-specific
files (e.g. CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, MERGE_MSG, rebase-merge/ state directory)
also clean out this AUTO_MERGE file.

Phillip Wood e100bea481 rebase -i: stop overwriting ORIG_HEAD buffer
After rebasing, ORIG_HEAD is supposed to point to the old HEAD of the
rebased branch.  The code used find_unique_abbrev() to obtain the
object name of the old HEAD and wrote to both
.git/rebase-merge/orig-head (used by `rebase --abort` to go back to
the previous state) and to ORIG_HEAD.  The buffer find_unique_abbrev()
gives back is volatile, unfortunately, and was overwritten after the
former file is written but before ORIG_FILE is written, leaving an
incorrect object name in it.

Avoid relying on the volatile buffer of find_unique_abbrev(), and
instead supply our own buffer to keep the object name.

I think that all of the users of head_hash should actually be using
opts->orig_head instead as passing a string rather than a struct
object_id around is a hang over from the scripted implementation. This
patch just fixes the immediate bug and adds a regression test based on
Caspar's reproduction example[1]. The users will be converted to use
struct object_id and head_hash removed in the next few commits.

Elijah Newren 14c4586c2d merge,rebase,revert: select ort or recursive by config or environment
Allow the testsuite to run where it treats requests for "recursive" or
the default merge algorithm via consulting the environment variable
GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM which is expected to either be "recursive" (the
old traditional algorithm) or "ort" (the new algorithm).

Also, allow folks to pick the new algorithm via config setting.  It
turns out builtin/merge.c already had a way to allow users to specify a
different default merge algorithm: pull.twohead.  Rather odd
configuration name (especially to be in the 'pull' namespace rather than
'merge') but it's there.  Add that same configuration to rebase,
cherry-pick, and revert.

This required updating the various callsites that called merge_trees()
or merge_recursive() to conditionally call the new API, so this serves
as another demonstration of what the new API looks and feels like.
There are almost certainly some callsites that have not yet been
modified to work with the new merge algorithm, but this represents the
ones that I have been testing with thus far.

Bradley M. Kuhn 3abd4a67d9 Documentation: stylistically normalize references to Signed-off-by:
Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.

Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.

First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation.  So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.

The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425 (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line".  Commit 6f855371a5 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match.  Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.

Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon.  Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.

Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message".  As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.

However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

Derrick Stolee a95ce12430 maintenance: replace run_auto_gc()
The run_auto_gc() method is used in several places to trigger a check
for repo maintenance after some Git commands, such as 'git commit' or
'git fetch'.

To allow for extra customization of this maintenance activity, replace
the 'git gc --auto [--quiet]' call with one to 'git maintenance run
--auto [--quiet]'. As we extend the maintenance builtin with other
steps, users will be able to select different maintenance activities.

Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is
happening on this call, and to expose all callers in the current diff.
Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls
slightly.

Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto'
subprocess, add an equivalent option with a different name to be more
descriptive of the new behavior: '--[no-]maintenance'. Update the
documentation to include these options at the same time.

that the available options are different depending on which backend is
used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the --ignore-date
option to the merge backend. This option uses the current time as the

Jeff King d70a9eb611 strvec: rename struct fields
The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array,
but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use
for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well
when combined with typical variable names like "args.v").

Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing

Jeff King f6d8942b1f strvec: fix indentation in renamed calls
Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like:

  argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument",
                   "another argument", "and more",
		   NULL);

was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in
mis-matched indentation like:

  strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument",
                   "another argument", "and more",
		   NULL);

Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did
this manually by sifting through the results of:

  git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$'

and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are
of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had
originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of
aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious
cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit
on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or
more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it
wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

Jeff King 22f9b7f3f5 strvec: convert builtin/ callers away from argv_array name
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).

This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a
manageable size.

