I made import_refs() not preserve commits referenced by remote branches at
520f692a46 "git: on import_refs(), don't preserve old branches referenced by
remote refs." The idea is that remote branches are weak, and commits referenced
by these refs can be freely rewritten by future local changes without moving
the refs. I don't think that's wrong, but 520f692a46 also made "new" remote
changes be abandoned by old remote refs. This problem occurs only when
git.auto-local-branch is off.
I think there are two ways to fix the problem:
a. pin non-tracking remote branches just like local refs
b. pin newly fetched refs in addition to local refs
This patch implements (b) because it's simpler and more obvious that the
fetched commits would never be abandoned immediately.
This add support for custom `jj` binaries to use custom working-copy
backends. It works in the same way as with the other backends, i.e. we
write a `.jj/working_copy/type` file when the working copy is
initialized, and then we let that file control which implementation to
use (see previous commit).
I included an example of a (useless) working-copy implementation. I
hope we can figure out a way to test the examples some day.
This makes `Workspace::load()` look a new `.jj/working_copy/type` file
in order to load the right working copy implementation, just like
`Repo::load()` picks the right backends based on `.jj/store/type`,
`.jj/op_store/type`, etc. We don't write the file yet, and we don't
have a way of adding alternative working copy implementations, so it
will always be `LocalWorkingCopy` for now.
Our internal working copy implementations at Google will need the
commit so they can walk history backwards until they get to a "public"
commit. They'll then use that to tell build tools and virtual file
systems to present that as a base.
I'm not sure if we'll need to update `reset()` too. It's currently
only used by `jj untrack`, which doesn't change the commit's parent,
so it wouldn't affect any history walks.
`ReadonlyRepo::init()` takes callbacks for initializing each kind of
backend. We called these things like `op_store_initializer`. I found
that confusing because it is not a `OpStoreFactory` (which is for
loading an existing backend). This patch tries to clarify that by
renaming the arguments and adding types for each kind of callback
function.
The state field isn't saved yet. git import/export code paths are migrated,
but new tracking state is always calculated based on git.auto-local-branch
setting. So the tracking state is effectively a global flag.
As we don't know whether the existing remote branches have been merged in to
local branches, we assume that remote branches are "tracking" so long as the
local counterparts exist. This means existing locally-deleted branch won't
be pushed without re-tracking it. I think it's rare to leave locally-deleted
branches for long. For "git.auto-local-branch = false" setup, users might have
to untrack branches if they've manually "merged" remote branches and want to
continue that workflow. I considered using git.auto-local-branch setting in the
migration path, but I don't think that would give a better result. The setting
may be toggled after the branches got merged, and I'm planning to change it
default off for better Git interop.
Implementation-wise, the state enum can be a simple bool. It's enum just
because I originally considered to pack "forgotten" concept into it. I have
no idea which will be better for future extension.
It's going to be easier to define a `LockedWorkingCopy` trait if it
doesn't need to borrow from `WorkingCopy`, so let's remove the
reference we currently have and have
`LockedLocalWorkingCopy::finish()` return the new `LocalWorkingCopy`
instead.
I think the main disadvantage is that we now have to remember to
replace the old `LocalWorkingCopy` instance by the new one, whereas
the compiler would remind us before this commit. We could make
`start_modification()` take an owned `self`, but that would be a bit
annoying to work with when we have the instance stored in a field.
I'm about to make `LockedLocalWorkingCopy` not borrow from
`LocalWorkingCopy`. That will make it easier to forget to update any
`LocalWorkingCopy` variables when the modifications have been
committed. This patch introduces a wrapper around
`LockedLocalWorkingCopy` to help prevent that.
Thanks to Yuya for the suggestion.
`LocalWorkingCopy::check_out()` can be expressed using the planned
`WorkingCopy` trait, so it doesn't need to be in the trait itself
`WorkingCopy`. I wasn't sure if I should make it a free function in
`working_copy`, but I ended up moving it onto `Workspace`.
Since set_remote_branch_target() is called while merging refs, its tracking
state shouldn't be reinitialized. The other callers are migrated to new setter
to keep the story simple.
