Otherwise, ref updates would fail if we port git::export_refs() to gitoxide.
This change isn't strictly needed for the backend itself, but we'll reuse the
gix::Repository instance created by the backend when importing and exporting
Git refs.
GitBackend will use it to configure gix::Repository. I think UserSettings
is generally useful to pass store-specific parameters, so I've updated all
factory functions.
I'll make it propagate OpStoreError, but OpStoreError is quite different
from the existing StaleWorkingCopyError. I think this error isn't actually
an "error" but a description of the working copy state.
Per discussion in https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/discussions/2555. I'm
okay with either way, but it's confusing if we had "branch create" and
"branch set" and both of these could create a new branch.
While the safe implementation is a bit more complex (and probably more branchy),
I don't think the runtime overhead would matter here. Let's remove one more
unsafe for better code maintainability.
Renamed `description_template_for_commit` to
`description_template_for_describe` since it's only used in
`cmd_describe`.
Renamed `description_template_for_cmd_split` to
`description_template_for_commit` and modified to accomodate empty
`intro` argument.
Fixes#2439.
We have a few places where we have a `MergedTreeValue` and need to
read the data associated with it so we can write to the working copy
or include it in a diff. Let's extract some of that shared logic to a
function so we can reuse it. I plan to use it for reading file
contents in advance while streaming a diff in `local_working_copy`
soon (and probably in `jj diff` thereafter), but I think it seems like
an improvement on its own.
I'd like to read N files ahead from the backend, to avoid serializing
too many server calls on backends that are backed by a server. Moving
the reads a little earlier is a little step towards that.
The `TreeState::write_*()` functions can now be made into free/static
functions if we prefer.
We no longer have "unsafe" in this function, so let's use the iterator API
instead of recursion. Apparently I haven't pushed this change before because
unsafe in .find_map() looked scary.
Remove a couple of unnecessary unsafes:
- The NonZeroUsize is a constant where the unwrap will optimize away
anyway and we don't have an unsafe without any good reason there :)
- The other two were simply not needed, lifetimes worked fine, maybe
Rust became better since that code was written? NLL? Anyway, they're
gone now
As discussed in Discord, it's less useful if remote_branches() included
Git-tracking branches. Users wouldn't consider the backing Git repo as
a remote.
We could allow explicit 'remote_branches(remote=exact:"git")' query by changing
the default remote pattern to something like 'remote=~exact:"git"'. I don't
know which will be better overall, but we don't have support for negative
patterns anyway.
It's super common that a Merge object holds a resolved value, so let's inline
up to 1 element. T of Merge<T> usually consists of a couple of pointer-sized
fields. I don't see any measurable speed up, but it's no worse than the
original.
Since the concurrent diff algorithm is significantly slower when using
the Git backend, I think we'll have to use switch between the two
algorithms depending on backend. Even if the concurrent version always
performed as well as the sequential version, exactly how concurrent it
should be probably still depends on the backend. This commit therefore
adds a function to the `Backend` trait, so each backend can say how
much concurrency they deal well with. I then use that number for
choosing between the sequential and concurrent versions in
`MergedTree::diff_stream()`, and also to decide the number of
concurrent reads to do in the concurrent version.
When diffing two trees, we currently start at the root and diff those
trees. Then we diff each subtree, one at a time, recursively. When
using a commit backend that uses remote storage, like our backend at
Google does, diffing the subtrees one at a time gets very slow. We
should be able to diff subtrees concurrently. That way, the number of
roundtrips to a server becomes determined by the depth of the deepest
difference instead of by the number of differing trees (times 2,
even). This patch implements such an algorithm behind a `Stream`
interface. It's not hooked in to `MergedTree::diff_stream()` yet; that
will happen in the next commit.
I timed the new implementation by updating `jj diff -s` to use the new
diff stream and then ran it on the Linux repo with `jj diff
--ignore-working-copy -s --from v5.0 --to v6.0`. That slowed down by
~20%, from ~750 ms to ~900 ms. Maybe we can get some of that
performance back but I think it'll be hard to match
`MergedTree::diff()`. We can decide later if we're okay with the
difference (after hopefully reducing the gap a bit) or if we want to
keep both implementations.
I also timed the new implementation on our cloud-based repo at
Google. As expected, it made some diffs much faster (I'm not sure if
I'm allowed to share figures).
I'm about to add a few more checks for diffing with a matcher. I think
it will help make it readable and reduce the risk of mixing up
variables between each part of the test if we use some nested blocks.
I also removed some unnecessary `.clone()` calls while at it.
Originally, my motivation was to try again to get `mike` to not push empty
commits (which this should do). I'm now reconsidering this, since *not* pushing
empty commits will make the output of the CI job a little harder to read. If
this becomes an issue, I might even add `--allow-empty` to the `mike`
invocations later.
A more important motivation is that even for a 400-byte file, changing it for
every PR blows up the size of the repo eventually.
The cause for the changes to this file was that `gzip` stores a timestamp
inside the `.gz` file.
