When we export branches to Git, we didn't update our own record of
Git's refs. This frequently led to spurious conflicts in these refs
(e.g. #463). This is typically what happened:
1. Import a branch pointing to commit A from Git
2. Modify the branch in jj to point to commit B
3. Export the branch to Git
4. Update the branch in Git to point to commit C
5. Import refs from Git
In step 3, we forgot to update our record of the branch in the repo
view's `git_refs` field. That led to the import in step 5 to think
that the branch moved from A to C in Git, which conflicts with the
internal branch target of B.
This commit fixes the bug by updating the refs in the `MutableRepo`.
Closes#463.
We had very little testing of the colocated case, so let's add a bit
more before I start working on this code in coming patches. This
includes a test for #463.
The whole file is about the colocated case, where we automatically
import and export on every command, so there should be no reason to
call `git import` here.
I was trying to create a reproduction script for #412, but the script
ran into another bug first. The script removed all the local and
remote branches from the backing Git repo. I noticed that we would
then try to abandon all commits. We should still count Git HEAD's
target as visible and not try to abandon it. This patch fixes that.
It can be confusing that some commits (typically the working copy)
don't have a description. Let's show a placeholder text in such cases.
I chose the format to match the "(no email configured)" message we
already have.
Since 57ba9a9409, if the automatic import from git results in some
abandoned commit, that information gets recorded in the `MutableRepo`,
but I forgot to add a call to rebase the descendants. That causes a
failed assertion at
81a8cfefcb/lib/src/transaction.rs (L86). This
patch add a test showing that failure.
When initializing a workspace that shares its working copy with a Git
repo (i.e. `jj init --git-repo=.`), we import refs and HEAD when
creating the `WorkspaceCommandHelper` (as we do for all commands when
the working copy is shared). That makes the explicit import we do in
`cmd_init()` unnecessary. It also makes the checkout of HEAD I added
for the fix of #102 unnecessary. More importantly, as @yuja reported
in #177, it makes the command crash (at least if the repo is small
enough that the two checkouts happen within a second). I think the
problem is that the second checkout tries to create the same commit
except that the Change ID is different (the problem is not the
predecessors as I speculated in the issue tracker). The fix is to
simply avoid doing the redundant work. We still need a proper fix for
#27 eventually.
Closes#177.
This patch adds a very simple e2e test of having a working copy shared
with Git. The test initially failed on Windows. The symptom was that
the "master" branch did not get updated when we create a commit using
`jj`. That suggested that we didn't correctly detect that the working
copy was shared. After a lot of troubleshooting, I think I mostly
understand what we going on here (thanks to @arxanas for suggesting
https://github.com/mxschmitt/action-tmate). The path we get from
`git2::Repository::workdir()` seems to not be canonicalized in the
same way as `std::fs::canonicalize()` canonicalizes. Specifically, it
does not have the "\\?\" prefix we get from that function. I suppose
that's because libgit2 is a C library and canonicalizes the path using
some other system call.
