As established in the previous commit and commit b00bf1c9a8
(git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default, 2018-06-27), the
behavior for rebase with different backends in various edge or corner
cases is often more happenstance than design. This commit addresses
another such corner case: commits which "become empty".
A careful reader may note that there are two types of commits which would
become empty due to a rebase:
* [clean cherry-pick] Commits which are clean cherry-picks of upstream
commits, as determined by `git log --cherry-mark ...`. Re-applying
these commits would result in an empty set of changes and a
duplicative commit message; i.e. these are commits that have
"already been applied" upstream.
* [become empty] Commits which are not empty to start, are not clean
cherry-picks of upstream commits, but which still become empty after
being rebased. This happens e.g. when a commit has changes which
are a strict subset of the changes in an upstream commit, or when
the changes of a commit can be found spread across or among several
upstream commits.
Clearly, in both cases the changes in the commit in question are found
upstream already, but the commit message may not be in the latter case.
When cherry-mark can determine a commit is already upstream, then
because of how cherry-mark works this means the upstream commit message
was about the *exact* same set of changes. Thus, the commit messages
can be assumed to be fully interchangeable (and are in fact likely to be
completely identical). As such, the clean cherry-pick case represents a
case when there is no information to be gained by keeping the extra
commit around. All rebase types have always dropped these commits, and
no one to my knowledge has ever requested that we do otherwise.
For many of the become empty cases (and likely even most), we will also
be able to drop the commit without loss of information -- but this isn't
quite always the case. Since these commits represent cases that were
not clean cherry-picks, there is no upstream commit message explaining
the same set of changes. Projects with good commit message hygiene will
likely have the explanation from our commit message contained within or
spread among the relevant upstream commits, but not all projects run
that way. As such, the commit message of the commit being rebased may
have reasoning that suggests additional changes that should be made to
adapt to the new base, or it may have information that someone wants to
add as a note to another commit, or perhaps someone even wants to create
an empty commit with the commit message as-is.
Junio commented on the "become-empty" types of commits as follows[1]:
WRT a change that ends up being empty (as opposed to a change that
is empty from the beginning), I'd think that the current behaviour
is desireable one. "am" based rebase is solely to transplant an
existing history and want to stop much less than "interactive" one
whose purpose is to polish a series before making it publishable,
and asking for confirmation ("this has become empty--do you want to
drop it?") is more appropriate from the workflow point of view.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqfu1fswdh.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/
I would simply add that his arguments for "am"-based rebases actually
apply to all non-explicitly-interactive rebases. Also, since we are
stating that different cases should have different defaults, it may be
worth providing a flag to allow users to select which behavior they want
for these commits.
Introduce a new command line flag for selecting the desired behavior:
--empty={drop,keep,ask}
with the definitions:
drop: drop commits which become empty
keep: keep commits which become empty
ask: provide the user a chance to interact and pick what to do with
commits which become empty on a case-by-case basis
In line with Junio's suggestion, if the --empty flag is not specified,
pick defaults as follows:
explicitly interactive: ask
otherwise: drop

Different rebase backends have different treatment for commits which
start empty (i.e. have no changes relative to their parent), and the
--keep-empty option was added at some point to allow adjusting behavior.
The handling of commits which start empty is actually quite similar to
commit b00bf1c9a8 (git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default,
2018-06-27), which pointed out that the behavior for various backends is
often more happenstance than design. The specific change made in that
commit is actually quite relevant as well and much of the logic there
directly applies here.
It makes a lot of sense in 'git commit' to error out on the creation of
empty commits, unless an override flag is provided. However, once
someone determines that there is a rare case that merits using the
manual override to create such a commit, it is somewhere between
annoying and harmful to have to take extra steps to keep such
intentional commits around. Granted, empty commits are quite rare,
which is why handling of them doesn't get considered much and folks tend
to defer to existing (accidental) behavior and assume there was a reason
for it, leading them to just add flags (--keep-empty in this case) that
allow them to override the bad defaults. Fix the interactive backend so
that --keep-empty is the default, much like we did with
--allow-empty-message. The am backend should also be fixed to have
--keep-empty semantics for commits that start empty, but that is not
included in this patch other than a testcase documenting the failure.
Note that there was one test in t3421 which appears to have been written
expecting --keep-empty to not be the default as correct behavior. This
test was introduced in commit 00b8be5a4d ("add tests for rebasing of
empty commits", 2013-06-06), which was part of a series focusing on
rebase topology and which had an interesting original cover letter at
https://lore.kernel.org/git/1347949878-12578-1-git-send-email-martinvonz@gmail.com/
which noted
Your input especially appreciated on whether you agree with the
intent of the test cases.
and then went into a long example about how one of the many tests added
had several questions about whether it was correct. As such, I believe
most the tests in that series were about testing rebase topology with as
many different flags as possible and were not trying to state in general
how those flags should behave otherwise.

git am or rebase have a --skip flag to skip the current commit if the
user wishes to do so. During a cherry-pick or revert a user could
likewise skip a commit, but needs to use 'git reset' (or in the case
of conflicts 'git reset --merge'), followed by 'git (cherry-pick |
revert) --continue' to skip the commit. This is more annoying and
sometimes confusing on the users' part. Add a `--skip` option to make
skipping commits easier for the user and to make the commands more
consistent.