This isn't important, but I'm going to change remote_targets to store RemoteRef
instead of RefTarget, so I went ahead and change the other field types as well.
There's a subtle behavior change. Unlike the original remove_remote_branch(),
remote_views entry is not discarded when the branches map becomes empty. The
reasoning here is that the remote view can be added/removed when the remote
is added/removed respectively, though that's not implemented yet. Since the
serialized data cannot represent an empty remote, such view may generate
non-unique content hash.
get_branch() would need to reconstruct the remote_targets map if we migrate
the underlying data structure to per-remote views. Let's remove the method as
it is only used in tests.
It seems pretty clear from the context. Turns out we only use the
function in a test case. Maybe we don't even need it. It's easy to
provide it, though.
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.
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.
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 ran into a bug the other day where `jj status` said there was a
conflict in a file but there were no conflict markers in the working
copy. The commit was created when I squashed a conflict resolution
into the commit's parent. The rebased child commit then ended up in
this state. I.e., it looked something like this before squashing:
```
C (no conflict)
|
| B conflict
|/
A conflict
```
The conflict in B was different from the conflict in A. When I
squashed in C, jj would try to resolve the conflicts by first creating
a 7-way conflict (3 from A, 3 from B, 1 from C). Because of the exact
content-level changes, the 7-way conflict couldn't be automatically
resolved by `files::merge()` (the way it currently works
anyway). However, after simplifying the conflict, it could be
resolved. Because `MergedTree::merge()` does another round of conflict
simplification of the result at the end of the function, it was the
simplifed version that actually got stored in the commit. So when
inspecting the conflict later (e.g. in the working copy, as I did), it
could be automatically resolved.
I think there are at least two ways to solve this. One is to call
`merge_trees()` again after calling `tree.simplify()` in
`MergedTree::merge()`. However, I think it would only matter in the
case of content-level conflicts. Therefore, it seems better to make
the content-level resolution solve this case to start with. I've done
that by simplifying the conflict before passing it into
`files::merge()`. We could even do the fix in `files::merge()`, but
doing it before calling it has the advantage that we can avoid reading
some unchanged content from the backend.
I don't think the backend should matter for any of these tests, so
let's test with only one, and let's make that the strictest one - the
new test backend.
This reduces the number of tests by 74 (from 974 to 900), but saves no
measurable run time.
Only tests dealing with Git submodules care about the backend type.
Switching the tests to use the test backend also uncovered another bug
in `MergedTree`, so I fixed that too. The bug only happens with legacy
trees (path-level conflicts) and backends that care about the conflict
path, so it wouldn't happen with Git backends, and it wouldn't happen
at Google either (because we use tree-level conflicts).
I don't think there's any reason to use the local backend in tests
instead of using the stricter test backend.
I think we should generally use the test backend in tests and only use
the local backend or git backend when there's a particular reason to
do so (such as in `test_bad_locking` where the on-disk directory
structure matters). But this patch only deals with the simpler cases
where we were only testing with the local backend.
This fixes a bug where we used the parent directory's path when trying
read trees and files for a child entry. Many tests in
`test_merged_tree` fail after switching to the test backend there
without this fix/
It makes the call sites clearer if we pass the `TestRepoBackend` enum
instead of the boolean `use_git` value. It's also more extensible (I
plan to add another backend for tests).
I don't think there's much reason to run most tests with a `.git`
directory outside of `.jj`. I think it's just that way for historical
reasons. It's been that way since I added support for `.jj`-internal
repos in a8a9f7dedd.
The reason I want to switch is to make it a little easier to create
test repos for different backends. The problem with `.jj`-external git
repos is that they depend on an additional path.
I had to update `test_bad_locking.rs` to make the code merging
directories able handle missing directories on some side, because
git's loose objects result in directories getting created on one or
both sides.
I ran into some issues here when switching our tests to use
`.jj`-internal git repos. For example, the `std::fs::copy()` calls
started failing, which may be related to #2103. I think one problem is
that we could end up calling `merge_directories()` twice for the same
directory. This patch fixes that by deduping the paths we call with,
and makes the function assume that the output directory doesn't exist.
