Custom backends may rely on networking or other unreliable implementations to support revsets, this change allows them to return errors cleanly instead of panicking.
For simplicity, only the public-facing Revset and RevsetGraph types are changed in this commit; the internal revset engine remains mostly unchanged and error-free since it cannot generally produce errors.
Stacking at AliasExpanded node looks wonky. If we migrate error handling to
Diagnostics API, it might make sense to remove AliasExpanded node and add
node.aliases: vec![(id, span), ..] field instead.
Some closure arguments are inlined in order to help type inference.
Deprecation warnings will be printed there. auto_tracking_matcher(ui) could
be cached, but there aren't many callers right now, so it should be okay to
parse and emit warnings for each invocation. Other than that, the changes are
straightforward.
We had both `repo()` and `mut_repo()` on `Transaction` and I think it
was easy to get confused and think that the former returned a
`&ReadonlyRepo` but both of them actually return a reference to
`MutableRepo` (the latter obviously returns a mutable reference). I
hope that renaming to the more idiomatic `repo_mut()` will help
clarify.
We could instead have renamed them to `mut_repo()` and
`mut_repo_mut()` but that seemed unnecessarily long. It would better
match the `mut_repo` variables we typically use, though.
This doesn't provide any benefit yet bit I think we've known for a
while that we want to make the backend write methods async. It's just
not been important to Google because we have the local daemon process
that makes our writes pretty fast. Regardless, this first commit just
changes the API and all callers immediately block for now, so it won't
help even on slow backends.
- use a single commit instead of an array of them. This simplifies the
implementation. A higher level api can wrap this when an array of
commits is desired and those semantics are figured out.
- since this API is directly 1-1 on parents, there are no conflicts
- if we introduce a higher level API that handles lists of commits, we
may need to restore the conflict/resolved distinction, but for now
simplify
It was convenient that expression nodes can be compared in tests, but no
equivalence property is needed at runtime. Let's remove Eq/PartialEq to
simplify the extension support.
This will allows us to parse "file(..)" arguments as fileset expression by
transforming AST for example. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but we'll
probably want to embed fileset expressions without quoting.
parse_expression_rule() is split to the first str->ExpressionNode stage and
the second ExpressionNode->RevsetExpression stage. The latter is called
"resolve_*()" in fileset, but we have another "symbol" resolution stage in
revset. So I choose "lower_*()" instead.
It's reasonable for a `WorkingCopy` implementation to want to return
an error. `LocalWorkingCopyFactory` doesn't because it loads all data
lazily. The VFS-based one at Google wants to be able to return an
error, however.
If we ever implement some sort of ABI for dynamic extension loading, we'll need these underlying APIs to support multiple extensions, so we might as well do that first.
These .wrap_<type>() functions aren't supposed to capture resources from the
language instance. It was convenient that wrap_() could be called without fully
spelling the language type, but doing that would introduce lifetime issue in
later patches.
I added type alias L to several places because the language type is usually
called L in generic code.
When an operation is missing and we recover the workspace, we create a
new working-copy commit on top of the desired working-copy commit (per
the available head operation). We then reset the working copy to an
empty tree because it shouldn't really matter much which commit we
reset to. However, when the workspace is sparse, it does matter, as
the test case from the previous patch shows. This patch fixes it by
replacing the `reset_to_empty()` method by a new `recover(&Commit)`,
which effectively resets to the empty tree and then resets to the
commit. That way, any subsequent snapshotting will result keep the
paths from that tree for paths outside the sparse patterns.
If the operation corresponding to a workspace is missing for some reason
(the specific situation in the test in this commit is that an operation
was abandoned and garbage-collected from another workspace), currently,
jj fails with a 255 error code. Teach jj a way to recover from this
situation.
When jj detects such a situation, it prints a message and stops
operation, similar to when a workspace is stale. The message tells the
user what command to run.
When that command is run, jj loads the repo at the @ operation (instead
of the operation of the workspace), creates a new commit on the @
commit with an empty tree, and then proceeds as usual - in particular,
including the auto-snapshotting of the working tree, which creates
another commit that obsoletes the newly created commit.
There are several design points I considered.
1) Whether the recovery should be automatic, or (as in this commit)
manual in that the user should be prompted to run a command. The user
might prefer to recover in another way (e.g. by simply deleting the
workspace) and this situation is (hopefully) rare enough that I think
it's better to prompt the user.
2) Which command the user should be prompted to run (and thus, which
command should be taught to perform the recovery). I chose "workspace
update-stale" because the circumstances are very similar to it: it's
symptom is that the regular jj operation is blocked somewhere at the
beginning, and "workspace update-stale" already does some special work
before the blockage (this commit adds more of such special work). But it
might be better for something more explicitly named, or even a sequence
of commands (e.g. "create a new operation that becomes @ that no
workspace points to", "low-level command that makes a workspace point to
the operation @") but I can see how this can be unnecessarily confusing
for the user.
3) How we recover. I can think of several ways:
a) Always create a commit, and allow the automatic snapshotting to
create another commit that obsoletes this commit.
b) Create a commit but somehow teach the automatic snapshotting to
replace the created commit in-place (so it has no predecessor, as viewed
in "obslog").
c) Do either a) or b), with the added improvement that if there is no
diff between the newly created commit and the former @, to behave as if
no new commit was created (@ remains as the former @).
I chose a) since it was the simplest and most easily reasoned about,
which I think is the best way to go when recovering from a rare
situation.
Our virtual file system at Google (CitC) would like to know the commit
so it can scan backwards and find the closest mainline tree based on
it. Since we always record an operation id (which resolves to a
working-copy commit) when we write the working-copy state, it doesn't
seem like a restriction to require a commit.
GitBackend::gc() will need to check if a commit is reachable from any
historical operations. This could be calculated from the view and commit
objects, but the Index will do a better job.
It seems better to have the caller pass the transaction description
when we finish the transaction than when we start it. That way we have
all the information we want to include more readily available.
This adds an initial `jj util gc` command, which simply calls `git gc`
when using the Git backend. That should already be useful in
non-colocated repos because it's not obvious how to GC (repack) such
repos. In my own jj repo, it shrunk `.jj/repo/store/` from 2.4 GiB to
780 MiB, and `jj log --ignore-working-copy` was sped up from 157 ms to
86 ms.
I haven't added any tests because the functionality depends on having
`git` binary on the PATH, which we don't yet depend on anywhere
else. I think we'll still be able to test much of the future parts of
garbage collection without a `git` binary because the interesting
parts are about manipulating the Git repo before calling `git gc` on
it.
Each instance of the enum represents a single command, so singular
`*Command` seems better. That also seems to match the examples in
clap's documentation.
