rebase -m: fix --signoff with conflicts

When rebasing with "--signoff" the commit created by "rebase --continue"
after resolving conflicts or editing a commit fails to add the
"Signed-off-by:" trailer. This happens because the message from the
original commit is reused instead of the one that would have been used
if the sequencer had not stopped for the user interaction. The correct
message is stored in ctx->message and so with a couple of exceptions
this is written to rebase_path_message() when stopping for user
interaction instead. The exceptions are (i) "fixup" and "squash"
commands where the file is written by error_failed_squash() and (ii)
"edit" commands that are fast-forwarded where the original message is
still reused. The latter is safe because "--signoff" will never
fast-forward.

Note this introduces a change in behavior as the message file now
contains conflict comments. This is safe because commit_staged_changes()
passes an explicit cleanup flag when not editing the message and when
the message is being edited it will be cleaned up automatically. This
means user now sees the same message comments in editor with "rebase
--continue" as they would if they ran "git commit" themselves before
continuing the rebase. It also matches the behavior of "git
cherry-pick", "git merge" etc. which all list the files with merge
conflicts.

The tests are extended to check that all commits made after continuing a
rebase have a "Signed-off-by:" trailer. Sadly there are a couple of
leaks in apply.c which I've not been able to track down that mean this
test file is no-longer leak free when testing "git rebase --apply
--signoff" with conflicts.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of “get” may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • “global information tracker”: you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • “goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t”: when it breaks