The main goal of this change is to enable tree-level conflict format, but it
also allows us to bulk-import commits on clone/init. I think a separate method
will help if we want to provide progress information, enable check for
.jjconflict entries under certain condition, etc.
Since git::import_refs() now depends on GitBackend type, it might be better to
remove git_repo from the function arguments.
Since e7e49527ef "git: ensure that remote branches never diverge", the last
known "refs/remotes" ref should be synced with the corresponding remote branch.
So we can always trust the branch@remote expression. We don't need "refs/tags"
lookup either since tags should have been imported by git::import_refs().
FWIW, I'm thinking of reorganizing view.git_refs() map as per-remote views.
It would be nice if we can get rid of revsets and template keywords exposing
low-level Git ref primitives.
Git doesn't have a root commit, so we should skip branches pointing to
it on export, just like we do with conflicted branches (which Git also
doesn't support).
Before this patch, the order would depend on the reason we failed to
export a ref, because we would add to the `failed_branches` list in
several different places. What's worse, when the export failed because
the branch was conflicted or had an invalid name (from Git's
perspective), it was non-deterministic because we iterated over a
HashSet. This patch fixes that by sorting at the end.
Note that we still want the `branches_to_update` map to be a
`BTreeMap` so we update branches in deterministic order. Otherwise the
error when trying to export both branches `main` and `main/sub` will
become non-deterministic.
Suppose "x::y" is the operator that defaults to "root()::visible_heads()"
respectively, "::" is identical to "all()". Since we've just changed the
behavior of "..y", ".." is now "root()..visible_heads()" meaning "~root()".
In `LockedWorkingCopy::drop()`, we panic if the caller had not called
`finish()`. IIRC, the idea was both to find bugs where we forgot to
call `finish()` and to prevent continuing with a modified
`WorkingCopy` instance. I don't think the former has been a problem in
practice. It has been a problem in practice to call `discard()` to
avoid the panic, though. To address that, we can make the `Drop`
implementation discard the changes (forcing a reload of the state if
the working copy is accessed again).
When restoring (`jj restore`) a 3-sided conflict from one tree into a
2-sided tree (or a resolved tree), we'll need to extend the size arity
of the target tree to that of the source tree. I had not considered
this case before. This patch relaxes the constraint in
`MergedTreeBuilder` to allow such cases. The additional trees are
based on empty trees with only the larger overrides in them.
Many (most?) callers of `Store::empty_tree_id()` really want a
`MergedTreeId`, so let's create a helper for that. It returns the
`Legacy` variant, which is what all current callers used. That should
be all we need since the two variants compare equal these days, and
since trees built based on the legacy variant can get promoted to the
new variant on write if the config is enabled.
I think most tests want a `MergedTree`, so this makes `create_tree()`
return that. I kept the old function as `create_single_tree()`. That's
now only used in `test_merge_trees` and `test_merged_tree`.
I also consistently imported the functions now, something I've
considered doing for a long time.
I made it simply fail on explicit fetch/import, and ignored on implicit import.
Since the error mode is predictable and less likely to occur. I don't think it
makes sense to implement warning propagation just for this.
Closes#1690.
With the already existing `MergedTree::resolve()` and all the recent
refactorings into `Merge<T>`, it's now very easy to add support for
3-way merging of `MergedTree` instances.
As #2165 showed, when diffing two `MergedTree::Legacy` variants (or
one of each variant) and re recurse into a subtree, we need to treat
that as a legacy tree too, so we expand `TreeValue::Conflict`s found
in the diff.
I'm going to change the parsing rule of name@remote, and @ will no longer be
included in a symbol identifier. I could add a separate test for remote symbols,
but I think it's better to write tests that cover both "x"@"y" and "x@y" paths.
An alternative name for it would be `arity()`, but `num_sides()`
probably more clearly says that it's not about the number of removes
or the total number of terms.
