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).
This release is mostly about the fix for #177, which looks pretty bad
even though I think it is actually harmless. It also has `jj log -p`
contributed by @yuja!
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.
There was a TODO about adding a test case for a delete/modify conflict
in a branch target that got resolved by abandoning a commit. The
resolution is to delete the branch. That case couldn't happend with
our old evolution-based mechanism for tracking rewrites (because we
couldn't un-prune a commit then).
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).
If we have recorded in `MutableRepo` that commits have been abandoned
or rewritten, we should always rebase descendants before committing
the transaction (otherwise there's no reason to record the
rewrites). That's not much of a risk in the CLI because we already
have that logic in a central place there (`finish_transaction()`), but
other users of the library crate could easily miss it. Perhaps we
should automatically do any necessary rebasing we commit the
transaction in the library crate instead, but for now let's just have
a check for that to catch such bugs.
Certain commands should never rewrite commits, or they take care of
rebasing descendants themselves. We have an optimization in
`commands.rs` for those commands, so they skip the usual automatic
rebasing before committing the transaction. That's risky to have to
remember and `MutableRepo` already knows if any commits have been
rewritten (that wasn't the case before, in the Evolution-based
code). So let's just have `MutableRepo` do the check instead.
It's useful for the UI layer to know that there's been concurrent
operations, so it can inform the user that that happened. It'll be
even more useful when we soon start making the resolution involve
rebasing commits, since that's even more important for the UI layer to
present to the user. This patch gets us a bit closer to that by moving
the resolution to the repo level.
We had a few lines of similar code where we added a new of the
operation log and then removed the old heads. By moving that code into
a new type, we prepare for further refactorings.
I want to make it so when we apply a repo-level change that removes a
head, we rebase descendants of that head onto the closes visible
ancestor, or onto its successor if the head has been rewritten (see
#111 for details). The view itself doesn't have enough information for
that; we need repo-level information (to figure out relationships
between commits).
The view doesn't have enough information to do the.
It's unusual for the current commit to have descendants, but it can
happen. In particular, it can easily happen when you run `jj new`. You
probably don't want to abandon it in those cases.
