I was a bit surprised to learn (or be reminded?) that checking out
symlinks on Windows leads to a panic. This patch fixes the crash by
materializing symlinks from the repo as regular files. It also updates
the snapshotting code so we preserve the symlink-ness of a path. The
user can update the symlink in the repo by updating the regular file
in the working copy. This seems to match Git's behavior on Windows
when symlinks are disabled.
The `write_path_to_store()` has almost no overlapping code between the
handling of symlinks and regular files, which suggests that we should
move out the handling of symlinks to the caller (there's only one).
If the operation corresponding to a workspace is missing for some reason
(the specific situation in the test in this commit is that an operation
was abandoned and garbage-collected from another workspace), currently,
jj fails with a 255 error code. Teach jj a way to recover from this
situation.
When jj detects such a situation, it prints a message and stops
operation, similar to when a workspace is stale. The message tells the
user what command to run.
When that command is run, jj loads the repo at the @ operation (instead
of the operation of the workspace), creates a new commit on the @
commit with an empty tree, and then proceeds as usual - in particular,
including the auto-snapshotting of the working tree, which creates
another commit that obsoletes the newly created commit.
There are several design points I considered.
1) Whether the recovery should be automatic, or (as in this commit)
manual in that the user should be prompted to run a command. The user
might prefer to recover in another way (e.g. by simply deleting the
workspace) and this situation is (hopefully) rare enough that I think
it's better to prompt the user.
2) Which command the user should be prompted to run (and thus, which
command should be taught to perform the recovery). I chose "workspace
update-stale" because the circumstances are very similar to it: it's
symptom is that the regular jj operation is blocked somewhere at the
beginning, and "workspace update-stale" already does some special work
before the blockage (this commit adds more of such special work). But it
might be better for something more explicitly named, or even a sequence
of commands (e.g. "create a new operation that becomes @ that no
workspace points to", "low-level command that makes a workspace point to
the operation @") but I can see how this can be unnecessarily confusing
for the user.
3) How we recover. I can think of several ways:
a) Always create a commit, and allow the automatic snapshotting to
create another commit that obsoletes this commit.
b) Create a commit but somehow teach the automatic snapshotting to
replace the created commit in-place (so it has no predecessor, as viewed
in "obslog").
c) Do either a) or b), with the added improvement that if there is no
diff between the newly created commit and the former @, to behave as if
no new commit was created (@ remains as the former @).
I chose a) since it was the simplest and most easily reasoned about,
which I think is the best way to go when recovering from a rare
situation.
A subsequent commit will need to handle the return value of
check_stale_working_copy() in 3 different ways, so a boolean will soon
not be sufficient. In preparation for that, inline is_stale() into its
caller, converting it into a "match".
Apparently this previously-beta markdown syntax from GitHub "graduated" to a
full feature in such a way that it it actually regressed in features, so doing
this `[!WARNING]` inline inside of a list is no longer valid. Sigh. Scoot it
up a level in the document, and just make it part of the section and not inside
the list.

These operator symbols are different from the ones in the revset language. I
have no idea if we need bitwise operators, but we'll probably add comparison
operators. It would look weird if 'x == y & z' were parsed as '(x == y) & z'.
We want to avoid conflicts of interest (both real and
apparent). Better to document this before it happens.
By the way, Ilya and I both work for Google and we have approved lots
of each others' PRs, but we work in very different parts of the
company and I don't think any of the PRs have been specific to
Google's interests.
this greatly speeds up the time to run all tests, at the cost of slightly larger recompile times for individual tests.
this unfortunately adds the requirement that all tests are listed in `runner.rs` for the crate.
to avoid forgetting, i've added a new test that ensures the directory is in sync with the file.