To support tree-level conflicts, we're going to need to update the
working copy from one `MergedTree` to another. We're going need to
store multiple tree ids in the `tree_state` file. This patch gets us
closer to that by getting the diff from `MergedTree`s`, even though we
assume that they are legacy trees for now, so we can write to the
single-tree `tree_state` file.
If we're going to be able to replace most instances of `Tree` by
`MergedTree`, we'll need to be able to diff two `MergedTree`s. This
implements support for that. The implementation copies a lot from the
diff iterator we have for `Tree`. I suspect we should be able to reuse
some of the code by introducing some traits that can then be
implemented by both `Tree` and `MergedTree`. I've left a TODO about
that.
`revset::parse()` already has a `RevsetWorkspaceContext` argument, so
I think it makes sense to put that and the other context arguments
into a larger `RevsetParseContext` object.
We resolve file paths into repo-relative paths while parsing the
revset expression, so I think it's consistent to also resolve which
workspace "@" refers to while parsing it. That means we won't need the
workspace context both while parsing and while resolving symbols.
In order to break things like `author("martinvonz@")` (thanks to @yuja
for catching this), I also changed the parsing of working-copy
expressions so they are not allowed to be
quoted. `author(martinvonz@)` will therefore be an error now. That
seems like a small improvement anyway, since we have recently talked
about making `root` and `[workspace]@` not parsed as other symbols.
Per discussion in #2107, I believe "exact" is preferred.
We can also change the default to exact match, but it doesn't always make
sense. Exact match would be useful for branches(), but not for description().
We could define default per predicate function, but I'm pretty sure I cannot
remember which one is which.
This commit replaces the functions `UserSettings::user_name_placeholder()`` and
`UserSettings::user_email_placeholder()` with `const` `&str`s to emphasize that
the placeholder strings must not be changed to support commits without
names or email addresses made before this change.
The syntax is slightly different from Mercurial. In Mercurial, a pattern must
be quoted like "<kind>:<needle>". In JJ, <kind> is a separate parsing node, and
it must not appear in a quoted string. This allows us to report unknown prefix
as an error.
There's another subtle behavior difference. In Mercurial, branch(unknown) is
an error, whereas our branches(literal:unknown) is resolved to an empty set.
I think erroring out doesn't make sense for JJ since branches() by default
performs substring matching, so its behavior is more like a filter.
The parser abuses DAG range syntax for now. It can be rewritten once we remove
the deprecated x:y range syntax.
`update_from_content()` already writes file content for each term of
an unresolved merge, so it seems consistent for it to also write the
file content for resolved merges. I think this should simplify further
refactoring for tree-level conflicts and for preserving the executable
bit.
Since `update_from_contents()` only works with file contents and not
the executable or other kinds of paths, I think it makes more sense
for it to deal with `FileId`s instead of `TreeValue`s.
I think I moved way too many functions onto `Merge<Option<TreeValue>>`
in 82883e648d. This effectively reverts almost all of that
commit. The `Merge<T>` type is simple container and it seems like it
should be at fairly low level in the dependency graph. By moving
functions off of it, we can get rid of the back-depdencies from the
`merge` module to the `conflict` module that I introduced when I moved
`Merge` to the `merge` module. I'm thinking the `conflict` module can
focus on materialized conflicts.
Per discussion in #2009. This behavior isn't affected by e7e49527ef "git:
ensure that remote branches never diverge", but it's subtle enough to write
a test.
Since `Conflict<T>` can also represent a non-conflict state (a single
term), `Merge<T>` seems like better name.
Thanks to @ilyagr for the suggestion in
https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/pull/1774#discussion_r1257547709
Sorry about the churn. It would have been better if I thought of this
name before I introduced `Conflict<T>`.
`.gitignores` in ignored directories should be ignored. Before this
commit, we would visit ignored directories like any others if there
were any ignored paths in them.
I've done a lot of preparation for this commit, but There's still a
bit of duplication between the new code and the existing code. I don't
mind improving it if anyone has suggestions. Otherwise I might end up
doing that when I get back to working on snapshotting tree-level
conflicts soon.
This fixes#1785.
It's currently the same code path for handling changes to tracked
paths in ignored directories as outside ignored directories, but I'm
about to change that.
