In 427c3bd28ab (rebase: deprecate --preserve-merges, 2019-03-11) (which was
included in v2.22.0), we officially deprecated the --preserve-merges 
backend. This patch series drops that deprecated backend. Maybe we want to
make that happen around v2.26.0?

Note: this patch series is based on js/git-svn-use-rebase-merges

Johannes Schindelin (8):
  t5520: do not use `pull.rebase=preserve`
  remote: warn about unhandled branch.<name>.rebase values
  tests: stop testing `git rebase --preserve-merges`
  pull: remove support for `--rebase=preserve`
  rebase: drop support for `--preserve-merges`
  git-svn: drop support for `--preserve-merges`
  rebase: drop the internal `rebase--interactive` command
  remote: no longer claim that branch.*.rebase=preserve is a thing

Even if those tests try to override that setting, let's not use it
because it is deprecated: let's use `merges` instead.

We ignore them silently, but it actually makes sense to warn the users
that their config setting has no effect.

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

This backend has been deprecated in favor of `git rebase
--rebase-merges`.

In preparation for dropping it, let's remove all the regression tests
that would need it.

Nack, it breaks existing usages.   Why the urgency with removal?

I don't know a whole lot about this rebase feature in
particular, but deprecation periods should be measured in years
or even decades because of LTS distros.  Not months, especially
for things which have been around for a long while.

Which urgency? The cover letter spells it out quite clearly that this is
not even intended for v2.25.0, which is still over 2 months out.

The reason I submitted this patch series now is so that we can avoid
inadvertent new users of the `--preserve-merges` backend.

The LTS distros will not even pick up this patch. So that's a red herring.

But yes, you're right, v2.25.0 will probably be the first version to even
have the `--rebase-merges` option in `git svn`, and therefore v2.26.0
would be awfully early a time to drop `--preserve-merges` in `git svn`.
Question is whether we want to split this patch series, or just rather
wait with merging it to `master` until a year from now, or something like
that?

Ciao,
Dscho

"Months" a blink of an eye when it comes to deprecations and removals.

Then documenting it as deprecated and warning is all that's
needed.

Fwiw, I object to the regressions to all the other commands
(rebase/pull/remote) in this series, too, but I mainly do Perl.

--preserve-merges was only deprecated in v2.22.0 (2019-06-07).
LTS distro users are very likely on pre-v2.22.0, more likely
v2.1x.0 and maybe even v2.x.0.

Their next LTS release could be several years from now.  We
could be on git 2.[345]x.0 by then and that's when the LTS
packagers could package the next version.  LTS users are likely
to never see the entire period from v2.22.0..v2.25.0 and thus
never see a deprecation warning.

Even Debian stable (not exactly LTS, but still on the slower
side) went from v2.11.0 in Debian 9 all the way to v2.20.1
in Debian 10.  Actual LTS users will see bigger jumps.

In 427c3bd28ab (rebase: deprecate --preserve-merges, 2019-03-11) (which was
included in v2.22.0), we officially deprecated the --preserve-merges
backend. Over two years later, it is time to drop that backend, and here is
a patch series that does just that.

Changes since v1:

 * Rebased onto v2.33.0

Johannes Schindelin (7):
  t5520: do not use `pull.rebase=preserve`
  remote: warn about unhandled branch.<name>.rebase values
  tests: stop testing `git rebase --preserve-merges`
  pull: remove support for `--rebase=preserve`
  rebase: drop support for `--preserve-merges`
  git-svn: drop support for `--preserve-merges`
  rebase: drop the internal `rebase--interactive` command

Even if those tests try to override that setting, let's not use it
because it is deprecated: let's use `merges` instead.

We ignore them silently, but it actually makes sense to warn the users
that their config setting has no effect.

--rebase-merges`.

In preparation for dropping it, let's remove all the regression tests
that would need it.

  To: git; +Cc: Eric Wong, Johannes Schindelin, Johannes Schindelin

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

We already passed the `--rebase-merges` option to `git rebase` instead,
now we make this move permanent.

It was only used by the `--preserve-merges` backend, which we just
removed.

You end up removing all uses of script_snippet except the
strbuf_release() for it, so this & that can be removed too.

Unlike the cover letter's claim of deprecated since v2.22, this in
particular has only been deprecated since v2.25, i.e. your follow-up
ea8b7be1476 (git svn: stop using `rebase --preserve-merges`,
2019-11-22).

