histedit_parse_list: avoid needless free(line) getline(3) allows to safely re-use the storage. While here rename `size' to `linesize', `len' to `linelen', and properly initialize `linesize' to zero; suggested by tb@ ok tb@

fall back to vi(1) instead of ed(1) if neither EDITOR nor VISUAL are set ed users are reading files with their minds rather then their eyes, and might therefore be missing important visual clues we write into files before the user gets to edit them. Use of vi(1) ensures that such clues will not be missed.

include sha2.h too where sha1.h is included In preparation for wide sha256 support; stsp@ agrees. Change done mechanically with find . -iname \*.[cy] -exec sam {} + X ,x/<sha1\.h>/i/\n#include <sha2.h>

fix 'got merge' so it parses gitconfig for author cmd_merge is the only subcommand that may create commits that doesn't parse the git config files, thusly failing for users without GOT_AUTHOR defined. Problem reported by James Cook who also provided an initial test case, thanks! ok jamsek

add ci/he/mg/rb -C option to commit unresolved conflicts As per stsp's suggestion and building on his initial diff, add the -C option to enable creating commits with unresolved conflicts to the commit, histedit, merge, and rebase commands to allow continuing the operation despite files in conflict status. Also, only search for conflict markers in newly added lines to enable working with files already under version control that may have conflict markers embedded verbatim. lots of tweaks, improvements, and initial diff + ok stsp@

got: further fetch tweaks to prevent unintended fetches Implement stsp's suggestion to only fetch remote's HEAD if the symref refs/remote/*/HEAD exists, and its target no longer matches the remote HEAD. This ensures users tracking a project won't miss a change in HEAD, while also fixing the issue reported by naddy where HEAD was fetched by default even though a specific, potentially less active, branch is cloned, resulting in a repository with more commits than necessary. In addition, unless 'got fetch -b <branch>' is used, the remote HEAD branch will be fetched if branches are not set in got.conf and there is no work tree to ascertain a branch, or said branches are not found on the server. ok stsp@

add -n to 'got commit' usage; patch by Josiah Frentsos

backout got: always fetch remote HEAD except when -b is used As pointed out by naddy, this behaviour is not ideal when users want to limit their repository to a particular branch which will diverge from HEAD over time, such as -stable branches. See https://marc.gameoftrees.org/mail/1676388048.8632_0.html

got: always fetch remote HEAD except when -b is used Rather than only fetch HEAD when there are no branches set in got.conf and there is no branch to be inferred from a work tree, or said branches don't exist on the server, always fetch HEAD unless 'got fetch -b branch' is used. ok stsp@

got: drop commit -A $GOT_AUTHOR restriction As discussed with op and stsp on irc, this prevents the valid case of changing a commit's author to yourself during a histedit operation, and potentially blocks other valid use cases too. ok stsp@ and op@

got/tog/gotadmin: pledge earlier In the case of tog move setlocale(3) before pledge(2), as suggested by stsp. ok stsp@

special case 'got fetch -b <branch>' to only fetch <branch> As discussed on irc, this drops the implicit remote HEAD fetch when -b is used. got.1 has been updated to make the new fetch behaviour clear. ok stsp@

make new log message modication check more robust; fixes regress fallout ok jamsek

garbage-collect redundant read_logmsg() parameter As identified and suggested by stsp, with the previous commit, 'strip_comments' is now always set thus no longer needed. ok stsp@

got: use timestamp and emptiness to validate log message As suggested by naddy: consider commit log messages valid provided the temp file time stamp has changed and the file is not empty. This heuristic provides the desired behaviour (i.e., reusing cherrypicked/backed-out log messages) that's currently provided but is simpler to grok. Improved by and ok stsp@
