The use of "revision" (a connected set of commits) has been
clarified in the "git replay" documentation.
* en/replay-doc-revision-range:
Documentation/git-replay.adoc: fix errors around revision range

"git replay" forgot to omit the "gpgsig-sha256" extended header
from the resulting commit the same way it omits "gpgsig", which has
been corrected.
* pw/replay-exclude-gpgsig-fix:
replay: do not copy "gpgsign-sha256" header
|

There was significant confusion in the git-replay manual about what
constitutes a revision range. As noted in f302c1e4aa09 (revisions(7):
clarify that most commands take a single revision range, 2021-05-18):
Commands that are specifically designed to take two distinct ranges
(e.g. "git range-diff R1 R2" to compare two ranges) do exist, but they
are exceptions. Unless otherwise noted, all "git" commands that operate
on a set of commits work on a single revision range.
`git replay` is not an exception, but a few places in the manual were
written as though it were. These appear to have come in revisions to
the original series, between v3->v4 (see
https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAP8UFD3bpLrVW97DH7j=V9H2GsTSAkksC9L3QujQERFk_kLnZA@mail.gmail.com/
, "More than one <revision-range> can be passed") and between v6->v7
(https://lore.kernel.org/git/20231115143327.2441397-1-christian.couder@gmail.com/,
"Takes ranges of commits"), and I missed both of these revisions when
reviewing. Fix them now.
There was also a reference to the "Commit Limiting options below", but
this page has no such section of options; strike the misleading
reference.
It is worth noting that we are documenting existing behavior, rather
than optimal behavior. Junio has multiple times suggested introducing
alternative ways to walk revisions and use them in `git replay
--advance`, e.g. at
* https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqy1mqo6kv.fsf@gitster.g/
* https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq8rb3is8c.fsf@gitster.g/
* https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqtsydj2zk.fsf@gitster.g/ (item (2))
If/when we introduce some new revision walking flag that implements one
of these alternate types of revision walks, we can update the --advance
option and this manual appropriately.

When "git replay" replays a commit it copies the extended headers
across from the original commit. However, if the original commit
was signed, we do not want to copy the header associated with the
signature is it wont be valid for the new commit. The code already
knows to avoid coping the "gpgsig" header but does not know to avoid
copying the "gpgsig-sha256" header. Add that header to the list of
exclusions to match what "git commit --amend" does.

Add a configuration variable to control the default behavior of git replay
for updating references. This allows users who prefer the traditional
pipeline output to set it once in their config instead of passing
--ref-action=print with every command.
The config variable uses string values that mirror the behavior modes:
* replay.refAction = update (default): atomic ref updates
* replay.refAction = print: output commands for pipeline

The git replay command currently outputs update commands that can be
piped to update-ref to achieve a rebase, e.g.
git replay --onto main topic1..topic2 | git update-ref --stdin
This separation had advantages for three special cases:
* it made testing easy (when state isn't modified from one step to
the next, you don't need to make temporary branches or have undo
commands, or try to track the changes)
* it provided a natural can-it-rebase-cleanly (and what would it
rebase to) capability without automatically updating refs, similar
to a --dry-run
* it provided a natural low-level tool for the suite of hash-object,
mktree, commit-tree, mktag, merge-tree, and update-ref, allowing
users to have another building block for experimentation and making
new tools
However, it should be noted that all three of these are somewhat
special cases; users, whether on the client or server side, would
almost certainly find it more ergonomic to simply have the updating
of refs be the default.
For server-side operations in particular, the pipeline architecture
creates process coordination overhead. Server implementations that need
to perform rebases atomically must maintain additional code to:
1. Spawn and manage a pipeline between git-replay and git-update-ref
2. Coordinate stdout/stderr streams across the pipe boundary
3. Handle partial failure states if the pipeline breaks mid-execution
4. Parse and validate the update-ref command output
Change the default behavior to update refs directly, and atomically (at
least to the extent supported by the refs backend in use). This
eliminates the process coordination overhead for the common case.
For users needing the traditional pipeline workflow, add a new
--ref-action=<mode> option that preserves the original behavior:
git replay --ref-action=print --onto main topic1..topic2 | git update-ref --stdin
The mode can be:
* update (default): Update refs directly using an atomic transaction
* print: Output update-ref commands for pipeline use
Test suite changes:
All existing tests that expected command output now use
--ref-action=print to preserve their original behavior. This keeps
the tests valid while allowing them to verify that the pipeline workflow
still works correctly.
New tests were added to verify:
- Default atomic behavior (no output, refs updated directly)
- Bare repository support (server-side use case)
- Equivalence between traditional pipeline and atomic updates
- Real atomicity using a lock file to verify all-or-nothing guarantee
- Test isolation using test_when_finished to clean up state
- Reflog messages include replay mode and target
A following commit will add a replay.refAction configuration
option for users who prefer the traditional pipeline output as their
default behavior.

In preparation for adding the --ref-action option, convert option
validation to use die_for_incompatible_opt2(). This helper provides
standardized error messages for mutually exclusive options.
The following commit introduces --ref-action which will be incompatible
with certain other options. Using die_for_incompatible_opt2() now means
that commit can cleanly add its validation using the same pattern,
keeping the validation logic consistent and maintainable.
This also aligns git-replay's option handling with how other Git commands
manage option conflicts, using the established die_for_incompatible_opt*()
helper family.

