There's a funny exercice there: the git-rebase--$type.sh scripts are not
called as external helpers, but like this:
run_specific_rebase () {
if [ "$interactive_rebase" = implied ]; then
GIT_EDITOR=:
export GIT_EDITOR
autosquash=
fi
. git-rebase--$type
# ...
So, turning these scripts into builtins would first require turning this
". git-rebase--$type" into an actual command call. But nothing
unfeasible.
Anyway, I'm not happy with the current shape of the code since
.-including files within a function already caused us several issues (I
fixed a FreeBSD related bug which triggered another one, so the current
code is a fix for a workaround for a FreeBSD issue ...).
I guess git-rebase--interactive.sh would be a lot for a single GSoC
project, but it can remain a shell-script helper called by a builtin.
Can you add more details to the "Convert scripts to builtins" part of
http://git.github.io/SoC-2016-Ideas/ to reflect this? And make it look
attractive for candidates ;-).
Thanks,
