rebase -m: don't fork git checkout
Now that reset_head() can handle the initial checkout of onto
correctly use it in the "merge" backend instead of forking "git
checkout". This opens the way for us to stop calling the
post-checkout hook in the future. Not running "git checkout" means
that "rebase -i/m" no longer recurse submodules when checking out
"onto" (thanks to Philippe Blain for pointing this out). As the rest
of rebase does not know what to do with submodules this is probably a
good thing. When using merge-ort rebase ought be able to handle
submodules correctly if it parsed the submodule config, such a change
is left for a future patch series.
The "apply" based rebase has avoided forking git checkout
since ac7f467fef ("builtin/rebase: support running "git rebase
<upstream>"", 2018-08-07). The code that handles the checkout was
moved into libgit by b309a97108 ("reset: extract reset_head() from
rebase", 2020-04-07).

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
