This means that the commits previously pinned by remote branches are no longer
abandoned. I think that's more correct since "push" is the operation to
propagate local view to remote, and uninteresting commits should have been
locally abandoned.
This patch adds MutableRepo::track_remote_branch() as we'll probably need to
track the default branch on "jj git clone". untrack_remote_branch() is also
added for consistency.
The original idea was to completely replace git_refs with remotes["git"] by
introducing "forgotten" state, but it turned out to break "fetch && undo"
scenario. There are other ways around, but they also have problems:
* Sets tombstone on forgotten/deleted remote refs, exports remote refs without
comparing to the known refs.
* `jj undo` would need to insert tombstone by diffing old/new views.
* `jj branch forget` would need to preserve the @git branch whereas the other
remote branches would be forgotten.
* Always overwrites remote refs on export.
* `jj git export` without importing would discard remote refs.
So, I decided to not remove git_refs. Apparently, it also improves the undo
behavior. In the new model, `jj git fetch && jj undo && jj git fetch` works
even if git_refs isn't rolled back. So we can unify the default of
`jj undo --what`.
This adds a new `revset-aliases.immutable_heads()s` config for
defining the set of immutable commits. The set is defined as the
configured revset, as well as its ancestors, and the root commit
commit (even if the configured set is empty).
This patch also adds enforcement of the config where we already had
checks preventing rewrite of the root commit. The working-copy commit
is implicitly assumed to be writable in most cases. Specifically, we
won't prevent amending the working copy even if the user includes it
in the config but we do prevent `jj edit @` in that case. That seems
good enough to me. Maybe we should emit a warning when the working
copy is in the set of immutable commits.
Maybe we should add support for something more like [Mercurial's
phases](https://wiki.mercurial-scm.org/Phases), which is propagated on
push and pull. There's already some affordance for that in the view
object's `public_heads` field. However, this is simpler, especially
since we can't propagate the phase to Git remotes, and seems like a
good start. Also, it lets you say that commits authored by other users
are immutable, for example.
For now, the functionality is in the CLI library. I'm not sure if we
want to move it into the library crate. I'm leaning towards letting
library users do whatever they want without being restricted by
immutable commits. I do think we should move the functionality into a
future `ui-lib` or `ui-util` crate. That crate would have most of the
functionality in the current `cli_util` module (but in a
non-CLI-specific form).
We are a little weird about which string escapes we support, and we don't
support raw strings. I thought this might be worth documenting.

Thanks to @lazywei for pointing out that `git pack-refs --all` is better, at
least on the first run. I haven't checked, but suspect, that because of the
number of `refs/jj` refs jj creates, it might always be better.
This is essentially a new version, which clarifies multiple statements about
`jj run`. Notably, it cleans up some mistakes which were overlooked or deemed
good enough in the Google Docs version.
This ticks another box in #1869.

https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/discussions/2230 indicates a lot of
interest in this, so we'd probably want to support this officially at
some point. Until then, document a script that has worked well-enough
for some of us.
I think the feature is requested by enough users that we should
include it by default, also for people who install from source (we
include it in the `packaging` feature already).
It increases the size of the binary from 16.5 MiB to 17.8 MiB. I
suspect we'd see some of that increase in size soon anyway, as I'm
probably going to use Tokio for making async backend requests.
Suppose "x::y" is the operator that defaults to "root()::visible_heads()"
respectively, "::" is identical to "all()". Since we've just changed the
behavior of "..y", ".." is now "root()..visible_heads()" meaning "~root()".
One action publishes the 'prerelease' version on every push
to `main`.
The other publishes a 'latest' version on every releasse.
I tested both of them, but not with branch protection rules.
I initially was thinking of using `mdbook`, which looks a little better, but I
think versioning the docs is important, and the features I want are pretty much
only supported by the Mkdocs' "Material" theme.
Mkdocs is written in Python. The prerequesites for building docs on your
machine should be to install Python and Poetry, everything else should be
installed automatically by Poetry. See the edits to `contributing.md` for more details.
This allows the tutorial to reference them and will make it
easier to have different instructions for different versions.
We can later restore some instructions to the README, but I
think this is important since the installation instructions
do change in important (even if slight) ways from time to
time.
