Yuya Nishihara 87a8238bee git: turn git.auto-local-branch off by default
As far as I can see in the chat, there's no objection to changing the default,
and git.auto-local-branch = false is generally preferred.

docs/branches.md isn't updated as it would otherwise conflict with #2625. I
think the "Remotes" section will need a non-trivial rewrite.

# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## [Unreleased]
### Breaking changes
* `jj git fetch` no longer imports new remote branches as local branches. Set
`git.auto-local-branch = true` to restore the old behavior.
### New features
* Information about new and resolved conflicts is now printed by every command.
* `jj branch` has gained a new `rename` subcommand that allows changing a branch
name atomically. `jj branch help rename` for details.
### Fixed bugs
## [0.12.0] - 2023-12-05
### Breaking changes
* The `remote_branches()` revset no longer includes branches exported to the Git
repository (so called Git-tracking branches.)
* `jj branch set` no longer creates a new branch. Use `jj branch create`
instead.
* `jj init --git` in an existing Git repository now errors and exits rather than
creating a second Git store.
### New features
* `jj workspace add` can now take _multiple_ `--revision` arguments, which will
create a new workspace with its working-copy commit on top of all the parents,
as if you had run `jj new r1 r2 r3 ...`.
* You can now set `git.abandon-unreachable-commits = false` to disable the
usual behavior where commits that became unreachable in the Git repo are
abandoned ([#2504](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/pull/2504)).
* `jj new` gained a `--no-edit` option to prevent editing the newly created
commit. For example, `jj new a b --no-edit -m Merge` creates a merge commit
without affecting the working copy.
* `jj rebase` now takes the flag `--skip-empty`, which doesn't copy over commits
that would become empty after a rebase.
* There is a new `jj util gc` command for cleaning up the repository storage.
For now, it simply runs `git gc` on the backing Git repo (when using the Git
backend).
### Fixed bugs
* Fixed another file conflict resolution issue where `jj status` would disagree
with the actual file content.

## [0.11.0] - 2023-11-01
### Breaking changes
* Conflicts are now stored in a different way. Commits written by a new `jj`
binary will not be read correctly by older `jj` binaries. The new model
solves some performance problems with the old model. For example, `jj log`
should be noticeably faster on large repos. You may need to create a new
clone to see the full speedup.
* The `remote_branches()` revset now includes branches exported to the Git
repository (so called Git-tracking branches.) *This change will be reverted
in 0.12.0.*
* Status messages are now printed to stderr.
* `jj config set` now interprets the value as TOML also if it's a valid TOML
array or table. For example, `jj config set --user 'aliases.n' '["new"]'`
* Remote branches now have tracking or non-tracking flags. The
`git.auto-local-branch` setting is applied only to newly fetched remote
branches. Existing remote branches are migrated as follows:
* If local branch exists, the corresponding remote branches are considered
tracking branches.
* Otherwise, the remote branches are non-tracking branches.
If the deduced tracking flags are wrong, use `jj branch track`/`untrack`
commands to fix them up.
See [automatic local branch creation](docs/config.md#automatic-local-branch-creation)
for details.
* Non-tracking remote branches aren't listed by default. Use `jj branch list
--all` to show all local and remote branches.
* It's not allowed to push branches if non-tracking remote branches of the same
name exist.
* Pushing deleted/moved branches no longer abandons the local commits referenced
by the remote branches.
* `jj git fetch --branch` now requires `glob:` prefix to expand `*` in branch
name.
### New features
* `jj`'s stable release can now be installed with [`cargo binstall jj-cli`](https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall).
* `jj workspace add` now takes a `--revision` argument.
* `jj workspace forget` can now forget multiple workspaces at once.
* `branches()`/`remote_branches()`/`author()`/`committer()`/`description()`
revsets now support glob matching.
* `jj branch delete`/`forget`/`list`, and `jj git push --branch` now support
[string pattern syntax](docs/revsets.md#string-patterns). The `--glob` option
is deprecated in favor of `glob:` pattern.
* The `branches`/`tags`/`git_refs`/`git_head` template keywords now return a
list of `RefName`s. They were previously pre-formatted strings.
* The new template keywords `local_branches`/`remote_branches` are added to show
only local/remote branches.
* `jj workspace add` now preserves all parents of the old working-copy commit
instead of just the first one.
* `jj rebase -r` gained the ability to rebase a revision `A` onto a descendant
of `A`.
### Fixed bugs
* Updating the working copy to a commit where a file that's currently ignored
in the working copy no longer leads to a crash
([#976](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/976)).
* Conflicts in executable files can now be resolved just like conflicts in
non-executable files ([#1279](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1279)).
* `jj new --insert-before` and `--insert-after` now respect immutable revisions
([#2468](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/pull/2468)).

