I think it might be nice to have this in the upcoming release, but I'd
like to warn people that their changes will be lost if they aren't
careful, and to not rely on the syntax being fixed just yet.
This implements a building block of "signed-off-by line" #1399 and "commit
--verbose" #1946. We'll probably need an easy way to customize the diff part,
but I'm not sure if it can be as simple as a template alias function. User
might want to embed diffs without "JJ: " prefixes?
Perhaps, we can deprecate "ui.default-description", but it's not addressed in
this patch. It could be replaced with "default_description" template alias,
but we might want to configure default per command. Suppose we add a default
"backout_description" template, it would have to be rendered against the
source commit, not the newly-created backout commit.
The template key is named as "draft_commit_description" because it is the
template to generate an editor template. "templates.commit_description_template"
sounds a bit odd.
There's one minor behavior change: the default description is now terminated
by "\n".
Closes#1354
It's common to create empty working-copy commits while using jj, and
currently the author timestamp for a commit is only set when it is first
created. If you create an empty commit, then don't work on a repo for a
few days, and then start working on a new feature without abandoning the
working-copy commit, the author timestamp will remain as the time the
commit was created rather than being updated to the time that work began
or finished.
This commit changes the behavior so that discardable commits (empty
commits with no description) by the current user have their author
timestamps reset when they are rewritten, meaning that the author
timestamp will become finalized whenever a commit is given a description
or becomes non-empty.
this greatly speeds up the time to run all tests, at the cost of slightly larger recompile times for individual tests.
this unfortunately adds the requirement that all tests are listed in `runner.rs` for the crate.
to avoid forgetting, i've added a new test that ensures the directory is in sync with the file.
## benchmarks
before this change, recompiling all tests took 32-50 seconds and running a single test took 3.5 seconds:
```
; hyperfine 'touch lib/src/lib.rs && cargo t --test test_working_copy'
Time (mean ± σ): 3.543 s ± 0.168 s [User: 2.597 s, System: 1.262 s]
Range (min … max): 3.400 s … 3.847 s 10 runs
```
after this change, recompiling all tests take 4 seconds:
```
; hyperfine 'touch lib/src/lib.rs ; cargo t --test runner --no-run'
Time (mean ± σ): 4.055 s ± 0.123 s [User: 3.591 s, System: 1.593 s]
Range (min … max): 3.804 s … 4.159 s 10 runs
```
and running a single test takes about the same:
```
; hyperfine 'touch lib/src/lib.rs && cargo t --test runner -- test_working_copy'
Time (mean ± σ): 4.129 s ± 0.120 s [User: 3.636 s, System: 1.593 s]
Range (min … max): 3.933 s … 4.346 s 10 runs
```
about 1.4 seconds of that is the time for the runner, of which .4 is the time for the linker. so
there may be room for further improving the times.
That is, jj will use ui.default_description as a starting point when
user is about to describe an empty change.
I think it might be confusing to do this with -m / --stdin (violates
WYSIWYG), so I'm only doing this when jj invokes an editor.
Also, this could evolve into a proper template in the future instead of
just plain text, to allow inheriting from parent change(s), for example.
Partially addresses #1354.
We anyway trim the newlines eventually and this just does that eagerly
so we output the "correct" description back to stdout (on describe for
example, we'd now print the first non empty line).
