There was a question on Discord about why using Difftastic wasn't working as the
diff tool. The root cause was putting `ui.diff.tool` in the wrong toml section,
when the `ui.` component actually refers to the `[ui]` section itself.
This reads kind of weirdly too because _immediately_ after this, the alternative
option of using the `merge-tools` section is suggested; except it uses `[merge-
tools.<name>]` which makes it immediately clear it's a section on its own.
This simply these two examples more consistent with each other, by using `[ui]`
instead of `ui.` to make it clear `ui.` is a top-level section.

The ExternalMergeTool struct has four 24-byte fields plus one bool. It could
be shrunk by dropping Vec/String capacity, but the resulting type would still
be bigger compared to the default Builtin variant.
The only thing we need from the `RepoLoader` is the `OpHeadsStore`, so we can
extract it in UnpublishedOperation::new instead of keeping the entire
`RepoLoader` around.
`NewRepoData` is just a container that holds data used to construct a
`ReadonlyRepo`. The `ReaonlyRepo` is always constructed before the
`UnpublishedOperation` is dropped, so we can simply construct the
`ReadonlyRepo` upfront and delete the `NewRepoData` type.
The custom Drop impl prevents us from moving members of UnpublishedOperation,
and is the reason why `NewRepoData` is wrapped in an `Option`. We don't use
custom Drop functions like this for debugging elsewhere in the codebase, and in
some ways #[must_use] provides better protection since it will typically cause
a compiler error if the UnpublishedOperation isn't used.
MutableRepo and CommitBuilder both define public (now crate-public) functions
which should only be called by each other. This commit adds documentation and
restricts visibility of these functions to the jj_lib crate. It might be even
better to move CommitBuilder to the same module as MutableRepo so that these
codependent functions can be private to the module to avoid misuse.
These comments are intended to make it easier for new developers to get up to
speed with the project. This is just a starting point... there are other types
and functions that could benefit from documentation.
There's no need to have a block of code at the beginning of the function to
cache the rewrite source id. We can simply check the necessary condition before
calling record_rewritten_commit.
This tweak makes the function a little easier to read since we don't check the
condition until we're ready to do the work.
This is something which should've been written down long ago. This is a follow-up upon
another question from Julia Evans in Discord.
Thank you again for asking such good questions.
I considered inlining tx.select_diff(), but that looked a bit cryptic because
the arguments orders are reasonably different. This thin wrapper will help
enforce the common interactive editing behavior.
This constructor has too many arguments enough to introduce a parameter struct,
which would be identical to the CommandHelper type. Let's simply inline it as
there are no external callers.
write!(ui.hint(), ..) error is suppressed because it seemed weird if the
configuration error had io::Error variant. The write error isn't important
anyway.
This moves the config loading closer to CLI args where --tool=<name> option
will be processed. The factory function are proxied through the command helper
so that the base_ignores can be attached there later.
I'm going to make them be loaded by caller, and these newtypes will provide
extra compile-time safety (plus nicer API to be added later.) The error types
will be cleaned up later patches.
This gets rid of the last UserSettings dependency from edit_diff_external().
I'm going to remove it from edit_diff() too, and let callers pass a
preconfigured MergeTool struct instead.
These changes will make it easier to add --tool=<name> argument #2575.
Because the snapshot directory is removed at the end of the function, it doesn't
make sense to enable watchman in it. The max_new_file_size parameter might be
somewhat useful, but it's unlikely that the temporary directory contains
gigantic node_modules tree for example. OTOH, the base_ignores matters since it
may contain common ignore patterns like *~.
This eliminates most of the UserSettings dependencies from this function.
I'm going to add string.len() method which will return a length in bytes. The
number of the UTF-8 code points is useless metrics, and strings here are often
ASCII bytes, so let's simply use byte indices in substr().
If the given index is not at a char boundary, it will be rounded. I considered
making it an error, but that would be annoying. I would want to see something
printed by author.name().substr() even if it contained latin characters.
I've extracted index normalization function which might be used by other string
methods. The remaining part of substr() is trivial, so inlined it.
Before, --tool=:builtin argument was ignored and the tool was loaded from
"ui.diff.tool" option. Since there is no single builtin diff format, :builtin
doesn't make sense here. Maybe we can translate ":<format>" to the internal
diff format instead, but that will also mean "ui.diff.tool" and ".format" can
be merged.
This partially reverts 409356fa5b "merge_tools: enable `:builtin` as default
diff/merge editor."
I'm going to split get_tool_config() to fix "diff --tool=:builtin", and it
doesn't make sense to duplicate get_tool_config_from_args() per backing
get_tool_config() functions.