I also updated the assertion in the test to compare all entries
instead of just the tree id, so it's easier to spot errors if it
fails.
It seemed awkward if merged PR is sometimes rendered as a first branch.
Instead of sorting edges in index order, let's build a HashSet only when
deduplication is needed.
It's currently a bit complicated to snapshot the working copy and
there's a lot of duplication in tests. This commit introduces a
function to simplify it. I made the function snapshot the working copy
and save the updated state. Some of the tests I changed previously
discarded the changes instead of saving them, but I think they all did
so because it was simpler. I left a few call sites unchanged because
they make concurrent changes.
This is breaking change. Old jj binary will panic if it sees a view saved by
new jj. Alternatively, we can store both new and legacy data for backward
compatibility.
This also lets us compare the resulting tree because the working copy
now exactly matches the tree (it used to be that the `.gitignore` file
wasn't initially snapshotted).
We don't seem to have any tests that our protection from undetected
changes caused by writes happening right after checkout, so let's add
one. The test case loops 100 times and each iteration fails slightly
more than 80% of the time on my machine (if I remove the protection in
`TreeState::update_file_state()`), so it seems quite good at
triggering the race.
I don't see any reason for these tests to differ depending on backend,
so let's avoid running them twice (there are probably lots of other
tests that we're also running with different backends for little
reason).
Copied from MergedTree::has_conflict(). I feel it's slightly better since
RefTarget "is" always a Conflict-based type. It could be inverted to
RefTarget::is_resolved(), but refs are usually resolved, and all callers
have special case for !is_resolved() state.
With `MergedTree`, we can iterate over conflicts by descending into
only the subdirectories that cannot be trivially resolved. We assume
that the trees have previously been resolved as much as possible, so
we don't attempt to resolve conflicts again.
This adds a function for resolving conflicts that can be automatically
resolved, i.e. like our current `merge_trees()` function. However, the
new function is written to merge an arbitrary number of trees and, in
case of unresolvable conflicts, to produce a `Conflict<TreeId>` as
result instead of writing path-level conflicts to the backend. Like
`merge_trees()`, it still leaves conflicts unresolved at the file
level if any hunks conflict, and it resolves paths that can be
trivially resolved even if there are other paths that do conflict.
In order to store conflicts in the commit, as conflicts between a set
of trees, we want to be able merge those trees on the fly. This
introduces a type for that. It has a `Merge(Conflict(Tree))` variant,
where the individual trees cannot have path-level conflicts. It also
has a `Legacy(Tree)` variant, which does allow path-level conflicts. I
think that should help us with the migration.
Alternatively, we can wrap BTreeMap<String, Option<RefTarget>> to flatten
Option<&Option<..>> internally, but doing that would be tedious. It would
also be unclear if map.remove(name) should construct an absent RefTarget if
the ref doesn't exist.
The next commit will change these maps to store Option<RefTarget> entries, but
None entries will still be omitted from the serialized data. Since ContentHash
should describe the serialized data, relying on the generic ContentHash would
cause future hash conflict where absent RefTarget entries will be preserved.
For example, ([remove], [None, add]) will be serialized as ([remove], [add]),
and deserialized to ([remove], [add, None]). If we add support for lossless
serialization, hash(([remove], [None, add])) should differ from the lossy one.
Summary: Unneeded with the MSRV bump. The other one
will have to wait until Rust 1.72.0

Since RefTarget will be reimplemented on top of Conflict<Option<CommitId>>,
we won't be able to simply return a slice of type &[CommitId]. These functions
are also renamed in order to disambiguate from Conflict::adds()/removes().
We saw a failure in `test_merge_views_git_heads()` in the GitHub CI,
but I wasn't able to reproduce it locally. Using the
`commit_transactions()` helper in the test should fix it.
It's named after Conflict::from_legacy_form(). If RefTarget is migrated to
new Conflict type, from_legacy_form([], [add]) will create a normal target,
and from_legacy_form([], []) will be equivalent to the current None target.
That's why this function isn't named as RefTarget::conflict().
