It seemed too verbose to always include @remote branches, so synced remotes
are omitted by default. If the given symbol contained '@', all remote symbols
are populated so that the distance of remote fragment is taken into account.
Use `br@git` instead.
Before, if there is not a local branch `br`, jj tried to resolve
it as a git ref `refs/heads/br`. Unchanged from before, `br` can
still be resolved as a tag `refs/tag/br`.
I made a typo and got something like this:
```
Error: Commit or change id prefix "wl" is ambiguous
```
Since we can tell commit ids from change ids these days, let's make
the error message say which kind of id it is. Changing that also kind
of forced me to make a special error for empty strings. Otherwise we
would have to arbitrarily say that an empty string is a commit id or
change id. A specific error message for empty strings seems helpful,
so that's probably for the better anyway.
I've added a helper function because the construction of the range expression
is a bit noisy. It could be a Repo method, but I don't want to make it a
default implementation of the trait method.
revset::walk_revs() let the caller handle RevsetEvaluationError since the
evaluation engine may error out even with such a trivial query. For now, most
callers just .unwrap() the error as before.
When creating `RevsetExpression` programmatically, I think we should
use commit ids instead of symbols in the expression. This commit adds
a check for that by using a `SymbolResolver` that always errors
out.
I would eventually want the `SymbolResolver` to be customizable (in
custom `jj` binaries), so we want to make sure we always use the
customized version of it.
I left `RevsetExpression::resolve()` unchanged. I consider that to be
for programmatically created expressions.
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`).