As the checkout runs in a separate process our index will be out of date
so it should be discarded. The existing callers are not doing this
consistently so do it here to avoid the callers having to worry about
it.
This fixes some test failures that happen if do_interactive_rebase() is
called without forking rebase--interactive which we will implement
shortly. Running
git rebase -i master topic
starting on master created empty todo lists because all the commits in
topic were marked as cherry-picks. After topic was checked out in
prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() the working tree contained the contents
from topic but the index contained master and the cache entries were
still valid. This meant that diff_populate_filespec() which loads the
blobs when calculating patch-id's ended up reading the contents for
master from the working tree which actually contained topic.

When cherry-picking or reverting a sequence of commits and if the final
pick/revert has conflicts and the user uses `git commit` to commit the
conflict resolution and does not run `git cherry-pick --continue` then
the sequencer state is left behind. This can cause problems later. In my
case I cherry-picked a sequence of commits the last one of which I
committed with `git commit` after resolving some conflicts, then a while
later, on a different branch I aborted a revert which rewound my HEAD to
the end of the cherry-pick sequence on the previous branch. Avoid this
potential problem by removing the sequencer state if we're committing or

Instead of inserting the `exec' commands between the other commands and
re-parsing the buffer at the end, they are appended to the buffer once,
and a new list of items is created. Items from the old list are copied
across and new `exec' items are appended when necessary. This
eliminates the need to reparse the buffer, but this also means we have
to use todo_list_write_to_disk() to write the file.
todo_list_add_exec_commands() and sequencer_add_exec_commands() are

command. This makes it easier to insert a new command to the todo list
for each command to execute.

This introduces a new function to recreate the text of a todo list from
its commands and write it to a file. This will be useful as the next
few commits will change the use of the buffer in struct todo_list so it
will no longer be a mirror of the file on disk.
This functionality already exists in todo_list_transform(), but this
function was made to replace the buffer of a todo list, which is not
what we want here. Thus, the part of todo_list_transform() that
replaces the buffer is dropped, and the function is renamed
todo_list_to_strbuf(). It is called by todo_list_write_to_file() to
fill the buffer to write to the disk.
todo_list_write_to_file() can also take care of appending the help text
to the buffer before writing it to the disk, or to write only the first
n items of the list. This feature will be used by
skip_unnecessary_picks(), which has to write done commands in a file.

This refactors transform_todos() to work on a todo_list. The function
is renamed todo_list_transform().
As rebase -p still need to check the todo list from the disk, a new
function is introduced, transform_todo_file(). It is still used by
complete_action() and edit_todo_list() for now, but they will be
replaced in a future commit.
todo_list_transform() is not a static function, because it will be used
by edit_todo_list() from rebase-interactive.c in a future commit.

The 'arg' field of todo_item used to store the address of the first byte
of the parameter of a command in a todo list. It was associated with
the length of the parameter (the 'arg_len' field).
This replaces the 'arg' field by 'arg_offset'. This new field does not
store the address of the parameter, but the position of the first
character of the parameter in the buffer. todo_item_get_arg() is added
to return the address of the parameter of an item.
This will prevent todo_list_add_exec_commands() from having to do awful
pointer arithmetics when growing the todo list buffer.

This makes the structures todo_list and todo_item, and the functions
todo_list_release() and parse_insn_buffer(), accessible outside of
sequencer.c.

While 'quiet' and 'interactive' may sound like antonyms, the interactive
machinery actually has logic that implements several
interactive_rebase=implied cases (--exec, --keep-empty, --rebase-merges)
which won't pop up an editor. The rewrite of interactive rebase in C
added a quiet option, though it only turns stats off. Since we want to
make the interactive machinery also take over for git-rebase--merge, it
should fully implement the --quiet option.
git-rebase--interactive was already somewhat quieter than
git-rebase--merge and git-rebase--am, possibly because cherry-pick has
just traditionally been quieter. As such, we only drop a few
informational messages -- "Rebasing (n/m)" and "Successfully rebased..."
Also, for simplicity, remove the differences in how quiet and verbose
options were recorded. Having one be signalled by the presence of a
"verbose" file in the state_dir, while the other was signalled by the
contents of a "quiet" file was just weirdly inconsistent. (This
inconsistency pre-dated the rewrite into C.) Make them consistent by
having them both key off the presence of the file.

A common use case for the `--exec` option is to verify that each commit
in a topic branch compiles cleanly, via `git rebase -x make <base>`.
However, when an `exec` in such a rebase fails, it is not re-scheduled,
which in this instance is not particularly helpful.
Let's offer a flag to reschedule failed `exec` commands.
Based on an idea by Paul Morelle.

Unify code to read the author-script used in "git am" and the
commands that use the sequencer machinery, e.g. "git rebase -i".
* pw/am-rebase-read-author-script:
sequencer: use read_author_script()
add read_author_script() to libgit
am: rename read_author_script()
am: improve author-script error reporting
am: don't die in read_author_script()
