This change updates the language of `jj edit`'s help message to be
more clear as to the nature of the command. It also adds a
recommendation for a more idiomatic/safer workflow.
Some of them will be called directly from the commit templater which shouldn't
know WorkspaceCommandHelper. All parameters are passed as function arguments
instead of having a nicer wrapper struct. That's because some resources (e.g.
repo and id prefix context) are also used for different purposes, and it seemed
uneasy to introduce high-level abstraction satisfying all the use cases.
Now you can do e.g. `jj squash --from 'foo+::' --into foo` to squash a
whole series into one commit. It doesn't need to be linear; you can
squash a bunch of siblings into another siblings, for example.
Now as default and elided node symbols come from the config, the next logical
step is to use them directly bypassing GraphLog. Note that commands like `jj op
log` and `jj obslog` do not use the elided node symbol at all.
This was proposed by @Brixy in
https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/discussions/2882 a while ago. There
seems to be pretty strong consensus that it's a good idea.
I've copied the added test cases from `test_move_command.rs`, just
replacing `move` by `squash`, `--to` by `--into`, and deleting the
test of a no-arg invocation (`jj move` fails, `jj squash` does not -
it defaults to squashing into the parent).
This patch makes `jj squash` us the helper I just extracted from `jj
move`. I had a to add a few small features to it for that.
The `test_squash_command.rs` test changed in a few cases where we do a
partial squash. After this patch, we include the rebased child in the
count of rebased descendants. That seems reasonable and consistent
with partial squash/move further than 1 generation.
This is just a little step towards reusing the helper I just extracted
from `jj move`. I had to update `test_immutable_commits.rs` because it
would otherwise fail because of the merge rather than failing because
of the immutable commit.
I'm soon going to make `jj squash` accept either `-r` or
`--from/--to`, which means `-r` will then be optional. This patch
prepares for that already, since it also simplifies the code a little
(and improves it so we warn if the user does `jj squash -r @
nonexistent`).
This matches what we do for `jj squash`, whether it's a
full or partial move.
I didn't add a test since we're planning to deprecate `jj move`, and
this will soon be tested via the `jj squash` tests.
The `destination` variable we use when creating the operation log may
have been replaced earlier in the code. I think this was a regression
when I moved the setting of the description from `start_transaction()`
to `finish_transaction()` a while ago.
The `amend/unamend` aliases exist for smoothen onboarding for
Git/Mercurial users; I don't think we should recommend that users use
them, so I think it's fine if users override them as they
like. Therefore, I think they belong in the config.
There's a caveat: "jj config list -Tname" will concatenate all names in a
single line. That's correct but useless. We might want some option or config
knob to complete missing "\n". This also applies to "log --no-graph".
I'm going to add generic templating support for basic value types, and
"jj config list -T" will use CommandHelper::parse_template().
CommandHelper::load_template_aliases() is made private instead.
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 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.
It was moved to CLI at 42252a2f00bb "cli: on `jj init --git-repo=.`, use
relative path to `.git/`." As far as I can tell, .canonicalize() is needed
to calculate relative path, which is now processed differently in
Workspace::init_external_git() and GitBackend::init_external().
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 recovery commit we create when we run into a stale working copy
with a missing operation currently has an empty tree. Our commit
backend at Google creates an index of which files changed in each
commit. That gets really expensive when a commit deletes all files in
the repo, as these recovery commits do. So for our backend, it is much
better to make the recovery commit empty instead. That's what this
patch does.
It almost doesn't matter functionally what tree we use for it since we
don't care much about the current tree when snapshotting the working
copy. It does matter in a few cases, however. One case is for
conflicts. In that case, it's likely better to use the recovery
commit's parent as base tree (as we do by making the recovery commit
empty) than to use an empty tree, as that would guarantee that all
conflicts would be considered resolved. (Side note: perhaps we should
start looking at the current commit's parent instead of looking at the
current commit when snapshotting, but that's a topic for another day.)
When we abandon a working-copy commit, we create a new working-copy
commit on top. This behave is very useful, but it's not obvious. Let's
document it.
Thankfully, 2bbefcc3383f (rewrite: default to not simplifying ancestor
merges) means that there are much fewer commands where we need to
document this behavior.
Add an option to list tracked branches only
This option keeps most of the current `--all` printing logic, but:
- Omits local Git-tracking branches by default (can be extended to
support filtering by remote).
- Skip over the branch altogether if it doesn't contain tracked remotes
- Don't print the untracked_remote_refs at the end
Usage:
`jj branch list -t`
`jj branch list --tracked`
`jj branch list --tracked <branch name>`
I think the user usually wants to abandon only newly empty commits. I
think they should use `jj abandon` if they want to get rid of already
empty commits. By keeping already empty commits, we don't need to
special-case the working copy and merge commits.
The description of `jj diff` was lost in commit b5e4e670. We later got
a short description for it in b5e4e670. This patch restores the
original description.
The default immutable_heads() includes tags(), which makes sense, but computing
heads(tags()) can be expensive because the tags() set is usually sparse. For
example, "jj bench revset 'heads(tags())'" took 157ms in my linux stable
mirror. We can of course optimize the heads evaluation by using bit set or
segmented index, but the query includes many historical heads if the repository
has per-release branches, which are uninteresting anyway. So, this patch
replaces heads(immutable_heads()) with trunk().
The reason we include heads(immutable_heads()) is to mitigate the following
problem. Suppose trunk() is the branch to be based off, I think using trunk()
here is pretty good.
```
A B
*---*----* trunk() ⊆ immutable_heads()
\
* C
```

I think I prefer this behavior because it's less lossy. The user can
manually simplify the history with `jj rebase -s <merge commit> -d
<one of the parents>` afterwards. We can roll this change back later
if we find it annoying.
I think the conclusion from #2600 is that at least auto-rebasing
should not simplify merge commits that merge a commit with its
ancestor. Let's start by adding an option for that in the library.
