Before this patch, template keywords `{file_mods}`, `{file_adds}` and
`{file_dels}` use values gotten by `repo.status(ctx.p1().node(),
ctx.node())`.
But this doesn't work as expected if `ctx` is `memctx` or
`workingcommitctx`. Typical case of templating with these contexts is
customization of the text shown in the commit message editor by
`[committemplate]` configuration.
In this case, `ctx.node()` returns None and it causes comparison
between `ctx.p1()` and `workingctx`. `workingctx` lists up all changed
files in the working directory even at selective committing.
BTW, `{files}` uses `ctx.files()` and it works as expected.
To compare target context and its parent exactly, this patch passes
`ctx.p1()` and `ctx` without `node()`-nize. This avoids unexpected
comparison with `workingctx`.
This patch uses a little redundant template configurations in
`test-commit.t`, but they are needed to avoid regression around
problems fixed by 17e2fda16f58 and 2b999bc2d89a: accessing on `ctx`
may break `ctx._status` field.
This adds a config flag that enables a user to make empty commits.
This is useful in a number of cases.
For instance, automation that creates release branches via
bookmarks may want to make empty commits to that release bookmark so that it
can't be fast-forwarded and so it can record information about the release
bookmark's creation. This is already possible with named branches, so making it
possible for bookmarks makes sense.
Another case we've wanted it is for mirroring repositories into Mercurial. We
have automation that syncs commits into hg by running things from the command
line. The ability to produce empty commits is useful for syncing unusual commits
from other VCS's.
In general, allowing the user to create the DAG as they see fit seems useful,
and when I mentioned this in IRC more than one person piped up and said they
were already hacking around this limitation by using mq, import, and
commit-dummy-change-then-amend-the-content-away style solutions.
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.
commitctx already showed notes with filenames but didn't provide any context.
It is just as relevant to know when manifest or changelog is committed.
So, in addition to filenames, also show headlines 'committing files:',
'committing manifest' and 'committing changelog'.
Before this patch, the result of "status()" on "workingcommitctx" may
incorrectly contain files other than ones to be committed, because
"workingctx._dirstatestatus()" returns the result of
"dirstate.status()" directly.
For correct matching, this patch overrides "_dirstatestatus" in
"workingcommitctx" and makes it return matched files only in
"self._status".
This patch uses empty list for "deleted", "unknown" and "ignored" of
status, because status between "changectx"s also makes them empty.
Before this patch, "status()" on "workingcommitctx" with "always
match" object causes breaking "self._status" in
"workingctx._buildstatus()", because "workingctx._buildstatus()"
caches the result of "dirstate.status()" into "self._status" for
efficiency, even though it should be fixed at construction for
committing.
For example, template function "diff()" without any patterns in
"committemplate" implies "status()" on "workingcommitctx" with "always
match" object, via "basectx.diff()" and "patch.diff()".
Then, broken "self._status" causes committing unexpected files.
To avoid breaking already fixed "self._status" at "ctx.status()", this
patch overrides "_buildstatus" in "workingcommitctx".
This patch doesn't write out the result of template function "diff()"
in "committemplate" in "test-commit.t", because matching against files
to be committed still has an issue fixed in subsequent patch.
Because:
- the test to avoid regression for issue4470 was already added to
test-commit-amend.t by previous patch
It is also a part of test series about manifest calculation issues
of memctx in test-commit-amend.t.
- this is the only test using "commit --amend" in test-commit.t
filectxfn returns None for removed files, so we have to check for None
before computing the new file content hash for the manifest.
Includes a test that proves this works, by demonstrating that we can
show the diff of an amended commit in the committemplate.
"editform" argument for "getcommiteditor" is decided according to the
format below:
COMMAND[.ROUTE]
- COMMAND: name of command
- ROUTE: name of route, if there are two or more routes in COMMAND
This patch uses "normal.normal" and "normal.merge" as ROUTE of
"editform" instead of "normal", to distinguish merge commits from
others in "hg commit" without "--amend" case.
This patch assumes "editform" variations for "hg commit" below:
commit.normal.normal
commit.normal.merge
commit.amend.normal
commit.amend.merge
"mergeeditform" is factored out for subsequent patches. It takes
"ctxorbool" argument, because context object can't be passed in some
cases.
At the external editor invocation for committing, the value specified
as "editform" for "cmdutil.getcommiteditor" is in "HGEDITFORM".
This enables external editor to do own customization according to
commit types.
Before this patch, '[committemplate] changeset' definition is shared
between all actions invoking 'commitforceeditor()'.
This prevents template definition from showing action specific
messages: for example, 'hg tag --remove' may need specific
message to call attention, but showing it may be redundant for
other actions.
This patch looks commit template definition up by specified
'editform' introduced by prior patches. 'editform' are
dot-separated list of names, and treated as hierarchical one.
