Since per-repo config may contain CLI settings, it must be visible to CLI.
Therefore, UserSettings::with_repo() -> RepoSettings isn't used, and its
implementation is nullified by this commit.
#616
After I changed `merge-tools.vimdiff.program` to `vim`, using
`vimdiff` as a diff editor wouldn't work at all.
Out of the box, it's still not a good experience. I included a
recommendation of a plugin to install to make it better.
It can be confusing that the lib crate is not tested when you run
`cargo test` without `--workspace` from the root directory. Also,
`nextest` is a non-obvious quality-of-life improvement, so let's
suggest that.
When importing `conflicts.md` into the Google repo, our internal tools
complained that it contained conflict markers. Similarly, if you ever
get an actual merge conflict in the file, the working-copy
snapshotting would parse our sample conflict markers here, forcing you
to work around it. Let's avoid that by indenting the conflict
markers. Hopefully readers will understand that the leading space is
not part of the markers.
When a workspace's working-copy commit is updated from another
workspace, the workspace becomes "stale". That means that the working
copy on disk doesn't represent the commit that the repo's view says it
should. In this state, we currently automatically it to the desired
commit next time the user runs any command in the workspace. That can
be undesirable e.g. if the user had a slow build or test run started
in the working copy. It can also be surprising that a checkout happens
when the user ran a seemingly readonly command like `jj status`.
This patch makes most commands instead error out if the working copy
is stale, and adds a `jj workspace update-stale` to update it. The
user can still run commands with `--no-commit-working-copy` in this
state (doing e.g. `jj --no-commit-working-copy rebase -r @ -d @--` is
another way of getting into the stale-working-copy state, by the way).
As dbarnett@ reported on #9, our default of `less`, combined with our
default of enabling color on TTYs, means that we print ANSI codes to
`less` by default. Unless the user has set e.g. `$LESS=R`, `less` is
going to escape those codes, resulting in garbage like this:
```
@ ESC[1;35mbb39c26a29feESC[0m ESC[1;33m(no email configured)ESC[0m ESC[1;36m2022-12-03....
```
I guess most of us didn't notice because we have something like
`$LESS=FRX` set.
This patch changes our default from `less` to `less -FRX`. Those are
the flags we're using for our internal hg distribution at Google, and
that has seemed quite uncontroversial.
I added a pointer from the changelog to the tracking issue while at
it.
It should be more reliable than parsing a command string into array.
Also updated some of the doc example to use array syntax. I don't think
"C:/Program Files" was parsed properly, but might work thanks to Windows
magic.
Teach Ui's writing functions to write to a pager without touching the
process's file descriptors. This is done by introducing UiOutput::Paged,
which spawns a pager that Ui's functions can write to.
The pager program can be chosen via `ui.pager`. (defaults to Defaults to
$PAGER, and 'less' if that is unset (falling back to 'less' also makes
the tests pass).
Currently, commands are paginated if:
- they have "long" output (as defined by jj developers)
- jj is invoked in a terminal
The next commit will allow pagination to be turned off via a CLI option.
More complex pagination toggling (e.g. showing a pager even if the
output doesn't look like a terminal, using a pager for shorter ouput) is
left for a future PR.
Because a unary negation node '~y' is more primitive than the corresponding
difference node 'x~y', '~y' is easier to deal with while rewriting the tree.
That's the main reason to add RevsetExpression::NotIn node.
As we have a NotIn node, it makes sense to add an operator for that. This
patch reuses '~' token, which I feel intuitive since the other set operators
looks like bitwise ops. Another option is '!'.
The unary '~' operator has the highest precedence among the set operators,
but they are lower than the ranges. This might be counter intuitive, but
useful because a prefix range ':x' can be negated without parens.
Maybe we can remove the redundant infix operator 'x ~ y', but it isn't
decided yet.
Function parameters are processed as local symbols while substituting
alias expression. This isn't as efficient as Mercurial which caches
a tree of fully-expanded function template, but that wouldn't matter in
practice.
Because the use of the change id is recommended, any operation should abort
if a valid change id happens to match a commit id. We still try the commit
id lookup first as the change id lookup is more costly.
Ambiguous change/commit id is reported as AmbiguousCommitIdPrefix for now.
Maybe we can merge AmbiguousCommit/ChangeIdPrefix errors into one?
Closes#799
Aliases are loaded at WorkspaceCommandHelper::new() as it's easier to warn
invalid declarations there. Not all commands use revsets, but many do, so
I think it's okay to always pay the loading cost. Parsing the declaration
part (i.e. a symbol) should be fast anyway.
The nested error message isn't super readable, but seems good enough.
Config syntax to bikeshed:
- naming: [revset-alias] vs [revset-aliases] ?
- function alias will need quotes: 'f(x)' = 'x'
The expression 'x ~ empty()' is identical to 'x & file(".")', but more
intuitive.
Note that 'x ~ empty()' is slower than 'x & file(".")' since the negative
intersection isn't optimized right now. I think that can be handled as
follows: 'x ~ filter(f)' -> 'x & filter(!f)' -> 'filter(!f, x)'
We have talked about showing the commit ID only for divergent changes
because it's generally easier to work with the change ID, and it's
less likely to result in a divergent change. However, it's useful to
have the commit ID available for pasting into e.g. a commit message or
the GitHub UI. To try to steer users towards using the change ID, this
commit moves the commit ID off to the right in the log output.
I put it just after the "divergent" field, because that makes it close
to how I imagine it would look if we decided to hide the commit ID
except for divergent changes. I was thinking that could be rendered as
"divergent (abc123)". So if we add config to hide the commit ID, then
it would be rendered almost the same for divergent commits (just with
the added parentheses). It would also make sense to replace the
"divergent" field by a question mark on the change ID, since change
IDs basically behave like branches. If we do that, then the placement
of the commit ID I picked in this commit does not make sense.
Given how easy this was, I can't believe I didn't make the change
sooner.
I haven't updated the screenshots in the readme because I plan to make
some further changes to the default template. I'll update them after
those changes.
It's useful to know when you've modified a branch that exists on a
remote. A typical case is when you have pushed a branch to a remote
and then rewritten it. This commit adds an indication in the
`branches` template keyword. A branch that needs to be pushed to a
remote now has a `*` at the end (similar to how conflicted branches
have a `?` at the end). Note that the indication only considers
remotes where the branch currently exists, so there won't be an
indication that the branch has not been pushed to a remote.
Closes#254
Unfortunately, TOML requires quotes around the argument. So, the
usage is `jj --config-toml ui.color=\"always\"` in bash. The plan is
to eventually have a `--config` option with simpler syntax for
simple cases.
As discussed in https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/discussions/688.
Since 'merges()' just filters the candidates set per item, it doesn't need
a candidates argument. Perhaps, 'merges(x)' could be a predicate to select
merge commits within a subgraph 'x', but I don't know if that would be
useful.
I feel the original -------/+++++++ pair is slightly confusing because
each half can be a separator by itself. I don't know what character other
than '-'/'+' is preferred, but let's pick '%' (for "mod") per @martinvonz
suggestion.
We have supported multiple workspaces for six months now, but I forgot
to remove a note in the revset doc saying that we don't support
it. Also update the text to descibe how to refer to the working-copy
commit in another workspace.
We have had support for workspaces for six months, but I forgot to
update the documentation.
This just adds some basic documentation; we can add more later.
