The `TreeStateError` type is specific to the current local-disk
working-copy backend, so it should not be part of the generic
working-copy interface I'm trying to create.
Summary: Workspaces are most useful to test different versions (commits) of
the tree within the same repository, but in many cases you want to check out a
specific commit within a workspace.
Make that trivial with a `--revision` option which will be used as the basis
for the new workspace. If no `-r` option is given, then the previous behavior
applies: the workspace is created with a working copy commit created on top of
the current working copy commit's parent.

Before this patch, it was an error to run `jj config set --user foo
'[1]'` twice. But it's only been broken since the previous commit
because '[1]' was interpreted as a string before then.
Now we have a separate map for "git" tracking remote, we can always preserve
the last imported/exported git_refs. The option to restore git-tracking refs
has been removed. Perhaps, --what can be reorganized as --local and --remote
<NAME>.
The commit backend at Google is cloud-based (and so are the other
backends); it reads and writes commits from/to a server, which stores
them in a database. That makes latency much higher than for disk-based
backends. To reduce the latency, we have a local daemon process that
caches and prefetches objects. There are still many cases where
latency is high, such as when diffing two uncached commits. We can
improve that by changing some of our (jj's) algorithms to read many
objects concurrently from the backend. In the case of tree-diffing, we
can fetch one level (depth) of the tree at a time. There are several
ways of doing that:
* Make the backend methods `async`
* Use many threads for reading from the backend
* Add backend methods for batch reading
I don't think we typically need CPU parallelism, so it's wasteful to
have hundreds of threads running in order to fetch hundreds of objects
in parallel (especially when using a synchronous backend like the Git
backend). Batching would work well for the tree-diffing case, but it's
not as composable as `async`. For example, if we wanted to fetch some
commits at the same time as we were doing a diff, it's hard to see how
to do that with batching. Using async seems like our best bet.
I didn't make the backend interface's write functions async because
writes are already async with the daemon we have at Google. That
daemon will hash the object and immediately return, and then send the
object to the server in the background. I think any cloud-based
solution will need a similar daemon process. However, we may need to
reconsider this if/when jj gets used on a server with a custom backend
that writes directly to a database (i.e. no async daemon in between).
I've tried to measure the performance impact. That's the largest
difference I've been able to measure was on `jj diff
--ignore-working-copy -s --from v5.0 --to v6.0` in the Linux repo,
which increases from 749 ms to 773 ms (3.3%). In most cases I've
tested, there's no measurable difference. I've tried diffing from the
root commit, as well as `jj --ignore-working-copy log --no-graph -r
'::v3.0 & author(torvalds)' -T 'commit_id ++ "\n"'` (to test a
commit-heavy load).
Before this patch, when updating to a commit that has a file that's
currently an ignored file on disk, jj would crash. After this patch,
we instead leave the conflicting files or directories on disk. We
print a helpful message about how to inspect the differences between
the intended working copy and the actual working copy, and how to
discard the unintended changes.
Closes#976.
On my Debian laptop, openssl_init() takes ~30ms to load the default CA
certificates serialized in PEM format, and the cost is added to each jj
invocation. This change saves 20s (of 50s) on my machine.

It's about time we make the working copy a pluggable backend like we
have for the other storage. We will use it at Google for at least two
reasons:
* To support our virtual file system. That will be a completely
separate working copy backend, which will interact with the virtual
file system to update and snapshot the working copy.
* On local disk, we need to tell our build system where to find the
paths that are not in the sparse patterns. We plan to do that by
wrapping the standard local working copy backend (the one moved in
this commit), writing a symlink that points to the mainline commit
where the "background" files can be read from.
Let's start by renaming the exising implementation to
`local_working_copy`.
I've added a boolean flag to the store to ensure that the migration never runs
more than once after the view gets "op restore"-d. I'll probably reorganize the
branches structure to support non-tracking branches later, but updating the
storage format in a single commit would be too involved.
If jj is downgraded, these "git" remote refs would be exported to the Git repo.
Users might have to remove them manually.
I have used the tree-level conflict format for several weeks without
problem (after the fix in 51b5d168ae). Now - right after the 0.10.0
release - seems like a good time to enable the config by default.
I enabled the config in our default configs in the CLI crate to reduce
impact on tests (compared to changing the default in `settings.rs`).
As we can set HEAD to an arbitrary ref by using .reference_symbolic(), we don't
have to manage a ref that can also be valid as a branch name.
Fixes#1495
I'll add a workaround for the root parent issue #1495 there. We can pass in
the wc parent id instead of the wc_commit object, but we might want to use
wc_commit.id() to generate a unique placeholder ref name.
While debugging git issues, I often ended up creating a deadlock by adding
debug prints. It's also not obvious that git::export_refs() works even if the
git_repo() has already been locked, whereas git::import_refs() wouldn't. Let's
consolidate lock handling to the backend implementation.
Apparently, it gets too verbose if the remote history is actively rewritten.
Let's summarize the output for now. The plan is to show the list of moved refs
instead of the full list of abandoned commits.
The codespell GitHub action fails because of the typo. I don't know
why it started failing now. The comment is 8 months old and the
codespell action hasn't been updated in 5 months.
The problem is that the first non-working-copy commit moves the unborn current
branch to that commit, but jj doesn't "export" the moved branch. Therefore,
the next jj invocation notices the "external" ref change, which was actually
made by jj.
I'm not sure why we play nice by setting the "current" HEAD, but I *think* it's
okay to set the "new" HEAD and reset to the same commit to clear Git index.
This will probably help to understand why you've got conflicts after fetching.
Maybe we can also report changed local refs.
I think the stats should be redirected to stderr, but we have many other similar
messages printed to stdout. I'll probably fix them all at once later.
I think most users who change the set of immutable heads away from
`trunk() | tags()` are going to also want to change the default log
revset to include the newly mutable commit and to exclude the newly
immutable commits. So let's update the default log revset to use
`immutable_heads()` instead.
`test_templater` changed because we have overridden the set of
immutable commits there so `jj log` now includes the remote branch.
`jj split` with no arguments operates interactively, but I am nonetheless constantly running `jj split -i` because I expect an `--interactive` flag to exist for consistency.
However, `jj split <paths>` before this commit always operates non-interactively, so this commit has the nice practical effect that you can restrict your interactive splitting to a certain set of paths.
All non-test callers already have a `Merge` object, so let's pass that
instead. We thereby simplify the callers a little, and we enforce the
"adds.len() == removes.len() + 1" constraint in the type.
