After making commits (either by pulling or doing their own work) after a
failed "am", the user will be reminded by next "am" invocation that there
was a failed "am" that the user needs to decide to resolve or to get rid
of the old "am" attempt. The "am --abort" option was meant to help the
latter. However, it rewinded the HEAD back to the beginning of the failed
"am" attempt, discarding commits made (perhaps by mistake) since.

In certain situations, commit authorship can consist of an invalid
e-mail address. For example, this is the case when working with git svn
repos where the author email has had the svn repo UUID appended such as:
author@example.com <author@example.com@deadbeef-dead-beef-dead-beefdeadbeef>
Given such an address, mailinfo extracts the authorship incorrectly as
it assumes a valid domain. However, when rebasing the original
authorship should be preserved irrespective of its validity as an email
address.
Using get_author_ident_from_commit instead of mailinfo when rebasing
preserves the original authorship.

Particularly in the context of rebase, conflicts frequently occur
because the change in the patch to be applied was made obsolete by new
upstream commits. In this case, solving the conflict effectively means
skipping the patch. However, it's not always readily apparent that the
patch needs to be skipped, and when people solve the conflict and try
git rebase --continue, they get confronted with a message of
No changes - did you forget to use 'git add'?
That's not very helpful if you did actually stage your changes and they
happen to turn the patch into a no-op. This extends the message to point
out what's going on.

"git am -3" first tries to apply the patch without any extra trick, and
applies it to a synthesized tree for 3-way merge after the first attempt
fails. "git apply" exits with status 1 for a patch that is well-formed
but is not applicable (and it dies on other errors with non-zereo, non-1
status) and has an optimization to fall back to the 3-way merge only in
the case.
An earlier patch 3ddd170 (am: suppress apply errors when using 3-way,
2009-06-16) squelched diagnostic messages from the first attempt, not to
be shown to the end user. This worked reasonably well if the reason the
first application failed was because the patch was made against a wrong
version.
When the patch is corrupt (e.g. line-wrapped or leading whitespaces got
dropped), however, because the second patch application is not even
attempted, the error message from the first application is never shown
and is forever lost. This message is necessary to locate where the patch
is corrupt and fix it up.
We could fix this issue by reverting 3dd170, or keeping the error message
to somewhere and showing it, but because this is an error codepath, the
easiest is to disable the optimization. The second patch application is
attempted even when the input is corrupt, and it will notice, diagnose,
and stop with an error message.

We have to deal with two separate code paths: a normal rebase, which

The only small issue with both is that they need to remember the

already puts this information in $dotest/current, and we just
introduce a similar file for git-am.
Note that in git-am, the hook really only runs when coming from

However, when you know you are feeding output from "git format-patch"

- If $GIT_PAGER is set to the empty string, instead of passing

Ever since the initial implementation, "git am" had kept a dead code that
never triggered due to a typo in the variable name. Worse yet, the code,
if it weren't for the typo, would have attempted to add "[PATCH] " at the
beginning of the Subject: header when "git am" is run with its "-k"
option. However, because "git am -k" tells mailinfo to keep such prefix
when parsing the input, the "[PATCH] " added by this dead code would have
really been unnecessary duplicate.
Embarrassing is that we kept _maintaining_ the codepath without anybody
noticing for four years.

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.

We traditionally allowed a mbox file or a directory name of a maildir (but
never an individual file inside a maildir) to be given to "git am". Even
though an individual file in a maildir (or more generally, a piece of
RFC2822 e-mail) is not a mbox file, it contains enough information to
create a commit out of it, so there is no reason to reject one. Running
mailsplit on such a file feels stupid, but it does not hurt.
This builds on top of a5a6755 (git-am foreign patch support: introduce
patch_format, 2009-05-27) that introduced mailbox format detection. The
codepath to deal with a mbox requires it to begin with "From " line and
also allows it to begin with "From: ", but a random piece of e-mail can
and often do begin with any valid RFC2822 header lines.
Instead of checking the first line, we extract all the lines up to the
first empty line, and make sure they look like e-mail headers.

head -n<n> is portable, but sed <n>q is even more.

POSIX allows echo without flag to interpret specials such as \n, and we
tried to make things portable by using printf instead where it matters.
Recently added code to "git am" had unprotected "echo", which was caught
by t4014 and Rémi Vanicat.
This should fix it.

This moves the assignment to FIRSTLINE down so that we do not have
to have multiple copies.

Traditionally git-rebase was implemented in terms of "format-patch" piped
to "am -3", to strike balance between speed (because it avoids a rather
expensive read-tree/merge-recursive machinery most of the time) and
flexibility (the magic "-3" allows it to fall back to 3-way merge as
necessary). However, this combination has one flaw when dealing with a
nonstandard commit log message format that has more than one lines in the
first paragraph.
This teaches "git am --rebasing" to take advantage of the fact that the
mbox message "git rebase" prepares for it records the original commit
object name, to get the log message from the original commit object
instead.

* maint-1.5.4:
git-bisect: make "start", "good" and "skip" succeed or fail atomically
git-am: cope better with an empty Subject: line
Ignore leading empty lines while summarizing merges
bisect: squelch "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref" misleading message
builtin-apply: Show a more descriptive error on failure when opening a patch
Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shell
When the Subject: line is empty for whatever reason, git-am was fooled by
it and left an empty line at the beginning of the resulting commit log
message.
This moves the logic around so that we do not keep $SUBJECT in a separate
variable. Instead, $dotest/msg-clean, which used to be the log message
body extracted from the message and then trailing whitespaces cleansed
out, now contains the subject line followed by a blank line at the
beginning for normal messages, and we use the first line from the file as
the summary line throughout the program.

The "-n" syntax is not supported by System V versions of
tail (which prefer "tail -1"). Unfortunately "tail -1" is
not actually POSIX. We had some of both forms in our
scripts.
Since neither form works everywhere, this patch replaces
both with the equivalent sed invocation:
sed -ne '$p'
