Once upon a time, I dreamt of an interactive rebase that would not
flatten branch structure, but instead recreate the commit topology
faithfully.
My original attempt was --preserve-merges, but that design was so
limited that I did not even enable it in interactive mode.
Subsequently, it *was* enabled in interactive mode, with the predictable
consequences: as the --preserve-merges design does not allow for
specifying the parents of merge commits explicitly, all the new commits'
parents are defined *implicitly* by the previous commit history, and
hence it is *not possible to even reorder commits*.
This design flaw cannot be fixed. Not without a complete re-design, at
least. This patch series offers such a re-design.
Think of --rebase-merges as "--preserve-merges done right". It
introduces new verbs for the todo list, `label`, `reset` and `merge`.
For a commit topology like this:
A - B - C
\ /
D
the generated todo list would look like this:
# branch D
pick 0123 A
label branch-point
pick 1234 D
label D
reset branch-point
pick 2345 B
merge -C 3456 D # C
There are more patches in the pipeline, based on this patch series, but
left for later in the interest of reviewable patch series: one mini
series to use the sequencer even for `git rebase -i --root`, and another
one to add support for octopus merges to --rebase-merges. And then one
to allow for rebasing merge commits in a smarter way (this one will need
a bit more work, though, as it can result in very complicated, nested
merge conflicts *very* easily).
Changes since v5 (sorry, this one is big, and so is the interdiff):
- rebased to `master`, resolving conflicts with `ws/rebase-p` and
`pw/rebase-keep-empty-fixes` (these changes are not reflected in the
interdiff because I still did not find a good way to represent such
fixups).
- just like `git merge` refuses to merge ancestors of HEAD, so does now
the todo command `merge`.
- `git remote -v`'s output now differs when pulling with --rebase-merges
vs pulling with --interactive.
- the `merge` command now also gives rerere a chance (just like `pick`
already does).
- simplified test for rebase-cousins (no need to run --rebase-merges
interactively, so there is no need to override the editor either).
- fixed `safe_append()` to roll back the lock file even when *reading*
failed.
- used `reflog_message()` in `do_reset()` rather than duplicating the
logic.
- reworded misleading commit message talking about fast-forwarding merge
commits, when we just fast-forward `merge` commands *to* those merge commits
whenever possible.
- removed duplicate `if (can_fast_forward)` clause.
- stopped promising support for octopus merges in --make-script in this patch
series (it will be added in a later patch series).
- fixed grammar error in the message of the commit adding support for
post-rewrite hooks to handle commits processed via the `merge` command.
- folded TODO_MERGE_AND_EDIT into TODO_MERGE by using a new `flags`
field.
- the code of `do_merge()` has been made more obvious by using a variable
`oneline_offset` instead of the non-descriptive `p`.
- renamed the option to `rebase-merges`, in preparation for doing it
smarter using Phillip Wood's strategy (this will be contributed in a
follow-up patch series after two others that add support for octopus
merges and for handling --root via the sequencer).
- included Phillip Wood's test for --keep-empty with the new mode (and folded
in a fix into the code of the `merge` command).
- added -r as shortcut for --rebase-merges
- added an entire section about "REBASING MERGES" to git-rebase's man page.

+REBASING MERGES
+-----------------
+
+The interactive rebase command was originally designed to handle
+individual patch series. As such, it makes sense to exclude merge
+commits from the todo list, as the developer may have merged the
+current `master` while working on the branch, only to eventually
+rebase all the commits onto `master` (skipping the merge commits).
+
+However, there are legitimate reasons why a developer may want to
+recreate merge commits: to keep the branch structure (or "commit
+topology") when working on multiple, inter-related branches.
