I considered inlining tx.select_diff(), but that looked a bit cryptic because
the arguments orders are reasonably different. This thin wrapper will help
enforce the common interactive editing behavior.
This constructor has too many arguments enough to introduce a parameter struct,
which would be identical to the CommandHelper type. Let's simply inline it as
there are no external callers.
write!(ui.hint(), ..) error is suppressed because it seemed weird if the
configuration error had io::Error variant. The write error isn't important
anyway.
This moves the config loading closer to CLI args where --tool=<name> option
will be processed. The factory function are proxied through the command helper
so that the base_ignores can be attached there later.
This gets rid of the last UserSettings dependency from edit_diff_external().
I'm going to remove it from edit_diff() too, and let callers pass a
preconfigured MergeTool struct instead.
These changes will make it easier to add --tool=<name> argument #2575.
This reverts dc074363d180 "no-op: Move external git repo canonicalization into
Workspace::init_git_external." As I said in the PR comment, appending ".git"
is normalization of the user input, which is IMHO more appropriate to be done
in the CLI layer.
The translation from method error to keyword error can go wrong if the context
object had n-ary methods (n > 0), which isn't the case as of now. For
simplicity, arguments error is mapped to "self.<name>(..)" suggestion.
Local variables and "self" could be merged without using extra method, but
we'll need extend_*_candidates() to merge in symbol/function aliases anyway.
This seems more useful if aliases are nested. The innermost error usually
contains the problem, and the outer errors are contexts where aliases are
expanded.
It should be useful at least in the presentation layer to know which
operations correspond to working-copy snapshots. They might be
rendered differently in the graph, for example. Or maybe an undo
command wants to warn if you just undid a snapshot operation. This
patch just introduces a field in the metadata to store the
information.
The legacy parsing rules are turned into compatibility errors. The x:y rule
is temporarily enabled when parsing string patterns. It's weird, but we can't
isolate the parsing function because a string pattern may be defined in an
alias.
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.
A subsequent commit will need to handle the return value of
check_stale_working_copy() in 3 different ways, so a boolean will soon
not be sufficient. In preparation for that, inline is_stale() into its
caller, converting it into a "match".
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.
When the user doesn't have a configured default command, we show a
hint saying to set `ui.default-command`. I think the user is very
likely to want to set that in the user-wide config, so let's include
the command in the hint.
This reimplements the change 9faa4670d53f "cli: on init, import git refs prior
to importing HEAD." Initialization is special because the HEAD ref isn't
available to jj yet, and there is an empty working-copy commit.
The initialization function could be refactored to go through the common code
path, but I think doing that would make future improvement harder. We might
want to initialize tracking branches based on .git/config for example.
Fixes#2942
* Move git_init() to cli/src/commands/git.rs and call it from there.
* Move print_trackable_remote_branches into cli_util since it's not git specific,
but would apply to any backend that supports remote branches.
* A no-op change. A follow up PR will make use of this.
I'm going to rewrite the error output to print source chain one by one.
The "{message}: {err}" pattern is wrapped in an error struct. InternalError
variant could be a { message, source } pair, but not all errors need an
additional message. This will also apply to UserError.
The "::HEAD" set is usually smaller than "::git_refs". If these sets were
imported in that order, "HEAD..git_refs" commits would be indexed on top of
the "::HEAD" commits. It's not a problem, but undesirable.
I'm going to make WorkspaceCommandHelper::maybe_snapshot() snapshot the working
copy before importing refs. git::import_some_refs() can rebase the working copy
branch and therefore @ can be moved. git::import_head() doesn't, and it should
be invoked before snapshotting.
git::import_head() is inserted to some of the git:import_refs() callers where
HEAD seems to matter. I feel it's a bit odd that the HEAD ref is imported to
non-colocated repo, but "jj init --git-repo" relies on that, and I think the
existence of HEAD@git is harmless. It's merely a ref to the revision checked
out somewhere else.
