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).
It's been a lot of work, but now we're finally able to remove the
`Evolution` state! `jj obslog` still works as before (it just walks
the predecessor pointers).
The removal of hidden heads was just there to help with the transition
away from evolution (#32). Now that we no longer depend on evolution
for removing old heads, we can remove the hack.
I recently made the CLI remove hidden heads when a transaction is
committed (38474a9). Let's move that to `Transaction::commit()`, so
the library crate becomes more similar to how the CLI behaves and more
similar to our evolution-less future (#32).
I've wanted the API to look like this for a while. It seems like a
good API to me. It means that the caller won't have to reload the repo
after committing. The cost seems relatively small. It involves copying
potentially a lot of data in memory (at least the View object), but it
shouldn't involve reading from disk or any other processing. To reduce
the amount of data to copy, it may be worth switching to persistent
data types. I've also wanted to do that for the copying we do when
start a transaction.
I couldn't measure any slowdown caused by this change.
This is yet another step towards making the `View` types
simpler. Perhaps we eventually won't need to wrap the types returned
from the `OpStore` at all.
It can be useful to write an operation to the `OpStore` without also
making it visible when you load the repo. I had planned to add that
functionality at least for hooks, so the hooks can be run commands
with `jj --at-op=<operation>` and decide whether to publish the
operation. However, the immediate goal is to let us rewrite
`op_heads_store::merge_op_heads()` to use the usual `Transaction`
API. That needs to be able to just write the operation without
publishing it, since the publishing step takes a long, which
`op_heads_store::merge_op_heads()` (its caller, actually) has already
taken.
I want to keep the index updated within the transaction. I tried doing
that by adding a `trait Index`, implemented by `ReadonlyIndex` and
`MutableIndex`. However, `ReadonlyRepo::index` is of type
`Mutex<Option<Arc<IndexFile>>>` (because it is lazily initialized),
and we cannot get a `&dyn Index` that lives long enough to be returned
from a `Repo::index()` from that. It seems the best solution is to
instead create an `Index` enum (instead of a trait), with one readonly
and one mutable variant. This commit starts the migration to that
design by replacing the `Repo` trait by an enum. I never intended for
there there to be more implementations of `Repo` than `ReadonlyRepo`
and `MutableRepo` anyway.
We want to be able to be able to do fast `.contains()` checks on the
result, so `Iterator` was a bad type. We probably should hide the
exact type (currently `HashSet` for both readonly and mutable views),
but we can do that later. I actually thought I'd want to use
`.contains()` for indiciting public-phase commits in the log output,
but of course want to also indicate ancestors as public. This still
seem like a step (mostly) in the right direction.
I'm preparing to publish an early version before someone takes the
name(s) on crates.io. "jj" has been taken by a seemingly useless
project, but "jujube" and "jujube-lib" are still available, so let's
use those.
