Since fileset/revset/template expressions are specified as command-line
arguments, it's sometimes convenient to use single quotes instead of double
quotes. Various scripting languages parse single-quoted strings in various ways,
but I choose the TOML rule because it's simple and practically useful. TOML is
our config language, so copying the TOML syntax would be less surprising than
borrowing it from another language.

While I like strict parsing, it's not uncommon that we have to deal with file
names containing spaces, and doubly-quoted strings such as '"Foo Bar"' look
ugly. So, this patch adds an exception that accepts top-level bare strings.
This parsing rule is specific to command arguments, and won't be enabled when
loading fileset aliases.
Mercurial appears to resolve cwd-relative path first, so "glob:*.c" could be
parsed as "**/*.c" if cwd was literally "**". It wouldn't practically matter,
but isn't correct. Instead, jj's parser first splits glob into literal part
and pattern. That's mainly because we want to parse the user input texts into
type-safe objects, and (RepoPathBuf, glob::Pattern) pairs are the simplest
ones. The current parser can't handle patterns like "foo/*/.." (= "foo" ?),
and errors out. I believe this restriction is acceptable.
Unlike literal paths, the 'glob:' pattern anchors to the whole file path. I
don't think "prefix"-matching glob is useful, and making it the default would
be rather confusing.
The Pijul maintainer has opinions that I don't understand about how we
mention Pijul (they consider the current mentions offensive as
"bashing Pijul"). Let's just remove the references so we don't have to
deal with it. I think the references to Darcs we already had in most
of these places are sufficient.
If this doesn't work out, maybe we can try one of these:
a. fall back to bare file name if expression doesn't contain any operator-like
characters (e.g. "f(x" is an error, but "f x" can be parsed as bare string)
b. introduce command-line flag to opt in (e.g. -e FILESET)
c. introduce pattern prefix to opt in (e.g. set:FILESET)

This command checks not only whether Watchman works, but also whether
it's enabled in the config. Also, the output is easier to understand
than that of the other `jj debug watchman` commands.
It would be nice if `jj debug watchman` called `jj debug watchman
status`, but it's not trivial in `clap` to have a default subcommand.
Expose the information we now record, to allow changing the default "snapshot
working copy" message or to make snapshots more compact/less distracting in
the log
There are no more callers of parse_function_argument_to_string(), so it's
removed. This function was a thin wrapper of literal parser, and can be
easily reintroduced if needed.
This lets users use "large" revsets in commands such as `jj rebase`, without
needing the `all:` modifier.

This can be used to flatten nested "if()"s. It's not exactly the same as "case"
or "switch" expression, but works reasonably well in template. It's not uncommon
to show placeholder text in place of an empty content, and a nullish value
(e.g. empty string, list, option) is usually rendered as an empty text.
I think Option<Commit> is the simplest encoding of the log node.
The behavior of an Option type is closer to nullable types rather than the
Option in Rust. I don't think we would want to write opt.map(|x| x.f()) or
opt.unwrap().f(). We can of course add opt?.f() syntax, but it will be a short
for "if(opt, opt.f())"?
As discussed in #2900, the milliseconds are rarely useful, and it can
be confusing with different timezones because it makes harder to
compare timestamps.
I added an environment variable to control the timestamp in a
cross-platform way. I didn't document because it exists only for tests
(like `JJ_RANDOMNESS_SEED`).
Closes#2900
`jj rebase -r C -d A; rebase -s B -d C` is missing the second jj.
Although it would be cool if jj had syntax to chain commands like this, so I could write a "swap" alias.
Changes the formatter to accept not only existing color names (such as "red" or
"green") but also those in the form #rrggbb, where rr, gg, and bb are two-digit
hexadecimal numbers. This allows much finer control over colors used.
In the FAQ question "How do I integrate Jujutsu with Gerrit?", the link
to the glossary entry for "co-located repos" was pointing to the entry
for "change-id".
The `amend/unamend` aliases exist for smoothen onboarding for
Git/Mercurial users; I don't think we should recommend that users use
them, so I think it's fine if users override them as they
like. Therefore, I think they belong in the config.
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.

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'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.
