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.
This prevents rust doctests from trying to compile the code blocks.
I don't think we use doctests much or at all, but I'd like
`cargo insta test --test-runner nextest --accept --workspace`
to pass.
Unfortunately, this affects the output of `jj help` as well, but I
can't think of a workaround for that.
I'm going to add a prefix resolution method to OpStore, but OpStore is
unrelated to the index. I think ObjectId, HexPrefix, and PrefixResolution can
be extracted to this module.
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.
Note that one of the new tests panics; this is a newly discovered bug.
In Git, a commit's direct parent is allowed to also be an indirect ancestor
at the same time. `jj` currently tries to prevent this situation, but does
allow it. The correctness of `rebase -r A -d descendant_of_A` currently depends
on this jj-specific behavior; we should change that.
Cc #2600
This follows up on 3967f63 (see that commit's description for more
motivation) and e79c8b6.
In a discussion linked below, it was decided that forbidding `-r --skip-empty`
entirely is preferable to the mixed behavior introduced in 3967f63.

This follows up on @matts1 's #2609.
We still allow the `-r` commit to become empty. I would be more comfortable if
there was a test for that, but I haven't done that (yet?) and it seems pretty
safe. If that's a problem, I'm happy to forbid `-r --skip-empty` entirely,
since it is far less useful than `-s --skip-empty` or `-b --skip-empty`.
I think it is undesired to abandon emptied descendants. As far as descendants
of `A` are concerned, `jj rebase -r A` should be equivalent to `jj abandon A`,
and `jj abandon` does not remove emptied commits. It also doesn't seem very
useful to do that, since I think descendant commits of an abandoned (or moved
with `-r`) commit only become empty in pathological cases.
Additionally, if we did want -r to empty descendants of `A`, we'd have to add
thorough tests and possibly improve the algorithm. I want to refactor `rebase
-r` and add features to it, and having to consider cases of commits becoming
abandoned makes everything harder.
For example, if we have
```
root -> A -> B -> C
```
and `jj rebase -r A -d C` empties commit `B` (or `C`), I do not know whether
the current algorithm will work correctly. It seems possible that it would, but
that depends on the fact that empty merge commits are not abandoned for
descendants. That seems dangerous to rely on without tests.
I hope (but can't promise) that in the near future, making DescendantRebaser
return more information should help make it possible to create such
functionality in a more robust way. I am likely to attempt this as part of
implementing `-r --after`.
`RevsetExpression::resolve()` is meant for programmatically created
expressions. In particular, it may not contain symbols. Let's try to
clarify that by renaming the function and documenting it.
Summary: This is currently used by `new.rs`, `workspace.rs`, and `rebase.rs`,
and may be useful for other commands and custom CLIs. So just go ahead and move
it into the parent module hierarchy.
Also rename the function to `resolve_all_revs`, as it isn't actually specific to
rebase at all.
