[PATCH] rebase -i: restore autostash on abort

2016-06-28 Thread Patrick Steinhardt
When we abort an interactive rebase we do so by calling
`die_abort`, which cleans up after us by removing the rebase
state directory. If the user has requested to use the autostash
feature, though, the state directory may also contain a reference
to the autostash, which will now be deleted.

Fix the issue by trying to re-apply the autostash in `die_abort`.
This will also handle the case where the autostash does not apply
cleanly anymore by recording it in a user-visible stash.

I do not do autostash myself, but it is a good thing to try not to
lose information ;-)

While making sure this case works is crucial, it is not an
interesting failure mode, is it?  Can we also have "does not apply
cleanly anymore" case, too?

It is "interesting" if you mean "matches real-life use-case", as it
corresponds to the case where the user killed the editor (as reported by
Daniel Hahler indeed, "Abort with ":cq", which will make Vim exit
non-zero").

If you mean "likely to trigger nasty bugs", then indeed testing the case
when apply_autostash fails is interesting: for example, calling
die_abort when "stash apply" fails is tempting, but would lead to
infinite recursion (it doesn't seem to be the case, but a test would be
nice). Setting the editor to something that modifies uncommited-content
before 'false' should do the trick.

Yes.  It is an interesting failure mode in that sense.  But breakage
of such a basic mode is something an end-user is likely to notice
immediately, so in that sense, having such a test alone is not all
that interesting.

Well, given that the bug has been lingering since autostashing
has been implemented it seems users didn't catch the breakage as
fast ;) I guess it's just a little-used feature _or_ the breakage
is too obscure to regularly happen. At least I have never cause
my editor to return an error when editing the ISN-sheet.

But still, I agree that a test for conflicting autostashes is
beneficial, even though the scenario is even more unlikely (the
user's editor has to return an error code as well as that a
stashed file needs to be modified while editing the ISN-sheet).
I've just sent out a second version of the patch.

Thank you both for your input.
