Debugging the dirstate helps if you have options to add files for normal lookup
or drop them from the dirstate. This patch adds a convenience command to
test-rebuilddirstate.t to modify the dirstate. It will be used in the next patch
to write proper tests for debugrebuilddirstate --minimal
before, if you ran hg graft --user ... --date ... --log ... revs,
and if it failed, it would suggest "hg graft --continue",
but if you did that, your --user / --date / --log options
were lost, because they were not persisted anywhere...
Users may spend a lot of effort writing histedit rules,
getting an abort without being told they can recover their work
is very frustrating.
Avoid that by telling them where to find their work.
localrepo.parents() has relatively few users, and most of those were
actually implicitly looking at the wctx, which is now made explicit
via repo[None].
It makes far more sense to leave these conflicts unresolved and kick back to
the user than to just assume that the local version be chosen. There are almost
certainly buggy scripts and applications using Mercurial in the wild that do
merges or rebases non-interactively, and then assume that if the operation
succeeded there's nothing the user needs to pay attention to.
A block of code above this one already says "if fctx is not None", and it's
also what this code actually intends to check, so let's be specific as PEP-8
recommends.
c0ebd60607e9 didn't remove it, let's do it now.
Placing the added lines into the already existing "if fctx is not None" block
also makes webcommands.comparison() look a bit more like
webcommands.filediff(), which eases possible future refactoring. And fctx is
not None only when path in ctx, so logically it's equivalent.
When comparing a file that was removed at the current revision, parents used to
show grandparents instead, due to how fctx was "shifted" from the current
revision to its p1. Let's not do that.
The fix is pretty much copied from webcommands.filediff().
Before this patch we were using the deprecated bookmarks.write api. This
patch replaces the call to bookmarks.write by a call to bookmarks.recordchange.
We move the bookmark code above the code removing the undo file because with
bookmarks.recordchange we have to create a transaction that would create an
undo file.
When I moved crecord into core, I didn't include the toggleAmend function (to
switch from commit to amend mode). I did it because it would have made it more
difficult to use record and crecord interchangably. This patch reintroduces the
amend mode for commit -i as well as two tests to verify the behavior of the
function.
Before this patch, the chunkselector for record or crecord was used to return
the list of hunks that were selected by the user. The goal of this series is to
reintroduce the toggle amend feature for crecord. To do so, we need to be able
to return more than just the selected hunks from the chunkselector but also
the information: is amend mode toggled. This patch adds a new return value for
chunkselectors that will be used to implement the toggle amend feature in
crecord.
By default, editor will use temp file named after hard-coded pattern
'hg-editor-XXX.txt' which makes it impossible for extensions to use
another filename if desired.
Now the middle part of the pattern ('editor') can be changed by
setting extra['prefix'].
As the author of several 3rd party extensions, I frequently see bug
reports from users attempting to run my extension with an old version
of Mercurial that I no longer support in my extension. Oftentimes, the
extension will import just fine. But as soon as we run extsetup(),
reposetup(), or get into the guts of a wrapped function, we encounter
an exception and abort. Today, Mercurial will print a message about
extensions that don't have a "testedwith" declaring explicit
compatibility with the current version.
The existing mechanism is a good start. But it isn't as robust as I
would like. Specifically, Mercurial assumes compatibility by default.
This means extension authors must perform compatibility checking in
their extsetup() or we wait and see if we encounter an abort at
runtime. And, compatibility checking can involve a lot of code and
lots of error checking. It's a lot of effort for extension authors.
Oftentimes, extension authors know which versions of Mercurial there
extension works on and more importantly where it is broken.
This patch introduces a magic "minimumhgversion" attribute in
extensions. When found, the extension loading mechanism will compare
the declared version against the current Mercurial version. If the
extension explicitly states we require a newer Mercurial version, a
warning is printed and the extension isn't loaded beyond importing
the Python module. This causes a graceful failure while alerting
the user of the compatibility issue.
I would be receptive to the idea of making the failure more fatal.
However, care would need to be taken to not criple every hg command.
e.g. the user may use `hg config` to fix the hgrc and if we aborted
trying to run that, the user would effectively be locked out of `hg`!
A potential future improvement to this functionality would be to catch
ImportError for the extension/module and parse the source code for
"minimumhgversion = 'XXX'" and do similar checking. This way we could
give more information about why the extension failed to load.
The next patch will merge the cmdutil.service() calls of both commandserver
and hgweb. Before doing it, this patch wipes out the code specific to hgweb
from commands.serve().
We have finally laid all the groundwork to make this happen.
The only change/delete conflicts that haven't been moved are .hgsubstate
conflicts. Those are trickier to deal with and well outside the scope of this
series.
We add comprehensive testing not just for the initial selections but also for
re-resolves and all possible dirstate transitions caused by merge tools. That
testing managed to shake out several bugs in the way we were handling dirstate
transitions.
The other test changes are because we now treat change/delete conflicts as
proper merges, and increment the 'merged' counter rather than the 'updated'
counter. I believe this is the right approach here.
For third-party extensions, if they're interacting with filemerge code they
might have to deal with an absentfilectx rather than a regular filectx.
Still to come:
- add a 'leave unresolved' option to merges
- change the default for non-interactive change/delete conflicts to be 'leave
unresolved'
- add debug output to go alongside debug outputs for binary and symlink file
merges
This is so much easier to read than a long string of zeroes, and we're going to
have a lot more of these nodes once change/delete conflicts are part of the
merge state.
We're going to soon compare the output of all the non-orig files before and
after a resolve, and this makes that more convenient. The .orig files are
obviously going to differ between the two.
This is somewhat different from the currently existing 'a' action, for the
following case:
- dirty working copy, with file 'fa' added and 'fm' modified
- hg merge --force with a rev that neither has 'fa' nor 'fm'
- for the change/delete conflicts we pick 'changed' for both 'fa' and 'fm'.
In this case 'branchmerge' is true, but we need to distinguish between 'fa',
which should ultimately be marked added, and 'fm', which should be marked
modified.
Our current strategy is to just not touch the dirstate at all. That works for
now, but won't work once we move change/delete conflicts to the resolve phase.
In that case we may perform repeated re-resolves, some of which might mark the
file removed or remove the file from the dirstate. We'll need to re-add the
file to the dirstate, and we need to be able to figure out whether we mark the
file added or modified. That is what the new 'am' action lets us do.
