5 # SHORT DESCRIPTION
7 # This script makes it easy to fix up commits in the middle of a series,
8 # and rearrange commits.
10 # The original idea comes from Eric W. Biederman, in
11 # http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/22407
13 . git-sh-setup
15 # The file containing rebase commands, comments, and empty lines.
16 # This file is created by "git rebase -i" then edited by the user. As
17 # the lines are processed, they are removed from the front of this
18 # file and written to the tail of $done.
19 todo="$state_dir"/git-rebase-todo
21 # The rebase command lines that have already been processed. A line
22 # is moved here when it is first handled, before any associated user
23 # actions.
24 done="$state_dir"/done
26 # The commit message that is planned to be used for any changes that
27 # need to be committed following a user interaction.
28 msg="$state_dir"/message
30 # The file into which is accumulated the suggested commit message for
31 # squash/fixup commands. When the first of a series of squash/fixups
32 # is seen, the file is created and the commit message from the
33 # previous commit and from the first squash/fixup commit are written
34 # to it. The commit message for each subsequent squash/fixup commit
35 # is appended to the file as it is processed.
37 # The first line of the file is of the form
38 # # This is a combination of $count commits.
39 # where $count is the number of commits whose messages have been
40 # written to the file so far (including the initial "pick" commit).
41 # Each time that a commit message is processed, this line is read and
42 # updated. It is deleted just before the combined commit is made.
43 squash_msg="$state_dir"/message-squash
45 # If the current series of squash/fixups has not yet included a squash
46 # command, then this file exists and holds the commit message of the
47 # original "pick" commit. (If the series ends without a "squash"
48 # command, then this can be used as the commit message of the combined
49 # commit without opening the editor.)
50 fixup_msg="$state_dir"/message-fixup
52 # $rewritten is the name of a directory containing files for each
53 # commit that is reachable by at least one merge base of $head and
54 # $upstream. They are not necessarily rewritten, but their children
55 # might be. This ensures that commits on merged, but otherwise
56 # unrelated side branches are left alone. (Think "X" in the man page's
57 # example.)
58 rewritten="$state_dir"/rewritten
60 dropped="$state_dir"/dropped
62 # A script to set the GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, and
63 # GIT_AUTHOR_DATE that will be used for the commit that is currently
64 # being rebased.
65 author_script="$state_dir"/author-script
67 # When an "edit" rebase command is being processed, the SHA1 of the
68 # commit to be edited is recorded in this file. When "git rebase
69 # --continue" is executed, if there are any staged changes then they
70 # will be amended to the HEAD commit, but only provided the HEAD
71 # commit is still the commit to be edited. When any other rebase
72 # command is processed, this file is deleted.
73 amend="$state_dir"/amend
75 # For the post-rewrite hook, we make a list of rewritten commits and
76 # their new sha1s. The rewritten-pending list keeps the sha1s of
77 # commits that have been processed, but not committed yet,
78 # e.g. because they are waiting for a 'squash' command.
