You can get into trouble if you commit, update back to an older
changeset, and then rollback. The update removes your valuable changes
from the working dir, then rollback removes them history. Oops: you've
just irretrievably lost data running nothing but core Mercurial
commands. (More subtly: rollback from a shared clone that was already
at an older changeset -- no update required, just rollback from the
wrong directory.)
The fix assumes that only "commit" transactions have irreplaceable
data, and allows rolling back non-commit transactions as always. But
when rolling back a commit, check that the working dir is checked out
to tip, i.e. the changeset we're about to destroy. If not, abort. You
can get back the old (dangerous) behaviour with --force.
The most appropriate context is not always clearly defined. The obvious cases:
For working directory commands, we use None
For commands (eg annotate) with single revs, we use that revision
The less obvious cases:
For commands (eg status, diff) with a pair of revs, we use the second revision
For commands that take a range (like log), we use None
- Add patchmeta.copy() and emit copies from iterhunks. Modifying patchmeta
instances in applydiff() makes things simpler.
- Rename selectfile() into makepatchmeta(). It is responsible for creating
patchmeta for regular patches.
- Pass patchmeta objects to patchfile() directly
patchmeta instances were associated with git patches, for regular patches we
had to pass additional variables to tell the patch intent to patchfile().
Instead, we generate patchmeta for regular patches and pass them. This will
also help with patch filtering by matcher objects.
git patches may require copies to be handled out-of-order. For instance, take
the following sequence:
* modify a
* copy a into b
Here, we have to generate b from a before its modification. To do so,
applydiff() was scanning for copy metadata and performing the copies before
processing the other changes in-order. While smart and efficient, this approach
complicates things by handling file copies and file creations at different
places and times. While a new file must not exist before being patched a copied
file already exists before applying the first hunk.
Instead of copying the files at their final destination before patching, we
store them in a temporary file location and retrieve them when patching. The
filestore always stores file content in real files but nothing prevents adding
a cache layer. The filestore class was kept separate from fsbackend for at
least two reasons:
- This class is likely to be reused as a temporary result store for a future
repository patching call (entries just have to be extended to contain copy
sources).
- Delegating this role to backends might be more efficient in a repository
backend case: the source files are already available in the repository itself
and do not need to be copied again. It also means that third-parties backend
would have to implement two other methods. If we ever decide to merge the
filestore feature into backend, a minimalistic approach would be to compose
with filestore directly. Keep in mind this copy overhead only applies for
copy/rename sources, and may even be reduced to copy sources which have to
handled ahead of time.
The patcher has to know if a file is being created or removed to check if the
target already exists, or to actually unlink the file when a hunk emptying it
is applied. This was done by embedding the creation/removal information in the
first (and only) hunk attached to the file.
There are two problems with this approach:
- creation/removal is really a property of the file being patched and not its
hunk.
- for regular patches, file creation cannot be deduced at parsing time: there
are case where the *stripped* file paths must be compared. Modifying hunks
after their creation is clumsy and prevent further refactorings related to
copies handling.
Instead, we delegate this job to selectfile() which has all the relevant
information, and remove the hunk createfile() and rmfile() methods.
Most filesystem calls are already isolated in patchfile but this is not enough:
renames are performed before patchfile is available and some chmod calls are
even done outside of the applydiff call. Once all these calls are extracted
into a backend class, we can provide cleaner APIs to write to a working
directory context directly into the repository.
These leaks may occur in environments that don't employ a reference
counting GC, i.e. PyPy.
This implies:
- changing opener(...).read() calls to opener.read(...)
- changing opener(...).write() calls to opener.write(...)
- changing open(...).read(...) to util.readfile(...)
- changing open(...).write(...) to util.writefile(...)
Before the additional datefilters (utcdate, svnisodate, svnutcdate)
were used when kwtemplater was initialized. Now they always be used
once the extension is enabled.
* remove obsolete reference to potential problems with merge and import
* emphasize that running kwshrink before configuration changes which
affect active/expanded keywords is mandatory
1) hg cp symlink copy -> copy is a symlink.
2) cp symlink copy; hg cp -A symlink copy -> copy is a regular file.
In the second case we have to follow the symlink to its target
to find out whether we have to unexpand keywords in the copy.
Add test covering the case where the copied link's target is ignored
by keyword but has content which would match the regex for expanded
keywords to check whether we indeed leave the destination alone.
- dirstate of overwritten files must be forced to normal
with kwexpand/kwshrink, not commit.
- recorded files must be weeded before overwriting.
- add test cases.
- move preselection of expansion candidates for rollback
and record into helper function
- same overwrite order in rollback and record:
1. modified, 2. added
- self.wlock() inside kwrepo class instead of repo.wlock()
Comparing sizes is cheaper than comparing file contents, as it does not
involve reading the file on disk or from the filelog.
It is however not always possible: some extensions, or encode filters,
change data when extracting it to the working directory.
There are only 2 patterns to choose, and so far only 1 case
where kwtemplater.re_kw.subn is applied on data read from
the working directory: when recording added files.
With this change the code reflects more closely the boolean
character of the switch and underlines the special case.