I think it's fine to do this, but at least updating the commit message
to note the difference would be good.

The comment at the start should be changed too, e.g. something like this
to squash in:

This leaves us with a rather pointless is_merge() function and
nonsensical control flow in parse_opt_merge(). Let's squash this in:

I'm very much in favor if this series.

I independently came up with pretty much the same at the beginning of
last month before finding your v1 in the list archive. The comments I
left inline are based on the diff between our two versions, i.e. I found
some spots you missed (and your version has spots I missed).

You're also leaving behind a comment in builtin/rebase.c referring to
PRESERVE_MERGES. Perhaps we should just turn that into an "else if"
while we're at it (the "ignore-space-change" argument won't need
wrapping anymore then):

builtin/rebase.c-       } else {
builtin/rebase.c:               /* REBASE_MERGE and PRESERVE_MERGES */
builtin/rebase.c-               if (ignore_whitespace) {
builtin/rebase.c-                       string_list_append(&strategy_options,
builtin/rebase.c-                                          "ignore-space-change");
builtin/rebase.c-               }
builtin/rebase.c-       }

I do find the left-behind "enum rebase_type" rather unpleasant, i.e. we
have a REBASE_UNSPECIFIED during the initial parse_options() phase, and
after that just REBASE_{APPLY,MERGE}, but some of those codepaths use
switch(), some just check on or the other, and it's not immediately
obvious where we are in the control flow. Ideally we'd take care of
parsing out the option(s) early, and could just have an "int
rebase_apply" in the struct to clearly indicate the rarer cases where we
take the REBASE_APPLY path.

But I wasn't able to make that work with some quick hacking, and in any
case that can be left as a cleanup for later.

Ideally with the code comments I left addressed, but either way the
correctness of the end result isn't affected in terms of what the
program ends up doing:

A good goal.  There is no remaining use case where (a fictitious and
properly working version of) "--preserve-merges" option cannot be
replaced by "--rebase-merges", is it?  I somehow had a feeling that
the other Johannes (sorry if it weren't you, j6t) had cases that the
former worked better, but perhaps I am mis-remembering things.

Thanks.

Valid point, I missed it because compiling with `DEVELOPER=1` did not
complain (because `strbuf_release()` "uses" the variable).

Thank you for offering your perspective.

From a readability point of view, I disagree with your assessment. Just
because it can be written shorter does not mean that it is clearer. Quite
the contrary, if you ask me. And since _I_ am contributing this patch
series, I will respectfully disagree and keep the version I find more
intuitive.

You could potentially talk me into adding a patch that renames that
function to `is_merge_backend()`, but that's as far as I would go. And I
am not really certain that that would improve things, either.

As an aside I was looking the other day to see if some variant of
-Wunused was smart enough to exclude (preferably a configurable) list of
functions. E.g.:

    void *some_var = malloc(123);
    free(some_var);

Could be unused if something was smart to see that a thing only
interacting with "malloc" and "free" wasn't otherwise used, and likewise
we could add "strbuf_release" and other such free() functions to such a
list.

But I didn't find anything...

While it would be technically correct to turn this into an `else if`, by
all other standards it would be incorrect. As I commented on your earlier
comment: just because it uses less lines does not make the intention
clearer. In this instance, I am actually quite certain that it dilutes the
intention. The `if (options.type == REBASE_APPLY)` clearly indicates a
top-level decision on the rebase backend, and an `else if
(ignore_whitespace)` would disrupt that idea to be about distinguishing
between completely unrelated concerns.

In other words: while I accept that your taste would prefer the suggested
change, my taste prefers the opposite, and since I am the owner of this
patch series contribution, I go with my taste.

Thank you for offering your opinion.

This encourages me to offer my (differing) opinion to keep the `enum
rebase_type` to clarify that we have multiple rebase backends, and even
leave Git's source code open to future contributions of other rebase
backends.

I should have phrased that "Let's squash this in" less forcefully, to be
clear it was just a suggestion. I'm fine with you not taking that
squash. This series is good either way.

But just to poke a bit at the rationale: I'd be totally on-board with
keeping it because we'd like the smallest possible diff here, even if
that ends up including this oddity.

But in terms of making the end-result more readable I don't really see
that.