## [0.10.0] - 2023-10-04
### Breaking changes
* A default revset-alias function `trunk()` now exists. If you previously defined
your own `trunk()` alias it will continue to overwrite the built-in one.
Check [revsets.toml](cli/src/config/revsets.toml) and [revsets.md](docs/revsets.md)
to understand how the function can be adapted.
### New features
* The `ancestors()` revset function now takes an optional `depth` argument
to limit the depth of the ancestor set. For example, use `jj log -r
'ancestors(@, 5)` to view the last 5 commits.
* Support for the Watchman filesystem monitor is now bundled by default. Set
`core.fsmonitor = "watchman"` in your repo to enable.
* You can now configure the set of immutable commits via
`revset-aliases.immutable_heads()`. For example, set it to
`"remote_branches() | tags()"` to prevent rewriting those those. Their
ancestors are implicitly also immutable.
* `jj op log` now supports `--no-graph`.
* Templates now support an additional escape: `\0`. This will output a literal
null byte. This may be useful for e.g.
`jj log -T 'description ++ "\0"' --no-graph` to output descriptions only, but
be able to tell where the boundaries are
* jj now bundles a TUI tool to use as the default diff and merge editors. (The
previous default was `meld`.)
* `jj split` supports the `--interactive` flag. (This is already the default if
no paths are provided.)
* `jj commit` accepts an optional list of paths indicating a subset of files to
include in the first commit
* `jj commit` accepts the `--interactive` flag.

## [0.9.0] - 2023-09-06
### Breaking changes
* The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.71.0.
* The storage format of branches, tags, and git refs has changed. Newly-stored
repository data will no longer be loadable by older binaries.
* The `:` revset operator is deprecated. Use `::` instead. We plan to delete the
`:` form in jj 0.15+.
* The `--allow-large-revsets` flag for `jj rebase` and `jj new` was replaced by
a `all:` before the revset. For example, use `jj rebase -d 'all:foo-'`
instead of `jj rebase --allow-large-revsets -d 'foo-'`.
* The `--allow-large-revsets` flag for `jj rebase` and `jj new` can no longer be
used for allowing duplicate destinations. Include the potential duplicates
in a single expression instead (e.g. `jj new 'all:x|y'`).
* The `push.branch-prefix` option was renamed to `git.push-branch-prefix`.
* The default editor on Windows is now `Notepad` instead of `pico`.
* `jj` will fail attempts to snapshot new files larger than 1MiB by default. This behavior
can be customized with the `snapshot.max-new-file-size` config option.
* Author and committer signatures now use empty strings to represent unset
names and email addresses. The `author`/`committer` template keywords and
methods also return empty strings.
Older binaries may not warn user when attempting to `git push` commits
with such signatures.
* In revsets, the working-copy or remote symbols (such as `@`, `workspace_id@`,
and `branch@remote`) can no longer be quoted as a unit. If a workspace or
branch name contains whitespace, quote the name like `"branch name"@remote`.
Also, these symbols will not be resolved as revset aliases or function
parameters. For example, `author(foo@)` is now an error, and the revset alias
`'revset-aliases.foo@' = '@'` will be failed to parse.
* The `root` revset symbol has been converted to function `root()`.
* The `..x` revset is now evaluated to `root()..x`, which means the root commit
is no longer included.
* `jj git push` will now push all branches in the range `remote_branches()..@`
instead of only branches pointing to `@` or `@-`.
* It's no longer allowed to create a Git remote named "git". Use `jj git remote
rename` to rename the existing remote.
[#1690](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1690)
* Revset expression like `origin/main` will no longer resolve to a
remote-tracking branch. Use `main@origin` instead.
### New features
* Default template for `jj log` now does not show irrelevant information
(timestamp, empty, message placeholder etc.) about the root commit.
* Commit templates now support the `root` keyword, which is `true` for the root
commit and `false` for every other commit.
* `jj init --git-repo` now works with bare repositories.
* `jj config edit --user` and `jj config set --user` will now pick a default
config location if no existing file is found, potentially creating parent directories.
* `jj log` output is now topologically grouped.
[#242](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/242)
* `jj git clone` now supports the `--colocate` flag to create the git repo
in the same directory as the jj repo.
* `jj restore` gained a new option `--changes-in` to restore files
from a merge revision's parents. This undoes the changes that `jj diff -r`
would show.
* `jj diff`/`log` now supports `--tool <name>` option to generate diffs by
external program. For configuration, see [the documentation](docs/config.md).
[#1886](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1886)
* A new experimental diff editor `meld-3` is introduced that sets up Meld to
allow you to see both sides of the original diff while editing. This can be
used with `jj split`, `jj move -i`, etc.
