Subject: [PATCH v7 4/5] sequencer: extract helpers for the squash message markers
Date: Mon, 06 Jul 2026 08:50:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <001356db93594bca92747ab8f443373f1e9025ed.1783327849.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2337.v7.git.git.1783327849.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>

When "git rebase -i" squashes commits it builds an editor template with a
"This is a combination of N commits." banner, a "This is the 1st/Nth
commit message:" header above each kept message (or a "will be skipped"
header for a dropped one), and a commented-out subject for any fixup!,
squash! or amend! commit. The banner, the headers and the
subject-commenting all live in static helpers in sequencer.c wired to the
rebase state, so no other command can present a squash the same way.

Pull the three pieces out into add_squash_combination_header(),
add_squash_message_header() (which takes a flag for the "will be skipped"
variant) and squash_subject_comment_len(), and use them from
update_squash_messages() and append_squash_message(). A later change
reuses them to give "git history squash --reedit-message" the same
template.

No change in behavior.