We're left with a mismatch of some things comparing the enum label
directly, and some using this function, and then there's
REBASE_APPLY. To make it consistent we could alternatively have the diff
here at the end, but having some mixture of both seems like the worst
end-result, shouldn't we pick one way of inspecting these flags and use
that consistently?

(I did not convert the few REBASE_UNSPECIFIED, but those comparisons
could similarly be is_unspecified(), and all three could be named
is_*_backend() per your suggestion).

I think that I managed to address whatever concerns there were about the
`--rebase-merges` backend in the meantime.

To be honest, I developed one (minor) concern in the meantime... Should we
maybe try to be nicer to our users and keep handling the
`--preserve-merges` option by explicitly erroring out with the suggestion
to use `--rebase-merges` instead? Not everybody reads release notes, after
all. In fact, it is my experience that preciously few users have the time
to even skim release notes...

I wonder if we should leave some variant of this in, just as a last
resort to help users who have some ancient version / finger memory &
wonder why it doesn't work, something like;

-p::
--preserve-merges:
	These options were used by the long-deprecated and now removed
	"rebase merges" backend. The `--rebase-merges` option is the
	similar in spirit replacement mode.

Also, per your ea8b7be1476 (git svn: stop using `rebase
--preserve-merges`, 2019-11-22) the use in "git svn" couldn't really be
directly compared to this, but there we usurped the "-p" flag for
--rebase-merges. Perhaps we could/should do the same here (eventually,
doesn't need to be in this series).

You could, but certainly don't have to, squash in the below. I.e. this
is the last user of eval_ngettext!

I mentioned in <87r1e8v26x.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com> that I'd recently
come up with pretty much the same diff, that was because I was seeing
how much of the shellscript gettext support I could rip out.

This is a major step to getting a whole section of git's shellscript
support infrastructure out-of-tree, i.e. git-sh-i18n.sh, and the
sh-i18n--envsubst built-in helper.

If I then merge mirucam/git-bisect-work-part4-v6 &
gitster/ar/submodule-run-update-procedure along with this we'll have a
relatively small amount of gettext-in-sh code left, which should be
entirely gone before too long. Yay!

Just to clarify this isn't a comment describing the suggested is_merge()
changes I had elsewhere, or that we should get rid of "enum
rebase_type".

But rather that if we were to split up the "we haven't decided on the
type yet" from "we know the rebase type, let's act on it" which only
happens around the option/config/directory introspection etc. from the
rest of the code, we could stick on the "real" rebase types in the enum.

We could then have just two enum arms for switches (less verbosity) and
no "default: BUG(...)" case.

Such a change should make it easier for contributors to add new
backends, as they'd get the compiler helping them to see where they'd
need to add their code. Now you need to hunt around for various
is_merge, "opts.type == " etc, switches with "default" etc. comparisons.

Of course such a change might not be worth it, i.e. maybe it's too
painful to untangle REBASE_UNSPECIFIED from the existing enum. I just
wanted to clarify what it was that I was suggesting here.

Also get_author_ident_from_commit() in git-sh-setup.sh and
Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt can be removed,
git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh is the last user of it.

I looked over the other git-sh-setup functions, it seems that's the only
one that could be removed along with git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh.

Although with git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh gone the
get_author_ident_from_commit(), parse_ident_from_commit() and
pick_ident_script() can all be moved to its last user:
git-filter-branch.sh

That was either my suggestion/desire to make no-rebase-cousins the
default. That has been settled.

Or my wish not to redo the merge, but to replay the first-parent
difference. The idea never got traction, and I've long since abandoned
my implementation of it.

A valid concern, I would think.

s/last user/last in-tree user/

Since we install `git-sh-i18n` and semi-advertised it as something to use
in user scripts (which makes removing it somewhat questionable a goal,
certainly when you do not even offer a deprecation period), and since the
removal of such things is completely orthogonal to the intention of this
patch series, I will not include this patch, let alone squash it into a
commit whose purpose has nothing to do with gettext whatsoever.

Ciao,
Johannes

This is good.

preserve-merge is the only user of `rebase--interactive'.  In
builtin/rebase.c, it is the only producer of the following actions:

 - ACTION_SHORTEN_OIDS
 - ACTION_EXPAND_OIDS
 - ACTION_CHECK_TODO_LIST
 - ACTION_REARRANGE_SQUASH
 - ACTION_ADD_EXEC

Which in turn, are the only reason for these functions to exist:

 - transform_todo_file()
 - check_todo_list_from_file() (from the sequencer)
 - rearrange_squash_in_todo_file()
 - add_exec_commands()

This is from a cursory glance, it may go a bit deeper.

