t3404: rebase -i: demonstrate short SHA-1 collision
The 'todo' sheet for interactive rebase shows abbreviated SHA-1's and then performs its operations upon those shortened values. This can lead to an abort if the SHA-1 of a reworded or edited commit is no longer unique within the abbreviated SHA-1 space and a subsequent SHA-1 in the todo list has the same abbreviated value. For example: edit f00dfad first pick badbeef second If, after editing, the new SHA-1 of "first" also has prefix badbeef, then the subsequent 'pick badbeef second' will fail since badbeef is no longer a unique SHA-1 abbreviation: error: short SHA1 badbeef is ambiguous. fatal: Needed a single revision Invalid commit name: badbeef Demonstrate this problem with a couple of specially crafted commits which initially have distinct abbreviated SHA-1's, but for which the abbreviated SHA-1's collide after a simple rewording of the first commit's message.