This patch makes commit message shown in text editor customizable by
template. For example, this can advertise:
- sample commit messages for routine works,
- points to call attention before commit,
- message of the day, and so on
To show commit message correctly even in problematic encoding, this
patch chooses the latter below:
- replace "buildcommittext" with "buildcommittemplate" completely
- invoke "buildcommittemplate" only if '[committemplate] changeset'
is configured explicitly
For example, if multibyte character ending with backslash (0x5c) is
followed by ASCII character 'n' in the customized template, sequence
of backslash and 'n' is treated as line-feed unexpectedly (and
multibyte character is broken, too).
This corruption occurs in 'decode("string-escape")' while parsing
template string.
The --edit/-e option for the 'commit' command forces editor, even when a
commit message has been provided already by other means, such as by the -m or
-l options.
This should correct an earlier couple of bad merges (5433856b2558 and
596960a4ad0d, now pruned) that accidentally brought in a change that had
been marked obsolete (244ac996a821).
In d87f1c1d18fa, be4d37a43992, 394118f2cf71, and 7594c2ea371e, new tests were
added that used TESTDIR instead of TESTTMP thereby leading to polluting the
working directory with these temporary files. Now, we use TESTTMP so that they
will be cleaned up properly.
Before this patch, "localrepository.commit()" invokes specified
"editor" to edit commit message manually, and saves it after checking
sub-repositories.
This may lose manually edited commit message, if unexpected exception
is raised while checking (or commiting recursively) sub-repositories.
This patch saves manually edited commit message as soon as possible.
Unknown requirements will now be reported as:
abort: repository requires features unknown to this Mercurial: largefiles!
(see http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MissingRequirement for more information)
Some features of this phrasing:
* avoid double ':' in abort message
* make it more clear who requires and knows what
* don't quote the requirement names - it is not something the user entered or
need the exact spelling of ... and it is "identifiers" that are unambiguous
anyway
* remove double hint by removing "(upgrade Mercurial)" comment
* don't mention upgrading Mercurial without mentioning enabling the feature -
instead, just refer to wiki page for both
* don't just talk about "details", talk about "more information"
If there is an active bookmark while committing, the bookmark name
will be visible inside the commit message helper, below the branch
name.
This should make easier for the user to detect a mistaken commit
parent, while working for example with a bookmark centric workflow
like topic branches.
The active bookmark is checked to be in the working directory, as
pointed by Kevin Bullock, because otherwise committing would not
advance it. In other words, this would not show the active
bookmark name if the user changed the working tree parents with
'hg debugsetparents', for example.
Quite a few tests fail in noisy but meaningless ways when the test suite
is run with generaldelta enabled:
./run-tests.py --extra-config-opt=format.generaldelta=1
This reduces the amount of noise introduced by the debugindex command,
the main source of differences. In my environment, when testing with
generaldelta enabled, this change reduces the number of completely
failing tests from 21 to 8.
Many tests didn't change back from subdirectories at the end of the tests ...
and they don't have to. The missing 'cd ..' could always be added when another
test case is added to the test file.
This change do that tests (99.5%) consistently end up in $TESTDIR where they
started, thus making it simpler to extend them or move them around.
This specific cd .. leaves the base directory of the test ($TESTTMP).
Removing it avoids that test artifacts (e.g. files) are created
outside of the base directory.
This makes it possible to have conditional sections like:
#if windows
$ echo foo
foo
#else
$ echo bar
bar
#endif
The directives and skipped sections are treated like comments, so don't
interleave them with commands and their output.
The parameters to #if are evaluated while preparing the test by passing them
over to hghave. Requirements can thus be negated with 'no-' prefix, and
multiple requirements must all be true to return true.
Globbing is usually used for filenames, so on windows it is reasonable and very
convenient that glob patterns accepts '\' or '/' when the pattern specifies
'/'.
The wiki page is intended to describe several solution to the requirement issue.
Some of those solutions does not involve upgrading mercurial. That is very
useful for people that can't easily upgrade they Mercurial in some place.
Before, you could experience the following strange interaction:
$ hg commit
nothing changed
$ hg merge
abort: outstanding uncommitted changes
which confused at least one user in #mercurial.
This improves the misleading error message
$ hg identify
abort: there is no Mercurial repository here (.hg not found)!
to the more explicit
$ hg identify
abort: requirement 'fake' not supported!
for all commands in commands.optionalrepo, which includes the identify
and serve commands in particular.
This is for the case when a new entry in .hg/requires will be defined
in a future Mercurial release.
Many tests fixed the commit date of their changesets at '1000000 0' or
similar. However testing with "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970 +0000" is not
better than testing with "Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000", which is
the default run-tests.py installs.
Removing the unnecessary flag removes some clutter and will hopefully
make it clearer what the tests are really trying to test. Some tests
did not even change their output when the dates were changed, in which
case the -d flag was truly irrelevant.
Dates used in sequence (such as '0 0', '1 0', etc...) were left alone
since they may make the test easier to understand.
