Now that the sequencer learned to process a "normal" interactive rebase,
we use it. The original shell script is still used for "non-normal"
interactive rebases, i.e. when --root or --preserve-merges was passed.
Please note that the --root option (via the $squash_onto variable) needs
special handling only for the very first command, hence it is still okay
to use the helper upon continue/skip.
Also please note that the --no-ff setting is volatile, i.e. when the
interactive rebase is interrupted at any stage, there is no record of
it. Therefore, we have to pass it from the shell script to the
rebase--helper.

Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite
its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point
of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from
performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where
we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX.
Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed
the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and
instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally
never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop.
To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other
benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start *somewhere*.
The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends
to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most
affected by the performance penalties mentioned above.
In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer
to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git
rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper.
Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the
technical debt.
Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient
--ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not
persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.

The interactive rebase has the very special magic that a cherry-pick
that exits with a status different from 0 and 1 signifies a failure to
even record that a cherry-pick was started.
This can happen e.g. when a fast-forward fails because it would
overwrite untracked files.
In that case, we must reschedule the command that we thought we already
had at least started successfully.

Git's `rebase` command inspects the `rebase.autostash` config setting
to determine whether it should stash any uncommitted changes before
rebasing and re-apply them afterwards.
As we introduce more bits and pieces to let the sequencer act as
interactive rebase's backend, here is the part that adds support for
the autostash feature.

An interactive rebase operates on a detached HEAD (to keep the reflog
of the original branch relatively clean), and updates the branch only
at the end.
Now that the sequencer learns to perform interactive rebases, it also
needs to learn the trick to update the branch before removing the
directory containing the state of the interactive rebase.

When the last command of an interactive rebase fails, the user needs to
resolve the problem and then continue the interactive rebase. Naturally,
the todo script is empty by then. So let's not complain about that!
To that end, let's move that test out of the function that parses the
todo script, and into the more high-level function read_populate_todo().
This is also necessary by now because the lower-level parse_insn_buffer()
has no idea whether we are performing an interactive rebase or not.

When a cherry-pick continues without a "todo script", the intention is
simply to pick a single commit.
However, when an interactive rebase is continued without a "todo

This commit guards the revert/cherry-pick specific steps so that they

When the interactive rebase aborts, it writes out an author-script file

For users' convenience, most rebase commands can be abbreviated, e.g.

This is a huge patch, and at the same time a huge step forward to
execute the performance-critical parts of the interactive rebase in a
builtin command.
Since 'fixup' and 'squash' are not only similar, but also need to know
about each other (we want to reduce a series of fixups/squashes into a
single, final commit message edit, from the user's point of view), we
really have to implement them both at the same time.
Most of the actual work is done by the existing code path that already
handles the "pick" and the "edit" commands; We added support for other
features (e.g. to amend the commit message) in the patches leading up to
this one, yet there are still quite a few bits in this patch that simply
would not make sense as individual patches (such as: determining whether
there was anything to "fix up" in the "todo" script, etc).
In theory, it would be possible to reuse the fast-forward code path also
for the fixup and the squash code paths, but in practice this would make
the code less readable. The end result cannot be fast-forwarded anyway,
therefore let's just extend the cherry-picking code path for now.
Since the sequencer parses the entire `git-rebase-todo` script in one go,
fixup or squash commands without a preceding pick can be reported early
(in git-rebase--interactive, we could only report such errors just before
executing the fixup/squash).

The 'exec' command is a little special among rebase -i's commands, as it

This patch is a straight-forward reimplementation of the `edit`
operation of the interactive rebase command.
Well, not *quite* straight-forward: when stopping, the `edit`
command wants to write the `patch` file (which is not only the
patch, but includes the commit message and author information). To
that end, this patch requires the earlier work that taught the
log-tree machinery to respect the `file` setting of
rev_info->diffopt to write to a file stream different than stdout.

The 'noop' command is probably the most boring of all rebase -i commands
to support in the sequencer.
Which makes it an excellent candidate for this first stab to add support
for rebase -i's commands to the sequencer.
For the moment, let's also treat empty lines and commented-out lines as
'noop'; We will refine that handling later in this patch series.
To make it easier to identify "classes" of todo_commands (such as:
determine whether a command is pick-like, i.e. handles a single commit),
let's enforce a certain order of said commands.

In cmd_pull(), when verifying that there are no changes preventing a
rebasing pull, we diligently pass the prefix parameter to the
die_on_unclean_work_tree() function which in turn diligently passes it
to the has_unstaged_changes() and has_uncommitted_changes() functions.
The casual reader might now be curious (as this developer was) whether
that means that calling `git pull --rebase` in a subdirectory will
ignore unstaged changes in other parts of the working directory. And be
puzzled that `git pull --rebase` (correctly) complains about those
changes outside of the current directory.
The puzzle is easily resolved: while we take pains to pass around the
prefix and even pass it to init_revisions(), the fact that no paths are
passed to init_revisions() ensures that the prefix is simply ignored.
That, combined with the fact that we will *always* want a *full* working
directory check before running a rebasing pull, is reason enough to
simply do away with the actual prefix parameter and to pass NULL
instead, as if we were running this from the top-level working directory
anyway.
