... and when recalling a commit message from an old commit by pressing up-arrow.
This is necessary because committing turns our soft line breaks into real ones,
but when rewording we want to turn them back into soft ones again, so that it's
possible to insert words at the beginning of a paragraph and have everything
rewrap nicely.
This is only a best effort; the algorithm only removes those hard line breaks
that can be removed without changing the way the message looks. This works well
when the previous commit message was wrapped at the same width, which for most
users should be the most common case; but if it wasn't, the result is not great.
Specifically, if the old wrap width was smaller, some hard line breaks just
won't be removed; if it was wider though, you'll get an unpleasant comb effect
with alternating long and short lines. In such a case it's best to switch to the
editor and use whatever wrapping features you have there (e.g. alt-Q).
I have seen some commit messages that contain CRLF instead of just LF; I'm not
sure if these were created by a broken git client, but they exist, so we need to
deal with them. Editing them when rewording a commit sort of works, but is a
little strange; the \r characters are invisble, so you need an extra arrow key
press to skip over them.
In the next commit we are going to add more logic related to line breaks, and it
is getting confused by the \r, so it is becoming more important to fix this. The
easiest fix is to normalize the line endings right after loading.

Keep the same commit selected after squashing fixup commits, and after
creating fixup commits.
Edge case: it is now possible to have a range of commits selected when
squashing fixups (by using the "in current branch" version of the
command), and in that case we don't bother preserving the range. It
would be possible, but would require more code, and I don't think it's
worth it, so I'm simply collapsing the range in that case.
This should arguably have been done in b133318b40 already; it's becoming more
important now because we're going to extend the common code with more logic in
the next commit.
We have such a test already (squash_fixups_above_first_commit.go), but it can't
be used for what we want to check here, because it uses the first commit, and we
can't move down from there. So create a new one that basically does the same
thing, but for a commit in the middle. The focus of this new test is to check
how the selection behaves; as you can see, there is a problem both when creating
a fixup and when squashing fixups. We'll address these separately in the next
commits.
- **PR Description**
It is now possible to select a range of commits (while not in a rebase),
and hit "e" to edit them all. This starts a rebase on the bottom-most
commit of the range, and sets all the selected commits to "edit"
(skipping merge commits, because they can't be edited).
It starts a rebase on the bottom-most commit of the range, and sets all the
selected commits to "edit" (skipping merge commits, because they can't be
edited).
In most real-world scenarios, name and path are usually the same. They don't
have to be though, and it's important to make sure we use the right one when
passing arguments to git commands, so change the tests to have different name
and path.
When doing a non-interactive rebase using a version of git earlier than
2.26, or by explicitly calling `git -c rebase.backend=apply rebase`,
lazygit can display the pending todos by parsing the numbered patch
files in `.git/rebase-apply/`. Unfortunately, support for this has been
broken for more than three years because of the change in 682db77401
(the string literal "normal" should have been changed to
REBASE_MODE_NORMAL instead of REBASE_MODE_MERGING).
It's not an important bug since you can only get into this situation by
doing a rebase outside of lazygit, and then only with a pretty old git
version or by using very uncommon git options. So instead of fixing the
bug, just remove the code.

Fix a bug where merging would fail with an error message when you try to
put more than one argument in the `git.merging.args` config. This broke
with 25f8b0337e.
Fixes#3334.
This makes it possible again to pass multiple arguments, for example
"--ff-only --autostash". This won't work correctly if you want to use
an argument that contains a space, but it's very unlikely that people
will want to do that, so I think this is good enough.
- **PR Description**
When doing an interactive rebase of a stack of branches with the
`rebase.updateRefs` git config set to true, you get `update-ref` todos
between the "pick" items. In this situation we would still show the
branch head icon for each pick item that used to be the head of a
branch. This is confusing, especially when you want to move a new commit
to the head of a branch in the middle of the stack. Consider the
following scenario:
<img width="410" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/assets/1225667/438b7157-e51e-48fb-95a9-b67039a7ad30">
Here we have made a new commit at the top of the stack, entered
interactive rebase, and moved the commit down to the head of the second
branch. Now it sits between the commit that shows the branch icon of the
second branch, and the update-ref item for the second branch. This is
super confusing, and it's simply better to not show branch icons for
pick entries. That's what this PR does.
We do show the icons if the `rebase.updateRefs` config is off, because
otherwise there would be no indication of where the branches start and
end. Of course, changing anything in this case will destroy the stack,
so maybe it would be better to hide the icons in this case too to make
this more obvious. I'm unsure about that.
The additional branch head icon is more confusing than useful in this situation.
The update-ref entries show very clearly where the branch heads will go when
continuing the rebase; the information where the branch heads used to be before
the rebase is not really needed here, and just makes the display more confusing.
I'm not adding more tests here because the changes to the existing tests
demonstrate the change clearly enough.
The helix binary seems to be called "helix" on some distributions (e.g. Arch),
but "hx" on others (e.g. Fedora). Provide presets for both, so that
auto-detection from $EDITOR works.

A common workflow for me is to create a fixup commit from only some of
my current changes; to do that, I enter a file, stage a few hunks, and
then want to invoke ctrl-f to find the base commit for these changes.
Currently I need to esc back to the files panel in order to do that;
it's more convenient to be able to do this right from the staging panel.
Labelled as "ignore-for-release" because the ctrl-f feature has only
been added after the last release, so no release notes needed for this
change.