The conversion was done purely mechanically with:

  git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
  xargs perl -i -pe '
    s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
    s/argv_array/strvec/g;
  '

and then selectively staging files with "git add builtin/". We'll deal
with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

Rohit Ashiwal ef484add9f rebase -i: add --ignore-whitespace flag
Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and
'merge' each of which support a different set of options. In
particular the apply backend supports a number of options implemented
by 'git am' that are not implemented in the merge backend. This means
that the available options are different depending on which backend is
used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the
--ignore-whitespace option to the merge backend. This option treats
lines with only whitespace changes as unchanged and is implemented in
the merge backend by translating it to -Xignore-space-change.

In a03b55530a (merge: teach --autostash option, 2020-04-07), the
--autostash option was introduced for `git merge`. Notably, when
`git merge --quit` is run with an autostash entry present, it is saved
into the stash reflog. This is contrasted with the current behaviour of
`git rebase --quit` where the autostash entry is simply just dropped out
of existence.

Adopt the behaviour of `git merge --quit` in `git rebase --quit` and
save the autostash entry into the stash reflog instead of just deleting
it.

Denton Liu 203c85339f Use OPT_CALLBACK and OPT_CALLBACK_F
In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a
plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and
OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct
definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to
developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy
happening.

Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or
OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the
following (disgusting) shell script:

	#!/bin/sh

	do_replacement () {
		tr '\n' '\r' |
			sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' |
			sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK_F(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6,\7)/g' |
			tr '\r' '\n'
	}

	for f in $(git ls-files \*.c)
	do
		do_replacement <"$f" >"$f.tmp"
		mv "$f.tmp" "$f"
	done

The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the
style of the surrounding code. Finally, using
`git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled
by the script were manually transformed.

Jonathan Tan 0fcb4f6b62 rebase --merge: optionally skip upstreamed commits
When rebasing against an upstream that has had many commits since the
original branch was created:

 O -- O -- ... -- O -- O (upstream)
  \
   -- O (my-dev-branch)

it must read the contents of every novel upstream commit, in addition to
the tip of the upstream and the merge base, because "git rebase"
attempts to exclude commits that are duplicates of upstream ones. This
can be a significant performance hit, especially in a partial clone,
wherein a read of an object may end up being a fetch.

Add a flag to "git rebase" to allow suppression of this feature. This
flag only works when using the "merge" backend.

This flag changes the behavior of sequencer_make_script(), called from
do_interactive_rebase() <- run_rebase_interactive() <-
run_specific_rebase() <- cmd_rebase(). With this flag, limit_list()
(indirectly called from sequencer_make_script() through
prepare_revision_walk()) will no longer call cherry_pick_list(), and
thus PATCHSAME is no longer set. Refraining from setting PATCHSAME both
means that the intermediate commits in upstream are no longer read (as
shown by the test) and means that no PATCHSAME-caused skipping of
commits is done by sequencer_make_script(), either directly or through
make_script_with_merges().

Elijah Newren b9cbd2958f rebase: reinstate --no-keep-empty
Commit d48e5e21da ("rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the
default", 2020-02-15) turned --keep-empty (for keeping commits which
start empty) into the default.  The logic underpinning that commit was:

  1) 'git commit' errors out on the creation of empty commits without an
     override flag
  2) Once someone determines that the override is worthwhile, it's
     annoying and/or harmful to required them to take extra steps in
     order to keep such commits around (and to repeat such steps with
     every rebase).

While the logic on which the decision was made is sound, the result was
a bit of an overcorrection.  Instead of jumping to having --keep-empty
being the default, it jumped to making --keep-empty the only available
behavior.  There was a simple workaround, though, which was thought to
be good enough at the time.  People could still drop commits which
started empty the same way the could drop any commits: by firing up an
interactive rebase and picking out the commits they didn't want from the
list.  However, there are cases where external tools might create enough
empty commits that picking all of them out is painful.  As such, having
a flag to automatically remove start-empty commits may be beneficial.

Provide users a way to drop commits which start empty using a flag that
existed for years: --no-keep-empty.  Interpret --keep-empty as
countermanding any previous --no-keep-empty, but otherwise leaving
--keep-empty as the default.