* `jj log`/`obslog`/`op log` now supports `--limit N` option to show the first
`N` entries.
* Added the `ui.paginate` option to enable/disable pager usage in commands
* `jj checkout`/`jj describe`/`jj commit`/`jj new`/`jj squash` can take repeated
`-m/--message` arguments. Each passed message will be combined into paragraphs
(separated by a blank line)
* It is now possible to set a default description using the new
`ui.default-description` option, to use when describing changes with an empty
description.
* `jj split` will now leave the description empty on the second part if the
description was empty on the input commit.
* `branches()`/`remote_branches()`/`author()`/`committer()`/`description()`
revsets now support exact matching. For example, `branch(exact:main)`
selects the branch named "main", but not "maint". `description(exact:"")`
selects commits whose description is empty.
* Revsets gained a new function `mine()` that aliases `author(exact:"your_email")`.
* Added support for `::` and `..` revset operators with both left and right
operands omitted. These expressions are equivalent to `all()` and `~root()`
respectively.
* `jj log` timestamp format now accepts `.utc()` to convert a timestamp to UTC.
* templates now support additional string methods `.starts_with(x)`, `.ends_with(x)`
`.remove_prefix(x)`, `.remove_suffix(x)`, and `.substr(start, end)`.
* `jj next` and `jj prev` are added, these allow you to traverse the history
in a linear style. For people coming from Sapling and `git-branchles`
see [#2126](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/2126) for
further pending improvements.
* `jj diff --stat` has been implemented. It shows a histogram of the changes,
same as `git diff --stat`. Fixes [#2066](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/2066)
* `jj git fetch --all-remotes` has been implemented. It fetches all remotes
instead of just the default remote
### Fixed bugs
* Fix issues related to .gitignore handling of untracked directories
[#2051](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/2051).
* `jj config set --user` and `jj config edit --user` can now be used outside of any repository.
* SSH authentication could hang when ssh-agent couldn't be reached
[#1970](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1970)
* SSH authentication can now use ed25519 and ed25519-sk keys. They still need
to be password-less.
* Git repository managed by the repo tool can now be detected as a "colocated"
repository.

## [0.8.0] - 2023-07-09
### Breaking changes
* The `jujutsu` and `jujutsu-lib` crates were renamed to `jj-cli` and `jj-lib`,
respectively.
* The `ui.oplog-relative-timestamps` option has been removed. Use the
`format_time_range()` template alias instead. For details, see
[the documentation](docs/config.md).
* Implicit concatenation of template expressions has been disabled. Use
`++` operator, `concat()`, or `separate()` function instead.
Example: `description ++ "\n"`
* `jj git push` will consider pushing the parent commit only when the
current commit has no content and no description, such as right after
a `jj squash`.
* The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.64.0.
* The `heads()` revset function was split up into two functions. `heads()`
without arguments is now called `visible_heads()`. `heads()` with one argument
is unchanged.
* The `ui.default-revset` config was renamed to `revsets.log`.
* The `jj sparse` command was split up into `jj sparse list` and
`jj sparse set`.
* `jj hide` (alias for `jj abandon`) is no longer available. Use `jj abandon`
instead.
* `jj debug completion`, `jj debug mangen` and `jj debug config-schema` have
been moved from `jj debug` to `jj util`.
* `jj` will no longer parse `br` as a git_ref `refs/heads/br` when a branch `br`
does not exist but the git_ref does (this is rare). Use `br@git` instead.
* `jj git fetch` will no longer import unrelated branches from the underlying
Git repo.
### New features
* `jj git push --deleted` will remove all locally deleted branches from the remote.
* `jj restore` without `--from` works correctly even if `@` is a merge
commit.
* `jj rebase` now accepts multiple `-s` and `-b` arguments. Revsets with
multiple commits are allowed with `--allow-large-revsets`.
* `jj git fetch` now supports a `--branch` argument to fetch some of the
branches only.
* `jj config get` command allows retrieving config values for use in scripting.
* `jj config set` command allows simple config edits like
`jj config set --repo user.email "somebody@example.com"`
* Added `ui.log-word-wrap` option to wrap `jj log`/`obslog`/`op log` content
based on terminal width. [#1043](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1043)
* Nodes in the (text-based) graphical log output now use a `◉` symbol instead
of the letter `o`. The ASCII-based graph styles still use `o`.
* Commands that accept a diff format (`jj diff`, `jj interdiff`, `jj show`,
`jj log`, and `jj obslog`) now accept `--types` to show only the type of file
before and after.
* `jj describe` now supports `--reset-author` for resetting a commit's author
to the configured user. `jj describe` also gained a `--no-edit` option to
avoid opening the editor.
* Added `latest(x[, n])` revset function to select the latest `n` commits.