+
+In the following example, the developer works on a topic branch that
+refactors the way buttons are defined, and on another topic branch
+that uses that refactoring to implement a "Report a bug" button. The
+output of `git log --graph --format=%s -5` may look like this:
+
+------------
+* Merge branch 'report-a-bug'
+|\
+| * Add the feedback button
+* | Merge branch 'refactor-button'
+|\ \
+| |/
+| * Use the Button class for all buttons
+| * Extract a generic Button class from the DownloadButton one
+------------
+
+The developer might want to rebase those commits to a newer `master`
+while keeping the branch topology, for example when the first topic
+branch is expected to be integrated into `master` much earlier than the
+second one, say, to resolve merge conflicts with changes to the
+DownloadButton class that made it into `master`.
+
+This rebase can be performed using the `--rebase-merges` option.
+It will generate a todo list looking like this:
+
+------------
+label onto
+
+# Branch: refactor-button
+reset onto
+pick 123456 Extract a generic Button class from the DownloadButton one
+pick 654321 Use the Button class for all buttons
+label refactor-button
+
+# Branch: report-a-bug
+reset refactor-button # Use the Button class for all buttons
+pick abcdef Add the feedback button
+label report-a-bug
+
+reset onto
+merge -C a1b2c3 refactor-button # Merge 'refactor-button'
+merge -C 6f5e4d report-a-bug # Merge 'report-a-bug'
+------------
+
+In contrast to a regular interactive rebase, there are `label`, `reset` and
+`merge` commands in addition to `pick` ones.
+
+The `label` command puts a label to whatever will be the current
+revision when that command is executed. Internally, these labels are
+worktree-local refs that will be deleted when the rebase finishes or
+when it is aborted. That way, rebase operations in multiple worktrees
+linked to the same repository do not interfere with one another.
+
+The `reset` command is essentially a `git reset --hard` to the specified
+revision (typically a previously-labeled one).
+
+The `merge` command will merge the specified revision into whatever is
+HEAD at that time. With `-C <original-commit>`, the commit message of
+the specified merge commit will be used. When the `-C` is changed to
+a lower-case `-c`, the message will be opened in an editor after a
+successful merge so that the user can edit the message.
+
+At this time, the `merge` command will *always* use the `recursive`
+merge strategy, with no way to choose a different one. To work around
+this, an `exec` command can be used to call `git merge` explicitly,
+using the fact that the labels are worktree-local refs (the ref
+`refs/rewritten/onto` would correspond to the label `onto`).
+
+Note: the first command (`reset onto`) labels the revision onto which
+the commits are rebased; The name `onto` is just a convention, as a nod
+to the `--onto` option.
+
+It is also possible to introduce completely new merge commits from scratch
+by adding a command of the form `merge <merge-head>`. This form will
+generate a tentative commit message and always open an editor to let the
+user edit it. This can be useful e.g. when a topic branch turns out to
+address more than a single concern and wants to be split into two or
+even more topic branches. Consider this todo list:
+
+------------
+pick 192837 Switch from GNU Makefiles to CMake
+pick 5a6c7e Document the switch to CMake
+pick 918273 Fix detection of OpenSSL in CMake
+pick afbecd http: add support for TLS v1.3
+pick fdbaec Fix detection of cURL in CMake on Windows
+------------
+
+The one commit in this list that is not related to CMake may very well
+have been motivated by working on fixing all those bugs introduced by
+switching to CMake, but it addresses a different concern. To split this
+branch into two topic branches, the todo list could be edited like this:
+
+------------
+label onto
+
+pick afbecd http: add support for TLS v1.3
+label tlsv1.3
+
+reset onto
+pick 192837 Switch from GNU Makefiles to CMake
+pick 918273 Fix detection of OpenSSL in CMake
+pick fdbaec Fix detection of cURL in CMake on Windows
+pick 5a6c7e Document the switch to CMake
+label cmake
+
+reset onto
+merge tlsv1.3
+merge cmake
+------------
+

----
The todo list presented by `--preserve-merges --interactive` does not
represent the topology of the revision graph. Editing commits and
rewording their commit messages should work fine, but attempts to
reorder commits tend to produce counterintuitive results. Use
