Subject: [PATCH v2] rebase: remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting
Message-ID: <20190314132444.25881-1-avarab@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20190213142209.8226-1-avarab@gmail.com>

Remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting, which was added as an escape
hatch to disable the builtin version of rebase first released with Git
2.20.

See [1] for the initial implementation of rebase.useBuiltin, and [2]
and [3] for the documentation and corresponding
GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN option.

Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden as seen in
7e097e27d3 ("legacy-rebase: backport -C<n> and --whitespace=<option>
checks", 2018-11-20) and 9aea5e9286 ("rebase: fix regression in
rebase.useBuiltin=false test mode", 2019-02-13). Since the built-in
version has been shown to be stable enough let's remove the legacy
version.

There's still a bunch of references to git-legacy-rebase in po/*.po,
but those will be dealt with in time by the i18n effort.

1. 55071ea248 ("rebase: start implementing it as a builtin",
   2018-08-07)
2. d8d0a546f0 ("rebase doc: document rebase.useBuiltin", 2018-11-14)
3. 62c23938fa ("tests: add a special setup where rebase.useBuiltin is
   off", 2018-11-14)
---

I submitted this shortly before v2.21.0 where Junio noted that he'd
rather take the smaller 9aea5e9286 fix for that release.

So here this is again now that we've started on v2.22.0. Only trivial
changes:

 - updated commit message
 - removed legacy script from .gitignore
 - adjusted more test code for a test added in 9aea5e9286
