Before this patch, destupdate() returns the tipmost (descendant)
branch head regardless of closed or not. But updating to closed branch
head isn't reasonable for ordinary workflow, because:
- "hg heads" doesn't show closed heads (= updated parent itself) by
default
- subsequent committing on it re-opens closed branch
even if inactivation of closed head is needed, update destination
isn't it, because it should be merged into to another branch in
such case.
This patch chooses non-closed descendant branch head as default update
destination at first. If all descendant branch heads are closed,
destupdate() returns the tipmost closed branch head.
For simplicity, this patch chooses adding _destupdatebranchfallback()
instead largely changing _destupdatebranch().
This patch changes not only normal lookup code path, but also the "no
default branch" code path, for consistency.
Previously, the template keyword '{activebookmark}' would only display the
active bookmark if it was also pointing to the working directory's parent.
Meanwhile, the '{active}' subkeyword of the '{bookmarks}' keyword displays
the active bookmark regardless of whether it also points to the working
directory's parent. This is confusing.
Consider the output of these two templates:
$ hg log -T '{activebookmark}\n' -r indent
$ hg log -T '{bookmarks % "{bookmark}"}\n' -r indent
indent
This is the current behavior that can arise after, eg, a pull moves a bookmark
out from under you. After this patch, the first template will also return the
active bookmark that points to a revision, even if it is not the current
parent of the working directory. A test has been added to show the new behavior.
Today, the terms 'active' and 'current' are interchangeably used throughout the
codebase in reference to the active bookmark (the bookmark that will be updated
with the next commit). This leads to confusion among developers and users.
This patch is part of a series to standardize the usage to 'active' throughout
the mercurial codebase and user interface.
When updating to a bookmark, mention that the bookmark is now
active. This is a reminder that update does not move the
current bookmark if an explicit target is given - instead
it activates that target.
This change allows setting or deleting multiple bookmarks at once. If more than
one is being set and --inactive is not given, the first one is made active.
This patch resolves divergent bookmarks between the current active bookmark
MARK and the new destination. This situation can arise when pulling new
changesets, abandoning your current changesets actively bookmarked with MARK
via strip, and then doing a bare update. The non-divergent but active bookmark
MARK is then moved to a common ancestor of the new changesets and the abandoned
changesets.
Test coverage is added.
a0d2da57b726 added this help text to hg bookmark:
If no NAME is given, the current active bookmark will be marked inactive.
But that was never actually the case.
Originally spotted by Idan Kamara <idankk86@gmail.com>.
Adds a -i/--inactive flag to the bookmarks command to create or move a
bookmark without making it the current one. This lets you use a bookmark
like a shareable, movable 'tag' and less like a 'branch'.
Thanks to Alexander Solovyov <alexander@solovyov.net> for most of the
work of implementation, and Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> for
suggesting the option name.
