This means that the commits previously pinned by remote branches are no longer
abandoned. I think that's more correct since "push" is the operation to
propagate local view to remote, and uninteresting commits should have been
locally abandoned.
Since pushed remote branches will share the common base targets with locals,
these branches should be marked as tracking. git::push_branches() will handle
that. It looks ugly that the public GitBranchPushTargets type keeps "force"-d
branches as a separate set, but we'll need to rework that anyway when we
implement --force-with-lease behavior. So let's leave it for now.
Some of the git::push_updates() tests have been migrated to the new function.
I left a couple of basic tests for git::push_updates() because push_updates()
will be used to implement a low-level "jj git push-refs" command.
I made import_refs() not preserve commits referenced by remote branches at
520f692a46 "git: on import_refs(), don't preserve old branches referenced by
remote refs." The idea is that remote branches are weak, and commits referenced
by these refs can be freely rewritten by future local changes without moving
the refs. I don't think that's wrong, but 520f692a46 also made "new" remote
changes be abandoned by old remote refs. This problem occurs only when
git.auto-local-branch is off.
I think there are two ways to fix the problem:
a. pin non-tracking remote branches just like local refs
b. pin newly fetched refs in addition to local refs
This patch implements (b) because it's simpler and more obvious that the
fetched commits would never be abandoned immediately.
`ReadonlyRepo::init()` takes callbacks for initializing each kind of
backend. We called these things like `op_store_initializer`. I found
that confusing because it is not a `OpStoreFactory` (which is for
loading an existing backend). This patch tries to clarify that by
renaming the arguments and adding types for each kind of callback
function.
The state field isn't saved yet. git import/export code paths are migrated,
but new tracking state is always calculated based on git.auto-local-branch
setting. So the tracking state is effectively a global flag.
As we don't know whether the existing remote branches have been merged in to
local branches, we assume that remote branches are "tracking" so long as the
local counterparts exist. This means existing locally-deleted branch won't
be pushed without re-tracking it. I think it's rare to leave locally-deleted
branches for long. For "git.auto-local-branch = false" setup, users might have
to untrack branches if they've manually "merged" remote branches and want to
continue that workflow. I considered using git.auto-local-branch setting in the
migration path, but I don't think that would give a better result. The setting
may be toggled after the branches got merged, and I'm planning to change it
default off for better Git interop.
Implementation-wise, the state enum can be a simple bool. It's enum just
because I originally considered to pack "forgotten" concept into it. I have
no idea which will be better for future extension.
Since set_remote_branch_target() is called while merging refs, its tracking
state shouldn't be reinitialized. The other callers are migrated to new setter
to keep the story simple.
This isn't important, but I'm going to change remote_targets to store RemoteRef
instead of RefTarget, so I went ahead and change the other field types as well.
There's a subtle behavior change. Unlike the original remove_remote_branch(),
remote_views entry is not discarded when the branches map becomes empty. The
reasoning here is that the remote view can be added/removed when the remote
is added/removed respectively, though that's not implemented yet. Since the
serialized data cannot represent an empty remote, such view may generate
non-unique content hash.
get_branch() would need to reconstruct the remote_targets map if we migrate
the underlying data structure to per-remote views. Let's remove the method as
it is only used in tests.
I've added a boolean flag to the store to ensure that the migration never runs
more than once after the view gets "op restore"-d. I'll probably reorganize the
branches structure to support non-tracking branches later, but updating the
storage format in a single commit would be too involved.
If jj is downgraded, these "git" remote refs would be exported to the Git repo.
Users might have to remove them manually.
As we can set HEAD to an arbitrary ref by using .reference_symbolic(), we don't
have to manage a ref that can also be valid as a branch name.
Fixes#1495
It makes the call sites clearer if we pass the `TestRepoBackend` enum
instead of the boolean `use_git` value. It's also more extensible (I
plan to add another backend for tests).
The main goal of this change is to enable tree-level conflict format, but it
also allows us to bulk-import commits on clone/init. I think a separate method
will help if we want to provide progress information, enable check for
.jjconflict entries under certain condition, etc.
Since git::import_refs() now depends on GitBackend type, it might be better to
remove git_repo from the function arguments.
Git doesn't have a root commit, so we should skip branches pointing to
it on export, just like we do with conflicted branches (which Git also
doesn't support).
Before this patch, the order would depend on the reason we failed to
export a ref, because we would add to the `failed_branches` list in
several different places. What's worse, when the export failed because
the branch was conflicted or had an invalid name (from Git's
perspective), it was non-deterministic because we iterated over a
HashSet. This patch fixes that by sorting at the end.
Note that we still want the `branches_to_update` map to be a
`BTreeMap` so we update branches in deterministic order. Otherwise the
error when trying to export both branches `main` and `main/sub` will
become non-deterministic.
Many (most?) callers of `Store::empty_tree_id()` really want a
`MergedTreeId`, so let's create a helper for that. It returns the
`Legacy` variant, which is what all current callers used. That should
be all we need since the two variants compare equal these days, and
since trees built based on the legacy variant can get promoted to the
new variant on write if the config is enabled.
I made it simply fail on explicit fetch/import, and ignored on implicit import.
Since the error mode is predictable and less likely to occur. I don't think it
makes sense to implement warning propagation just for this.
Closes#1690.
Per discussion in #2009. This behavior isn't affected by e7e49527ef "git:
ensure that remote branches never diverge", but it's subtle enough to write
a test.
This is breaking change. Old jj binary will panic if it sees a view saved by
new jj. Alternatively, we can store both new and legacy data for backward
compatibility.
Alternatively, we can wrap BTreeMap<String, Option<RefTarget>> to flatten
Option<&Option<..>> internally, but doing that would be tedious. It would
also be unclear if map.remove(name) should construct an absent RefTarget if
the ref doesn't exist.
The next commit will change these maps to store Option<RefTarget> entries, but
None entries will still be omitted from the serialized data. Since ContentHash
should describe the serialized data, relying on the generic ContentHash would
cause future hash conflict where absent RefTarget entries will be preserved.
For example, ([remove], [None, add]) will be serialized as ([remove], [add]),
and deserialized to ([remove], [add, None]). If we add support for lossless
serialization, hash(([remove], [None, add])) should differ from the lossy one.
It's named after Conflict::from_legacy_form(). If RefTarget is migrated to
new Conflict type, from_legacy_form([], [add]) will create a normal target,
and from_legacy_form([], []) will be equivalent to the current None target.
That's why this function isn't named as RefTarget::conflict().
If RefTarget is migrated to new Conflict type, this function will create
RefTarget(Conflict::resolved(Some(id))).
We still need some .unwrap() to insert Option<RefTarget> into map, but maps
will be changed to store new RefTarget type, and their mutation API will
guarantee that Conflict::resolved(None) is eliminated.
Perhaps, all view.get_<kind>(name) functions can return reference, but I'm
not willing to change the interface at this point. I'll revisit this after
migrating Option<RefTarget> to new Conflict-based type.
Git CLI rejects it (though the data model would probably work fine with
"HEAD" branch.) This ensures that HEAD@git in JJ world is not an exported
branch named "HEAD".
Almost everyone calls the project "jj", and there seeems to be
consensus that we should rename the crates. I originally wanted the
crates to be called `jj` and `jj-lib`, but `jj` was already
taken. `jj-cli` is probably at least as good for it anyway.
Once we've published a 0.8.0 under the new names, we'll release 0.7.1
versions under the old names with pointers to the new crates names.
This only parses the fields relevant to us, i.e.:
- name: the stable identifier of the submodule
- path: the path to the submodule in the current commit
- url: the remote we can clone the submodule from
