This change adjusts and documents the new behaviour of 'roll'. It now fits nicely
with the behaviour of 'commit --amend' and the 'edit' action, by discarding the
date as well as the commit message of the second commit. Previously it used the
later date, like 'fold', but this often wasn't desirable, for example, in the
common use case of using 'roll' to add forgotten changes to a changeset
(because 'hg add' was previously forgotten or not all changes were identified
while using 'hg record').
This clarifies in the histedit documentation that the 'edit' action preserves
the date and that the 'fold' action uses the later date. The documentation was
previously silent on this issue which left users in doubt.
All actions but one actually have the same constraints when it comes to validate
the 'action.node' value. So we actually just add this code to a method that can
be overwritten in the one action where it matters.
The now unused 'contraints' related enum and class attribute will be cleaned up
in the next changeset.
Action has a method dedicated to verifying its validity. So we move code
related to constrains into that method. This requires a bit more context to the
'verify' method in the same fashion we were passing the 'prev' argument.
This is an extra step before we can simplify the constraint handling code
further.
It does not seem useful to convert to hex: it is an extra step and they are
longer strings. So we stick to node for the logic. We only convert to short hex
for error when needed. As a nice side effect this remove the explicit constant
usage in'[12:]'. This will also help moving the code around later as we just
have to access action.node.
An upcoming changeset will make the line where this variable is used
slightly too long. Other later changesets will clean that up further and makes
the variable unnecessary, so this is only temporary and it does seems useful to
put anything more complicate in place.
There does not seem to be a reason for this to be a method. So we initialise
the class attribute once and for all at creation time and drop the instance
method.
That method is just returning self.node and is never overridden. We just use
the attribute directly instead and get rid of the method.
This is the beginning of series to simplify and unify verification of constraints
for actions.
I've caught multiple extensions in the wild lying about being
'internal', so it's time to move the goalposts on people. Goalpost
moving will continue until third party extensions stop trying to
defeat the system.
Inspired by how 'git rebase -i' works, we move the autoverb to the
commit line summary that it matches. We do this by iterating over all
rules and inserting each non-autoverb line into a key in an ordered
dictionary. If we find an autoverb line later, we then search for the
matching key and append it to the list (which is the value of each key
in the dictionary). If we can't find a previous line to move to, then we
leave the rule in the same spot.
Tests have been updated but the diff looks a little messy because we
need to change one of the summary lines so that it will actually move to
a new spot. On top of that, we added -q flags to future some of the
output and needed to change the file it modified so that it wouldn't
cause a conflict.
Now that the autoverb logic no longer acts on an individual rule line,
we don't need this parameter since we apply our logic just once at the
time of initialization.
This is needed for an upcoming change that will automatically rearrange the
rules based on the commit message. Before this patch, the autoverb logic only
applied to one rule at a time. This moves that logic one step up so that it can
iterate over all the rules and rearrange as needed.
The cPickle is renamed to _pickle in python3 and this C extension is available
in pickle which was not included in earlier versions. So imports are conditionalized
to import cPickle in py2 and pickle in py3. Moreover the use of pickle in py2 is
switched to cPickle as the C extension is faster. The hack is added in util.py and
the modules import util.pickle
This allows users to start a commit with "verb! ..." so that when this is
opened in histedit, the default action will be "verb". For example, "roll! foo"
will default to the action "roll". Currently, we'll allow any known verb to be
used but this is experimental.
Since (b) is banned, we should do the same for (a) for consistency.

Adds a hint to histedit comment reminding user about enabled dropmissing.
This will make the enabled dropmissing more visible. The example comment:
# Edit history between 5abd0a5c28d1 and b54649a8a63f
#
# Commits are listed from least to most recent
#
# You can reorder changesets by reordering the lines
#
# Commands:
#
# e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
# m, mess = edit commit message without changing commit content
# p, pick = use commit
# b, base = checkout changeset and apply further changesets from there
# d, drop = remove commit from history
# f, fold = use commit, but combine it with the one above
# r, roll = like fold, but discard this commit's description
#
# Deleting a changeset from the list will DISCARD it from the edited history!
Closing stdin is unexpected by chgserver and is not a good idea generally.
This patch refactors related code a bit and make sure stdin is not closed.
It will make chg much happier on test-histedit*.t.
We noticed that many users have the intuition of laving the editor empty when
they want to abort the operation. The fact that dropmissing allows user to
delete all edited commits is not intuitive even for users that asked for it.
Let's prevent people from this footgun.
There are various ways to use histedit such that an item in
the list of things to perform will not result in a change
relative to the previous repository state.
When that happens, histedit does not keep the commit/message.
This changes the note to try to explain to the user that it
will not be present in their history.
The previous version of the code was interpreting markers to a missing
node as a prune in all cases. The expected way to handle such
situation is to keep reading markers, only turning successors into
"prune" if they are at the end of a chain.
We update the code and add a test for this.
Before this change, when histedit exited to interactive session (during edit
command for example), user could introduce obsolescence markers that would not
be known to histedit. For example, user could've amended one of the commits.
The fact of this amendment would not be stored in histedit's state file
and later, when histedit would try to process all the replacements,
one of the final successors (in histedit's opinion) would turn out to be hidden.
This behavior is described in issue4800. This commit fixes it.
I recently broke _histedit into multiple functions, each of which
had 'action' in its name. This is a little bit confusing since 'action'
is the word for an individual histedit plan item (such as edit or pick).
To avoid this confusion, these functions are now renamed to contain
'histedit' as part of their names.
We add _getgoal, _validateargs.
This is a part of bigger effort to refactor histedit. Initial steps are to
break _histedit function into smaller pieces which will supposedly be more
understandable. After this is done, I will have a better understanding
of how histedit works and apply that to fix issue4800.
