It's unusual for the current commit to have descendants, but it can
happen. In particular, it can easily happen when you run `jj new`. You
probably don't want to abandon it in those cases.
The library crate shouldn't look up the user's `$HOME` directory
(maybe the library is used by a server process), so let's have the
caller pass it into the library crate instead.
We no longer need the commit ID, so we shouldn't make the callers pass
it. This lets us simplify several tests, because they no longer to
create commits just to check out a tree in the working copy.
We used to use the value to detect races, but we use the tree ID and
the operation ID these days, so we don't need the commit ID.
By changing this, we can avoid creating some commit IDs in tests,
which is why I tackled this issue now.
There are only two callers of `LockedWorkingCopy::check_out()`. One is
in `commands.rs`. That caller already checks after taking the lock
that the old commit ID is as expected. The other caller is
`WorkingCopy::check_out()`. We can simply move the check to that level
since it's the only caller that cares now.
We resolve checkouts in favor of the first-committed operation (which
is more likely to have managed to update the working copy). The test
case has been flaky on GitHub lately. I've run it 1000 times on my
machine without failure. I don't know if GitHub's machines are just
faster in some way (SSD, maybe) that makes them finish the two
operations in the test in the same millisecond. Let's add a
1-millisecond sleep to see if that helps. If it doesn't, then maybe
the issue is that the clock has lower precision (or their clocks can
go backwards?).
`LockedWorkingCopy::discard()` shouldn't result in changes to the
on-disk state, but `LockedWorkingCopy::check_out()` may have already
written a state file, which is surprising. The changes also remain in
memory, which is also surprising. Let's fix both of those issues.
One of the .gitignore tests writes a tree from the working copy
twice. However, it discards the `LockedWorkingCopy` instance after the
first write, so the second write shouldn't really see the changes from
the first write. It does see them because we don't clear them in
memory (and we also surprisingly write them to disk). I'm about to fix
that, so the test needs to be fixed first.
Most tests need a repo but don't need a working copy. Let's have a
function for setting up a test repo. But first, let's free up the name
`init_repo()` by renaming it to `init_workspace()` (which is also more
accurate).
As part of creating a new repository, we create an open commit on top
of the root and set that as the current checkout. Now that we have
support for multiple checkouts in the model, we also have support for
zero checkouts, which means we don't need to create that commit on top
of the root when creating the repo. We can therefore move out of
`ReadonlyRepo`'s initialization code and let `Workspace` instead take
care of it. A user-visible effect of this change is that we now create
one operation for initilizing the repo and another one for checking
out the root commit. That seems fine, and will be consistent with the
additional operation we will create when adding further workspaces.
Because we record each workspace's checkout in the repo view, we can
-- unlike other VCSs -- let the user refer to any workspace's checkout
in revsets. This patch adds syntax for that, so you can show the
contents of the checkout in workspace "foo" with `jj show foo@`. That
won't automatically commit that workspace's working copy, however.
When checking out a new commit, we look at the old checkout to see if
it's empty so we should abandon it. We current use the default
workspace's checkout. We need to respect the workspace ID we're given
in `MutableRepo::check_out()`, and we need to be able to deal with
that workspace not existing yet (i.e. this being the first checkout in
that workspace).
The `.jj/` directory contains information about two distinct parts:
the repo and the working copy. Most subdirectories are related to the
repo; only `.jj/working_copy/` is about the working copy. Let's move
the repo-related bits into a new `.jj/repo/` subdirectory. That makes
it clearer that they're related to the repo. It will probably also be
easier to manage when we have support for multiple workspaces backed
by a single repo.
The `DescendantRebaser` was designed to help with rebasing in two
different use cases: 1) after regular rewriting of commits where the
change ID is preserved, and 2) after importing moved branches from
other repo (e.g. backing Git repo or remote). Many of the tests are
for the second use case, such as where a branch was moved
forward. However, I just noticed that there's a pretty common scenario
from the first use case that is not supported.
