The `--exec <cmd>` is documented as
Append "exec <cmd>" after each line creating a commit in the final
history.
...
If --autosquash is used, "exec" lines will not be appended for the
intermediate commits, and will only appear at the end of each
squash/fixup series.
Unfortunately, it would also add exec commands after non-pick
operations, such as 'no-op', which could be seen for example with
git rebase -i --exec true HEAD
todo_list_add_exec_commands() intent was to insert exec commands after
each logical pick, while trying to consider a chains of fixup and squash
commits to be part of the pick before it. So it would keep an 'insert'
boolean tracking if it had seen a pick or merge, but not write the exec
command until it saw the next non-fixup/squash command. Since that
would make it miss the final exec command, it had some code that would
check whether it still needed to insert one at the end, but instead of a
simple
if (insert)
it had a
if (insert || <condition that is always true>)
That's buggy; as per the docs, we should only add exec commands for
lines that create commits, i.e. only if insert is true. Fix the
conditional.
There was one testcase in the testsuite that we tweak for this change;
it was introduced in 54fd3243da ("rebase -i: reread the todo list if
`exec` touched it", 2017-04-26), and was merely testing that after an
exec had fired that the todo list would be re-read. The test at the
time would have worked given any revision at all, though it would only
work with 'HEAD' as a side-effect of this bug. Since we're fixing this
bug, choose something other than 'HEAD' for that test.
Finally, add a testcase that verifies when we have no commits to pick,
that we get no exec lines in the generated todo list.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
