rebase --skip: fix commit message clean up when skipping squash During a series of "fixup" and/or "squash" commands, the interactive rebase accumulates a commit message from all the commits that are being squashed together. If one of the commits has conflicts when it is picked and the user chooses to skip that commit then we need to remove that commit's message from accumulated messages. To do this 15ef69314d5 (rebase --skip: clean up commit message after a failed fixup/squash, 2018-04-27) updated commit_staged_changes() to reset the accumulated message to the commit message of HEAD (which does not contain the message from the skipped commit) when the last command was "fixup" or "squash" and there are no staged changes. Unfortunately the code to do this contains two bugs. (1) If parse_head() fails we pass an invalid pointer to unuse_commit_buffer(). (2) The reconstructed message uses the entire commit buffer from HEAD including the headers, rather than just the commit message. The first issue is fixed by splitting up the "if" condition into several statements each with its own error handling. The second issue is fixed by finding the start of the commit message within the commit buffer using find_commit_subject(). The existing test added by 15ef69314d5 is modified to show the effect of this bug. The bug is triggered when skipping the first command in the chain (as the test does before this commit) but the effect is hidden because opts->current_fixup_count is set to zero which leads update_squash_messages() to recreate the squash message file from scratch overwriting the bad message created by commit_staged_changes(). The test is also updated to explicitly check the commit messages rather than relying on grep to ensure they do not contain any stray commit headers. To check the commit message the function test_commit_message() is moved from t3437-rebase-fixup-options.sh to test-lib.sh. As the function is now publicly available it is updated to provide better error detection and avoid overwriting the commonly used files "actual" and "expect". Support for reading the expected commit message from stdin is also added. Signed-off-by: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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 with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). 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):
