I think we want to clean up git_path_merge_mode() as well. Perhaps we should call remove_merge_branch_state() instead of deleting the individual files ourselves here.

I wonder if t3430 would be a better home for this as it already has the setup necessary to create a failing merge. It would be good to add a test to check that "git rebase --skip" does not create an empty merge as well.

As with the other patch this should be
test_must_fail env FAKE_LINES=... git rebase ...
and the same for the test below. These tests show just how opaque the FAKE_LINES mechanism is - I've got no idea what it's doing. If it is not too much work it might be worth writing out the desired todo list to a file and using set_replace_editor. If you do that note that you can use tag names in the todo list you don't need to get the oid for each commit and you probably don't need to rebase the side branch, just the merge.

We already read and parse the done list in show_rebase_information() - is it possible to avoid doing that twice by setting this flag there?

It is unfortunate that we cannot fix this, as `git commit` with an
interrupted `pick` _would_ retain authorship, right? (Why is that so? Can
we really not use the same trick with `merge`s?)

Unfortunately not. Running "git commit" rather than "git rebase --continue" to commit a conflict resolution when rebasing always loses the authorship.

Authorship is retained when a `git cherry-pick` (what an unwieldy command
name for _such_ a common operation!) failed with merge conflicts and those
conflicts were resolved and the user then calls `git commit`, though.
Why can this technique not be used in interrupted `pick`/`merge` commands
of `git rebase`?

When we're rebasing the sequencer removes CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and instead writes the commit message to MERGE_MSG and the authorship to .git/rebase-merge/author-script. I think the reason for the different behavior is to avoid confusing things like `git status`. CHERRY_PICK_HEAD has been removed when rebasing since it was introduced in d7e5c0cbfb0 (Introduce CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, 2011-02-19). These days rebase supports --reset-author-date which means it cannot use the same mechanism as cherry-pick. Personally I'd much rather we tell people to use "git rebase --continue" to commit their conflict resolutions as using "git commit" has never worked if one wanted to preserve authorship and I think making it work would be a pain and probably fragile as I'm not sure how we'd ensure "git commit" knew it was committing a conflict resolution created by "git rebase" rather than one created by some other commit run while the rebase was stopped or by an exec command.

And why can we not teach `git commit` to use the author information
recorded in `.git/rebase-merge/author-script`, too, and teach `git reset
--hard` to delete it?

The reason is probably more that you can mix `git rebase` and `git
cherry-pick` (why does this common operation have such a long name,
again?). I actually do this quite often, I frequently even have something
like this in my rebase scripts:
exec git cherry-pick ..upstream/seen^{xx/something-something}^2

Right. But it can recapitulate cherry-pick's strategy in spirit. After
all, `git commit` had to be taught about an interrupted `git cherry-pick`
so that it _could_ pick up the necessary information and use that.
Likewise, `git commit` could be taught about an interrupted `git rebase`
and similarly pick up the author information from what `git rebase`
recorded.

Even I, the inventor of `git rebase -i`, have run afoul of this authorship
resetting on more than a dozen occasions.
This is proof enough for me that Git is unnecessarily confusing (no big
revelation there, right? Git earned that reputation very effortlessly, not
only in this particular scenario).
I'd rather like this usability problem to be fixed, even if it is a pain.
If the pain stems from the way the source code is organized, well, then
maybe this hints at the need to clean up a little?

If the user passes "--committer-date-is-author-date" then we write the author-script when stopping for an unconflicted edit command. However if the user runs "git commit" rather than "git commit --amend" we do not want to use that script because they are creating a new commit. That means that "git commit" cannot simply use the author-script if it exists. I expect we could read all of the rebase state to figure out what to do but I think it is a much simpler UI to say that the user should run "git rebase --continue" unless the user is creating a new commit. Otherwise in a world where "git commit" knows about the author script the user has to figure out whether or not they need to pass "--amend" when running "git commit". If they're committing a conflict resolution for a normal pick they should run "git commit". However if they are committing a conflict resolution for a fixup then they need to add "--amend". If "git commit" starts deciding whether to amend or not to avoid the user having to remember that is even more confusing because it is behaving differently during a rebase compared to any other time.

I think it's confusing because "git commit" tries to do too much and that it was a mistake to allow merge conflicts to be committed by "git commit" rather than "git <cmd> --continue". I believe the reason "git commit" allows conflict resolutions to be committed is historical and that "git merge --continue" was a later addition. Originally "git commit" was the only way to conclude a conflicted merge. Arguably that's not too bad for a merge or a single cherry-pick but I'd argue it would be much less confusing if "git commit" refused to run when it looked like the user was committing a conflict resolution and told them to run "git <cmd> --continue" instead.

The sequencer could certainly use a clean up but I fear it would be a huge time sink for both the patch author and the reviewer.

Sounds good. It is a shame that the parsing here is not better integrated with the sequencer. I think that would be a much bigger task though. The patch looks good and is definitely an improvement on the status quo for the user.
I was going to ask about a test but it looks like one of the tests added in the next patch checks that we abbreviate "merge -C <oid>". It would be worth mentioning that in the commit message.
Thanks