Should we remove these as well?

Alban

Unlike whatever controversy we're having over git-sh-setup being removed
(see <cover-0.9-00000000000-20210902T155758Z-avarab@gmail.com>[1]), the
git-sh-i18n's gettext() and eval_gettext() can't be useful to anyone out
of git.git's tree, since they accept strings that are expected to be
found in git.git's generated *.mo files.

So it's certainly possible that someone's used out out-of-tree, but that
use of eval_gettext() won't have been doing anything useful in terms of
translation, and if it did that would have been because someone copied a
to-be-translated string as-is, and expected git.git to keep it
byte-for-byte the same as their sources.

Anyway, if you don't want to squash this in I can submit it as some sort
of follow-up, perhaps along with some of the suggestions in
<62fbd389-28f5-76e5-d3f3-5510415a7bf5@gmail.com>[2] if you're generally
aiming to keep the changes here to the depth of the first callstack,
i.e. remove the --preserve-merges use of a foo(), but not a foo()
function itself if that foo() then becomes orphaned as a result.

True but removing it is probably outside the scope of this series.
Removal of helper functions from sh-i18n can be discussed once the
dust from this topic settles ("now the last caller of the helper is
gone from 'master', we can remove X, Y and Z").

Fair enough. To be clear I think this series is fine as-is, we've just
usually done "now that this function is dead, rm it" as part of the
series that makes it dead, so I figured fixups/squashes to change those
parts would be welcome & integrated, likewise Alban Gruin's suggestions
in <62fbd389-28f5-76e5-d3f3-5510415a7bf5@gmail.com>.

But the git-sh-i18n.sh change and/or his suggestions can be done after
this lands...

Hi dscho

Thanks for working on this, it opens up the possibility of future 
cleanups now we're not constrained by supporting cmd_rebase__interactive()

As Alban mentioned, I think it would be worth removing the enum members 
as well as the case clauses here.

This all looks good to me. I did see the comment below in 
builtin/rebase.c that could be tweaked if you reroll, but it is a very 
minor issue.

/* -i followed by -p is still explicitly interactive, but -p alone is not */
static int parse_opt_interactive(const struct option *opt, const char *arg,
                                  int unset)

I do wonder if we need these option parsing functions now but that is a 
question for another day.

I think patch 7 addresses most of that apart from the removal of the 
enum members and check_todo_list_from_file()

Right, without `-p` this comment does not make sense anymore. But once I
replace the `-p` by `-r`, it _does_ make sense: `git rebase -r` is not
interactive, but `git rebase -ir` _is_.

As the function parses the `-i`/`--interactive` option, which is not going
anywhere, we still need it.

Thanks,

My patch series already removed this.

Good point!

This was already removed by my patch series.

Actually, this function is still needed, but its scope can be reduced.

Thank you!

Sure I was just wondering if we could simplify things by using something 
like OPT_BOOL rather than OPT_CALLBACK_F for "--am", "-i" and "-m". I 
haven't looked too closely though

Thanks again for this series

Thank you for clarifying.

Yes, I remember how that idea came up, and I even tried that strategy for
a couple of merging rebases of Git for Windows' branch thicket. Sadly, it
did not work half as well as I had hoped.

The best idea I had back then still is in want of being implemented: sort
of a "four-way merge". It is basically the same as a three-way merge, but
allows for the pre-images to differ in the context (and yes, this cannot
be represented using the current conflict markers). Definitely not
trivial.

Good. Since you concur with my hunch, I implemented that change.

Thank you for reviewing,

I have this funny feeling that the "Fair enough" is thrown at a
comment that you didn't intend to ;-)

It's definitely a good question, and I wondered, too, but failed to share
my conclusions with you.

The callback does two things: first, it switches the rebase type to
`merge`, and then it also sets the flag (by setting a bit in the bit
field) that the rebase is explicitly interactive.

The reason for this "explicitly interactive" wording is historical, of
course, because historically some functionality was implemented by
`git-rebase--interactive.sh` even if the rebase itself was intended _not_
to be run interactively. Think `git rebase --exec <command>`, for example.

