This doesn't work yet since write_file() overwrites the existing file, which
will be fixed by the next patch.
I've added a callback parameter to update() just because that's the easiest
option. If we want to report the number of the conflicting files (through
CheckoutStats), the callback interface wouldn't work nicely and the error
handling would have to be moved to the update() body. If we want to make
both check_out() and set_sparse_patterns() ignore EEXIST error, we can
eliminate the calback parameter at all.
I was initially worried about the cost of always snapshotting the
working copy, so that's why e.g. `jj diff -r <some hash>` doesn't do
it. However, there's been a few caused by missing snapshotting, and
there are still a few (I just noticed it in `jj undo` while writing
this patch). Let's always do the snapshotting and if the user really
doesn't want it, they can pass `--no-commit-working-copy` (which we
should probably rename to `--no-snapshot-working-copy` or maybe just
`--no-snapshot`). That should reduce bugs and make the CLI more
predictable.
Two test cases were affected becasue `jj merge` also didn't snapshot
the working copy.
Before this patch, e.g. `jj co --no-commit-working-copy` would error
out, but now it will succeed (without touching the working copy,
leaving the working copy stale). That may be confusing, but it should
be easy to recover from (e.g. by `jj undo`). We can consider adding a
check for it later if it seems too confusing (it's probably rarely
something the user wanted).
There is a bit of duplicated across the three functions for creating a
`Workspace` and `Repo`. This patch reduces that duplication by passing
in a closure.
In addition to reducing duplication, this is a step towards making it
easier to add new backends.
The working copy does not get snapshotted by `jj git push`, `jj git
push --all`, and `jj git push --branch`. This fixes that.
We should probably do the snapshotting in a more central place, so we
can't forget it like this, but I'll leave that for later.
Since we now allow pushing open commits, we can implement support for
pushing the "current" branch by defining a "current" branch as any
branch pointing to `@`. That definition of a current/active seems to
have been the consensus in discussion #411.
Closes#246.
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.
Sturdy came up a while ago on lobste.rs when [jj was being discussed](https://lobste.rs/s/47zztj/jujutsu_dvcs). I'm not sure if I described it well, or if it's something you want as related-work, especially since the sturdy founder claims to be solving different problems in the very thread. But it does seem to be doing some similar things to removing the idea of an index/staging area.
Since whitespace change is barely visible in color-words diff, I think it
would be too verbose to add "\ No newline at end of file" marker. Let's just
append missing newline to make the command output readable.
We had a recent bug where we used a repo reference from before we
started a transaction and modified the repo. While it's often safe and
correct to use such references, it isn't always. This patch removes
all such cases. I think it generally makes the code clearer, and
better prepared for #50, if we ever get around to that. I found these
by temporarily making `WorkspaceCommandHelper::start_transaction()`
take a mutable reference.
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.
In the `jj git push --change X` code, we start a transaction and then
resolve the argument, which often results in the working copy getting
snapshotted. Since the snapshotting happens in its own transaction,
that means we have two concurrent operations for no good reason. This
patch fixes that by starting the main transaction a little
later. Since that restructuring made it easy to give more detailed
descriptions to the operations, I also did that.
The operation log entry for `jj git push` currently says "import git
refs". That seems like just a bad copy&paste. While it used to be
technically correct that the only effect on the repo was from the
import, now that we have the `jj git push --change`, that is no longer
even true.
It's convenient to push all changed branches every time with `jj git
push`, but sometimes I want to know which branches were actually
pushed. This make the command print what it's going to do.
I'll add a `--dry-run` mode and tests next.
I think I had not added tests for successful push before because I
thought there was some issue with testing it with libgit2. There *is*
an issue, which is that libgit2 requires the remote to be bare when
it's on local disk, but we can very easily make the git repo bare in
this test.
I also updated the error handling in the `git` module to not let
follow-on errors hide the real error and to not fail if two branches
moved to the same commit.
