Almost all commands should update the checkout after rewriting
commits, so this patch teaches the `RepoCommand` helper to take care
of that by default.
This patch introduces a type that keeps some state that is used by
commands that act on a repo (i.e. most commands). The short-term goal
with this refactoring is to use the new type for passing the full
list of command-line arguments as metadata on the transaction.
This patch on its own is a net increase in lines of code. Hopefully
that can be reversed with some further patches.
This commit adds support for defining command aliases. The aliases are
read from the `[alias]` section and are expected to be TOML arrays
with one element per argument.
When rendering a non-contiguous subset of the commits, we want to
still show the connections between the commits in the graph, even
though they're not directly connected. This commit introduces an
adaptor for the revset iterators that also yield the edges to show in
such a simplified graph.
This has no measurable impact on `jj log -r ,,v2.0.0` in the git.git
repo.
The output of `jj log -r 'v1.0.0 | v2.0.0'` now looks like this:
```

Before this commit, it looked like this:
```

```
The output of `jj log -r 'git_refs()'` in the git.git repo is still
completely useless (it's >350k lines and >500MB of data). I think
that's because we don't filter out edges to ancestors that we have
transitive edges to. Mercurial also doesn't filter out such edges, but
Git (with `--simplify-by-decoration`) seems to filter them out. I'll
change it soon so we filter them out.
I've often missed not having the timestamp there. It gets too long
with both email and timestamp for both author and committer, so I
removed the committer email to make room for the author timestamp.
I really liked the idea of having the operators for parents and
ancestors (etc.) look similar, but that turned out to be problematic
when we want to add an infix operator for a DAG range (hg's `::`
revset operator and git's `--ancestry-path` flag). Let's say we chose
`:*:` as the operator. Part of the problem is how to parse `foo:*:bar`
without eagerly parsing the `foo:`. It would also be nicer to use
exactly the same operator as prefix, postfix, and infix. Since the
"parents" operator can be repeated, we can't have it be just `:` and
the "ancestors" operator be `::`. We could make the "ancestors"
operator be something like `*:*` (or anything symmetric with the `:`
symbol on the inside). However, at that point, the operator is getting
ugly and hard to type. Another option would be to use `:` for
ancestors and `::` for parents, but that is counterintuitive and get
annoying if you want to repeat it. So it seems that the best option is
to simply pick different symbols for parents/children and
ancestors/descendants/range.
This patch changes the ancestors/descendants operators to both be
`,,`. I'm not at all attached to that particular symbol. I suspect
we'll change it later.
This teaches `jj log` a new `-r` option with a default of
`*:non_obsolete_heads()`. It also removes the `--all` option since
that's not used very frequently and can now be achieved with `jj log
-r '*:all_heads()'`.
When removing uninteresting heads, we had a check for explicitly
keeping the checkout (working copy) commit. I'm pretty sure that is a
leftover from before we had the "pruned" flag on commits; the working
copy should never be pruned or obsolete.
This patch adds initial support for a DSL for specifying revisions
inspired by Mercurial's "revset" language. The initial support
includes prefix operators ":" (parents) and "*:" (ancestors) with
naive parsing of the revsets. Mercurial uses postfix operator "^" for
parent 1 just like Git does. It uses prefix operator "::" for
ancestors and the same operator as postfix operator for descendants. I
did it differently because I like the idea of using the same operator
as prefix/postfix depending on desired direction, so I wanted to apply
that to parents/children as well (and for
predecessors/successors). The "*" in the "*:" operator is copied from
regular expression syntax. Let's see how it works out. This is an
experimental VCS, after all.
I've updated the CLI to use the new revset support.
The implementation feels a little messy, but you have to start
somewhere...
My recent fix to print context lines when there are less than 3 lines
of context wasn't enough; we should also print context lines when
there are exactly 3 lines of context :) I can't understand what the
`!context_before` condition was for, so I've just removed it. I guess
I'll notice soon if things look worse in some case.
With lots of callbacks replaced by iterators, we are now ready to
propagate most cases of `BrokenPipe` errors to the top-level
`dispatch()` function where it gets ignored and we exit with an error
code.
This is yet another step towards making it easy to propagate
`BrokenPipe` errors. The `jj diff` code (naturally) diffs two trees
and prints the diffs. If the printing fails, we shouldn't just crash
like we do today.
The new code is probably slower since it does more copying (the
callback got references to the `FileRepoPath` and `TreeValue`). I hope
that won't make a noticeable difference. At least `jj diff -r
334afbc76fbd --summary` didn't seem to get measurably slower.
The new `jj unsquash` command moves changes from a commit's parent
into the commit itself. It comes with a `--interactive` flag. The
command is probably most useful for moving changes from the working
copy's parent into the working copy but it can of course be used for
moving changes into any commit (from that commit's parent).
This updates `jj log` to walk the index for doing the topological
walk, which is much faster than walking the object graph. This speeds
up `jj log | head -1` in the git.git repo from ~1.9s to ~0.27s (most
of the remaining time is spent calculating the evolve state).
A consequence of walking the index instead is that the order of
commits in the output is by by generation number. That's nice in some
ways, but it also means that the newest commit isn't always at the
top.
When I recently changed the revision argument from being passed to
`-r` to being a positional argument, I accidentally made it
required. Let's restore the default of "@".
I keep forgetting to pass the `-r`. The command takes only a revision
as argument and it doesn't seem likely that we'll want to positional
arguments for filenames in the future either.