* Added `conflict()` revset function to select commits with conflicts.
* `jj squash` AKA `jj amend` now accepts a `--message` option to set the
description of the squashed commit on the command-line.
* The progress display on `jj git clone/fetch` now includes the downloaded size.
* The formatter now supports a "default" color that can override another color
defined by a parent style.
* `jj obslog` and `jj log` now show abandoned commits as hidden.
* `jj git fetch` and `jj git push` will now use the single defined remote even
if it is not named "origin".
* `jj git push` now accepts `--branch` and `--change` arguments together.
* `jj git push` now accepts a `-r/--revisions` flag to specify revisions to
push. All branches pointing to any of the specified revisions will be pushed.
The flag can be used together with `--branch` and `--change`.
* `jj` with no subcommand now defaults to `jj log` instead of showing help. This
command can be overridden by setting `ui.default-command`.
* Description tempfiles created via `jj describe` now have the file extension
`.jjdescription` to help external tooling detect a unique filetype.
* The shortest unique change ID prefixes and commit ID prefixes in `jj log` are
now shorter within the default log revset. You can override the default by
setting the `revsets.short-prefixes` config to a different revset.
* The last seen state of branches in the underlying git repo is now presented by
`jj branch list`/`jj log` as a remote called `git` (e.g. `main@git`). They can
also be referenced in revsets. Such branches exist in colocated repos or if
you use `jj git export`.
* The new `jj chmod` command allows setting or removing the executable bit on
paths. Unlike the POSIX `chmod`, it works on Windows, on conflicted files, and
on arbitrary revisions. Bits other than the executable bit are not planned to
be supported.
* `jj sparse set` now accepts an `--edit` flag which brings up the `$EDITOR` to
edit sparse patterns.
* `jj branch list` can now be filtered by revset.
* Initial support for the Watchman filesystem monitor. Set
`core.fsmonitor = "watchman"` in your repo to enable.
### Fixed bugs
* Modify/delete conflicts now include context lines
[#1244](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1244).
* It is now possible to modify either side of a modify/delete conflict (any
change used to be considered a resolution).
* Fixed a bug that could get partially resolved conflicts to be interpreted
incorrectly.
* `jj git fetch`: when re-adding a remote repository that had been previously
removed, in some situations the remote branches were not recreated.
* `jj git remote rename`: the git remote references were not rewritten with
the new name. If a new remote with the old name and containing the same
branches was added, the remote branches may not be recreated in some cases.
* `jj workspace update-stale` now snapshots the working-copy changes before
updating to the new working-copy commit.
* It is no longer allowed to create branches at the root commit.
* `git checkout` (without using `jj`) in colocated repo no longer abandons
the previously checked-out anonymous branch.
[#1042](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1042).
* `jj git fetch` in a colocated repo now abandons branches deleted on the
remote, just like in a non-colocated repo.
[#864](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/864)
* `jj git fetch` can now fetch forgotten branches even if they didn't move on
the remote.
[#1714](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/pull/1714)
[#1771](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/pull/1771)
* It is now possible to `jj branch forget` deleted branches.
[#1537](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1537)
* Fixed race condition when assigning change id to Git commit. If you've
already had unreachable change ids, run `jj debug reindex`.
[#924](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/924)
* Fixed false divergence on racy working-copy snapshots.
[#697](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/697),
[#1608](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1608)
* In colocated repos, a bug causing conflicts when undoing branch moves (#922)
has been fixed. Some surprising behaviors related to undoing `jj git push` or
`jj git fetch` remain.

## [0.7.0] - 2023-02-16
### Breaking changes
* The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.61.0.
* The `jj touchup` command was renamed to `jj diffedit`.
* The `-i` option to `jj restore` was removed in favor of new `--from`/`--to`
options to `jj diffedit`.
* To report the situation when a change id corresponds to multiple visible
commits, `jj log` now prints the change id in red and puts `??` after it.
Previously, it printed the word "divergent".
* `jj log` prefixes commit descriptions with "(empty)" when they contain no
change compared to their parents.
* The `author`/`committer` templates now display both name and email. Use
`author.name()`/`committer.name()` to extract the name.
* Storage of the "HEAD@git" reference changed and can now have conflicts.
Operations written by a new `jj` binary will have a "HEAD@git" reference that
is not visible to older binaries.
* The `description` template keyword is now empty if no description set.
Use `if(description, description, "(no description set)\n")` to get back
the previous behavior.
* The `template.log.graph` and `template.commit_summary` config keys were
renamed to `templates.log` and `templates.commit_summary` respectively.
* If a custom `templates.log` template is set, working-copy commit will
no longer be highlighted automatically. Wrap your template with
`label(if(current_working_copy, "working_copy"), ...)` to label the
working-copy entry.
