Hi Liam, could I ask for a favor? I'd like the oneline to start with rebase -i -x: ... (this would help future me to realize what this commit touches already from the concise graph output I favor).

Since Junio did not comment on the commit message: could you replace `aim` by `aims`, `enhacement` by `enhancement` and `comming` by `coming`? > @@ -36,6 +37,8 @@ int cmd_rebase__helper(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > N_("skip unnecessary picks"), SKIP_UNNECESSARY_PICKS), > OPT_CMDMODE(0, "rearrange-squash", &command, > N_("rearrange fixup/squash lines"), REARRANGE_SQUASH), > + OPT_CMDMODE(0, "add-exec", &command, > + N_("insert exec commands in todo list"), ADD_EXEC), Maybe `add-exec-commands`? I know it is longer to type, but these options do not need to be typed interactively and the longer name would be consistent with the function name. > diff --git a/sequencer.c b/sequencer.c > index fa94ed652d2c..810b7850748e 100644 > --- a/sequencer.c > +++ b/sequencer.c > @@ -2492,6 +2492,52 @@ int sequencer_make_script(int keep_empty, FILE *out, > return 0; > } > As the code in add_exec_commands() may appear convoluted (why not simply append the command after any pick?), the original comment would be really nice here: /* * Add commands after pick and (series of) squash/fixup commands * in the todo list. */ > +int add_exec_commands(const char *command) > +{ > + const char *todo_file = rebase_path_todo(); > + struct todo_list todo_list = TODO_LIST_INIT; > + int fd, res, i, first = 1; > + FILE *out; > + > + strbuf_reset(&todo_list.buf); The todo_list.buf has been initialized already (via TODO_LIST_INIT), no need to reset it again. > + fd = open(todo_file, O_RDONLY); > + if (fd < 0) > + return error_errno(_("could not open '%s'"), todo_file); > + if (strbuf_read(&todo_list.buf, fd, 0) < 0) { > + close(fd); > + return error(_("could not read '%s'."), todo_file); > + } > + close(fd); As Junio pointed out so gently: there is a helper function that does this all very conveniently for us: if (strbuf_read_file(&todo_list.buf, todo_file, 0) < 0) return error_errno(_("could not read '%s'"), todo_file); And as I realized looking at the surrounding code: you probably just inherited my inelegant code by copy-editing from another function in sequencer.c. Should you decide to add a preparatory patch to your patch series that converts these other callers, or even refactors all that code that reads the git-rebase-todo file and then parses it, I would be quite happy... :-) (although I would understand if you deemed this outside the purpose of your patch series). > + res = parse_insn_buffer(todo_list.buf.buf, &todo_list); > + if (res) { > + todo_list_release(&todo_list); > + return error(_("unusable todo list: '%s'"), todo_file); > + } The variable `res` is not really used here. Let's just put the parse_insn_buffer() call inside the if (). > + out = fopen(todo_file, "w"); > + if (!out) { > + todo_list_release(&todo_list); > + return error(_("unable to open '%s' for writing"), todo_file); > + } > + for (i = 0; i < todo_list.nr; i++) { > + struct todo_item *item = todo_list.items + i; > + int bol = item->offset_in_buf; > + const char *p = todo_list.buf.buf + bol; > + int eol = i + 1 < todo_list.nr ? > + todo_list.items[i + 1].offset_in_buf : > + todo_list.buf.len; This smells like another copy-edited snippet that originated from my brain, and I am not at all proud by the complexity I used there. The function should also check for errors during writing. So how about something like this instead? struct strbuf *buf = &todo_list.buf; size_t offset = 0, command_len = strlen(command); int first = 1, i; struct todo_item *item; ... /* insert <command> before every pick except the first one */ for (item = todo_list.items, i = 0; i < todo_list.nr; i++, item++) if (item->command == TODO_PICK) { if (first) first = 0; else { strbuf_splice(buf, item->offset_in_buf + offset, 0, command, command_len); offset += command_len; } } /* append a final <command> */ strbuf_complete_list(buf); strbuf_add(buf, command, command_len); i = write_message(buf->buf, buf->len, todo_file, 0); todo_list_release(&todo_list); return i; Ciao, Dscho
