save_opts() should save any non-default values. It was intended to do
this, but since most options in struct replay_opts default to 0, it only
saved non-zero values. Unfortunately, this does not always work for
options.edit. Roughly speaking, options.edit had a default value of 0
for cherry-pick but a default value of 1 for revert. Make save_opts()
record a value whenever it differs from the default.
options.edit was also overly simplistic; we had more than two cases.
The behavior that previously existed was as follows:
Non-conflict commits Right after Conflict
revert Edit iff isatty(0) Edit (ignore isatty(0))
cherry-pick No edit See above
Specify --edit Edit (ignore isatty(0)) See above
Specify --no-edit (*) See above
(*) Before stopping for conflicts, No edit is the behavior. After
stopping for conflicts, the --no-edit flag is not saved so see
the first two rows.
However, the expected behavior is:
Non-conflict commits Right after Conflict
revert Edit iff isatty(0) Edit iff isatty(0)
cherry-pick No edit Edit iff isatty(0)
Specify --edit Edit (ignore isatty(0)) Edit (ignore isatty(0))
Specify --no-edit No edit No edit
In order to get the expected behavior, we need to change options.edit
to a tri-state: unspecified, false, or true. When specified, we follow
what it says. When unspecified, we need to check whether the current
commit being created is resolving a conflict as well as consulting
options.action and isatty(0). While at it, add a should_edit() utility
function that compresses options.edit down to a boolean based on the
additional information for the non-conflict case.
continue_single_pick() is the function responsible for resuming after
conflict cases, regardless of whether there is one commit being picked
or many. Make this function stop assuming edit behavior in all cases,
so that it can correctly handle !isatty(0) and specific requests to not
edit the commit message.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
