Otherwise a file could be created out of the working copy directory.
This only works for untracked symlinks and sequentially "added" symlinks
and files. For "removed" and "modified" entries, the parent directories are
considered valid and fs::remove_file() will be called. This also doesn't
prevent race conditions caused by concurrent checkouts.
New create_parent_dirs() would be slightly slower than the original because
it traverses directories from the root whereas fs::create_dir_all() does that
from the leaf and exits when reached to a directory.
One advantage of our conflict marker style (compared to the usual
3-way markers) is that they provide the user with the diff between the
base and one side so the user doesn't have to do that in their head
(which is how I use 3-way markers anyway). However, since we currently
always use the "first" side for the diff, that diff can be larger than
if we had picked the other side, which makes the marker style worse
than the usual 3-way markers. This has bothered me many times and it's
about time we fix it.
The `CommitBuilder::store` field is used only in
`CommitBuilder::write_to_repo()`, but we can easily get access to the
`Store` from the `repo` argument there, so let's remove the field.
When rebasing commits after rewrites, we also update all workspaces'
checkouts. If the new commit is closed, we create a new commit on
top. Since we're hoping to remove the open/closed concept, we need a
new condition. I considered creating a new commit on top if the change
ID was different from before the rewrite. However, that would make at
least `jj split` more complicated because it makes the first commit
keep the change ID but it wants the second commit to be checked
out. This patch instead creates the new commit on top only when the
original commit was abandoned.
This patch makes us treat special files (e.g. Unix sockets) as absent
when snapshotting the working copy. We can consider later reporting
such files back to the caller (possibly via callback) so it can inform
the user about them.
Closes#258
If a commit's author field has the placeholder user/email values
(i.e. "(no name configured)" and "(no email configured)"), and they
have now configured their email and username, they probably want us to
update the author field with the new information, so that's what this
patch does. Thanks to durin42@ for the suggestion on #322.
We don't even have any settings that affect the repo, so there's no
point in passing the settings. I think this was a leftover from before
we separated out the "workspace" concept; now we no longer create a
working-copy commit when we initialize a repo (we do that when we
attach the workspace).
The request to show the log output with more recent commits at the
bottom comes up once in a while (among Mercurial users, and now also
for jj from @arxanas). It's pretty easy to implement by adding an
adapter to the current `RevsetGraphIterator`. It works by first
collecting all nodes and edges into a vector and then yielding them in
reverse order and with reversed edges. That means it's no longer lazy,
but that seems fine since the feature is optional. Also, it's only the
subset of nodes that are in the selected revset that will be
collected.
Making the CLI use the new iterator adapter will come in a later
patch.
I think I copied the name `write_tree()` from Git, but I find it quite
confusing, since it's not clear if it write a tree to the working copy
or reads the working copy and writes a tree to the store (it's the
former).
Now that I'm using GitHub PRs instead of pushing directly to the main
branch, it's quite annoying to have to abandon the old commits after
GitHub rebases them. This patch makes it so we compare the remote's
previous heads to the new heads and abandons any commits that were
removed on the remote. As usual, that means that descendants get
rebased onto the closest remaining commit.
This is half of #241. The other half is to detect rewritten branches
and rebase on top.
Let's say we have a simple history like this:
```
B C D
\|/
A
```
Branch `main` initially points to commit B. Two concurrent operations
then move the branch to commits C and D. When the two concurrent
operations get merged, the branch will be recorded as pointing to
"C+D-B". If a subsequent operation now abandons commit B, we would
update the "removed" side of the branch conflict. That seems a little
dishonest. I think the reason I did it that way was in order to not
keep B visible back when having it present in the "removed" side would
keep it visible (before 33bf6ce1d5).
I noticed this issue while working on #241 because
`test_import_refs_reimport()` started failing. That test case is
pretty much exactly the case above.
This patch makes room for sparse patterns in the `TreeState` proto
message. We also start setting that value to a list of just the
pattern `.` when we create new working copies. Old working copies
without the sparse patterns are also interpreted as having that single
pattern. Note that this absence of sparse patterns is different from a
present list of no patterns. The latter is a valid state and means
that no paths are included in the sparse checkout.
The `DescendantRebaser` keeps a map of branches from the source
commit, so it gets efficient lookup of branches to update when a
commit has been rebased. This map was not kept up to date as we
rebased. That could lead to branches getting left on hidden
intermediate commits. Specifically, if a commit with a branch was
rewritten by some command, and an ancestor of it was also rewritten,
then we'd only update the branch only the first step and not update it
again when rebasing onto the rewritten ancestor.
When a directory is missing in one merge input (base or one side), we
would consider that a merge conflict. This patch changes that so we
instead merge trees by treating the missing tree as empty.
This introduces a `connected(x)` function, which is simply the same as
`x:x`. It's occasionally useful if `x` is a long expression. It's also
useful as a building block for `root(x)` (coming soon).
We do it for all the other kinds of objects already. It's useful to
have the path for backends that store objects by path (we don't have
any such backends yet). I think the reason I didn't do it from the
beginning was because we had separate `RepoPath` types for files and
directories back then.
We depend on comparing the workspace root with the Git repo's path to
know if we're sharing the working copy with it. For that to work
reliably, we need the paths to be canonicalized, so that's what this
patch tries to do.
There was a TODO about adding a test case for a delete/modify conflict
in a branch target that got resolved by abandoning a commit. The
resolution is to delete the branch. That case couldn't happend with
our old evolution-based mechanism for tracking rewrites (because we
couldn't un-prune a commit then).
If we have recorded in `MutableRepo` that commits have been abandoned
or rewritten, we should always rebase descendants before committing
the transaction (otherwise there's no reason to record the
rewrites). That's not much of a risk in the CLI because we already
have that logic in a central place there (`finish_transaction()`), but
other users of the library crate could easily miss it. Perhaps we
should automatically do any necessary rebasing we commit the
transaction in the library crate instead, but for now let's just have
a check for that to catch such bugs.
It's unusual for the current commit to have descendants, but it can
happen. In particular, it can easily happen when you run `jj new`. You
probably don't want to abandon it in those cases.
The library crate shouldn't look up the user's `$HOME` directory
(maybe the library is used by a server process), so let's have the
caller pass it into the library crate instead.
We no longer need the commit ID, so we shouldn't make the callers pass
it. This lets us simplify several tests, because they no longer to
create commits just to check out a tree in the working copy.
We used to use the value to detect races, but we use the tree ID and
the operation ID these days, so we don't need the commit ID.
By changing this, we can avoid creating some commit IDs in tests,
which is why I tackled this issue now.
