Subject: builtin/rebase.c: make sure the active branch isn't moved when autostashing
X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/d2172ef02dee468b85bc4567332cbf58cd6b4b0a

builtin/rebase.c: make sure the active branch isn't moved when autostashing

Consider the following scenario:
git checkout not-the-master
work work work
git rebase --autostash upstream master

Here 'rebase --autostash <upstream> <branch>' incorrectly moves the
active branch (not-the-master) to master (before the rebase).

The expected behavior: (58794775:/git-rebase.sh:526)
AUTOSTASH=$(git stash create autostash)
git reset --hard
git checkout master
git rebase upstream
git stash apply $AUTOSTASH

The actual behavior: (6defce2b:/builtin/rebase.c:1062)
AUTOSTASH=$(git stash create autostash)
git reset --hard master
git checkout master
git rebase upstream
git stash apply $AUTOSTASH

This commit reinstates the 'legacy script' behavior as introduced with
58794775: rebase: implement --[no-]autostash and rebase.autostash
