[PATCH v3 7/8] rebase: update refs from 'update-ref' commands

From
Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jun 28, 2022, 13:25 UTC
Message-ID
<72e0481b643e98c5670eee0bf5c199c4fb693b16.1656422759.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1247.v3.git.1656422759.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The previous change introduced the 'git rebase --update-refs' option which added 'update-ref <ref>' commands to the todo list of an interactive rebase.

Teach Git to record the HEAD position when reaching these 'update-ref' commands. The ref/OID pair is stored in the $GIT_DIR/rebase-merge/update-refs file. A previous change parsed this file to avoid having other processes updating the refs in that file while the rebase is in progress.

Not only do we update the file when the sequencer reaches these 'update-ref' commands, we then update the refs themselves at the end of the rebase sequence. If the rebase is aborted before this final step, then the refs are not updated.
