rebase am already has this flag to "lie" about the committer date
by changing it to the author date. Let's add the same for
interactive machinery.

This is needed here, because am-opts no longer has the
committer-date-is-author-date passed through with the
parse_options() call in cmd_rebase(), which makes sense.

Hmph, are we sure that author-script is always available at this
point so that a call to read_author_date_or_die() is safe?  There
are three callers to the run_git_commit() function and I am not sure
if codepaths that reach all of them prepared the input to the
read_author_script() helper.

In the same function, we seem to be grabbing the author ident by
calling get_author(message), where the message is an in-core copy of
a commit object, which suggests me that we may not necessarily be
working with the on-disk information read_author_date_or_die() is
prepared to deal with.  Are we sure we have the needed information
on disk so that read_author_date_or_die() will read the correct
information from the disk?

These two are propagating the option across rebase invocations, and
they should be correct (as correct as how correctly other options
are propagated ;-)).

This codepath does have read_env_script() which reads from the
author script an earlier call to write_author_script() would have
left on disk (at least when do_merge() is called with 'commit'
argument, anyway), so we should be able to read from it (or the
existing code is already buggy---and this patch just makes it
slightly worse by depending on a wrong assumption even more).  OK.

Hi Rohit

It's good to see this patch reducing the differences between the rebase 
backends.

I guess it's good to do this for completeness but does 
rebase--preserver-merges.sh support --committer-date-is-author-date? It 
is the only caller of rebase--interactive I think so would be the only 
user of this code.

Can we have this return an error please - we try quite hard in the

It's a shame to be doing this twice is slightly different ways in the 
same function (and again in try_to_commit() but I don't think that can 
be avoided as not all callers of run_git_commit() go through 
try_to_commit()). As I think the child inherits the current environment 
modified by cmd.env_array we could just call setenv() at the top of the 
function. It would be worth looking to see if it would be simpler to do 
the setenv() call in the loop that picks the commits, then we would 
avoid having to do it in do_merge() and try_to_commit() separately.

This is safe as we don't save the state of allow_ff for rebases so it 
wont be overridden later. It would be an idea to add to the checks in 
the assert() at the beginning of pick_commits() no we have another 
option that implies --force-rebase.

Oh! Yes, I did it for the completeness. Let's add the flag while we
still have that _rebase--interactive_ command hanging out with us.

Yes, we can through an error and continue, but then the user will
see the unchanged author date which is against his / her will but
it will not crash the program at least.

Ok, I'll have to change the code according to what Junio suggested.
Let's see how this area will look after that.

Are you suggesting to modify this assert() call (in pick_commits())?

    if (opts->allow_ff)
        assert(!(opts->signoff || opts->no_commit ||
                opts->record_origin || opts->edit));

I dont think it should continue, the error should be propagated up to 
cmd_rebase() (In your patch I think one of the context lines in 
run_git_commit() shows this happening)

Yes I think it should check for opts->committer_date_is_author_date here

Functions do_pick_commit() and do_merge() always write author_script
before calling run_git_commit(), so,  we are sure to find it on disk.
Furthermore, commit_staged_changes() only calls run_git_commit() when
rebase is stopped (by merge conflicts or 'edit' commands), so we are
sure that the previous invocation of git must have saved author_script.
In all other cases, we fail as we should.

Yes, in that case, we can re-parse the author date and re-set the
env variable while we are in this if branch. I believe that the
information stored on the disk is same as the information retrieved
through get_author(), please confirm or disprove this.

With all this knowledge, I'll polish the patch and re-send it.