## benchmarks
before this change, recompiling all tests took 32-50 seconds and running a single test took 3.5 seconds:
```
; hyperfine 'touch lib/src/lib.rs && cargo t --test test_working_copy'
Time (mean ± σ): 3.543 s ± 0.168 s [User: 2.597 s, System: 1.262 s]
Range (min … max): 3.400 s … 3.847 s 10 runs
```
after this change, recompiling all tests take 4 seconds:
```
; hyperfine 'touch lib/src/lib.rs ; cargo t --test runner --no-run'
Time (mean ± σ): 4.055 s ± 0.123 s [User: 3.591 s, System: 1.593 s]
Range (min … max): 3.804 s … 4.159 s 10 runs
```
and running a single test takes about the same:
```
; hyperfine 'touch lib/src/lib.rs && cargo t --test runner -- test_working_copy'
Time (mean ± σ): 4.129 s ± 0.120 s [User: 3.636 s, System: 1.593 s]
Range (min … max): 3.933 s … 4.346 s 10 runs
```
about 1.4 seconds of that is the time for the runner, of which .4 is the time for the linker. so
there may be room for further improving the times.
Mostly, I was a bit confused that some of these functions return a
`TrackingRefPair` but don't seem to take into account whether the remote
branch is being tracked or not.
It tries to push all deleted branches, but can only succeed for tracked
branches.
Closes#2946, as there's probably no need to have `--deleted --tracked`
that would only be different in that the warnings wouldn't be printed.
Thanks to @yuja for pointing this out.
Our virtual file system at Google (CitC) would like to know the commit
so it can scan backwards and find the closest mainline tree based on
it. Since we always record an operation id (which resolves to a
working-copy commit) when we write the working-copy state, it doesn't
seem like a restriction to require a commit.
When the user doesn't have a configured default command, we show a
hint saying to set `ui.default-command`. I think the user is very
likely to want to set that in the user-wide config, so let's include
the command in the hint.
I'll probably add infix logical operators later, but the surround() function
is still useful because we don't have to repeat the condition:
if(x || y, "<" ++ separate(" ", x, y) ++ ">")
surround("<", ">", separate(" ", x, y))
It can't be used if we want to add placeholder text, though:
if(x || y, "<" ++ separate(" ", x, y) ++ ">", "(none)")
Closes#2924
This reimplements the change 9faa4670d5 "cli: on init, import git refs prior
to importing HEAD." Initialization is special because the HEAD ref isn't
available to jj yet, and there is an empty working-copy commit.
The initialization function could be refactored to go through the common code
path, but I think doing that would make future improvement harder. We might
want to initialize tracking branches based on .git/config for example.
Fixes#2942
This initializes a git backed repo.
* It does the same thing as `jj init --git` except that it
has a --colocated flag to explicitly specify that we want
the .git repo to be side-by-side the .jj repo in the working
directory.
* `jj init --git` will keep the current behaviour and will not
be able to create colocated git backed repos.
* Update test snapshots.
A few minor updates after 0f27152 AKA #2945
Specifically, I tried to change the help text so that it looks better as
Markdown. I also reworded the deprecation warning and added a hint.
this has two main advantages:
- it makes it clear that the shells are mutually exclusive
- it allows us to extend the command with shell-specific options in the future if necessary
as a happy accident, it also adds support for `elvish` and `powershell`.
for backwards compatibility, this also keeps the existing options as hidden flags.
i am not super happy with how the new help looks; the instructions for setting up the shell are
squished together and IMO a little harder to read. i'm open to suggestions.
it's somewhat confusing to me that the `--bash` flag exists at all, since it does nothing - maybe it makes sense to give a hard error? or just remove the flag?
but in any case, it seems good to document the existing behavior.
previously, `jj diff` would show the full contents of binary files such as images.
after this change, it instead shows "(binary)". it still shows the filename and metadata so that
users can open the file in the viewer of their choce.
future work could involve showing binary files as Sixel or similar; finding a way to compare large
non-binary files without filling up the screen; or extending the data backends to avoid having to
read the whole file contents into memory.
Previously, `jj git push; jj git push` would tell the user that "No
branches point to the specified revisions.". I found this confusing,
even though strictly speaking it is correct (as the default revset only
considers revisions that haven't been pushed to the remote).
Closes#2241
