A formatted error is not a string containing ANSI escape sequences because 1.
the output may be differently colored inside "hint", 2. the caller might not
be accessible to ui.new_formatter().
We currently include the commits in `parent_mapping` and `abandoned`
in the set of commits to visit when rebasing descendants. The reason
was that we used to update branches and working copies when we visited
these commits. Since we started updating refs after rebasing all
commits, there's no need to even visit these commits.
We only use `new_commits` in `update_heads()`, so let's calculate it
there. It should also be more correct in case other commits were
created after we initialized `DescendantRebaser`.
Now that we only call `update_references()` in one place, there's no
reason to have it also update `heads_to_add` and `heads_to_remove`. By
moving it out of the function, we can consolidate the logic in one
place.
When `rebase_commit_with_options()` decides to abandons a commit, it
records the new parents in the `MutableRepo`, but it's currently the
caller's responsibility to remember to mark it as abandoned. Let's
move that logic into the function to reduce the risk of future bugs.
By adding the abandoned commit's parents to `parent_mapping`, we can
remove a bit more of the special handling of abandoned commitsin
`DescendantRebaser`.
Highlighting "{n}: " will help to follow error sources containing multi-line
messages. I'm going to make revset/template alias errors be formatted as plain
error chain.
In the normal case when we don't abandon a commit because it became
empty, then `CommitBuilder::write()` will have recorded the new commit
as a rewrite of the old commit. We don't need to do that again in
`rebase_one()`.
A subset of the state in `DescendantRebaser` now matches exactly what
`MutableRepo` already stores, so we can avoid copying that state and
have `DescendantRebaser` use it directly instead. Having a single
source of truth for the state will enable further simplifications and
improvements.
I'm going to make `DescendantRebaser` share the state about rewritten
commits with `MutableRepo` next. That means that the call to
`rebase_commit_with_options()` will update that state, which would
make this assertion fail. So let's move it a little earlier to avoid
that.
This is just to match `DescendantRebaser`, to make the next commit a
bit simpler. I think `MutableRepo` still has few enough fields that
just `abandoned` is clear enough. Maybe we'll move the three
rewrite-related fields into a new struct at some point.
With this patch, `MutableRepo` has the same tracking of rewritten
commits as `DescendantRebaser`, so we can simply pass that state into
`DescendantRebaser` when we create it. The next step is to remove the
state from `DescendantRebaser`.
It's inconsistent that some warnings have headings and some don't, and it seems
the choice is arbitrary. Let's unify the style. There are two exceptions:
1. continued line following labeled message,
2. "unrecognized response" followed by prompt.
The lowercase "warning: " is unified to "Warning: " as it is the jj's
convention afaik.
The _default() suffix could be dropped from these methods, but it's probably
better to break the existing codebase for the moment. Otherwise, the caller
might do writeln!(ui.warning(), "Warning: ..").
The existing .hint() method is renamed to .hint_no_heading() to clarify that
it's not the default choice to print a hint. I'll add .hint_default() later,
which will be the shorthand for .hint_with_heading("Hint: ").
This will be used to label "Error: " heading and content differently. I want
to see an error message in the default (white) color because it's easier to
read, but I still want to highlight the "Error: " heading.
We can achieve that without introducing new wrapper, but the resulting code
would look something like "writeln!(ui.error("Error: ")?, ..)?", and it would
get messier if the caller had to suppress io::Error.
I don't think we have any callers left that call
`record_rewritten_commit()` multiple times within a transaction and
expect it to result in divergence. I think we should consider it a bug
to do that.
When rebasing descendants, we generally move branches, child commits,
the working copy to the rewritten commit(s). However, we don't move
the working copy to the new rewritten commit (s) if the old commit had
been abandoned, and we don't move child commits if the rewriten was
divergent.
This patch aims to make it clearer that there's only one mapping from
old to new parents, and that is in `parent_mapping`. It does so by
merging the current `divergent` map into it, and makes the `divergent`
just a set instead. When finding the new parents for a child, we leave
the existing parent if it's in the set.
My longer-term goal is to move `parent_mapping`, `abandoned`, and
`divergent` into `MutableRepo` (maybe in a nested struct), so we can
do some transformations on descendants as we rebase them. By having
the state in a single place (not moving it from `MutableRepo` to
`DescendantRebaser` as we currently do), I hope it will be easier to
write a `MutableRepo::transform_descendants(callback)`, where the
callback gets a `CommitBuilder` and can change parents of the commit,
for example.
I'm going to introduce two changes: 1. indent commit summary, 2. colorize
output. The former can be implemented without using the templater API, but the
latter can't.
IntoTemplate will be cleaned up later. Perhaps, the lifetime parameter can be
removed at this point, but I'm planning to remove the IntoTemplate trait at all.
The type parameter 'C' will be removed from the Template trait, making it
represent a printable type or compiled template.
TemplateRenderer now holds Box<dyn _> template because it's unlikely that the
inner template type can be statically determined.
This fixes --change/--branch conflicts by making --change precede --branch. I
don't think this is the most obvious behavior, but it's the easiest workaround.
It could be moved before set_local_branch_target() to not update the local
branch, but it seemed weird that --change is silently ignored. This
inconsistency will be addressed later.
