[PATCH 1/2] rebase -i: demonstrate incorrect behavior of post-rewrite hook with exec

[Matthieu Moy]

The 'exec' command is sending the current commit to stopped-sha, which is
supposed to contain the original commit (before rebase). As a result, if
an 'exec' command fails, the next 'git rebase --continue' will send the
current commit as <old-sha1> to the post-rewrite hook.

The test currently fails with :

[PATCH 2/2] rebase -i: fix post-rewrite hook with failed exec command

[Matthieu Moy]

Usually, when 'git rebase' stops before completing the rebase, it is to
give the user an opportunity to edit a commit (e.g. with the 'edit'
command). In such cases, 'git rebase' leaves the sha1 of the commit being
rewritten in "$state_dir"/stopped-sha, and subsequent 'git rebase
--continue' will call the post-rewrite hook with this sha1 as <old-sha1>
argument to the post-rewrite hook.

The case of 'git rebase' stopping because of a failed 'exec' command is
different: it gives the opportunity to the user to examine or fix the
failure, but does not stop saying "here's a commit to edit, use
--continue when you're done". So, there's no reason to call the
post-rewrite hook for 'exec' commands. If the user did rewrite the
commit, it would be with 'git commit --amend' which already called the
post-rewrite hook.

Fix the behavior to leave no stopped-sha file in case of failed exec
command, and teach 'git rebase --continue' to skip record_in_rewritten if
no stopped-sha file is found.

I'm afraid I'm the one to blame for the bug :-(.

Thanks, will add in v2.