These days, it is still true that `rebase-interactive.c` implements some
functionality that is not necessarily meant to be executed interactively
(again, `--exec`, but also `--rebase-merges`).

So there _is_ a need for that option to do more than one thing, and as
some options can try to set, say, the rebase type, it is important to
handle those options immediately (as opposed to trying to set a flag based
on `--interactive` and then trying to infer the rebase type from that flag
_after_ `parse_options()` is done).

Ciao,
Dscho

In 427c3bd28ab (rebase: deprecate --preserve-merges, 2019-03-11) (which was
included in v2.22.0), we officially deprecated the --preserve-merges
backend. Over two years later, it is time to drop that backend, and here is
a patch series that does just that.

Changes since v2:

 * Removed the no-longer-needed script_snippet variable
 * Enhanced the commit message of the git svn patch to clarify that the
   deprecation happened only in v2.25 there
 * Adjusted code comments that still talked about the removed option
 * Removed some no-longer-needed ACTION_* enum values
 * We now also drop check_todo_list_from_file() because it is no longer
   needed
 * The todo_list_add_exec_commands() function is now scoped to the file
   (because there are no longer any outside users)
 * When users still use the options, they are no longer met by Git's blank
   stares, but by a helpful error message suggesting to use --rebase-merges
   instead

Changes since v1:

 * Rebased onto v2.33.0

Johannes Schindelin (11):
  t5520: do not use `pull.rebase=preserve`
  remote: warn about unhandled branch.<name>.rebase values
  tests: stop testing `git rebase --preserve-merges`
  pull: remove support for `--rebase=preserve`
  rebase: drop support for `--preserve-merges`
  git-svn: drop support for `--preserve-merges`
  rebase: drop the internal `rebase--interactive` command
  rebase: remove obsolete code comment
  rebase: stop mentioning the -p option in comments
  rebase: remove a no-longer-used function
  sequencer: restrict scope of a formerly public function

     @@ Commit message
          We already passed the `--rebase-merges` option to `git rebase` instead,
          now we make this move permanent.
      
     +    As pointed out by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, in contrast to the
     +    deprecation of `git rebase`'s `--preserve-merges` backend, `git svn`
     +    only deprecated this option in v2.25.0 (because this developer missed
     +    `git svn`'s use of that backend when deprecating the rebase backend
     +    running up to Git v2.22).
     +
     +    Still, v2.25.0 has been released on January 13th, 2020. In other words,
     +    `git svn` deprecated this option over one and a half years ago, _and_
     +    has been redirecting to the `--rebase-merges` option during all that
     +    time (read: `git svn rebase --preserve-merges` didn't do _precisely_
     +    what the user asked, since v2.25.0, anyway, it fell back to pretending
     +    that the user asked for `git svn rebase --rebase-merges` instead).
     +
     +    It is time to act on that deprecation and remove that option after all.

Even if those tests try to override that setting, let's not use it
because it is deprecated: let's use `merges` instead.

We ignore them silently, but it actually makes sense to warn the users
that their config setting has no effect.

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In preparation for `git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh` entering its after
life, we remove this (deprecated) option that would still rely on it.

To help users transition who still did not receive the memo about the
deprecation, we offer a helpful error message instead of throwing our
hands in the air and saying that we don't know that option, never heard
of it.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

This option was deprecated in favor of `--rebase-merges` some time ago,
and now we retire it.

To assist users to transition away, we do not _actually_ remove the
option, but now we no longer implement the functionality. Instead, we
offer a helpful error message suggesting which option to use.

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

We already passed the `--rebase-merges` option to `git rebase` instead,
now we make this move permanent.

As pointed out by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, in contrast to the
deprecation of `git rebase`'s `--preserve-merges` backend, `git svn`
only deprecated this option in v2.25.0 (because this developer missed
`git svn`'s use of that backend when deprecating the rebase backend
running up to Git v2.22).

Still, v2.25.0 has been released on January 13th, 2020. In other words,
`git svn` deprecated this option over one and a half years ago, _and_
has been redirecting to the `--rebase-merges` option during all that
time (read: `git svn rebase --preserve-merges` didn't do _precisely_
what the user asked, since v2.25.0, anyway, it fell back to pretending
that the user asked for `git svn rebase --rebase-merges` instead).

