The request to show the log output with more recent commits at the
bottom comes up once in a while (among Mercurial users, and now also
for jj from @arxanas). It's pretty easy to implement by adding an
adapter to the current `RevsetGraphIterator`. It works by first
collecting all nodes and edges into a vector and then yielding them in
reverse order and with reversed edges. That means it's no longer lazy,
but that seems fine since the feature is optional. Also, it's only the
subset of nodes that are in the selected revset that will be
collected.
Making the CLI use the new iterator adapter will come in a later
patch.
The biggest difference in the API is that fields are now public. The
exception from that is `oneof` fields, which still require setters and
getters.
I couldn't measure any difference in performance. I didn't expect any
difference either, but it's good that it didn't seem to regress. I
timed `jj debug operation <some hash prefix>`, which will read the
whole operation log (to check that the prefix is unambiguous).
Tree merges can currently fail because of a failure to look up an
object, or because of a failure to read its contents. Both results in
`BackendError` because of a `impl From<std::io::Error> for
BackendError`. That's kind of correct in this case, but it wasn't
intentional (that impl was from `local_backend`), and we need to
making errors more specific for better error handling.
I think I copied the name `write_tree()` from Git, but I find it quite
confusing, since it's not clear if it write a tree to the working copy
or reads the working copy and writes a tree to the store (it's the
former).
It seems to me that we have never created a Git index in order to
create a commit, not even in the earliest versions of the code (before
it was moved to Git).
Now that I'm using GitHub PRs instead of pushing directly to the main
branch, it's quite annoying to have to abandon the old commits after
GitHub rebases them. This patch makes it so we compare the remote's
previous heads to the new heads and abandons any commits that were
removed on the remote. As usual, that means that descendants get
rebased onto the closest remaining commit.
This is half of #241. The other half is to detect rewritten branches
and rebase on top.
Let's say we have a simple history like this:
```
B C D
\|/
A
```
Branch `main` initially points to commit B. Two concurrent operations
then move the branch to commits C and D. When the two concurrent
operations get merged, the branch will be recorded as pointing to
"C+D-B". If a subsequent operation now abandons commit B, we would
update the "removed" side of the branch conflict. That seems a little
dishonest. I think the reason I did it that way was in order to not
keep B visible back when having it present in the "removed" side would
keep it visible (before 33bf6ce1d5).
I noticed this issue while working on #241 because
`test_import_refs_reimport()` started failing. That test case is
pretty much exactly the case above.
When committing the working copy, we try to not visit ignored
directories (as e.g. `target/` often is), but we need to visit it if
there are already tracked files in it. I initially missed that in
c1060610bd and then fixed it in a028f33e3b. The fix works by
checking if the next path after the ignored path is inside the ignore
path (viewed as a directory). However, I forgot to handle the case
where there are no paths at all after the ignored path. So, for
example, if the `target/` directory should be ignored and it there
were no tracked paths after `target/` in alphabetical order, we would
still visit the directory. That's why the bug reproduced in the
`git-branchless` repo but not in the `jj` repo (because there are
files under `testing/` and `tests/` here).
Closes#247.
This patch makes room for sparse patterns in the `TreeState` proto
message. We also start setting that value to a list of just the
pattern `.` when we create new working copies. Old working copies
without the sparse patterns are also interpreted as having that single
pattern. Note that this absence of sparse patterns is different from a
present list of no patterns. The latter is a valid state and means
that no paths are included in the sparse checkout.
This adds a matcher that takes two input matchers and creates a new
matcher from them. The composite matcher matches paths matched by the
first matcher but not matched by the second matcher. I plan to use
this for sparse checkouts. They'll also be useful if we add support
for negative patterns to filter e.g. `jj files` by.
Knowing that a matchers matches everything recursively from a certain
directory is useful for various optimizations. For example, it lets
you avoid visiting a directory if you're using a matcher with a
negative condition (so you return what does *not* match).
The `DescendantRebaser` keeps a map of branches from the source
commit, so it gets efficient lookup of branches to update when a
commit has been rebased. This map was not kept up to date as we
rebased. That could lead to branches getting left on hidden
intermediate commits. Specifically, if a commit with a branch was
rewritten by some command, and an ancestor of it was also rewritten,
then we'd only update the branch only the first step and not update it
again when rebasing onto the rewritten ancestor.
When a directory is missing in one merge input (base or one side), we
would consider that a merge conflict. This patch changes that so we
instead merge trees by treating the missing tree as empty.
This introduces a `connected(x)` function, which is simply the same as
`x:x`. It's occasionally useful if `x` is a long expression. It's also
useful as a building block for `root(x)` (coming soon).
We do it for all the other kinds of objects already. It's useful to
have the path for backends that store objects by path (we don't have
any such backends yet). I think the reason I didn't do it from the
beginning was because we had separate `RepoPath` types for files and
directories back then.
We depend on comparing the workspace root with the Git repo's path to
know if we're sharing the working copy with it. For that to work
reliably, we need the paths to be canonicalized, so that's what this
patch tries to do.
This involved copying `UnresolvedHeadRepo::resolve()` into the CLI
crate (and modifying it a bit to print number of rebased commit),
which is unfortunate.
The function is now pretty simple, and there's only one caller, so
let's inline it. It probably makes sense to move the code out of
`repo.rs` at some point.
It's the transaction's job to create a new operation, and that's where
the knowledge of parent operations is. By moving the logic for merging
in another operation there, we can make it contiuously update its set
of parent operations. That removes the risk of forgetting to add the
merged-in operation as a parent. It also makes it easier to reuse the
function from the CLI so we can inform the user about the process
(which is what I was investigating when I noticed that this cleanup
was possible).