Calling "git reset" on the command line (without further arguments)
defaults to --mixed, which is reason enough to make it the default for
us, too.
But I also find myself using --mixed more often than --soft. The main
use case for me is that I made a bunch of WIP commits, and want to turn
them into real commits when I'm done hacking. I select the last commit
before the WIP commits and reset to it, leaving all changes of all those
commits in the working directory. Since I want to start staging things
from there, I prefer those modifications to be unstaged at that point,
which is what --mixed does.

I encountered the problem that I couldn't extract changes into a new
commit because I had difftastic as an external git tool configured.
Add `diff.noprefix=false` config Option and also specify `--no-ext-diff`
when doing the `git diff` after applying a patch.
This fixes#3107.
Though, there might be other config options that can cause problems, but
fixing these common cases should be an improvement nevertheless.
For some lists it is useful to keep the same sort order when filtering (rather
than sorting by best match like we usually do). Add an optional function to
FilteredList to make this possible, and use it whenever we show lists of things
sorted by date (branches, stashes, reflog entries), as well as menu items
because this allows us to keep the section headers in the keybindings menu,
which is useful for understanding what you are looking at when filtering.
After #3283 we need to read more lines initially so that the scrollbar
goes to its minimal height of 1 for long diffs. Without this, it would
start with a height of 2 and then become smaller after you scroll down
half the window height.
It does mean that we need to read twice the number of lines initially
(up to the limit of 5000). I think it's worth it, I find the incorrect
initial size confusing.

Fix order problems when saving custom commands history
This fixes two problems:
- each time the custom commands panel was opened, the history of commands would
be shown in reversed order compared to last time. (The reason is that
lo.Reverse modifies the slice in place rather than just returning a new,
reversed slice.)
- when executing a previous command again (either by typing it in again, or by
picking it from the history), it should move to the beginning of the history,
but didn't.
We fix this by storing the history in reversed order (as the user sees it in
the panel), this makes the logic simpler. We just have to prepend rather
than append newly added commands now.
While this is theoretically a breaking change, it's not worth bothering because
the order was wrong for existing users in 50% of the cases anyway.

This fixes two loosely related problems with `update-ref` todos:
1. Panic when hitting enter on an `update-ref` item
2. When selecting an `update-ref` item and then triggering a refresh,
there was a bogus error message `fatal: ambiguous argument '': unknown
revision or path not in the working tree.`
Scenario:
- show the files of a commit, escape out of it again
- start an interactive rebase of a stack of branches, with the rebase.updateRefs
git config set to true
- select one of the update-ref todos
- trigger a refresh (either manually or by bringing lazygit's terminal window to
the front)
This results in an error message "fatal: ambiguous argument '': unknown revision
or path not in the working tree."
Fix this by putting another band-aid on the check for the commit files refresh.
This is the easiest way to fix the problem, but I don't think it's the best one.
We shouldn't be refreshing the commit files context at all if it isn't visible,
because it's pointless; there's no way to switch to it again except by calling
viewFiles again with a specific ref. But I'm too lazy too figure out how to do
that right now.
Cherry-picking merge commits is currently not supported because of the
way copy/pasting is currently implemented. Disable the command with a
proper error message if the user tries to copy a merge commit, instead
of running into the confusing error message that git would otherwise
give, see #1374.
While we're at it, disable it also when trying to copy an "update-ref"
todo, which doesn't make sense.
It can be tedious after each cherry-pick opearation to clear the
selection by pressing escape in order for lazygit to stop displaying
info about copied commits. Also, it seems to be a rare case to
cherry-pick commits to more than one destination.
The simplest solution to address this issue is to clear the selection
upon paste, including merge conflict scenario.
Previously discussed in #3198.
Add command to squash all fixups in the current branch.
To do that, change the "Apply fixup commits" command to show a menu with
the two choices "in current branch" and "above the selected commit"; we
make "in current branch" the default, as it's the more useful one most
of the time, even though it is a breaking change for those who are used
to "shift-S enter" meaning "squash above selected".

I prefer this because I almost never use sticky range selections, but
I'm not sure everybody agrees. Also, this fixes the issue that just
clicking a line in a diff (without dragging) already creates a range
selection. It still does, technically, but it's no longer a problem
because a non-sticky one-line range selection behaves the same as a
non-range selection.

Now that branches can be sorted by date, there's a new situation that we
didn't have before: when fetching a branch, its committer date can
change, so it will move up in the list; we need to update the selection
index to follow. This is important for the case that master is behind
its upstream and you want to rebase your checked-out branch onto master:
in that case you would select master, press "f" to fetch, and then press
"r" to rebase onto it. It's very bad if master doesn't stay selected
after fetching.

This wasn't necessary before, because the only available branch sorting option
was by recency, so the sort order couldn't change except by checking out
branches. Now, you can sort by committer date, so the branch order can change by
fetching; in this case it's important to keep the same branch selected. One
important use case is to rebase the checked-out branch onto master; you select
master, press "f" to fetch it (this can now change its position in the list),
and then press "r" to rebase. To make this work smoothly it's important to keep
master selected after pressing "f".
