In many of these places, we don't need an owned value, so using a
reference means we don't force the caller to clone the value. I really
doubt it will have any noticeable impact on performance (I think these
are all once-per-repo paths); it's just a little simpler this way.
This moves the logic for handling the root commit when writing commits
from `CommitBuilder` into the individual backends. It always bothered
me a bit that the `commit::Commit` wrapper had a different idea of the
number of parents than the wrapped `backend::Commit` had.
With this change, the `LocalBackend` will now write the root commit in
the list of parents if it's there in the argument to
`write_commit()`. Note that root commit itself won't be written. The
main argument for not writing it is that we can then keep the fake
all-zeros hash for it. One argument for writing it, if we were to do
so, is that it would make the set of written objects consistent, so
any future processing of them (such as GC) doesn't have to know to
ignore the root commit in the list of parents.
We still treat the two backends the same, so the user won't be allowed
to create merges including the root commit even when using the
`LocalBackend`.
`wc_commit` seems clearer than `checkout` and not too much longer. I
considered `working_copy` but it was less clear (could be the path to
the working copy, or an instance of `WorkingCopy`). I also considered
`working_copy_commit`, but that seems a bit too long.
We depend on comparing the workspace root with the Git repo's path to
know if we're sharing the working copy with it. For that to work
reliably, we need the paths to be canonicalized, so that's what this
patch tries to do.
Most tests need a repo but don't need a working copy. Let's have a
function for setting up a test repo. But first, let's free up the name
`init_repo()` by renaming it to `init_workspace()` (which is also more
accurate).
The `.jj/` directory contains information about two distinct parts:
the repo and the working copy. Most subdirectories are related to the
repo; only `.jj/working_copy/` is about the working copy. Let's move
the repo-related bits into a new `.jj/repo/` subdirectory. That makes
it clearer that they're related to the repo. It will probably also be
easier to manage when we have support for multiple workspaces backed
by a single repo.
`ReadonlyRepo::init_*()` currently calls `WorkingCopy::init()`. In
order to remove that dependency, this patch wraps the
`ReadonlyRepo::init_*()` functions in new `Workspace` functions. A
later patch will have those functions call `WorkspaceCopy::init()`.`
The auto-rebasing of descendants doesn't work if you have an open
commit checked out, which means that you may still end up with orphans
in that case (though that's usually a short-lived problem since they
get rebased when you close the commit). I'm also about to make
branches update to successors, but that also doesn't work when the
branch is on a working copy commit that gets rewritten. To fix this
problem, I've decided to let the caller of `WorkingCopy::commit()`
responsible for the transaction.
I expect that some of the code that this change moves from the lib
crate to the cli crate will later move back into the lib crate in some
form.
There were some tests that discarded a transaction only because it
used to be easier to do that than to commit and reload the repo. We
get the new repo back when we commit the transaction these days, so
now it's often easier to commit the transaction instead.
I'm preparing to publish an early version before someone takes the
name(s) on crates.io. "jj" has been taken by a seemingly useless
project, but "jujube" and "jujube-lib" are still available, so let's
use those.
It's annoying to have to have the Git repo and Jujube repo in separate
directories. This commit adds `jj init --git`, which creates a new
Jujube repo with an empty, bare git repo in `.jj/git/`. Hopefully the
`jj git` subcommands will eventually provide enough functionality for
working with the Git repo that the user won't have to use Git commands
directly. If they still do, they can run them from inside `.jj/git/`,
or create a new worktree based on that bare repo.
The implementation is quite straight-forward. One thing to note is
that I made `.jj/store` support relative paths to the Git repo. That's
mostly so the Jujube repo can be moved around freely.
