Since the working copy can now handle conflicts, we don't need to
materialize conflicts when checking out a commit.
Before this patch, we used to create a new commit on top whenever we
checked out a commit with conflicts. That new commit was intended just
for resolving the conflicts. The typical workflow was the resolve the
conflicts and then amend. To use the same workflow after this patch,
one needs to explicitly create a new commit on top with `jj new` after
checking out a commit with conflict.
If you rewrite a commit that's also available on some remote, you'll
currently see both the old version and the new version in the view,
which means they're divergent. They're not logically divergent (the
rewritten version should replace the old version), so this is a UX
bug. I think it indicates that the set of current heads should be
redefined to be the *desired* heads. That's also what I had suspected
in the TODO removed by this change. I think another indication that
we should hide the old heads even if they have e.g. a remote branch
pointing to them is that we don't want them to be rebased if we
rewrite an ancestor.
So that's what I decided to do: let the view's heads be the desired
heads. The user can still define revsets for showing non-current
commits pointed to by e.g. remote branches.
It's been a lot of work, but now we're finally able to remove the
`Evolution` state! `jj obslog` still works as before (it just walks
the predecessor pointers).
When we remove support for evolution (#32), we need to still make it
easy for application code to rebase descendants of rewritten and
abandoned commits. The way applications currently do that is by using
e.g. `CommitBuilder::for_rewrite_from()` followed by
`evolve_orphans()`. This patch puts some bookkeeping in `MutableRepo`
for rewritten and abandoned commits, along with a function for
creating a `DescendantRebaser` based on it. I'll then make
`CommitBuilder` record rewritten commits there.
This adds support for having conflicting git refs in the view, but we
never create conflicts yet. The `git_refs()` revset includes all "add"
sides of any conflicts. Similarly `origin/main` (for example) resolves
to all "adds" if it's conflicted (meaning that `jj co origin/main` and
many other commands will error out if `origin/main` is
conflicted). The `git_refs` template renders the reference for all
"adds" and adds a "?" as suffix for conflicted refs.
The reason I'm adding this now is not because it's high priority on
its own (it's likely extremely uncommon to run two concurrent `jj git
refresh` and *also* update refs in the underlying git repo at the same
time) but because it's a building block for the branch support I've
planned (issue #21).
I had initially hoped that the type-safety provided by the separate
`FileRepoPath` and `DirRepoPath` types would help prevent bugs. I'm
not sure if it has prevented any bugs so far. It has turned out that
there are more cases than I had hoped where it's unknown whether a
path is for a directory or a file. One such example is for the path of
a conflict. Since it can be conflict between a directory and a file,
it doesn't make sense to use either. Instead we end up with quite a
bit of conversion between the types. I feel like they are not worth
the extra complexity. This patch therefore starts simplifying it by
replacing uses of `FileRepoPath` by `RepoPath`. `DirRepoPath` is a
little more complicated because its string form ends with a '/'. I'll
address that in separate patches.
I thought I had looked for this case and cleaned up all the places
when I made `Transaction::commit()` return a new `ReadonlyRepo`. I
must have forgotten to do that, because there we tons of places to
clean up left.
