We need to let async-ness propagate up from the backend because
`block_on()` doesn't like to be called recursively. The conflict
materialization code is a good place to make async because it doesn't
depends on anything that isn't already async-ready.
This makes `Workspace::load()` look a new `.jj/working_copy/type` file
in order to load the right working copy implementation, just like
`Repo::load()` picks the right backends based on `.jj/store/type`,
`.jj/op_store/type`, etc. We don't write the file yet, and we don't
have a way of adding alternative working copy implementations, so it
will always be `LocalWorkingCopy` for now.
Our internal working copy implementations at Google will need the
commit so they can walk history backwards until they get to a "public"
commit. They'll then use that to tell build tools and virtual file
systems to present that as a base.
I'm not sure if we'll need to update `reset()` too. It's currently
only used by `jj untrack`, which doesn't change the commit's parent,
so it wouldn't affect any history walks.
It's going to be easier to define a `LockedWorkingCopy` trait if it
doesn't need to borrow from `WorkingCopy`, so let's remove the
reference we currently have and have
`LockedLocalWorkingCopy::finish()` return the new `LocalWorkingCopy`
instead.
I think the main disadvantage is that we now have to remember to
replace the old `LocalWorkingCopy` instance by the new one, whereas
the compiler would remind us before this commit. We could make
`start_modification()` take an owned `self`, but that would be a bit
annoying to work with when we have the instance stored in a field.
`LocalWorkingCopy::check_out()` can be expressed using the planned
`WorkingCopy` trait, so it doesn't need to be in the trait itself
`WorkingCopy`. I wasn't sure if I should make it a free function in
`working_copy`, but I ended up moving it onto `Workspace`.
It seems pretty clear from the context. Turns out we only use the
function in a test case. Maybe we don't even need it. It's easy to
provide it, though.
The `TreeStateError` type is specific to the current local-disk
working-copy backend, so it should not be part of the generic
working-copy interface I'm trying to create.
I think some of the errors variants in `CheckoutError` are too
specific to the local-disk implementation. Let's merge them and make
them less specific, so it's easier to define a reasonable trait for
the working copy.
This effectively undoes d8a313cdd4, which is no longer needed since
we just changed that error handling. It should make it easier to share
some of the current if/else blocks.
Before this patch, when updating to a commit that has a file that's
currently an ignored file on disk, jj would crash. After this patch,
we instead leave the conflicting files or directories on disk. We
print a helpful message about how to inspect the differences between
the intended working copy and the actual working copy, and how to
discard the unintended changes.
Closes#976.
I'm about to add handling of parent dirs that are existing ignored
files, so it's better to have it in one place. The only functional
difference should be that we now create parent directories for git
submodules. I don't think that matters.
It's about time we make the working copy a pluggable backend like we
have for the other storage. We will use it at Google for at least two
reasons:
* To support our virtual file system. That will be a completely
separate working copy backend, which will interact with the virtual
file system to update and snapshot the working copy.
* On local disk, we need to tell our build system where to find the
paths that are not in the sparse patterns. We plan to do that by
wrapping the standard local working copy backend (the one moved in
this commit), writing a symlink that points to the mainline commit
where the "background" files can be read from.
Let's start by renaming the exising implementation to
`local_working_copy`.
