There is now only peer scheme lookup. Repository lookup goes through
peer scheme lookup. When peer and repo types are finally separated,
repo lookup will use peer.local() to get a repository object.
The underbar is dropped so that extensions can patch the table.
- Add patchmeta.copy() and emit copies from iterhunks. Modifying patchmeta
instances in applydiff() makes things simpler.
- Rename selectfile() into makepatchmeta(). It is responsible for creating
patchmeta for regular patches.
- Pass patchmeta objects to patchfile() directly
patchmeta instances were associated with git patches, for regular patches we
had to pass additional variables to tell the patch intent to patchfile().
Instead, we generate patchmeta for regular patches and pass them. This will
also help with patch filtering by matcher objects.
since it's possible to reuse the ui object (see 6772a32edec7)
between dispatch calls, the ui might have been wrapped already.
we could probably move this test up a bit but leaving it here
allows updates to take effect by extstyles() and configstyles().
Also restructures the mode determination as discussed on IRC.
I tried to simplify the code too, while keeping the original
semantics except for the case of --color=always.
The internal list representation of guards was leaking into the
output. The guards were always printed using repr(guard) and that
style was kept.
When "hg qguard -l" prints several guards for a patch, it does so by
joining the names with " " and that style was used for the error
messages too.
git patches may require copies to be handled out-of-order. For instance, take
the following sequence:
* modify a
* copy a into b
Here, we have to generate b from a before its modification. To do so,
applydiff() was scanning for copy metadata and performing the copies before
processing the other changes in-order. While smart and efficient, this approach
complicates things by handling file copies and file creations at different
places and times. While a new file must not exist before being patched a copied
file already exists before applying the first hunk.
Instead of copying the files at their final destination before patching, we
store them in a temporary file location and retrieve them when patching. The
filestore always stores file content in real files but nothing prevents adding
a cache layer. The filestore class was kept separate from fsbackend for at
least two reasons:
- This class is likely to be reused as a temporary result store for a future
repository patching call (entries just have to be extended to contain copy
sources).
- Delegating this role to backends might be more efficient in a repository
backend case: the source files are already available in the repository itself
and do not need to be copied again. It also means that third-parties backend
would have to implement two other methods. If we ever decide to merge the
filestore feature into backend, a minimalistic approach would be to compose
with filestore directly. Keep in mind this copy overhead only applies for
copy/rename sources, and may even be reduced to copy sources which have to
handled ahead of time.
The patcher has to know if a file is being created or removed to check if the
target already exists, or to actually unlink the file when a hunk emptying it
is applied. This was done by embedding the creation/removal information in the
first (and only) hunk attached to the file.
There are two problems with this approach:
- creation/removal is really a property of the file being patched and not its
hunk.
- for regular patches, file creation cannot be deduced at parsing time: there
are case where the *stripped* file paths must be compared. Modifying hunks
after their creation is clumsy and prevent further refactorings related to
copies handling.
Instead, we delegate this job to selectfile() which has all the relevant
information, and remove the hunk createfile() and rmfile() methods.
It has substantially different semantics from forget at the command
layer, so change it to avoid confusion.
We can't simply combine it with remove because we need to explicitly
drop non-added files in some cases like commit.