It is time to act on that deprecation and remove that option after all.

It was only used by the `--preserve-merges` backend, which we just
removed.

The function to add the `exec` commands to the todo list only needed to
be public API because it was not only used internally by the sequencer,
but also by `git rebase --preserve-merges`.

Now that that mode has been removed, we no longer need that function to
be scoped publicly.

merge-ort opens a new possibility (since it does merges without
touching the index or working tree): Take the merge commit, M, that
you are trying to transplant.  Hold on to it for a minute.  Do what
rebase-merges does now; namely, do a simple merge of the desired new
branches that otherwise ignores M to get your new merge commit N.
Hang on to N too for a minute.  Now use merge-ort to auto-remerge M
(much like AUTO_MERGE or --remerge-diff does) to get a new merge
commit that we'll call pre-M.  If M was a clean merge that the user
didn't amend, then pre-M will match M.  If M wasn't a clean merge or
was amended, then pre-M will otherwise differ from M by not including
any manual changes the user made when they originally created M --
such as removing conflict markers, fixing semantic conflicts, evil
changes, etc.

Now we've got three merge commits: pre-M, M, and N.  (Technically,
pre-M and N might be toplevel trees rather than full commits, but
whatever.)  The difference between pre-M and M represent the manual
work the user did in order to create M.  Now, do a three-way
(non-recursive) merge of those commits, to get the rebased result, R.
This operation has the affect of applying the changes from pre-M to M
on top of N.

There's obviously some edge cases (e.g. nested conflict markers), but
I think they're better than the edge cases presented by the
alternatives:
  * the first-parent difference idea silently discards intermediate
changes from reapplying other patches (especially if other patches are
added or dropped), which to me feels _very_ dangerous
  * the current rebase-merges idea silently discards manual user
changes within the original merge commit (i.e. it hopes that there is
no difference between pre-M and M), which can also be lossy
  * I don't think this idea drops any data, but it does run the risk
of conflicts that are difficult to understand.  But I suspect less so
than your five-way merge would entail.

If the difficulty of conflicts in this scheme is too high, we could do
a few things like providing multiple versions (e.g. if either
pre-M:file or N:file had conflicts, or maybe if R:file has nested
conflicts, then place both R:file and N:file in the working tree
somewhere) or pointing at special commands that help users figure out
what went on (e.g. 'git log -1 --remerge-diff M -- file').

While I agree that `merge-ort` makes a lot of things much better, I think
in this context we need to keep in mind that those nested merge conflicts
can really hurt.

In my tests (I tried to implement a strategy where a 3-way merge is done
with M and N^, using the parent commits of M as merge parents
successively, see
https://lore.kernel.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1804130002090.65@ZVAVAG-6OXH6DA.rhebcr.pbec.zvpebfbsg.pbz/
for the nitty gritty), I ran into _nasty_ nested merge conflicts, even
with trivial examples. And I came to the conviction that treating the
merge conflict markers as Just Another Line was the main culprit.

I wish I had the time to try out your proposed strategy with the
conconcted example I presented in that mail I linked above. Because now I
am curious what it would do...

This definitely doesn't require a re-roll, but just in case you didn't
know, from CodingGuidelines:

   . since early 2012 with e1327023ea, we have been using an enum
     definition whose last element is followed by a comma.  This, like
     an array initializer that ends with a trailing comma, can be used
     to reduce the patch noise when adding a new identifier at the end.

(That was added in cc0c42975a2 (CodingGuidelines: spell out post-C89
rules, 2019-07-16))

I.e. in case you're slavisly following this particular bit of C syntax
for C89 compatibility it's not needed anymore, which helps to make diffs
smaller, and writing code generation loops less annoying.

Yes, and I'm not sure you fully appreciate how much either.  Your
discussion in the other thread of nested conflicts suggests you may
not be aware of a few facts; for regular merges (not talking about
rebase-merges yet):

* Merges can have nested conflicts DESPITE having unique merge bases
and NOT using merge.conflictstyle=diff3
* With unique merge bases (i.e. not a "recursive" merge), a merge will
have at most two layers of conflicts
* non-unique merge-bases and merge.conflictstyle=diff3 make nested
conflicts much more likely
* There is no limit on the number of nestings of conflict markers for a merge

Now, in terms of rebase-merges:

You noted in the other thread the possibility of being unable to
differentiate conflict markers because they had the same length.
However, increasing the length on the second merge by one or two
characters is not sufficient in general, because that might just make
you match the length of one of the nested conflicts from the other
merge.  You need to programmatically determine the sizes of the
conflict markers in the first merge, and then adjust based on it for
your other merge(s).


