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.
As I'm going to split branches into per-remote map, .get_branch(name) will need
to gather remote branches by name to construct remote_targets map. Let's instead
iterate local/remote branches separately. I also migrated diffing of the other
kinds of refs to filter out unchanged entries upfront.
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>.
As we now diff incoming git refs against our known remote branches, the problem
described in the comment no longer occurs. test_branch_forget_fetched_branch()
passes, and the inline comments in the test are still valid.
As we need to build a set of all branch names anyway, we can also put old/new
targets there. InvalidGitName is moved to caller since the diff function no
longer converts RefName to "refs/" string.
The idea is that the "remote" refs could have been "op restore"-d whereas
view.git_refs() will never be. The next commit will update known_remote_refs
to be constructed from the current remote branches.
Instead of building these lists in a single loop, we could load new git_refs
to the view first, and then build diffs of the remote refs. I considered that,
but I feel it would be a bit awkward to update refs before importing commits
to the view.
The "remote" refs are stored in BTreeMap since merging order should be stable.
As I'm going to add separate lists of changed git_refs/remote_refs, it'll
become a bit unclear which one we should check for reserved remotes. The
diff might also be reorganized as a list of (remote, name, kind, old_target,
new_target) where remote == "git" means the git-tracking branch. In this
data structure, the notion of reserved remote name would be lost.
I'm going to rewrite `TreeDiffIterator` to fetch one level (depth) of
the tree at a time and concurrently. One step towards that is to
convert the iterator to a `Stream`. I'd like to do that by making the
current `Iterator` implementation call the new `Stream`
implementation. However, we can't call `futures::executor::block_on()`
on a future that itself calls `futures::executor::block_on()` (as
`Store::read_tree()` does), so the first step is to bubble up the
async-ness a bit. This patch does that by fetching both sides of the
diff concurrently. That should give close to a 2x speedup on
high-latency backends. (It doesn't help with our backend at Google,
however, because we have a daemon process that does some speculative
prefetching that usually downloads the child trees anyway.)
`futures::stream::Stream::collect()` requires a collection that
implements `Default` and `Extend`, and I would like to to be able to
collect a stream of trees.
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).
Summary: Since 066032b6e6 was merged, the `nix flake check` build no longer
overrides the 'cargo test' profile explicitly, to save disk space. The CI seems
to be in a better spot. This will stem the tide for a while hopefully.
However, with that change in place, the `nix flake check` build was
essentially a redundant, nearly-identical copy of a normal `nix build` with no
differentiating features, except: `RUST_BACKTRACE` is set to 1.
Delete all this code, and remove it from the CI matrix, and instead just export
`RUST_BACKTRACE` on the `checkPhase` of the normal `nix build` instead, which is
functionally equivalent.
Also does some minor, no-functional-change touchups to `flake.nix` while I was
there (whitespace, etc.)

Summary: Just a small rework of the very top-level frontmatter. Now:
- Uses `<div>` to center things a little
- Adds top-level links to the new homepage, installation guide, and tutorial
- Reworks the disclaimer and 'Introduction' section. After all, a README should
first say what the project is! I think this reads much better.

This effectively undoes d8a313cdd4, which is no longer needed since
we just changed that error handling. It should make it easier to share
some of the current if/else blocks.
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.
I'm about to add handling of parent dirs that are existing ignored
files, so it's better to have it in one place. The only functional
difference should be that we now create parent directories for git
submodules. I don't think that matters.
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'm going to migrate "refs/heads/" branches to .remote_targets["git"]. This
commit will simplify the story as we won't have to exclude "refs/remotes/git/"
refs when diffing or renaming/removing remote.
Since both has_id() and resolve_prefix() do binary search, their costs are
practically the same. I think has_id() would complete with fewer ops, but such
level of optimization wouldn't be needed here. More importantly, this ensures
that unreachable commits aren't imported by GitBackend::read_commit().
One problematic scenario is that we have commits imported by old jj, and all
of their descendant commits are created by jj. Therefore import_head_commits()
wouldn't reach the old ancestor commits.
This change might bury a real bug, but I don't have a better alternative. Maybe
we can remove this hack after a couple of jj releases, and add a debug command
that imports all reachable Git commits from all historical heads.
Closes#2343
