For large repos, it's useful to be able to use shorter change id and
commit id prefixes by resolving the prefix in a limited subset of the
repo (typically the same subset that you'd want to see in your default
log output). For very large repos, like Google's internal one, the
shortest unique prefix evaluated within the whole repo is practically
useless because it's long enough that the user would want to copy and
paste it anyway.
Mercurial supports this with its `revisions.disambiguatewithin` config
(added in https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/rev/503f936489dd). I'd
like to add the same feature to jj. Mercurial's implementation works
by attempting to resolve the prefix in the whole repo and then, if the
prefix was ambiguous, it resolves it in the configured subset
instead. The advantage of doing it that way is that there's no extra
cost of resolving the revset defining the subset if the prefix was not
ambiguous within the whole repo. However, there are two important
reasons to do it differently in jj:
* We support very large repos using custom backends, and it's probably
cheaper to resolve a prefix within the subset because it can all be
cached on the client. Resolving the prefix within the whole repo
requires a roundtrip to the server.
* We want to be able to resolve change id prefixes, which is always
done in *some* revset. That revset is currently `all()`, i.e. all
visible commits. Even on local disk, it's probably cheaper to
resolve a small revset first and then resolve the prefix within that
than it is to build up the index of all visible change ids.
We could achieve the goal by letting each revset engine respect the
configured subset, but since the solution proposed above makes sense
also for local-disk repos, I think it's better to do it outside of the
revset engine, so all revset engines can share the code.
This commit prepares for the new functionality by moving the symbol
resolution out of `Index::evaluate_revset()`.
We want to allow customization of the revset engine, so it can query
server indexes, for example. The current revset implementation will be
our default implementation for now. What's left in the `revset` module
after this commit is mostly parsing code.
To be able to make e.g. `jj log some/path` perform well on cloud-based
repos, a custom revset engine needs to be able to see the paths to
filter by. That way it is able pass those to a server-side index. This
commit helps with that by effectively converting `jj log -r foo
some/path` into `jj log -r 'foo & file(some/path)'`.
The type doesn't seem to provide any benefit. I don't think I had a
good reason for creating it in the first place; it was probably just
unfamiliarity with Rust.
By separating the value spaces change ids and commit ids, we can
simplify lookup of a prefix. For example, if we know that a prefix is
for a change id, we don't have to try to find matching commit ids. I
think it might also help new users more quickly understand that change
ids are not commit ids.
This commit is a step towards that separation. It allows resolving
change ids by using hex digits from the back of the alphabet instead
of 0-f, so 'z'='0', 'y'='1', etc, and 'k'='f'. Thanks to @ilyagr for
the idea. The regular hex digits are still allowed.
Git's HEAD ref is similar to other refs and can logically have
conflicts just like the other refs in `git_refs`. As with the other
refs, it can happen if you run concurrent commands importing two
different updates from Git. So let's treat `git_head` the same as
`git_refs` by making it an `Option<RefTarget>`.
Add a new git.auto-local-branch config option. When set to false, a
remote-tracking branch imported from Git will not automatically create a
local branch target. This is implemented by a new GitSettings struct
that passes Git-related settings from UserSettings.
This behavior is particularly useful in a co-located jj and Git repo,
because a Git remote might have branches that are not of everyday
interest to the user, so it does not make sense to export them as local
branches in Git. E.g. https://github.com/gitster/git, the maintainer's
fork of Git, has 379 branches, most of which are topic branches kept
around for historical reasons, and Git developers wouldn't be expected
to have local branches for each remote-tracking branch.
I've preferred "working-copy commit" over "checkout" for a while
because I think it's clearer, but there were lots of places still
using "checkout". I've left "checkout" in places where it refers to
the action of updating the working copy or the working-copy commit.
- branches has the signature branches([needle]), meaning the needle is optional (branches() is equivalent to branches("")) and it matches all branches whose name contains needle as a substring
- remote_branches has the signature remote_branches([branch_needle[, remote_needle]]), meaning it can be called with no arguments, or one argument (in which case, it's similar to branches), or two arguments where the first argument matches branch names and the second argument matches remote names (similar to branches, remote_branches(), remote_branches("") and remote_branches("", "") are all equivalent)
We already have `create_random_commit()`, which returns a
`CommitBuilder`. Most callers directly write that to a
`MutableRepo`. That currently returns a `Commit`, but I'm about to
make it propagate errors from the backend. That would add an
`unwrap()` to this sequence, making it longer. Let's create a simple
helper for these callers to simplify this common pattern.