I know this will sound like I'm scaring you off of my idea even
further, but I actually think despite the above that my ideas for
rebase-merges may have merit.  I just want people to actually
understand the edge and corner cases.  From my reading of the previous
threads on rebasing merges, I'm concerned that there is no discussion
of arbitrarily nested conflict markers and a complete omission of any
considerations for path-based rather than content-based conflicts.

I agree that we should not treat merge conflict markers as Just
Another Line.  There are other issues I can mention besides the above
here, but I'm getting kind of long already.

However, I think a big part of the problem you ran into was that the
previous suggestions only work nicely in _really_ simple cases.  In
particular, although I like Phillip's suggested sequence of merges[1]
a lot more than the other suggestions in that thread or from prior
threads, his suggestion is going to be prone to unnecessary nested
conflict markers, as you found in your testcase.

> I wish I had the time to try out your proposed strategy with the

For this simple testcase, as best I understood it (you didn't quite
describe it fully so I had to take a guess or two), it provides a
simpler conflict than either of the two you showed you got (from
different merge orderings of Phillip's suggestion).   However, let me
double check that I understood your testcase correctly; please correct
any errors in my understanding.  I believe the commit graph you were
describing was this:

* rebase-of-original-merge
|\
| * rebase-of-local-add-caller-of-core
* | rebase-of-local-rename-to-hi
|/
* upstream
|
|
|
| * original-merge
| |\
| | * local-add-caller-of-core
| |/
|/|
| * local-rename-to-hi
|/
* initial-version


Further, the versions of main.c in each of those are as follows:

==> initial-version:
int core(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}


==> local-rename-to-hi:
int hi(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}


==> local-add-caller-of-core:
int core(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
/* caller */
void caller(void) {
    core();
}


==> what an automatic merge of the two local-* branches would give:
int hi(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
/* caller */
void caller(void) {
    core();
}


==> original-merge (amended from above by s/core/hi/ in caller()):
int hi(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
/* caller */
void caller(void) {
    hi();
}


==> upstream:
int greeting(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
/* main event loop */
void event_loop(void) {
    /* TODO: place holder for now */
}


==> rebase-of-local-rename-to-hi (kept 'hi' over 'greeting'):
int hi(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
/* main event loop */
void event_loop(void) {
    /* TODO: place holder for now */
}


==> rebase-of-local-add-caller-of-core (kept both new functions,
updated caller):
int greeting(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
/* main event loop */
void event_loop(void) {
    /* TODO: place holder for now */
}
/* caller */
void caller(void) {
    greeting();
}



If I've understood that all correctly, then my idea will give you the
following conflict to resolve:

==> rebase-of-original-merge, before conflict resolution:
int hi(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
/* main event loop */
void event_loop(void) {
    /* TODO: place holder for now */
}
/* caller */
void caller(void) {
<<<<<<< HEAD
    greeting();
||||||| auto-remerge of original-merge
    core();
=======
    hi();
>>>>>>> original-merge
}

That looks very intriguing! I would _love_ to play with this a bit, and I
think you provided enough guidance to get going. I am currently preparing
to go mostly offline for the second half of September, read: I won't be
able to play with this before October. But I am definitely interested,
this sounds very exciting.

If you start working on it, let me know.  I was thinking of playing
with it, but don't know exactly when I'll get time to do so; very
unlikely before October, and reasonably likely not even before the end
of the year.

While I've provided the high level details in this thread which are
good enough to handle the simple cases, I think that the interesting
bits are the non-simple cases.  I have not thought all of them
through, but I'll include below some notes of mine that might be
helpful if you get to it first.  Note that I focus below on the
non-simple cases, and discuss content-based conflicts before covering
path-based ones:


* We're doing a three way merge of merges: pre-M, M, and N to get R; M
is the original merge, pre-M is (automatic) remerge of M, and N is
automatic merge of rebased parents of M.

* Note that N is what current rebase-merges uses, so we have all
information from that merge and can provide it to the user when or if
it is helpful.

* Both pre-M and N may themselves have conflicts.

