* Merge branch 'gr/rebase-i-drop-warn'Junio C Hamano2015-08-031-0/+9
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "drop commit-object-name subject" command as another way to skip replaying of a commit in "rebase -i", and then punish those who do not use it (and instead just remove the lines) by throwing a warning. * gr/rebase-i-drop-warn: git rebase -i: add static check for commands and SHA-1 git rebase -i: warn about removed commits git-rebase -i: add command "drop" to remove a commit
| * git rebase -i: warn about removed commitsGalan Rémi2015-06-301-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Check if commits were removed (i.e. a line was deleted) and print warnings or stop git rebase depending on the value of the configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck. This patch gives the user the possibility to avoid silent loss of information (losing a commit through deleting the line in this case) if he wants. Add the configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck. - When unset or set to "ignore", no checking is done. - When set to "warn", the commits are checked, warnings are displayed but git rebase still proceeds. - When set to "error", the commits are checked, warnings are displayed and the rebase is stopped. (The user can then use 'git rebase --edit-todo' and 'git rebase --continue', or 'git rebase --abort') rebase.missingCommitsCheck defaults to "ignore".

| * git-rebase -i: add command "drop" to remove a commitGalan Rémi2015-06-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of removing a line to remove the commit, you can use the command "drop" (just like "pick" or "edit"). It has the same effect as deleting the line (removing the commit) except that you keep a visual trace of your actions, allowing a better control and reducing the possibility of removing a commit by mistake.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AsciiDoc misparses some text that contains a `literal` word followed by a fancy `single quote' word, and treats everything from the start of the literal to the end of the quote as a single-quoted phrase. We can work around this by switching the latter to be a literal, as well. In the first case, this is perhaps what was intended anyway, as it makes us consistent with the the earlier literals in the same paragraph. In the second, the output is arguably better, as we will format our commit references as <code> blocks. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ignoring a merge can be read as ignoring the changes a merge commit introduces altogether, as if the entire side branch the merge commit merged was removed from the history. But that is not what happens if "-p" is not specified. What happens is that the individual commits a merge commit introduces are replayed in order, and only any possible merge conflict resolutions or manual amendments to the merge commit are ignored. Get this straight in the docs. Also, do not say that merge commits are *tried* to be recreated. As that is true almost everywhere it is better left unsaid.

* rebase: use reflog to find common base with upstreamJohn Keeping2013-12-101-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 15a147e (rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified, 2011-02-09) says: Make it default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what 'git pull [--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that 'git rebase' defaults to the same thing. but that isn't actually the case. Since commit d44e712 (pull: support rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19), pull has actually chosen the most recent reflog entry which is an ancestor of the current branch if it can find one. Add a '--fork-point' argument to git-rebase that can be used to trigger this behaviour. This option is turned on by default if no non-option arguments are specified on the command line, otherwise we treat an upstream specified on the command-line literally.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In rebase -i --autosquash, ignore all "fixup! " or "squash! " after the first. This supports the case when a git commit --fixup/--squash referred to an earlier fixup/squash instead of the original commit (whether intentionally, as when the user expressly meant to note that the commit fixes an earlier fixup; or inadvertently, as when the user meant to refer to the original commit with :/msg; or out of laziness, as when the user could remember how to refer to the fixup but not the original). In the todo list, the full commit message is preserved, in case it provides useful cues to the user. A test helper set_cat_todo_editor is introduced to check this.

* rebase: implement --[no-]autostash and rebase.autostashRamkumar Ramachandra2013-05-291-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new feature allows a rebase to be executed on a dirty worktree or index. It works by creating a temporary "dangling merge commit" out of the worktree and index changes (via 'git stash create'), and automatically applying it after a successful rebase or abort. rebase stores the SHA-1 hex of the temporary merge commit, along with the rest of the rebase state, in either .git/{rebase-merge,rebase-apply}/autostash depending on the kind of rebase. Since $state_dir is automatically removed at the end of a successful rebase or abort, so is the autostash. The advantage of this approach is that we do not affect the normal stash's reflogs, making the autostash invisible to the end-user. This means that you can use 'git stash' during a rebase as usual. When the autostash application results in a conflict, we push $state_dir/autostash onto the normal stash and remove $state_dir ending the rebase. The user can inspect the stash, and pop or drop at any time. Most significantly, this feature means that a caller like pull (with pull.rebase set to true) can easily be patched to remove the require_clean_work_tree restriction.

Automatically squash the sentinel with any commits rebased directly onto it, so they end up as root commits in their own right and retain their authorship and commit message.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During an interactive rebase session, it is sometimes desirable to run tests on each commit in the resulting history. This can be done by adding "exec <test command>" when editing the insn sheet, but the command used for testing is often the same for all resulting commits. By passing "--exec <cmd>" from the command line, automatically add these "exec" lines after each commit in the final history. To work well with the --autosquash option, these are added at the end of each run of "fixup" and "squash".

In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent.

Defaulting to @{upstream} will make it possible to run e.g. 'git rebase -i' without arguments, which is probably a quite common use case. It also improves the scenario where you have multiple branches that rebase against a remote-tracking branch, where you currently have to choose between the extra network delay of 'git pull' or the slightly awkward keys to enter 'git rebase @{u}'. The error reporting when no upstream is configured for the current branch or when no branch is checked out is reused from git-pull.sh. A function is extracted into git-parse-remote.sh for this purpose.

We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

| * | rebase -i: add exec command to launch a shell commandMatthieu Moy2010-08-111-0/+24
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation command) at given points in history. The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue". This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust enough to deal with lines like exec >"file name with many spaces" in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the whitespace layout.

* | rebase: support -X to pass through strategy optionsMike Lundy2010-08-031-0/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git-rebase calls out to merge strategies, but did not support merge strategy options so far. Add this, in the same style used in git-merge. Sadly we have to do the full quoting/eval dance here, since merge-recursive supports the --subtree=<path> option which potentially contains whitespace. This patch does not cover git rebase -i, which does not call any merge strategy directly except in --preserve-merges, and even then only for merges.

* rebase -i -p: document shortcomingsJonathan Nieder2010-06-111-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rebase --preserve-merges facility presents a list of commits in its instruction sheet and uses a separate table to keep track of their parents. Unfortunately, in practice this means that with -p after most attempts to rearrange patches, some commits have the "wrong" parent and the resulting history is rarely what the caller expected. Yes, it would be nice to fix that. But first, add a warning to the manual to help the uninitiated understand what is going on.

* Teach rebase the --no-ff option.Marc Branchaud2010-03-241-2/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
