The current output for a failed merge with conflict markers looks something like:
merging foo
warning: conflicts during merge.
merging foo incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
merging bar
warning: conflicts during merge.
merging bar incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
We're going to change the way merges are done to perform all premerges before
all merges, so that the output above would look like:
merging foo
merging bar
warning: conflicts during merge.
merging foo incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
warning: conflicts during merge.
merging bar incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
The 'warning: conflicts during merge' line has no context, so is pretty
confusing.
This patch will change the future output to:
merging foo
merging bar
warning: conflicts while merging foo! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
warning: conflicts while merging bar! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
The hint on how to resolve the conflicts makes this a bit unwieldy, but solving
that is tricky because we already hint that people run 'hg resolve' to retry
unresolved merges. The 'hg resolve --mark' mostly applies to conflict marker
based resolution.
The phrase "cannot edit immutable changeset" is kind of tautological.
Of course unchangeable things can't be changed. We instead mention
"public" and provide a hint so that we can point to the actual
problem. Even in cases where some operation other than edition cannot
be performed, "public" gives the root cause that results in the
"immutable" effect.
There is a precedent for saying "public" instead of "immutable", for
example, in `hg commit --amend`.
Show status messages while rebasing, similar to what graft do:
rebasing 12:2647734878ef "fork" (tip)
This gives more context for the user when resolving conflicts.
The recently introduced message was:
no unresolved files; you may continue your unfinished operation
This had three problems:
- looks a bit like an error message because it's not saying "we've
just resolved the last file"
- refers to "unfinished operation", which won't be the case with
"update" or "merge"
- introduces semicolons to error messages, which is stylistically
questionable
I've simplified this to:
no more unresolved files
In the future, if we want to prompt someone to continue a particular operation, we should use
a hint style:
no more unresolved files
(use 'hg graft --continue' to finish grafting)
When using resolve, users often have to consult with the output of |hg
resolve -l| to see if any unresolved files remain. This step is tedious
and adds overhead to resolving.
This patch will notify a user if there are no unresolved files remaining
after executing |hg resolve|::
no unresolved files; you may continue your unfinished operation
The patch stops short of telling the user exactly what command should be
executed to continue the unfinished operation. That is because this
information is not currently captured anywhere. This would make a
compelling follow-up feature.
Prior to this changeset, rebase always left the working directory as a parent of
the last rebased changeset. The is dubious when, before the rebase, the working
directory was not a parent of the tip most rebased changeset.
With this changeset, we move the working directory back to its original parent.
If the original parent was rebased, we use it's successors.
This is a step toward solving issue3813 (rebase loses active bookmark if it's
not on a head)
The previous error message had two issues: The first issue was that it
wasn't, in fact, an error but a warning, even though it described a
fatal error condition preventing the successful completion of the
command. The second was that it didn't mention the immutable
changesets, leaving the user guessing at the true cause of the error.
The main downside to this change is that we now get an 'abort: can't
abort...' message which technically contradicts itself. In this case,
I blame that on the two uses we have for the word; if it weren't for
backwards compatibility, we could make util.Abort print out 'error:
<whatever>'.