* We need to programmatically handle conflict marker length when pre-M
and/or N have nested conflicts.  (must modify merge routines to return
the maximal conflict marker depth used)

* Special case that pre-M matches N (per hunk): If both pre-M and N
have conflict markers, but they happen to match, then we know to take
the version from M and the result IS clean (at least for that hunk).
So, you can still get a clean merge even if there are conflicts in
both pre-M and N.

* Special case that pre-M matches M (per hunk): Usually in the
three-way merge of "Base, Left, Right => Result", if Base matches
either side then you get a clean merge.  However, if pre-M matches M
but N has conflicts, the result is NOT clean.  Another way to look at
this is that conflict markers are special and should be treated
differently than other lines.  (And path-based conflicts probably need
special handling too, as discussed below.)

* In the case of complicated conflicts, consider providing user with
both R:resulting-file and N:resulting-file (and point them at `git log
-1 --remerge-diff M [-- resulting-file]`)

* Having either binary files or path-based conflicts (e.g.
modify/delete, file vs. directory vs. submodule, switch to symlink vs.
switch to executable, rename/add, rename/rename -- either 1to2 or
2to1, directory rename detection, etc.) in either pre-M or N -- or
both -- are going to need special care.

* One example of path-based conflicts:  Let's say pre-M had no
conflict at path P, and that pre-M:P and M:P matched.  Let's say that
N:P had a modify/delete conflict.  Note that for modify/delete
conflicts we tend to print a message to the console and leave the
modified version of the file in the working tree.  Here, despite the
fact that pre-M:P and M:P matched, we cannot just take the modified
file from N at P as the merge result.  The modify/delete conflict
should persist and the user given an opportunity to resolve it.
Representing the modify/delete might be an interesting question,
though since...

* If both pre-M and N have conflicts, then pre-M would have had up to
three versions of file in the index at higher stages, N would have had
up to three versions of file in the index at higher stages, and M
would have one.  We cannot represent all 7 versions of the file in the
index at the end, which means conflict representation might be tricky.
content-based conflicts are easier to handle here than path-based
ones, since content-based conflicts can just do similar to what
rename/rename(2to1) conflicts do today: just stick the result of the
preliminary three-way merges into the index.  path-based conflicts get
more interesting because you can't do a preliminary merge of binary
files or a preliminary merge of a modify/delete, etc.

* If both pre-M and N have path-based conflicts, but of different
types, how exactly do we mention that to the user?  Just list all the
types?  (This probably qualifies as a case of a "complicated" conflict
where we want to (also?) provide the user with N:resulting-file
instead of (just?) R:resulting-file.)  We may also need to modify
merge machinery to return types of conflicts per-path, an extension of
what my "merge-into" series (not yet submitted) provides.

[In reply to an old commit]

I opened "man git-rebase" today due to an on-list discussion and went
through pretty much:

 1. /preserve-merges # fails
 2. skimming the SYNOPSIS, forgetting what the new thing is called
 3. Paging down, eventually findinging & remembering the new thing is
    "--rebase-merges".

I wonder if there's objections to reinstating this in the docs
somewhere, just as something like:

	--preserve-merges:
		An old "rebase" backend which is no longer supported,
		and which was removed from git in version v2.35.0.

We don't do that with all flags that we've dropped, but perhaps this one
was well known enough to not leave readers hanging...

My impression is that we consider that we have done so already for a
few releases by keeping "DEPRECATED: use rebase-merges", exactly
because "this one was well known enough", and now it is time to go
one step further, i.e. drop it from the document like the quoted
patch does, while recognising an attempt to use the option and
giving a custom message than the bog-standard "unknown option".

    $ git rebase --preserve-merges
    fatal: --preserve-merges was replaced by --rebase-merges
    Note: Your `pull.rebase` configuration may also be set to 'preserve',
    which is no longer supported; use 'merges' instead

The next step will be to drop that custom error support, I think.

Fully agree.

I _could_ see us introducing a sentence in the explanation of
`--rebase-merges` that leaves a historical note about superseding the
now-removed `--preserve-merges` option. But such historical notes tend to
go pretty stale pretty quickly, and eventually cause more confusion than
clarification.

So just like you said, I'd rather not re-introduce any text mentioning
`--preserve-merges` into the manual page.

Ciao,
Dscho
