updates with triggers
- add a config option to enable using triggers in watchman

There's been a lot of questions about the subtle differences between
`..` and `::`. I hope these examples will help with that.
We should also add examples to the revset functions (e.g. `heads()` is
not obvious how it works), but that can come later.
`..` is shorthand for `root()..visible_head()`, for example. We don't
seem to explain that anywhere. I hope mentioning that will help
readers understand the relationship between the shorthands and the
full `x..y`, and also to see the correspondence between `..` and `::`
(in how their default left and right operands are the same).
I am currently not aware of any severe differences between the generated
markdown and `jj help`, though this could change if we look over the
text carefully or if we start using `clap` features we weren't using
before.
Still alias function shadows builtin function (of any arity) by name. This
allows to detect argument error as such, but might be a bit inconvenient if
user wants to overload heads() for example. If needed, maybe we can add some
config/revset syntax to import builtin function to alias namespace.
The functions table is keyed by name, not by (name, arity) pair. That's mainly
because std collections require keys to be Borrow, and a pair of borrowed
values is incompatible with owned pair. Another reason is it makes easy to look
up overloads by name.
Alias overloading could also be achieved by adding default parameters, but that
will complicate the implementation a bit more, and can't prevent shadowing of
0-ary immutable_heads().
Closes#2966
I just added "can be empty" since it seems obvious when it becomes empty if it
can be empty. AFAICT, the confusion in #3821 is whether or not "no parents"
falls back to root().
We can add a separate precedence/associativity table, but I think the ordered
list is good enough. Nullary :: and .. have no binding, but inserted after the
infix versions for brevity.
On Windows `code` works in the shell, but not when specified to jj, because the
executable is actually named `code.cmd`! This is a feature of Windows, where
certain file extensions (defined by the PATHEXT environment variable) are
automatically treated as executable and can have their extensions omitted.
Presumably, jj doesn't support this feature on Windows, though perhaps it
should. For now, avoid adding an explanation of PATHEXT so as to not clutter
things too much, and just suggest `code.cmd` on Windows. Most readers should be
able to put two and two together from there.
I feel like recommending people install Poetry via a package manager was
a mistake. Poetry only supports its latest version, and while newer
versions are sort-of backward-compatible, they print warnings in
different situations and have different bugs. Installing `pipx` via a
package manager, OTOH, works fine, and its older versions work fine.
Using Poetry 1.8+ allows us to use Poetry's new "non-package" mode,
which would no longer print warnings if the user does `poetry install`
instead of `poetry install --no-root`. It's likely that in newer
versions of Poetry, it will become an error.
I add them as aliases, since a user may instead choose to define `immutable_heads()`, for example, as `heads(immutable())`, and the define `immutable()` instead.
This revset correctly implements "reachability" from a set of source commits following both parent and child edges as far as they can go within a domain set. This type of 'bfs' query is currently impossible to express with existing revset functions.
When using `ui.color = "debug"`, changes in the output style
additionally include delimiters << and >>, as well as all active labels
at this point separated by ::. The output is otherwise unformatted and
the delimiters and labels inherit the style of the content they apply
to.
More tests will be added later as "branch list" templates.
In "log" template, we might want to see the number of "local" commits ahead
of any tracked remotes. It can be implemented later in a similar way (or as a
nested remote_refs list.)
We'll probably add binary comparison operators at some point, but this patch
also adds size_hint.zero() method. Otherwise, we'll have to write
"if(x.upper() && x.upper() == 0, ..)" to deal with None.
The resulting "branch list" template will look like:
```
separate(", ",
if(!ref.tracking_ahead_count().zero(),
if(ref.tracking_ahead_count().exact(),
"ahead by " ++ ref.tracking_ahead_count().exact() ++ " commits",
"ahead by at least " ++ ref.tracking_ahead_count().lower() ++ " commits")),
if(!ref.tracking_behind_count().zero(),
if(ref.tracking_behind_count().exact(),
"behind by " ++ ref.tracking_behind_count().exact() ++ " commits",
"behind by at least " ++ ref.tracking_behind_count().lower() ++ " commits")),
)
```
This is instead of https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/pull/3292, which would make
`diffedit3` built into `jj`. I still have some hope of eventually making
`diffedit3` into the default diff editor that is available without any
configuration, which probably requires building it into `jj`, but this may not
happen, and it wouldn't hurt to test `diffedit3` first. Some examples of
concerns (see also the discussion in that PR):
- It is only a guess on my part that this would make a good default. The editor
might not be polished enough, and most users are not used to 3-pane diff
editing. I think most users would like it if they tried it, but this might be
plain wrong.
- There are concerns about adding a heavyweight dependency on `jj`. While I
tried to make it as lightweight as possible, it still unavoidably includes a web
server.
- There may be ways to bundle `diffedit3` with `jj` without combining them in a
single binary.
I wanted to have a reference point for the built-in revsets,
but `jj config get revsets.log` doesn't turn anything up since
it has special handling for the legacy config key
`ui.default-revset`. So I had to dig into the source code of jj
to get it.
I think it might help others to be able to reason about revsets
to have the log default shown in the settings documentation.
I considered adding RefTarget template type, but some of the methods naturally
fit to RefName. For example, a conflicted branch name is decorated as "??", so
it makes sense to add branch.conflict() instead of branch.target().conflict().
I'm not pretty sure how many RefName methods we'll need to add to port the
current branch listing, but there will be .tracked(), .tracking_local_present(),
.ahead_by(), and .behind_by().
Since fileset/revset/template expressions are specified as command-line
arguments, it's sometimes convenient to use single quotes instead of double
quotes. Various scripting languages parse single-quoted strings in various ways,
but I choose the TOML rule because it's simple and practically useful. TOML is
our config language, so copying the TOML syntax would be less surprising than
borrowing it from another language.
https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/issues/188
While I like strict parsing, it's not uncommon that we have to deal with file
names containing spaces, and doubly-quoted strings such as '"Foo Bar"' look
ugly. So, this patch adds an exception that accepts top-level bare strings.
This parsing rule is specific to command arguments, and won't be enabled when
loading fileset aliases.