* The `ui.relative-timestamps` option has been removed. Use the
`format_timestamp()` template alias instead. For details on showing relative
timestamps in `jj log` and `jj show`, see [the documentation](docs/config.md).
* `jj op log` now shows relative timestamps by default. To disable, set
`ui.oplog-relative-timestamps` to `false`.
* The global `--no-commit-working-copy` is now called `--ignore-working-copy`.
* The `diff.format` config option is now called `ui.diff.format`. The old name
is still supported for now.
* `merge-tools.<name>.edit-args` now requires `$left`/`$right` parameters.
The default is `edit-args = ["$left", "$right"]`.
* The builtin `jj update` and `jj up` aliases for `jj checkout` have been
deleted.
* Change IDs are now rendered using letters from the end of the alphabet (from
'z' through 'k') instead of the usual hex digits ('0' through '9' and 'a'
through 'f'). This is to clarify the distinction between change IDs and commit
IDs, and to allow more efficient lookup of unique prefixes. This change
doesn't affect the storage format; existing repositories will remain usable.
### New features
* The default log format now uses the committer timestamp instead of the author
timestamp.
* `jj log --summary --patch` now shows both summary and diff outputs.
* `jj git push` now accepts multiple `--branch`/`--change` arguments
* `jj config list` command prints values from config and `config edit` opens
the config in an editor.
* `jj debug config-schema` command prints out JSON schema for the jj TOML config
file format.
* `jj resolve --list` can now describe the complexity of conflicts.
* `jj resolve` now notifies the user of remaining conflicts, if any, on success.
This can be prevented by the new `--quiet` option.
* Per-repository configuration is now read from `.jj/repo/config.toml`.
* Background colors, bold text, and underlining are now supported. You can set
e.g. `color.error = { bg = "red", bold = true, underline = true }` in your
`~/.jjconfig.toml`.
* The `empty` condition in templates is true when the commit makes no change to
the three compared to its parents.
* `branches([needle])` revset function now takes `needle` as an optional
argument and matches just the branches whose name contains `needle`.
* `remote_branches([branch_needle[, remote_needle]])` now takes `branch_needle`
and `remote_needle` as optional arguments and matches just the branches whose
name contains `branch_needle` and remote contains `remote_needle`.
* `jj git fetch` accepts repeated `--remote` arguments.
* Default remotes can be configured for the `jj git fetch` and `jj git push`
operations ("origin" by default) using the `git.fetch` and `git.push`
configuration entries. `git.fetch` can be a list if multiple remotes must
be fetched from.
* `jj duplicate` can now duplicate multiple changes in one go. This preserves
any parent-child relationships between them. For example, the entire tree of
descendants of `abc` can be duplicated with `jj duplicate abc:`.
* `jj log` now highlights the shortest unique prefix of every commit and change
id and shows the rest in gray. To customize the length and style, use the
`format_short_id()` template alias. For details, see
[the documentation](docs/config.md).
* `jj print` was renamed to `jj cat`. `jj print` remains as an alias.
* In content that goes to the terminal, the ANSI escape byte (0x1b) is replaced
by a "␛" character. That prevents them from interfering with the ANSI escapes
jj itself writes.
* `jj workspace root` prints the root path of the current workspace.
* The `[alias]` config section was renamed to `[aliases]`. The old name is
still accepted for backwards compatibility for some time.
* Commands that draw an ASCII graph (`jj log`, `jj op log`, `jj obslog`) now
have different styles available by setting e.g. `ui.graph.style = "curved"`.
* `jj split` accepts creating empty commits when given a path. `jj split .`
inserts an empty commit between the target commit and its children if any,
and `jj split any-non-existent-path` inserts an empty commit between the
target commit and its parents.
* Command arguments to `ui.diff-editor`/`ui.merge-editor` can now be specified
inline without referring to `[merge-tools]` table.
* `jj rebase` now accepts a new `--allow-large-revsets` argument that allows the
revset in the `-d` argument to expand to several revisions. For example,
`jj rebase -s B -d B- -d C` now works even if `B` is a merge commit.
* `jj new` now also accepts a `--allow-large-revsets` argument that behaves
similarly to `jj rebase --allow-large-revsets`.
* `jj new --insert-before` inserts the new commit between the target commit and
its parents.
* `jj new --insert-after` inserts the new commit between the target commit and
its children.
* `author`/`committer` templates now support `.username()`, which leaves out the
domain information of `.email()`.
* It is now possible to change the author format of `jj log` with the
`format_short_signature()` template alias. For details, see
[the documentation](docs/config.md).
* Added support for template aliases. New symbols and functions can be
configured by `template-aliases.<name> = <expression>`. Be aware that
the template syntax isn't documented yet and is likely to change.
