When we abandon a working-copy commit, we create a new working-copy
commit on top. This behave is very useful, but it's not obvious. Let's
document it.
Thankfully, 2bbefcc338 (rewrite: default to not simplifying ancestor
merges) means that there are much fewer commands where we need to
document this behavior.
There are two major goals:
* provide typo hints in a similar way to revset
* make methods extensible
The created method table is bound to the 'repo lifetime because of the problem
described in the inline comment. It would be nice if we can build cachable
core method table for<'repo> CommitTemplateLanguage<'repo, '_>, but I couldn't
figure out how.
Add an option to list tracked branches only
This option keeps most of the current `--all` printing logic, but:
- Omits local Git-tracking branches by default (can be extended to
support filtering by remote).
- Skip over the branch altogether if it doesn't contain tracked remotes
- Don't print the untracked_remote_refs at the end
Usage:
`jj branch list -t`
`jj branch list --tracked`
`jj branch list --tracked <branch name>`
I think the user usually wants to abandon only newly empty commits. I
think they should use `jj abandon` if they want to get rid of already
empty commits. By keeping already empty commits, we don't need to
special-case the working copy and merge commits.
This allows us to call alias function with the top-level object.
For convenience, all self.<method>()s are available as keywords. I don't think
we'll want to deprecate them. It would be tedious if we had to specify
-T'self.commit_id()' instead of -Tcommit_id.
If I remember correctly, wrap_fn() was added to help type inference. It no
longer makes sense because the type is coerced by TemplateFunction::new()
and language.wrap_*().
The description of `jj diff` was lost in commit b5e4e670. We later got
a short description for it in b5e4e670. This patch restores the
original description.
This eliminates the separate keywords table. All keywords are resolved through
the pseudo "self" property. Maybe we'll add "self" keyword/variable later.
This is copied from the commit templater. I'm going to extract the "self"
property handling to the core template builder, and build_keyword() methods
will be replaced with that.
The default immutable_heads() includes tags(), which makes sense, but computing
heads(tags()) can be expensive because the tags() set is usually sparse. For
example, "jj bench revset 'heads(tags())'" took 157ms in my linux stable
mirror. We can of course optimize the heads evaluation by using bit set or
segmented index, but the query includes many historical heads if the repository
has per-release branches, which are uninteresting anyway. So, this patch
replaces heads(immutable_heads()) with trunk().
The reason we include heads(immutable_heads()) is to mitigate the following
problem. Suppose trunk() is the branch to be based off, I think using trunk()
here is pretty good.
```
A B
*---*----* trunk() ⊆ immutable_heads()
\
* C

It should be useful at least in the presentation layer to know which
operations correspond to working-copy snapshots. They might be
rendered differently in the graph, for example. Or maybe an undo
command wants to warn if you just undid a snapshot operation. This
patch just introduces a field in the metadata to store the
information.
I think I prefer this behavior because it's less lossy. The user can
manually simplify the history with `jj rebase -s <merge commit> -d
<one of the parents>` afterwards. We can roll this change back later
if we find it annoying.
I think the conclusion from #2600 is that at least auto-rebasing
should not simplify merge commits that merge a commit with its
ancestor. Let's start by adding an option for that in the library.
`graphlog::Edge` is used somewhat inconsistently. I've replaced `Edge::Present`
with two distinct `Edge::Direct` and `Edge::Indirect` which simplifies the
construction of the enum.
The legacy parsing rules are turned into compatibility errors. The x:y rule
is temporarily enabled when parsing string patterns. It's weird, but we can't
isolate the parsing function because a string pattern may be defined in an
alias.
This adds a config to render a synthetic node with a "(elided
revisions)" description for elided segments of the graph.
I didn't add any templating support for the elided nodes because I'm
not sure how we would want that to work. In particular, I don't know
what `commit_id` and most other keywords should return for elided
revisions.
Users who edit non-head commits usually expect `jj next/prev` to
continue to edit the next/previous commit, so let's make that the
default behavior. This should not confuse users who don't edit
non-head commits since they will simply not be in this state. My main
concern is that doing `jj next; jj prev` will now usually take you
back to the previous commit, but not if you started on the parent of a
head commit.

Since we've added parsing rules for operator expressions, it makes sense to
parse unary '-' as operator.
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".
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'.
