The parsing part of a 'drop' command is almost identical to parsing a
'pick', while the operation is the same as that of a 'noop'.

The interactive rebase has the very special magic that a cherry-pick
that exits with a status different from 0 and 1 signifies a failure to
even record that a cherry-pick was started.
This can happen e.g. when a fast-forward fails because it would
overwrite untracked files.
In that case, we must reschedule the command that we thought we already
had at least started successfully.

The sequencer already has an idea about using different merge
strategies. We just piggy-back on top of that, using rebase -i's

Git's `rebase` command inspects the `rebase.autostash` config setting
to determine whether it should stash any uncommitted changes before
rebasing and re-apply them afterwards.
As we introduce more bits and pieces to let the sequencer act as
interactive rebase's backend, here is the part that adds support for
the autostash feature.

The sequencer already knew how to fast-forward instead of

An interactive rebase operates on a detached HEAD (to keep the reflog
of the original branch relatively clean), and updates the branch only
at the end.
Now that the sequencer learns to perform interactive rebases, it also
needs to learn the trick to update the branch before removing the
directory containing the state of the interactive rebase.

When the last command of an interactive rebase fails, the user needs to
resolve the problem and then continue the interactive rebase. Naturally,
the todo script is empty by then. So let's not complain about that!
To that end, let's move that test out of the function that parses the
todo script, and into the more high-level function read_populate_todo().
This is also necessary by now because the lower-level parse_insn_buffer()
has no idea whether we are performing an interactive rebase or not.

When a cherry-pick continues without a "todo script", the intention is
simply to pick a single commit.
However, when an interactive rebase is continued without a "todo

now need to clean up.
This commit guards the revert/cherry-pick specific steps so that they
are not executed in rebase -i mode.

When the interactive rebase aborts, it writes out an author-script file

For users' convenience, most rebase commands can be abbreviated, e.g.

This is a huge patch, and at the same time a huge step forward to
execute the performance-critical parts of the interactive rebase in a
builtin command.
Since 'fixup' and 'squash' are not only similar, but also need to know
about each other (we want to reduce a series of fixups/squashes into a
single, final commit message edit, from the user's point of view), we
really have to implement them both at the same time.
Most of the actual work is done by the existing code path that already
handles the "pick" and the "edit" commands; We added support for other
features (e.g. to amend the commit message) in the patches leading up to
this one, yet there are still quite a few bits in this patch that simply
would not make sense as individual patches (such as: determining whether
there was anything to "fix up" in the "todo" script, etc).
In theory, it would be possible to reuse the fast-forward code path also
for the fixup and the squash code paths, but in practice this would make
the code less readable. The end result cannot be fast-forwarded anyway,
therefore let's just extend the cherry-picking code path for now.
Since the sequencer parses the entire `git-rebase-todo` script in one go,
fixup or squash commands without a preceding pick can be reported early
(in git-rebase--interactive, we could only report such errors just before
executing the fixup/squash).

When calling `git rebase -i -v`, the user wants to see some statistics

The 'exec' command is a little special among rebase -i's commands, as it
does *not* have a SHA-1 as first parameter. Instead, everything after the
`exec` command is treated as command-line to execute.

the oneline for pick/edit commands) to point to the command-line.

This patch is a straight-forward reimplementation of the `edit`
operation of the interactive rebase command.
Well, not *quite* straight-forward: when stopping, the `edit`
command wants to write the `patch` file (which is not only the
patch, but includes the commit message and author information). To
that end, this patch requires the earlier work that taught the
log-tree machinery to respect the `file` setting of
rev_info->diffopt to write to a file stream different than stdout.

The 'noop' command is probably the most boring of all rebase -i commands
to support in the sequencer.
Which makes it an excellent candidate for this first stab to add support
for rebase -i's commands to the sequencer.
For the moment, let's also treat empty lines and commented-out lines as
'noop'; We will refine that handling later in this patch series.
To make it easier to identify "classes" of todo_commands (such as:
determine whether a command is pick-like, i.e. handles a single commit),
let's enforce a certain order of said commands.

This patch introduces a new action for the sequencer. It really does not

behind the "sequencer" concept).

The sequencer was introduced to make the cherry-pick and revert
functionality available as library function, with the original idea
being to extend the sequencer to also implement the rebase -i
functionality.
The test to ensure that all of the commands in the script are identical
to the overall operation does not mesh well with that.
Therefore let's disable the test in rebase -i mode.
While at it, error out early if the "instruction sheet" (i.e. the todo
script) could not be parsed.