This might lead to some slight weirdness since commands like
  git rebase --empty=drop --keep-empty
  git rebase --empty=keep --no-keep-empty
look really weird despite making perfect sense (the first will drop
commits which become empty, but keep commits that started empty; the
second will keep commits which become empty, but drop commits which
started empty).  However, --no-keep-empty was named years ago and we are
predominantly keeping it for backward compatibility; also we suspect it
will only be used rarely since folks already have a simple way to drop
commits they don't want with an interactive rebase.

Denton Liu a03b55530a merge: teach --autostash option
In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree
to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This
option is missing in merge, however.

Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash`
option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after.

This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic
branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch.
Previously, they had to run something like

	git fetch ...
	git stash push
	git merge FETCH_HEAD
	git stash pop

but now, that is reduced to

	git fetch ...
	git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD

When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the
worktree only in three explicit situations:

	1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`.
	2. A merge completes successfully.
	3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`.

In all other situations where the merge state is removed using
remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via
`git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog
instead keeping the worktree clean.

Denton Liu 86ed00aff4 rebase: use apply_autostash() from sequencer.c
The apply_autostash() function in builtin/rebase.c is similar enough to
the apply_autostash() function in sequencer.c that they are almost
interchangeable, except for the type of arg they accept. Make the
sequencer.c version extern and use it in rebase.

The rebase version was introduced in 6defce2b02 (builtin rebase: support

It opted to duplicate the function because, at the time, there was
another in-progress project converting interactive rebase from shell to
C as well and they did not want to clash with them by refactoring
sequencer.c version of apply_autostash(). Since both efforts are long

Alban Gruin 240fc04f81 builtin/rebase: remove a call to get_oid() on `options.switch_to'
When `options.switch_to' is set, `options.orig_head' is populated right
after with the object name the ref/commit argument points at.

Therefore, there is no need to parse `switch_to' again.

Eric Sunshine b5cabb4a96 rebase: refuse to switch to branch already checked out elsewhere
The invocation "git rebase <upstream> <branch>" switches to <branch>
before performing the rebase operation. However, unlike git-switch,
git-checkout, and git-worktree which all refuse to switch to a branch
that is already checked out in some other worktree, git-rebase switches
to <branch> unconditionally. Curb this careless behavior by making
git-rebase also refuse to switch to a branch checked out elsewhere.

Elijah Newren 10cdb9f38a rebase: rename the two primary rebase backends
Two related changes, with separate rationale for each:

Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because:
  * 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used
    for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used
    in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones
    given that we are making it the default.
  * 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is.
  * the directory where state is stored is not called
    .git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge.

Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because:
  * Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point.
  * Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the
    documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read
    it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large
    burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very
    careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces
    annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems.
  * Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a
    backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the
    alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user
    tries to explain to another what they are doing.
  * While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am
    is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools
    for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too.
  * The directory where state is stored has never been called
    .git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply.

For all the reasons listed above:
  * Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names
  * Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names
    to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere
    (e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation)
  * Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply
  * Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new
    backend names for us as well.

Elijah Newren 2ac0d6273f rebase: change the default backend from "am" to "merge"
The am-backend drops information and thus limits what we can do:

  * lack of full tree information from the original commits means we
    cannot do directory rename detection and warn users that they might
    want to move some of their new files that they placed in old
    directories to prevent their becoming orphaned.[1]
  * reduction in context from only having a few lines beyond those
    changed means that when context lines are non-unique we can apply
    patches incorrectly.[2]
  * lack of access to original commits means that conflict marker
    annotation has less information available.
  * the am backend has safety problems with an ill-timed interrupt.

Also, the merge/interactive backend have far more abilities, appear to
currently have a slight performance advantage[3] and have room for more
optimizations than the am backend[4] (and work is underway to take
advantage of some of those possibilities).
