Supported values are,
- `none` for no author information,
- `full` for both the name and email,
- `name` for just the name,
- `username` for username part of the email,
- (default) `email` (or any other gibberish for that matter) for the full email.
For stock merge-tools, having name -> args indirection makes sense. For
user-specific settings, it's simpler to set command name and arguments
together.
It might be a bit odd that "name with whitespace" can be parsed differently
depending on the existence of merge-tools."name with whitespace".
I keep calling it `underline` by mistake, so that probably means that
it's a more natural name for it. We haven't made a release of it yet,
so I didn't mention it in the changelog.
I didn't update all variables to also use `underline`, because I felt
that `underlined` was usually more natural there, plus crossterm calls
it `Attribute::Underlined`.
Add a new git.auto-local-branch config option. When set to false, a
remote-tracking branch imported from Git will not automatically create a
local branch target. This is implemented by a new GitSettings struct
that passes Git-related settings from UserSettings.
This behavior is particularly useful in a co-located jj and Git repo,
because a Git remote might have branches that are not of everyday
interest to the user, so it does not make sense to export them as local
branches in Git. E.g. https://github.com/gitster/git, the maintainer's
fork of Git, has 379 branches, most of which are topic branches kept
around for historical reasons, and Git developers wouldn't be expected
to have local branches for each remote-tracking branch.
I think of it more as style than a format, so using `style` in the
config key makes sense to me.
I didn't bother making upgrades easy by supporting the old name since
this was just released and only a few developers probably have it set.
The heading says it's going to explain aliases, but it doesn't, and
now that we've documented aliases in config.md, we probably don't need
to mention it in the tutorial.
The `git.fetch` and `git.push` keys can be used in the configuration file
for the default to use in `jj git fetch` and `jj git push` operations.
By defaut, "origin" is used in both cases.
- branches has the signature branches([needle]), meaning the needle is optional (branches() is equivalent to branches("")) and it matches all branches whose name contains needle as a substring
- remote_branches has the signature remote_branches([branch_needle[, remote_needle]]), meaning it can be called with no arguments, or one argument (in which case, it's similar to branches), or two arguments where the first argument matches branch names and the second argument matches remote names (similar to branches, remote_branches(), remote_branches("") and remote_branches("", "") are all equivalent)
Running `cargo fmt` while you're working in an editor means that you
may lose changes because of a race:
1. Your editor reads version X of file
2. `cargo fmt` reads version X
3. You save version Y from your editor
4. `cargo fmt` saves version Z, replacing Y
Since per-repo config may contain CLI settings, it must be visible to CLI.
Therefore, UserSettings::with_repo() -> RepoSettings isn't used, and its
implementation is nullified by this commit.
#616
After I changed `merge-tools.vimdiff.program` to `vim`, using
`vimdiff` as a diff editor wouldn't work at all.
Out of the box, it's still not a good experience. I included a
recommendation of a plugin to install to make it better.
It can be confusing that the lib crate is not tested when you run
`cargo test` without `--workspace` from the root directory. Also,
`nextest` is a non-obvious quality-of-life improvement, so let's
suggest that.
When importing `conflicts.md` into the Google repo, our internal tools
complained that it contained conflict markers. Similarly, if you ever
get an actual merge conflict in the file, the working-copy
snapshotting would parse our sample conflict markers here, forcing you
to work around it. Let's avoid that by indenting the conflict
markers. Hopefully readers will understand that the leading space is
not part of the markers.
When a workspace's working-copy commit is updated from another
workspace, the workspace becomes "stale". That means that the working
copy on disk doesn't represent the commit that the repo's view says it
should. In this state, we currently automatically it to the desired
commit next time the user runs any command in the workspace. That can
be undesirable e.g. if the user had a slow build or test run started
in the working copy. It can also be surprising that a checkout happens
when the user ran a seemingly readonly command like `jj status`.
This patch makes most commands instead error out if the working copy
is stale, and adds a `jj workspace update-stale` to update it. The
user can still run commands with `--no-commit-working-copy` in this
state (doing e.g. `jj --no-commit-working-copy rebase -r @ -d @--` is
another way of getting into the stale-working-copy state, by the way).
As dbarnett@ reported on #9, our default of `less`, combined with our
default of enabling color on TTYs, means that we print ANSI codes to
`less` by default. Unless the user has set e.g. `$LESS=R`, `less` is
going to escape those codes, resulting in garbage like this:
```
@ ESC[1;35mbb39c26a29feESC[0m ESC[1;33m(no email configured)ESC[0m ESC[1;36m2022-12-03....
```
I guess most of us didn't notice because we have something like
`$LESS=FRX` set.
This patch changes our default from `less` to `less -FRX`. Those are
the flags we're using for our internal hg distribution at Google, and
that has seemed quite uncontroversial.
I added a pointer from the changelog to the tracking issue while at
it.
It should be more reliable than parsing a command string into array.
Also updated some of the doc example to use array syntax. I don't think
"C:/Program Files" was parsed properly, but might work thanks to Windows
magic.
