When the sequencer processes a chain of "fixup" and "squash" commands it keeps a list of the commands that have been executed. If there are conflicts, then the list is saved when the rebase stops for the user to resolve them. When the rebase resumes, the list is loaded and is used to initialize the count of how many "fixup" and "squash" commands have been processed; if a command has been skipped with "git rebase --skip", then the last command needs to be popped off the end of the list. To count the number of commands, commit_staged_changes() uses the number of newlines in the file plus one. This is due to the slightly unusual way the list is constructed - instead of appending a newline when a command is added, a newline is inserted before the command if the current count is greater than zero. Therefore, when we pop a skipped command off the list, we should also remove the newline that precedes it. Otherwise, when a new command is added, a blank line will be left before it, which will contribute to the fixup count the next time the file is read. Unfortunately, the preceding newline is not removed, leading to an incorrect count. Fix this by removing the newline that appears before the skipped command. In addition to fixing the code that removes a skipped command from the list, the code that reads the list is fixed to skip blank lines. We have had reports of users starting a rebase with one version of git and continuing it with another. Often this happens because the version of git bundled with an IDE or TUI differs from the one used at the command line. By fixing both the reading and writing ends of the problem we ensure the count is correct when an older version of git reads the fixup file written by a newer version and vice versa. Triggering the incorrect count requires the user to skip two "fixup" or "squash" commands before the final command in the chain. An existing test is extended to prevent future regressions. The consequence of miscounting is not serious: we just print the wrong count in the header of the commit message template.

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.adoc to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc 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.adoc
(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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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
