From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

If "git rebase" fails to start after stashing the user's uncommitted
changes then it forgets to restore the stashed changes and remove the
state directory. To make matters worse, running "git rebase --abort" to
apply the stashed changes and cleanup the state directory fails because
the state directory only contains the "autostash" file and is missing
the "head-name" and "onto" files required by read_basic_state().

Fix this by applying the autostash and removing the state directory if
the pre-rebase hook or initial checkout fail. This matches what
finish_rebase() does at the end of a successful rebase. If the user
modifies any files after the autostash is created it is possible there
will be conflicts when the autostash is applied. In that case
apply_autostash() saves the stash in a new entry under refs/stash and so
it is safe to remove the state directory containing the autostash file.

New tests are added to check the autostash is applied and the state
directory is removed if the rebase fails to start. Checks are also added
to some existing tests in order to ensure there is no state directory
left behind when a rebase fails to start and no autostash has been
created.

    rebase: apply and cleanup autostash when rebase fails to start
    
    Thanks to Junio and Patrick for their comments on V1. I've updated the
    commit message to correct the typos found by Patrick and added an
    explanation of why it is safe to remove the state directory.
    
    In his review Patrick suggested removing the backwards jump after
    applying the autostash and cleaning up the state directory in favor of a
    variable that tracks if we need to apply the autostash. I've decided not
    to do that as I think having to set a variable before jumping to a
    cleanup label is more complicated and error prone. There are similar
    backward jumps in builtin/stash.c:show_stash() and
    config.c:git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently()
    
    Thanks to Brian for reporting this. This patch is based on maint, when
    merging with master there is an easily resolved conflict with a change
    from 'ps/config-wo-the-repository' which modifies an adjacent line.

Any other comments, or are we all happy with this iteration?

Thanks.
