[v2,2/2] rebase -i: introduce the 'break' command

Commit Message

Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget Oct. 10, 2018, 8:53 a.m. UTC
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The 'edit' command can be used to cherry-pick a commit and then
immediately drop out of the interactive rebase, with exit code 0, to let
the user amend the commit, or test it, or look around.

Sometimes this functionality would come in handy *without*
cherry-picking a commit, e.g. to interrupt the interactive rebase even
before cherry-picking a commit, or immediately after an 'exec' or a
'merge'.

This commit introduces that functionality, as the spanking new 'break'
command.

Hi Johannes

I think this would be a useful addition to rebase, there's one small
comment below.

Normally when rebase stops it prints a message to say where it has got
to and how to continue, it might be useful to do the same here

That's a very valid point. I'll think of something.

I'm not sure what gets left on the screen from the previous picks but
something to say what the last pick/exec was and maybe what the current
HEAD is would be useful I think. One thing has just occurred to me -
what does git status say (and does it still work - I'm not sure how much
parsing it does on the todo and done files) if it is run while rebase is
stopped on a break command?

Best Wishes

I first wanted to do that, imitating the "Stopped at <hex>... <oneline>"
of an `edit` command, but it *is* now possible that we are on an unborn
branch... which will look a bit funny, I guess, as we construct a very
special place-holder commit to be HEAD in that case.

I don't think it says anything special, really. It just reports that we're
in the middle of a rebase, listing up to two already-processed and up to
two to-be-processed todo commands.