* The `ui.diff-instructions` config setting can be set to `false` to inhibit the
creation of the `JJ-INSTRUCTIONS` file as part of diff editing.
### Fixed bugs
* When sharing the working copy with a Git repo, we used to forget to export
branches to Git when only the working copy had changed. That's now fixed.
* Commit description set by `-m`/`--message` is now terminated with a newline
character, just like descriptions set by editor are.
* The `-R`/`--repository` path must be a valid workspace directory. Its
ancestor directories are no longer searched.
* Fixed a crash when trying to access a commit that's never been imported into
the jj repo from a Git repo. They will now be considered as non-existent if
referenced explicitly instead of crashing.
* Fixed handling of escaped characters in .gitignore (only keep trailing spaces
if escaped properly).
* `jj undo` now works after `jj duplicate`.
* `jj duplicate` followed by `jj rebase` of a tree containing both the original
and duplicate commit no longer crashes. The fix should also resolve any remaining
instances of https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/27.
* Fix the output of `jj debug completion --help` by reversing fish and zsh text.
* Fixed edge case in `jj git fetch` when a pruned branch is a prefix of another
branch.

## [0.6.1] - 2022-12-05
No changes, only changed to a released version of the `thrift` crate dependency.
## [0.6.0] - 2022-12-05
### Breaking changes
* Dropped candidates set argument from `description(needle)`, `author(needle)`,
`committer(needle)`, `merges()` revsets. Use `x & description(needle)`
instead.
* Adjusted precedence of revset union/intersection/difference operators.
`x | y & z` is now equivalent to `x | (y & z)`.
* Support for open commits has been dropped. The `ui.enable-open-commits` config
that was added in 0.5.0 is no longer respected. The `jj open/close` commands
have been deleted.
* `jj commit` is now a separate command from `jj close` (which no longer
exists). The behavior has changed slightly. It now always asks for a
description, even if there already was a description set. It now also only
works on the working-copy commit (there's no `-r` argument).
* If a workspace's working-copy commit has been updated from another workspace,
most commands in that workspace will now fail. Use the new
`jj workspace update-stale` command to update the workspace to the new
working-copy commit. (The old behavior was to automatically update the
workspace.)
### New features
* Commands with long output are paginated.
[#9](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/9)
* The new `jj git remote rename` command allows git remotes to be renamed
in-place.
* The new `jj resolve` command allows resolving simple conflicts with
an external 3-way-merge tool.
* `jj git push` will search `@-` for branches to push if `@` has none.
* The new revset function `file(pattern..)` finds commits modifying the
paths specified by the `pattern..`.
* The new revset function `empty()` finds commits modifying no files.
* Added support for revset aliases. New symbols and functions can be configured
by `revset-aliases.<name> = <expression>`.
* It is now possible to specify configuration options on the command line
with the new `--config-toml` global option.
* `jj git` subcommands will prompt for credentials when required for HTTPS
remotes rather than failing.
[#469](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/469)
* Branches that have a different target on some remote than they do locally are
now indicated by an asterisk suffix (e.g. `main*`) in `jj log`.
[#254](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/254)
* The commit ID was moved from first on the line in `jj log` output to close to
the end. The goal is to encourage users to use the change ID instead, since
that is generally more convenient, and it reduces the risk of creating
divergent commits.
* The username and hostname that appear in the operation log are now
configurable via config options `operation.username` and `operation.hostname`.
* `jj git` subcommands now support credential helpers.
* `jj log` will warn if it appears that the provided path was meant to be a
revset.
* The new global flag `-v/--verbose` will turn on debug logging to give
some additional insight into what is happening behind the scenes.
Note: This is not comprehensively supported by all operations yet.
* `jj log`, `jj show`, and `jj obslog` now all support showing relative
timestamps by setting `ui.relative-timestamps = true` in the config file.
### Fixed bugs
* A bug in the export of branches to Git caused spurious conflicted branches.
This typically occurred when running in a working copy colocated with Git
(created by running `jj init --git-dir=.`).
[#463](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/463)
* When exporting branches to Git, we used to fail if some branches could not be
exported (e.g. because Git doesn't allow a branch called `main` and another
branch called `main/sub`). We now print a warning about these branches
instead.
[#493](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/493)
* If you had modified branches in jj and also modified branches in conflicting
ways in Git, `jj git export` used to overwrite the changes you made in Git.
We now print a warning about these branches instead.
* `jj edit root` now fails gracefully.
* `jj git import` used to abandon a commit if Git branches and tags referring
to it were removed. We now keep it if a detached HEAD refers to it.
* `jj git import` no longer crashes when all Git refs are removed.
