Evolution needs to have fast access to the predecessors. This change
adds that information to the commit index.
Evolution also needs fast access to the change id and the bit saying
whether a commit is pruned. We'll add those soon.
Some tests changed because they previously added commits with
predecessors that were not indexed, which is no longer allowed from
this change. (We'll probably eventually want to allow that again, so
that the user can prune predecessors they no longer care about from
the repo.)
Windows doesn't support recording the executable bit in the file
system. Before this commit, the code for reading and writing the
executable wouldn't even compile on Windows. This commit at least
makes it so we preserve whatever bit has been recorded in the repo.
At least I hope that's what it does -- I don't have access to a
Windows machine right now.
The project doesn't currently build on Windows. One reason is because
we had a `unimplemented!()` when trying to write a symlink. Let's
print a warning instead, so the project can start building on
Windows. (The next patch will fix another build problem on Windows.)
This adds an interactive mode for `jj restore`. It works by first
creating two temporary directories with the contents of the subset of
files that differ between the two trees, and then letting the user
edit the directory representing the right/after side. This has some
advantages compared to the interactive modes in Git and Mercurial:
* It lets the user edit the final state as opposed to the diff itself
(depending on the diff tool, of course). I think most users find it
easier to edit the file contents than to edit the patch
format.
* It delegates the hard work to a tool that is already written (this
is a big advantage for an immature tool like Jujube, but it is not
an advantage from the user's point of view).
Almost all of the work in this commit went into adding a function that
takes two trees, lets the user edit the diff, and returns a new tree
id. I plan to reuse that function for other interactive commands. One
planned command is `jj edit`, which will let the user edit the changes
in a commit. `jj edit -r abc123` will be mostly about providing a more
intuitive name for `jj restore --source abc123^ --destination abc123`,
plus it will be different for merge commits (it will edit only the
changes in the merge commit). I also plan to add `jj split` by letting
the user edit the full diff, leaving only the parts that should go
into the first commit. Perhaps there will also be commands for moving
part of a commit out of or into a parent commit.
I had tried to generate the protobuf code at build time many months
ago, but decided against it because it slowed down the build too
much. I didn't realize there was the
"cargo:rerun-if-changed=<filename>" feature that time. Given that that
exists, it seems like an obvious win to generate the source code at
build time.
I put the generated sources in `$OUT_DIR` (where [1] says they should
be), then include them in the `protos` module by using the `include!`
macro. The biggest problem with that is that I couldn't get IntelliJ
to understand it, even after enabling the experimental features
described in [2].

The project's source of truth is now in Git and I really miss support
for anonymous heads and evolution (compared to when the code was in
Mercurial). I'm therefore more motivated to make the tool useful for
day-to-day work on small repos, so I can use it myself. Until now, I
had been more focused on improving performance when it was used as a
read-only client for medium-to-large repos.
One important feature for my day-to-day work is support for
ignores. This commit adds simple and effective, but somewhat hacky
support for that. libgit2 requires a repo to check if a file should be
ignored (presumably so it can respect `.git/info/excludes`). To work
around that, we create a temporary git repo in `/tmp/` whenever the
working copy is committed. We set that temporary git repo's working
copy to be shared with our own working copy. Due to
https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/1716 (which seems to
apply to the non-.NET version as well), this workaround unfortunately
leaves a .git file (pointing to the deleted temporary git repo) around
in every Jujube repo. That's always ignored by libgit2, so it's not
much of a problem.