The write_message() function safely writes an strbuf to a file.
Sometimes it is inconvenient to require an strbuf, though: the text to
be written may not be stored in a strbuf, or the strbuf should not be
released after writing.
Let's refactor "safely writing string to a file" into
write_with_lock_file(), and make write_message() use it. The new
function makes it easy to create new convenience function
write_file_gently(); As some of the upcoming callers of this new
function would want to append a newline character, add a flag for it in
write_file_gently(), and thus in write_with_lock_file().

The sequencer_commit() function already knows how to amend commits, and

In the upcoming commits, we will implement more and more of rebase
-i's functionality. One particular feature of the commands to come is
that some of them allow editing the commit message while others don't,
i.e. we cannot define in the replay_opts whether the commit message
should be edited or not.
Let's add a new parameter to the sequencer_commit() function. Previously,
it was the duty of the caller to ensure that the opts->edit setting
indicates whether to let the user edit the commit message or not,
indicating that it is an "all or nothing" setting, i.e. that the sequencer
wants to let the user edit *all* commit message, or none at all. In the
upcoming rebase -i mode, it will depend on the particular command that is
currently executed, though.

As we are slowly teaching the sequencer to perform the hard work for
the interactive rebase, we need to read files that were written by

In interactive rebases, we commit a little bit differently than the
sequencer did so far: we heed the "author-script", the "message" and
the "amend" files in the .git/rebase-merge/ subdirectory.
Likewise, we may want to edit the commit message *even* when providing
a file containing the suggested commit message. Therefore we change the
code to not even provide a default message when we do not want any, and
to call the editor explicitly.
As interactive rebase's GPG settings are configured differently from
how cherry-pick (and therefore sequencer) handles them, we will leave
support for that to the next commit.

The `git-rebase-todo` file contains a list of commands. Most of those
commands have the form
<verb> <sha1> <oneline>
The <oneline> is displayed primarily for the user's convenience, as
rebase -i really interprets only the <verb> <sha1> part. However, there
are *some* places in interactive rebase where the <oneline> is used to
display messages, e.g. for reporting at which commit we stopped.
So let's just remember it when parsing the todo file; we keep a copy of
the entire todo file anyway (to write out the new `done` and
`git-rebase-todo` file just before processing each command), so all we
need to do is remember the begin offsets and lengths.
As we will have to parse and remember the command-line for `exec` commands
later, we do not call the field "oneline" but rather "arg" (and will reuse
that for exec's command-line).

Not only does this DRY up the code (providing a better documentation what

unnecessary level of indirection: we can simply call the correct

When we came up with the "sequencer" idea, we really wanted to have
kind of a plumbing equivalent of the interactive rebase. Hence the
choice of words: the "todo" script, a "pick", etc.
However, when it came time to implement the entire shebang, somehow this
idea got lost and the sequencer was used as working horse for
cherry-pick and revert instead. So as not to interfere with the
interactive rebase, it even uses a separate directory to store its
state.
Furthermore, it also is stupidly strict about the "todo" script it
accepts: while it parses commands in a way that was *designed* to be
similar to the interactive rebase, it then goes on to *error out* if the
commands disagree with the overall action (cherry-pick or revert).
Finally, the sequencer code chose to deviate from the interactive rebase
code insofar that it *reformats* the "todo" script instead of just
writing the part of the parsed script that were not yet processed. This
is not only unnecessary churn, but might well lose information that is
valuable to the user (i.e. comments after the commands).
Let's just bite the bullet and rewrite the entire parser; the code now
becomes not only more elegant: it allows us to go on and teach the
sequencer how to parse *true* "todo" scripts as used by the interactive
rebase itself. In a way, the sequencer is about to grow up to do its
older brother's job. Better.
While at it, do not stop at the first problem, but list *all* of the
problems. This will help the user when the sequencer will do `rebase
-i`'s work by allowing to address all issues in one go rather than going
back and forth until the todo list is valid.

The sequencer is our attempt to lib-ify cherry-pick. Yet it behaves
like a one-shot command when it reads its configuration: memory is
allocated and released only when the command exits.
This is kind of okay for git-cherry-pick, which *is* a one-shot
command. All the work to make the sequencer its work horse was
done to allow using the functionality as a library function, though,
including proper clean-up after use.
This patch introduces an API to pass the responsibility of releasing
certain memory to the sequencer. Example:
const char *label =
sequencer_entrust(opts, xstrfmt("From: %s", email));
The entrusted memory will remain valid until sequencer_remove_state() is
called, or the program exits, whichever comes first.