The `advance_name` variable can either contain a static string when
parsed via the `--advance` command line option or it may be an allocated
string when set via `determine_replay_mode()`. Because we cannot be sure
whether it is allocated or not we just didn't free it at all, resulting
in a memory leak.
Split up the variables such that we can track the static and allocated
strings separately and then free the allocated one to fix the memory
leak.

The documentation claims that "recursive defaults to the diff.algorithm
config setting", but this is currently not the case. This fixes it,
ensuring that diff.algorithm is used when -Xdiff-algorithm is not
supplied. This affects the following porcelain commands: "merge",
"rebase", "cherry-pick", "pull", "stash", "log", "am" and "checkout".
It also affects the "merge-tree" ancillary interrogator.
This change refactors the initialization of merge options to introduce
two functions, "init_merge_ui_options" and "init_merge_basic_options"
instead of just one "init_merge_options". This design follows the
approach used in diff.c, providing initialization methods for
porcelain and plumbing commands respectively. Thanks to that, the
"replay" and "merge-recursive" plumbing commands remain unaffected by
diff.algorithm.

When creating commits via `commit_tree_extended()`, the caller passes in
a string list of parents. This call implicitly transfers ownership of
that list to the function, which is quite surprising to begin with. But
to make matters worse, `commit_tree_extended()` doesn't even bother to
free the list of parents in error cases. The result is a memory leak,
and one that the caller cannot fix by themselves because they do not
know whether parts of the string list have already been released.
Refactor the code such that callers can keep ownership of the list of
parents, which is getting indicated by parameter being a constant
pointer now. Free the lists at the calling site and add a common exit
path to those sites as required.

The replay command is able to replay multiple branches but when some of
them are based on other replayed branches, their commit should be
replayed onto already replayed commits.
For this purpose, let's store the replayed commit and its original
commit in a key value store, so that we can easily find and reuse a
replayed commit instead of the original one.

There is already a 'rebase' mode with `--onto`. Let's add an 'advance' or
'cherry-pick' mode with `--advance`. This new mode will make the target
branch advance as we replay commits onto it.
The replayed commits should have a single tip, so that it's clear where
the target branch should be advanced. If they have more than one tip,
this new mode will error out.

Instead of the fixed "<oldbase> <branch>" arguments, the replay
command now accepts "<revision-range>..." arguments in a similar
way as many other Git commands. This makes its interface more
standard and more flexible.
This also enables many revision related options accepted and
eaten by setup_revisions(). If the replay command was a high level
one or had a high level mode, it would make sense to restrict some
of the possible options, like those generating non-contiguous
history, as they could be confusing for most users.
Also as the interface of the command is now mostly finalized,
we can add more documentation and more testcases to make sure
the command will continue to work as designed in the future.
We only document the rev-list related options among all the
revision related options that are now accepted, as the rev-list
related ones are probably the most useful for now.

We want this command to be a minimal command that just does server side
picking of commits, displaying the results on stdout for higher level
scripts to consume.
So let's simplify it:
* remove the worktree and index reading/writing,
* remove the ref (and reflog) updating,
* remove the assumptions tying us to HEAD, since (a) this is not a
rebase and (b) we want to be able to pick commits in a bare repo,
i.e. to/from branches that are not checked out and not the main
branch,
* remove unneeded includes,
* handle rebasing multiple branches by printing on stdout the update
ref commands that should be performed.
The output can be piped into `git update-ref --stdin` for the ref
updates to happen.
In the future to make it easier for users to use this command
directly maybe an option can be added to automatically pipe its output
into `git update-ref`.

The replay command will be changed in a follow up commit, so that it
will not update refs directly, but instead it will print on stdout a
list of commands that can be consumed by `git update-ref --stdin`.
We don't want this output to be polluted by its current low value
output, so let's just remove the latter.
In the future, when the command gets an option to update refs by
itself, it will make a lot of sense to display a progress meter, but
we are not there yet.

We want to be able to handle signed commits in some way in the future,
but we are not ready to do it now. So for the time being let's just add
a FIXME comment to remind us about it.
These are different ways we could handle them:
- in case of a cli user and if there was an interactive mode, we could
perhaps ask if the user wants to sign again
- we could add an option to just fail if there are signed commits

Let's force the rev walking options we need after calling
setup_revisions() instead of before.
This might override some user supplied rev walking command line options
though. So let's detect that and warn users by:
a) setting the desired values, before setup_revisions(),
b) checking after setup_revisions() whether these values differ from
the desired values,
c) if so throwing a warning and setting the desired values again.
We want the command to work from older commits to newer ones by default.
Also we don't want history simplification, as we want to deal with all
the commits in the affected range.

Instead of manually parsing arguments, let's start using the parse_options
API. This way this new builtin will look more standard, and in some
upcoming commits will more easily be able to handle more command line
options.
Note that we plan to later use standard revision ranges instead of
hardcoded "<oldbase> <branch>" arguments. When we will use standard
revision ranges, it will be easier to check if there are no spurious
arguments if we keep ARGV[0], so let's call parse_options() with
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_ARGV0 even if we don't need ARGV[0] right now to avoid
some useless code churn.
