From 67f16e3d3fbd1eccda5d1cdb33d04cd087162057 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sunshine Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 03:33:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] sequencer: fix "rebase -i --root" corrupting author header timestamp When "git rebase -i --root" creates a new root commit, it corrupts the "author" header's timestamp by prepending a "@": author A U Thor @1112912773 -0700 The commit parser is very strict about the format of the "author" header, and does not allow a "@" in that position. The "@" comes from GIT_AUTHOR_DATE in "rebase-merge/author-script", signifying a Unix epoch-based timestamp, however, read_author_ident() incorrectly allows it to slip into the commit's "author" header, thus corrupting it. One possible fix would be simply to filter out the "@" when constructing the "author" header timestamp, however, a more correct fix is to parse the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE date (via parse_date()) and format the parsed result into the "author" header. Since "rebase-merge/author-script" may be edited by the user, this approach has the extra benefit of catching other potential timestamp corruption due to hand-editing. We can do better than calling parse_date() ourselves and constructing the "author" header manually, however, by instead taking advantage of fmt_ident() which does this work for us. The benefits of using fmt_ident() are twofold. First, it simplifies the logic considerably by allowing us to avoid the complexity of building the "author" header in parallel with and in the same buffer from which "rebase-merge/author-script" is being parsed. Instead, fmt_ident() is invoked to compose the header after parsing is complete. Second, fmt_ident() is careful to prevent "crud" from polluting the composed ident. As with validating GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, this "crud" avoidance prevents other (possibly hand-edited) bogus author information from "rebase-merge/author-script" from corrupting the commit object.