* Git submodules are now ignored completely. Earlier, files present in the
submodule directory in the working copy would become added (tracked), and
later removed if you checked out another commit. You can now use `git` to
populate the submodule directory and `jj` will leave it alone.
* Git's GC could remove commits that were referenced from jj in some cases. We
are now better at adding Git refs to prevent that.
[#815](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/815)
* When the working-copy commit was a merge, `jj status` would list only the
first parent, and the diff summary would be against that parent. The output
now lists all parents and the diff summary is against the auto-merged parents.

## [0.5.1] - 2022-10-17
No changes (just trying to get automated GitHub release to work).
## [0.5.0] - 2022-10-17
### Breaking changes
* Open commits are now disabled by default. That means that `jj checkout` will
always create a new change on top of the specified commit and will let you
edit that in the working copy. Set `ui.enable-open-commits = true` to restore
the old behavior and let us know that you did so we know how many people
prefer the workflow with open commits.
* `jj [op] undo` and `jj op restore` used to take the operation to undo or
restore to as an argument to `-o/--operation`. It is now a positional
argument instead (i.e. `jj undo -o abc123` is now written `jj undo abc123`).
* An alias that is not configured as a string list (e.g. `my-status = "status"`
instead of `my-status = ["status"]`) is now an error instead of a warning.
* `jj log` now defaults to showing only commits that are not on any remote
branches (plus their closest commit on the remote branch for context). This
set of commits can be overridden by setting `ui.default-revset`. Use
`jj log -r 'all()'` for the old behavior. Read more about revsets
[here](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/main/docs/revsets.md).
[#250](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/250)
* `jj new` now always checks out the new commit (used to be only if the parent
was `@`).
* `jj merge` now checks out the new commit. The command now behaves exactly
like `jj new`, except that it requires at least two arguments.
* When the working-copy commit is abandoned by `jj abandon` and the parent
commit is open, a new working-copy commit will be created on top (the open
parent commit used to get checked out).
* `jj branch` now uses subcommands like `jj branch create` and
`jj branch forget` instead of options like `jj branch --forget`.
[#330](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/330)
* The [`$NO_COLOR` environment variable](https://no-color.org/) no longer
overrides the `ui.color` configuration if explicitly set.
* `jj edit` has been renamed to `jj touchup`, and `jj edit` is now a new command
with different behavior. The new `jj edit` lets you edit a commit in the
working copy, even if the specified commit is closed.
* `jj git push` no longer aborts if you attempt to push an open commit (but it
now aborts if a commit does not have a description).
* `jj git push` now pushes only branches pointing to the `@` by default. Use
`--all` to push all branches.
* The `checkouts` template keyword is now called `working_copies`, and
`current_checkout` is called `current_working_copy`.
### New features
* The new `jj interdiff` command compares the changes in commits, ignoring
changes from intervening commits.
* `jj rebase` now accepts a `--branch/-b <revision>` argument, which can be used
instead of `-r` or `-s` to specify which commits to rebase. It will rebase the
whole branch, relative to the destination. The default mode has changed from
`-r @` to `-b @`.
* The new `jj print` command prints the contents of a file in a revision.
* The new `jj git remotes list` command lists the configured remotes and their
URLs.
[#243](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/243)
* `jj move` and `jj squash` now lets you limit the set of changes to move by
specifying paths on the command line (in addition to the `--interactive`
mode). For example, use `jj move --to @-- foo` to move the changes to file
(or directory) `foo` in the working copy to the grandparent commit.
* When `jj move/squash/unsquash` abandons the source commit because it became
empty and both the source and the destination commits have non-empty
descriptions, it now asks for a combined description. If either description
was empty, it uses the other without asking.
* `jj split` now lets you specify on the CLI which paths to include in the first
commit. The interactive diff-editing is not started when you do that.
* Sparse checkouts are now supported. In fact, all working copies are now
"sparse", only to different degrees. Use the `jj sparse` command to manage
the paths included in the sparse checkout.
* Configuration is now also read from `~/.jjconfig.toml`.
* The `$JJ_CONFIG` environment variable can now point to a directory. If it
does, all files in the directory will be read, in alphabetical order.
* The `$VISUAL` environment is now respected and overrides `$EDITOR`. The new
`ui.editor` config has higher priority than both of them. There is also a new
`$JJ_EDITOR` environment variable, which has even higher priority than the
config.
* You can now use `-` and `+` in revset symbols. You used to have to quote
branch names like `my-feature` in nested quotes (outer layer for your shell)
like `jj co '"my-feature"'`. The quoting is no longer needed.
* The new revset function `connected(x)` is the same as `x:x`.
* The new revset function `roots(x)` finds commits in the set that are not
descendants of other commits in the set.
