#!/bin/sh # # Copyright (c) 2006 Johannes E. Schindelin # SHORT DESCRIPTION # # This script makes it easy to fix up commits in the middle of a series, # and rearrange commits. # # The original idea comes from Eric W. Biederman, in # http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/22407 # # The file containing rebase commands, comments, and empty lines. # This file is created by "git rebase -i" then edited by the user. As # the lines are processed, they are removed from the front of this # file and written to the tail of $done. todo="$state_dir"/git-rebase-todo # The rebase command lines that have already been processed. A line # is moved here when it is first handled, before any associated user # actions. done="$state_dir"/done # The commit message that is planned to be used for any changes that # need to be committed following a user interaction. msg="$state_dir"/message # The file into which is accumulated the suggested commit message for # squash/fixup commands. When the first of a series of squash/fixups # is seen, the file is created and the commit message from the # previous commit and from the first squash/fixup commit are written # to it. The commit message for each subsequent squash/fixup commit # is appended to the file as it is processed. # # The first line of the file is of the form # # This is a combination of $count commits. # where $count is the number of commits whose messages have been # written to the file so far (including the initial "pick" commit). # Each time that a commit message is processed, this line is read and # updated. It is deleted just before the combined commit is made. squash_msg="$state_dir"/message-squash # If the current series of squash/fixups has not yet included a squash # command, then this file exists and holds the commit message of the # original "pick" commit. (If the series ends without a "squash" # command, then this can be used as the commit message of the combined # commit without opening the editor.) fixup_msg="$state_dir"/message-fixup # $rewritten is the name of a directory containing files for each # commit that is reachable by at least one merge base of $head and # $upstream. They are not necessarily rewritten, but their children # might be. This ensures that commits on merged, but otherwise # unrelated side branches are left alone. (Think "X" in the man page's # example.) rewritten="$state_dir"/rewritten dropped="$state_dir"/dropped end="$state_dir"/end msgnum="$state_dir"/msgnum # A script to set the GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, and # GIT_AUTHOR_DATE that will be used for the commit that is currently # being rebased. author_script="$state_dir"/author-script # When an "edit" rebase command is being processed, the SHA1 of the # commit to be edited is recorded in this file. When "git rebase # --continue" is executed, if there are any staged changes then they # will be amended to the HEAD commit, but only provided the HEAD # commit is still the commit to be edited. When any other rebase # command is processed, this file is deleted. amend="$state_dir"/amend # For the post-rewrite hook, we make a list of rewritten commits and # their new sha1s.
