Summary

Before this patch, if a user is rebasing a stack of commits and
hit a conflict in between and decided to drop that commit (the commit
which is being rebased but hit conflict) and pruned it, now what
hg rebase --continue does is: skip that dropped commit and move
on to rebase the next commit and gets confused here because wdir
has two parents which is because while we skipped that dropped
commit wdir had two parents and we didn't update that to one parent.

Changes in test file demonstrate the fixed behavior.

I think it's incorrect that rebase sets two parents while the merge is being resolved, but that's out of scope for this patch.

Should this be self.wctx.parents() to work with in-memory rebase?

Unrelated to the fix, we need better way to skip commits during rebasing. Pruning manually is not a good option, IIRC git rebase have a --skip flag.

Yeah, that's a good idea. We should also have --skip flag to skip the commit on which rebase got interrupted.

I will look into it.

Actually, doesn't this need to be wctx.setparents() (which you can do now that D7822 has been queued) in order to work with in-memory rebase? Maybe time to add a test case with in-memory rebase?

I think is would be simpler and sfare to prevent unrelated operation during rebase. If the user cannot prune here we won't have to deal with it. This woudl also apply to other operation that can alter the repository, like another rebase, amend or a pull. Starting using a unified and safe approach seems to provide more benefit with less chance of UI inconsistency.

I agree. We should disallow prune if an unfinished operation exists.

Okay, lets to in this direction then.
