938791cd01 git-rebase--interactive.sh: use printf instead of echo to print commit message
On systems with an echo which defaults to the XSI-conformant behavior
(Solaris, or others using Ksh), echo will interpret certain backslashed
characters as control sequences.  This can cause a problem for interactive
rebase when it is used to rebase commits whose commit "subject" (the first
line) contains any of these backslashed sequences.  In this case, echo will
substitute the control sequence for the backslashed characters and either
the rebased commit message will differ from the original, or the rebase
process will fail.  Neither is desirable.

So work around this issue by replacing the echo statements used to print
out portions of the commit message, with printf.

Also, add a test to test for this breakage.

41f556b947 rebase-i: style fix
Case arms should align with "case" and "esac".

Do not cat a file into a pipeline; just make the downstream command
read from the file.

Having a while statement as a downstream of a pipe is fine, but
the loop should begin on its own line.

b096374f4a rebase -i: Abort cleanly if new base cannot be checked out
Untracked content in the working tree may prevent rebase -i from checking out
the new base onto which it wants to replay commits, if the new base commit
includes files at those (now untracked) paths. Currently, rebase -i dies
uncleanly in this situation, updating ORIG_HEAD and leaving a useless
.git/rebase-merge directory, with which the user can do nothing useful except
rebase --abort. Make rebase -i abort the procedure itself instead, as
non-interactive rebase already does, and add a test for this behavior.

77bc694907 rebase-interactive: silence warning when no commits rewritten
If you do a "rebase -i" and don't change any commits,
nothing is rewritten, and we have no REWRITTEN_LIST. The
shell prints out an ugly message:

  $ GIT_EDITOR=true git rebase -i HEAD^
  /path/to/git-rebase--interactive: 1: cannot open
    /path/to/repo/.git/rebase-merge/rewritten-list: No such file
  Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/master.

We can fix it by not running "notes copy" at all if nothing
was rewritten.

0acb62f202 rebase -i: make post-rewrite work for 'edit'
The post-rewrite support, in the form of the call to
'record_in_rewritten', was hidden in the arm where we have to record a
new commit for the user.  This meant that it was never invoked in the
case where the user has already amended the commit by herself.

[The test is designed to exercise both arms of the 'if' in question.]

Furthermore, recording the stopped-sha (the SHA1 of the commit before
the editing) suffered from a cut&paste error from die_with_patch and
used the wrong variable, hence it never recorded anything.

Noticed by Junio.

b499549401 Teach rebase the --no-ff option.
For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.

For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in
the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits.

--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges.  Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the
committer time is different).  This obviates the need to revert the
reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly.  Added an
addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to
use --no-ff to handle it.

3fa7c3da37 work around an obnoxious bash "safety feature" on OpenBSD
Bash (4.0.24) on OpenBSD 4.6 refuses to run this snippet:

    $ cat gomi.sh
    #!/bin/sh
    one="/var/tmp/1 1"
    rm -f /var/tmp/1 "/var/tmp/1 1"
    echo hello >$one
    $ sh gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1*
    /var/tmp/1 1
    $ bash gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1*
    gomi.sh: line 4: $one: ambiguous redirect
    ls: /var/tmp/1*: No such file or directory

Every competent shell programmer knows that a <$word in redirection is not
subject to field splitting (POSIX.1 "2.7 Redirection" explicitly lists the
kind of expansion performed: "... the word that follows the redirection
operator shall be subjected to ...", and "Field Splitting" is not among
them).

Some clueless folks apparently decided that users need to be protected in
the name of "security", however.

Output from "git grep -e '> *\$' -- '*.sh'" indicates that rebase-i
suffers from this bogus "safety".  Work it around by surrounding the
variable reference with a dq pair.

76c9c0db3d rebase -i: Export GIT_AUTHOR_* variables explicitly
There is no point doing self-assignments of these variables.  Instead,
just export them to the environment, but do so in a sub-shell, because

	VAR1=VAL1 VAR2=VAL2 ... command arg1 arg2...

does not mark the variables exported if command that is run
is a shell function, according to POSIX.1.

The callers of do_with_author do not rely on seeing the effect of any
shell variable assignments that may happen inside what was called through
this shell function (currently "output" is the only one), so running it in
the subshell doesn't have an adverse semantic effect.

suggested.

Change the handling of conflicts within squash/fixup command series:
Whenever the user is required to intervene, consider the resulting
commit to be a new basis for the following squash/fixups and use its
commit message in later suggested combined commit messages.

e49ca974d6 rebase -i: abort cleanly if the editor fails to launch
If the user's configured editor is emacsclient, the editor
will fail to launch if emacs is not running and the git
command that tried to lanuch the editor will abort. For most
commands, all you have to do is to start emacs and repeat
the command.

The "git rebase -i" command, however, aborts without cleaning
the "$GIT_DIR/rebase-merge" directory if it fails to launch the
editor, so you'll need to do "git rebase --abort" before
repeating the rebase command.

Change "git rebase -i" to terminate using "die_abort" (instead of
with "die") if the initial launch of the editor fails.

e1622bfcba Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity
If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output
from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what
they expect.  For example, we may want to count number of matching lines,
by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use.

The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only
our own use of grep/egrep.  Because we do not unset it at the beginning of
our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to
the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used
to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the
hook scripts to protect themselves.

On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in
the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user
might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly.
The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment
variable globally will allow this use case.