Let's say you have this history:
```
D
|
C C'
|/
B B'
|/
A
```
Here we want C' to be rebased onto B' and then D to be rebased onto
C''. However, because of the support for moving branches forward, we
would not rebase commits that were already rewritten, such as C' here
(see affected tests for details), which resulted in D getting rebased
onto C', and both B and B' remaining visible.
I think I was thinking when I designed it that it would be nice if you
could just tell `DescendantRebaser` that any descendants of a commit
should be moved forward. That may be useful, but I don't think we'll
want that for the general case of a branch moving forward. Perhaps
we'll want to make it configurable which branches it should happen
for. Either way, the way it was coded by not rebasing already
rewritten commits did not work for the case above. We may be able to
handle both cases better by considering each rewrite separately
instead of all destinations at once. For now, however, I've decided to
keep it simple, so I'm fixing the case above by sacrificing some of
the potentially useful functionality for moving branches forward.
Another fix necessary for the scenario shown above was to make sure we
always rebase C' before D. Before this patch, that depended on the
order in the index. This patch fixes that by modifying the topological
order to take rewrites into account, making D depend not only on C but
also on C'. (I suppose you could instead say that C depends on both B
and C'; I don't know if that'd make a difference.)
Despite what the documentation said, we don't clear the record of
rewritten and abandoned commits at the end. This change fixes that,
and adds a test showing that it's possible to call
`MutableRepo::rebase_descendants()` multiple times.
When there are concurrent operations that want to update the working
copy, it's useful to know which operation was the last to successfully
update the working copy. That can help use decide how to resolve a
mismatch between the repo view's record and the working copy's
record. If we detect such a difference, we can look at the working
copy's operation ID to see if it was updated by an operation before or
after we loaded the repo.
If the working copy's record says that it was updated at operation A
and we have loaded the repo at operation B (after A), we know that the
working copy is stale, so we can automatically update it (or tell the
user to run some command to update it if we think that's more
user-friendly).
Conversely, if we have loaded the repo at operation A and the working
copy's record says that it was updated at operation B, we know that
there was some concurrent operation that updated it. We can then
decide to print a warning telling the user that we skipped updating
because of the conflict. We already have logic for not updating the
working copy if the repo is loaded at an earlier operation, but maybe
we can drop that if we record the operation in the working copy (as
this patch does).
`WorkingCopy::check_out()` currently fails if the commit recorded on
disk has changed since it was last read. It fails with a "concurrent
checkout" error. That usually works well in practice, but one can
imagine cases where it's not correct. For an example where the current
behavior is wrong, consider this sequence of events:
1. Process A loads the repo and working copy.
2. Process B loads the repo at operation A. It has not loaded the
working copy yet.
3. Process A writes an operation and updates the working copy.
4. Process B loads the working copy and sees that it is checked out
to the commit process B set it to. We don't currently have any
checks that the working copy commit matches the view's checkout
(though I plan to add that).
5. Process B finishes its operation (which is now divergent with the
operation written by process A). It updates the working copy to
the checkout set in the repo view by process B. There's no data
loss here, but the behavior is surprising because we would usually
tell the user that we detected a concurrent update to the working
copy.
We should instead check that the working copy's commit on disk matches
what the previous repo view said, i.e. the view at the start of the
operation we just committed. This patch does that by having the caller
pass in the expected old commit ID.
We already have two usecases that can be modeled as updating the
`TreeState` without touching the working copy:
1. `jj untrack` can be implemented as removing paths from the tree
object and then doing a reset of the working copy state.
2. Importing Git HEAD when sharing the working copy with a Git repo.
This patch adds that functionality to `TreeState`.
This patch changes the interface for making changes to the working
copy by replacing `write_tree()` and `untrack()` by a single
`start_mutation()` method. The two functions now live on the returned
`LockedWorkingCopy` object instead. That is more flexible because the
caller can make multiple changes while the working copy is locked. It
also helps us reduce the risk of buggy callers that read the commit ID
before taking the lock, because we can now make it accessible only on
`LockedWorkingCopy`.
`WorkingCopy::current_commit()` has been there from the beginning. It
has made less sense since we made the repo view keep track of the
current checkout. Let's remove it.