When you're done with the `CommitBuilder`, you're going to have to
call `write_to_repo()`, passing it a mutable `MutableRepo`
reference. It's a bit simpler to pass that reference when we create
the `CommitBuilder` instead, so that's what this patch does.
A drawback of passing in the mutable reference when we create the
builder is that we can't have multiple unfinished `CommitBuilder`
instance live at the same time. We don't have any such use cases yet,
and it's not hard to work around them, so I think this change is worth
it.
The next commit will introduce a newtype for -m/--message argument which
can be converted Into<String>.
Since CommitBuilder is a thin wrapper, code bloat caused by generic parameters
wouldn't matter. I have another set of commits that makes all builder methods
accept Into/IntoIterator, which will remove some of .clone() calls from tests.
I ran an upgraded Clippy on the codebase. All the changes seem to be
about using variables directly in format strings instead of passing
them as separate arguments.
This basically transforms 's1 & (f() | s2)' to
's1.iter().filter(all && f || s2)'. Still the predicate part includes "all",
the filter function doesn't need to load commit data for every entry since
's1.iter().filter(all)' is tested first. To optimize "all" predicate out,
maybe we can add a wrapper that returns '|_: &IndexEntry| true'.
Instead of inserting AsFilter(_) node, I could add a recursive is_filter()
function. That would also work so long as the height of RevsetExpression tree
is limited. I chose node insertion just for ease of snapshot testing.
Because a unary negation node '~y' is more primitive than the corresponding
difference node 'x~y', '~y' is easier to deal with while rewriting the tree.
That's the main reason to add RevsetExpression::NotIn node.
As we have a NotIn node, it makes sense to add an operator for that. This
patch reuses '~' token, which I feel intuitive since the other set operators
looks like bitwise ops. Another option is '!'.
The unary '~' operator has the highest precedence among the set operators,
but they are lower than the ranges. This might be counter intuitive, but
useful because a prefix range ':x' can be negated without parens.
Maybe we can remove the redundant infix operator 'x ~ y', but it isn't
decided yet.
Let's acknowledge everyone's contributions by replacing "Google LLC"
in the copyright header by "The Jujutsu Authors". If I understand
correctly, it won't have any legal effect, but maybe it still helps
reduce concerns from contributors (though I haven't heard any
concerns).
Google employees can read about Google's policy at
go/releasing/contributions#copyright.
Follows up c5ed3e1477. Now change/commit ids are resolved at the same
precedence, which means there are at least three types of ambiguity.
I don't think we would need to discriminate these.
Because the use of the change id is recommended, any operation should abort
if a valid change id happens to match a commit id. We still try the commit
id lookup first as the change id lookup is more costly.
Ambiguous change/commit id is reported as AmbiguousCommitIdPrefix for now.
Maybe we can merge AmbiguousCommit/ChangeIdPrefix errors into one?
Closes#799
The CLI will load aliases from config, insert them one by one, and warn if
declaration part is invalid. That's why RevsetAliasesMap is a public struct
and needs to be instantiated by the caller.
The expression 'x ~ empty()' is identical to 'x & file(".")', but more
intuitive.
Note that 'x ~ empty()' is slower than 'x & file(".")' since the negative
intersection isn't optimized right now. I think that can be handled as
follows: 'x ~ filter(f)' -> 'x & filter(!f)' -> 'filter(!f, x)'
We currently get the hostname and username from the `whoami` crate. We
do that in lib crate, without giving the caller a way to override
them. That seems wrong since it might be used in a server and
performing operations on behalf of some other user. This commit makes
the hostname and username configurable, so the calling crate can pass
them in. If they have not been passed in, we still default to the
values from the `whoami` crate.
These calls often appear in expressions long enough that not having to
qualify it means that we can sometimes avoid wrapping a line. I
noticed because IntelliJ told me that `test_git.rs` had some
unnecessary qualificiations (the function was already imported there).
The `testutils` module should ideally not be part of the library
dependencies. Since they're used by the integration tests (and the CLI
tests), we need to move them to a separate crate to achieve that.
Since 'merges()' just filters the candidates set per item, it doesn't need
a candidates argument. Perhaps, 'merges(x)' could be a predicate to select
merge commits within a subgraph 'x', but I don't know if that would be
useful.
More workspace-derived parameters will be added, and I don't think wrapping
with Option for each makes sense because all parameters should be available
if workspace exists.
