I'd like to make the symbol resolution more flexible, both so we can
support customizing it (in custom `jj` binaries) and so we can use it
for resolving short prefixes within a small revset.
The substitution rule and tests are copied from ancestors/parents. The backend
logic will be reimplemented later. For now, it naively repeats children().
This is a minimal change to replace Children with Descendants. A generation
parameter could be added to RevsetExpression::DagRange, but it's not needed
as of now.
A chain of 4 billion commits is a lot, but it's not out of the
question, so let's support it. The current default index will not be
able to handle that many commits, so I let that still use 32-bit
integers.
New ResolvedExpression enum ensures that the evaluation engine doesn't have
to know the symbol resolution details. In this commit, I've moved Filter
and NotIn resolution to resolve_visibility(). Implicit All/VisibleHeads
resolution will be migrated later.
It's tempting to combine resolve_symbols() and resolve_visibility() to get
rid of panic!()s, but the resolution might have to be two passes to first
resolve&collect explicit commit ids, and then substitute "all()" with
"(:visible_heads())|commit_id|..". It's also possible to apply some tree
transformation after symbol resolution.
This makes it clear what should be resolved at resolve_symbols(). Symbol
is a bit special while parsing function arguments, but it's no different
than the other unresolved references at expression level.
The `heads()` revset function with one argument is the counterpart to
`roots()`. Without arguments, it returns the visible heads in the
repo, i.e. `heads(all())`. The two use cases are quite different, and
I think it would be good to clarify that the no-arg form returns the
visible heads, so let's split that out to a new `visible_heads()`
function.
Since filter is slow in general, its input set should be minimized. This has
measurable impact on artificial query like '~(v0.4.0..) & author(_)'. If it
were evaluated as a difference of sets, all commits would have to be loaded.
Since resolve_symbols() now removes Present(_) node, it make sense to
handle symbol resolution error there. That's why I added a "pre" callback
to try_transform_expression().
Perhaps, "operation" scope (#1283) can be implemented in a similar way,
(but somehow need to resolve operation id and call repo.reload_at(op).)
This makes it clear that RevsetExpression::Present node is noop at the
evaluation stage.
RevsetEvaluationError::StoreError is unused right now, but I'm not sure if
it should be removed. It makes some sense that evaluate() can propagate
StoreError as it has access to the store.
The `Repo` is a higher-level type that the index shouldn't have to
know about. With this change, a custom revset implementation should be
able evaluate the revset on a server without knowing which repo it
refers to.
The `public_heads()` revset only contains the root commit in
practice. I'm not sure what we want to do about phases, but since we
don't have any real support for them yet, let's just remove this
revset. I didn't update the changelog because we don't seem to have
documented the revset function (and it seems unlikely that users who
found out about it found it useful enough to use it when they could
just use `root`).
This serves the role of limit() in Mercurial. Since revsets in JJ is
(conceptually) an unordered set, a "limit" predicate should define its
ordering criteria. That's why the added predicate is named as "latest".
Closes#1110
There are no remaining places where we iterate over a revset and need
the `IndexEntry`s, so we can now make `Revset::iter()` yield
`CommitId`s instead.
This replaces the direct use of `IdIndex` in `ReadonlyRepo` by use of
`Revset::change_id_index()`.
I made the `Index` trait require `Send` and `Sync` in order to be able
to store an instance of it in `ReadonlyRepo` (via `ChangeIdIndex`) and
still have that be `Send` and `Sync`. We could alternatively store the
`ChangeIdIndex` in a `Mutex`. Now that will be up to the
`ChangeIdIndex` instead.
One of the remaining places we depend on index positions is when
creating a `ChangeIdIndex`. This moves that into the revset engine
(which is coupled to the commit index implementation) by adding a
`Revset::change_id_index()` method. We will also use this function
later when add support for resolving change id prefixes within a small
revset.
The current implementation simply creates an in-memory index using the
existing `IdIndex` we have in `repo.rs`.
The custom implementation at Google might do the same for small
revsets that are available on the client, but for revsets involving
many commits on the server, it might use a suboptimmal implementation
that uses longer-than-necessary prefixes for performance reasons. That
can be done by querying a server-side index including changes not in
the revset, and then verifying that the resulting commits are actually
in the revset.
The functions resolving a change id to commits currently return a
`Vec<IndexEntry>`. We want to avoid depending on `IndexEntry` and we
only need the commit ids here.
The index position is specific to the default index implementation and
we don't want to use it in outside of there. This commit removes the
use of it as a key for nodes in the graphlog.
I timed it on the git.git repo using `jj log -r 'all()' -T commit_id`
(the worst case I can think of) and it slowed down from ~2.02 s to
~2.20 s (~9%).
Since we hid the graph iterator implementation behind
`Revset::iter_graph()`, I don't think we have any callers of
`Revset::iter()` require the iteration to be in index position order,
so let's not promise that. We do want to promise that the iteration is
in topological order with children before parents, however.
We need 1.64 to bump `clap` to `4.1`. We don't really need to upgrade
to that, but being on an older version causes minor confusions like
#1393. Rust 1.64 is very close to 6 months old at this point.
For large repos, it's useful to be able to use shorter change id and
commit id prefixes by resolving the prefix in a limited subset of the
repo (typically the same subset that you'd want to see in your default
log output). For very large repos, like Google's internal one, the
shortest unique prefix evaluated within the whole repo is practically
useless because it's long enough that the user would want to copy and
paste it anyway.
Mercurial supports this with its `revisions.disambiguatewithin` config
(added in https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/rev/503f936489dd). I'd
like to add the same feature to jj. Mercurial's implementation works
by attempting to resolve the prefix in the whole repo and then, if the
prefix was ambiguous, it resolves it in the configured subset
instead. The advantage of doing it that way is that there's no extra
cost of resolving the revset defining the subset if the prefix was not
ambiguous within the whole repo. However, there are two important
reasons to do it differently in jj:
* We support very large repos using custom backends, and it's probably
cheaper to resolve a prefix within the subset because it can all be
cached on the client. Resolving the prefix within the whole repo
requires a roundtrip to the server.
* We want to be able to resolve change id prefixes, which is always
done in *some* revset. That revset is currently `all()`, i.e. all
visible commits. Even on local disk, it's probably cheaper to
resolve a small revset first and then resolve the prefix within that
than it is to build up the index of all visible change ids.
We could achieve the goal by letting each revset engine respect the
configured subset, but since the solution proposed above makes sense
also for local-disk repos, I think it's better to do it outside of the
revset engine, so all revset engines can share the code.
This commit prepares for the new functionality by moving the symbol
resolution out of `Index::evaluate_revset()`.
We want to allow custom revset engines define their own graph
iterator. This commit helps with that by adding a
`Revset::iter_graph()` function that returns an abstract iterator.
The current `RevsetGraphIterator` can be configured to skip or include
transitive edges. It skips them by default and we don't expose option
in the CLI. I didn't bother including that functionality in the new
`iter_graph()` either. At least for now, it will be up to the
implementation whether it includes such edges (it would of course be
free to ignore the caller's request even if we added an option for it
in the API).
This commit adds an `evaluate_revset()` function to the `Index`
trait. It will require some further cleanup, but it already achieves
the goal of letting the index implementation decide which revset
engine to use.
We want to allow customization of the revset engine, so it can query
server indexes, for example. The current revset implementation will be
our default implementation for now. What's left in the `revset` module
after this commit is mostly parsing code.
