The merge subcommand launched for merges with non-default strategy would
use its own default behaviour to decide how to sign commits, regardless
of what opts->gpg_sign was set to. For example the --no-gpg-sign flag
given to rebase explicitly would get ignored, if commit.gpgsign was set
to true.

Fix the issue and add a test case excercising this behaviour.

Makes sense, I guess.  As long as opts->gpg_sign reflects not just
the command line but also the configuration.  Otherwise, an
invocation of "git rebase" with no gpg-sign related command line
options would say "ah, opts->gpg_sign is false, we must have been
told from the command line not to sign, so pass --no-gpg-sign here"
and that is not correct.

I think that before this patch, we've tested the "no command line
option, but configuration tells us to sign" combination already to
make sure the result is signed, so this new test is sufficient.

I briefly wondered if "test_must_fail git verify-commit" sufficient
to make sure that the rebased commits are not signed (i.e. verify
may fail for reasons other than the commit lacks signature, like the
commit is signed but with a wrong key, etc.), but I think it is OK
at least for now.  Others might have clever ideas to cleanly and
cheaply reject other kinds of failures, in which case we may want to
adopt such a solution.

Now that we know that the root cause of the bug you fixed was
because rebase rebase with the default merge strategy for two-head
merges use separate codepaths from and all other rebases, I wonder
if it is prudent to also test the same cases this series adds
without giving "-s resolve".  That would exercise the other codepath
that handles the default merge strategy for two-head merges.  Yes,
we know that other codepath has been working even before this fix,
but tests are not about showing off what we fixed, but are about
making sure similar breakage won't be introduced by mistake in the
future.

Thanks.

I will leave that for someone else to tackle eventually.

As the number of very similar test is slowly growing, do you think it is
worth copying (or making more generic) the test_rebase_gpg_sign for this
situation as well? We currently have 4 almost identical tests (counting
the new one you suggested for v4). Just a thought, as it is simpler to
just add it at this point. Thanks for the feedback.

Samuel

We know that other codepath has been working even before this fix,
but tests are not about showing off what we fixed, but are about
making sure similar breakage won't be introduced by mistake in the
future.  Leaving it "for someone", when we know what the problem is
and how to solve it, is asking for the "evantually" not materialize
forever.

That is a tough question.  Often, a generic test helper makes it too
easy to do a full matrix of tests and encourages us to overdo it,
which we probably would want to avoid.  I think what I've suggested
so far is a bare minimum combination for code coverage.

I agree with that, don't take me wrong, but in general, people have
other things to do, than implement test cases only marginally related to
the inital patch they submitted.

Anyway, as it didn't take long in this case, I added them as patch 3/3
in v4.

Alright, I will leave them as is.
