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.
`vimtabdiff` has a few potential advantages:
- It can be much more convenient for diffs with few files
- It can be easier to set up for some people (it is a Python script rather
than a Vim plugin).
- The author accepts patches, and I hope to make it support 3-pane diff.
The pros and cons are also described in the linked Gist.
That is, jj will use ui.default_description as a starting point when
user is about to describe an empty change.
I think it might be confusing to do this with -m / --stdin (violates
WYSIWYG), so I'm only doing this when jj invokes an editor.
Also, this could evolve into a proper template in the future instead of
just plain text, to allow inheriting from parent change(s), for example.
Partially addresses #1354.
This could be a "ui.diff.format" variant, but we would need to solve namespace
problem by prefixing "tool:<name>" for example. Then, inlining command arguments
would become uglier.
#1886
This is basic implementation. There's no config knob to enable the external
diff command by default. It reuses the merge-tools table because that's how
external diff/merge commands are currently configured. We might want to
reorganize them in #1285.
If you run "jj diff --tool meld", GUI diff will open and jj will wait for
meld to quit. This also applies to "jj log -p". The "diff --tool gui" behavior
is somewhat useful, but "log -p --tool gui" wouldn't. We might want some flag
to mark the tool output can't be streamed.
Another thing to consider is tools that can't generate directory diffs. Git
executes ext-diff tool per file, but we don't. Difftastic can compare
directories, and doing that should be more efficient since diffs can be
computed in parallel (at the expense of unsorted output.)
Closes#1886
The `--allow-large-revsets` flag we have on `jj rebase` and `jj new`
allows the user to do e.g. `jj rebase --allow-large-revsets -b
main.. -d main` to rebase all commits that are not in main onto
main. The reason we don't allow these revsets to resolve to multiple
commits by default is that we think users might specify multiple
commits by mistake. That's probably not much of a problem with `jj
rebase -b` (maybe we should always allow that to resolve to multiple
commits), but the user might want to know if `jj rebase -d @-`
resolves to multiple commits.
One problem with having a flag to allow multiple commits is that it
needs to be added to every command where we want to allow multiple
commits but default to one. Also, it should probably apply to each
revset argument those commands take. For example, even if the user
meant `-b main..` to resolve to multiple commits, they might not have
meant `-d main` to resolve to multiple commits (which it will in case
of a conflicted branch), so we might want separate
`--allow-large-revsets-in-destination` and
`--allow-large-revsets-in-source`, which gets quite cumbersome. It
seems better to have some syntax in the individual revsets for saying
that multiple commits are allowed.
One proposal I had was to use a `multiple()` revset function which
would have no effect in general but would be used as a marker if used
at the top level (e.g. `jj rebase -d 'multiple(@-)'`). After some
discussion on the PR adding that function (#1911), it seems that the
consensus is to instead use a prefix like `many:` or `all:`. That
avoids the problem with having a function that has no effect unless
it's used at the top level (`jj rebase -d 'multiple(x)|y'` would have
no effect).
Since we already have the `:` operator for DAG ranges, we need to
change it to make room for `many:`/`all:` syntax. This commit starts
that by allowing both `:` and `::`.
I have tried to update the documentation in this commit to either
mention both forms, or just the new and preferred `::` form. However,
it's useless to search for `:` in Rust code, so I'm sure I've missed
many instances. We'll have to address those as we notice them. I'll
let most tests use `:` until we deprecate it or delete it.
This adds a config called `revsets.short-prefixes`, which lets the
user specify a revset in which to disambiguate otherwise ambiguous
change/commit ids. It defaults to the value of `revsets.log`.
I made it so you can disable the feature by setting
`revsets.short-prefixes = ""`. I don't like that the default value
(using `revsets.log`) cannot be configured explicitly by the
user. That will be addressed if we decide to merge the `[revsets]` and
`[revset-aliases]` sections some day.
I plan to add `revsets.short-prefixes` and `revsets.immutable` soon,
and I think `[revsets]` seems like reasonable place to put them. It
seems consistent with our `[templates]` section. However, it also
suffers from the same problem as that section, which is that the
difference between `[templates]` and `[template-aliases]` is not
clear. We can decide about about templates and revsets later.
This is a convenience optimization to improve the default user
experience, since `jj log` is a frequently run command. Accessing the
help information explicitly still follows normal CLI conventions, and
instructions are displayed appropriately if the user happens to make a
mistake. Discoverability should not be adversely harmed.
Note that this behavior mirrors what Sapling does [2], where `sl` will
display the smartlog by default.

Unlike Mercurial, this isn't a template keyword/function, but a config knob.
Exposing graph_width to templater wouldn't be easy, and I don't think it's
better to handle terminal wrapping in template.
I'm not sure if patch content should be wrapped, so this option only applies
to the template output for now.
Closes#1043
This eliminates ambiguous parsing between "func()" and "expr ()".
I chose "++" as template concatenation operator in case we want to add
bit-wise negate operator. It's also easier to find/replace than "~".
The outermost "op-log" label isn't moved to the default template. I think
it belongs to the command's formatter rather than the template.
Old bikeshedding items:
- "current_head", "is_head", or "is_head_op"
=> renamed to "current_operation"
- "templates.op-log" vs "templates.op_log" (the whole template is labeled
as "op-log")
=> renamed to "op_log"
- "template-aliases.'format_operation_duration(time_range)'"
=> renamed to 'format_time_range(time_range)'
Now that we use headers to define `[template-aliases]`, I thought we should explain how they are also equivalent to dotted keys.
Alternatively, we could rewrite them all in the dotted style, but it would look awkward.
I'm going to remove the corresponding config knobs.
As an example of "brackets" short id, I put a simplified version. It's
unlikely that the "rest()" gets empty for hashes of 12-char long.
Supported values are,
- `none` for no author information,
- `full` for both the name and email,
- `name` for just the name,
- `username` for username part of the email,
- (default) `email` (or any other gibberish for that matter) for the full email.
For stock merge-tools, having name -> args indirection makes sense. For
user-specific settings, it's simpler to set command name and arguments
together.
It might be a bit odd that "name with whitespace" can be parsed differently
depending on the existence of merge-tools."name with whitespace".