* ssh-agent is now detected even if `$SSH_AGENT_PID` is not set (as long as
`$SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is set). This should help at least macOS users where
ssh-agent is launched by default and only `$SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is set.
* When importing from a git, any commits that are no longer referenced on the
git side will now be abandoned on the jj side as well. That means that
`jj git fetch` will now abandon unreferenced commits and rebase any local
changes you had on top.
* `jj git push` gained a `--change <revision>` argument. When that's used, it
will create a branch named after the revision's change ID, so you don't have
to create a branch yourself. By default, the branch name will start with
`push-`, but this can be overridden by the `push.branch-prefix` config
setting.
* `jj git push` now aborts if you attempt to push a commit without a
description or with the placeholder "(no name/email configured)" values for
author/committer.
* Diff editor command arguments can now be specified by config file.
Example:
[merge-tools.kdiff3]
program = "kdiff3"
edit-args = ["--merge", "--cs", "CreateBakFiles=0"]
* `jj branch` can accept any number of branches to update, rather than just one.
* Aliases can now call other aliases.
* `jj log` now accepts a `--reversed` option, which will show older commits
first.
* `jj log` now accepts file paths.
* `jj obslog` now accepts `-p`/`--patch` option, which will show the diff
compared to the previous version of the change.
* The "(no name/email configured)" placeholder value for name/email will now be
replaced if once you modify a commit after having configured your name/email.
* Color setting can now be overridden by `--color=always|never|auto` option.
* `jj checkout` now lets you specify a description with `--message/-m`.
* `jj new` can now be used for creating merge commits. If you pass more than
one argument to it, the new commit will have all of them as parents.
### Fixed bugs
* When rebasing a conflict where one side modified a file and the other side
deleted it, we no longer automatically resolve it in favor of the modified
content (this was a regression from commit c0ae4b16e8c4).
* Errors are now printed to stderr (they used to be printed to stdout).
* Updating the working copy to a commit where a file's executable bit changed
but the contents was the same used to lead to a crash. That has now been
fixed.
* If one side of a merge modified a directory and the other side deleted it, it
used to be considered a conflict. The same was true if both sides added a
directory with different files in. They are now merged as if the missing
directory had been empty.
* When using `jj move` to move part of a commit into an ancestor, any branches
pointing to the source commit used to be left on a hidden intermediate commit.
They are now correctly updated.
* `jj untrack` now requires at least one path (allowing no arguments was a UX
bug).
* `jj rebase` now requires at least one destination (allowing no arguments was a
UX bug).
* `jj restore --to <rev>` now restores from the working copy (it used to restore
from the working copy's parent).
* You now get a proper error message instead of a crash when `$EDITOR` doesn't
exist or exits with an error.
* Global arguments, such as `--at-op=<operation>`, can now be passed before
an alias.
* Fixed relative path to the current directory in output to be `.` instead of
empty string.
* When adding a new workspace, the parent of the current workspace's current
checkout will be checked out. That was always the intent, but the root commit
was accidentally checked out instead.
* When checking out a commit, the previous commit is no longer abandoned if it
has a non-empty description.
* All commands now consistently snapshot the working copy (it was missing from
e.g. `jj undo` and `jj merge` before).
## [0.4.0] - 2022-04-02
### Breaking changes
* Dropped support for config in `~/.jjconfig`. Your configuration is now read
from `<config dir>/jj/config.toml`, where `<config dir>` is
`${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}` or `~/.config/` on Linux,
`~/Library/Application Support/` on macOS, and `~\AppData\Roaming\` on
Windows.
### New features
* You can now set an environment variable called `$JJ_CONFIG` to a path to a
config file. That will then be read instead of your regular config file. This
is mostly intended for testing and scripts.
* The [standard `$NO_COLOR` environment variable](https://no-color.org/) is now
respected.
* `jj new` now lets you specify a description with `--message/-m`.
* When you check out a commit, the old commit no longer automatically gets
abandoned if it's empty and has descendants, it only gets abandoned if it's
empty and does not have descendants.
* When undoing an earlier operation, any new commits on top of commits from the
undone operation will be rebased away. For example, let's say you rebase
commit A so it becomes a new commit A', and then you create commit B on top of
A'. If you now undo the rebase operation, commit B will be rebased to be on
top of A instead. The same logic is used if the repo was modified by
concurrent operations (so if one operation added B on top of A, and one
operation rebased A as A', then B would be automatically rebased on top of
A'). See #111 for more examples.
[#111](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/111)
* `jj log` now accepts `-p`/`--patch` option.
### Fixed bugs
* Fixed crash on `jj init --git-repo=.` (it almost always crashed).
* When sharing the working copy with a Git repo, the automatic importing and
exporting (sometimes?) didn't happen on Windows.
## [0.3.3] - 2022-03-16
