We're going to add a separate record type for change/delete conflicts soon. We
need to make sure they get stored with the correct record type so that older
versions of Mercurial correctly abort when they see change/delete records.
c67339617276 (while 3.4 code-freeze) made all 'update' hooks run after
releasing wlock for visibility of in-memory dirstate changes. But this
breaks paired invocation of 'preupdate' and 'update' hooks.
For example, 'hg backout --merge' for TARGET revision, which isn't
parent of CURRENT, consists of steps below:
1. update from CURRENT to TARGET
2. commit BACKOUT revision, which backs TARGET out
3. update from BACKOUT to CURRENT
4. merge TARGET into CURRENT
Then, we expects hooks to run in the order below:
- 'preupdate' on CURRENT for (1)
- 'update' on TARGET for (1)
- 'preupdate' on BACKOUT for (3)
- 'update' on CURRENT for (3)
- 'preupdate' on TARGET for (4)
- 'update' on CURRENT/TARGET for (4)
But hooks actually run in the order below:
- 'preupdate' on CURRENT for (1)
- 'preupdate' on BACKOUT for (3)
- 'preupdate' on TARGET for (4)
- 'update' on TARGET for (1), but actually on CURRENT/TARGET
- 'update' on CURRENT for (3), but actually on CURRENT/TARGET
- 'update' on CURRENT for (4), but actually on CURRENT/TARGET
Root cause of the issue focused by c67339617276 is that external
'update' hook process can't view in-memory changes (especially, of
dirstate), because they aren't written out until the end of
transaction (or wlock).
Now, hooks can be invoked just after updating, because previous
patches made in-memory changes visible to external process.
This patch may break backward compatibility from the point of view of
"scheduling hook execution", but should be reasonable because 'update'
hooks had been executed in this order before 3.4.
This patch tests "hg backout" and "hg unshelve", because the former
activates the transaction before 'update' hook invocation, but the
former doesn't.
This patch centralizes passing HG_PENDING to external hook process
into '_exthook()'. To make in-memory changes visible to external hook
process, this patch does:
- write (or schedule to write) in-memory dirstate changes, and
- set HG_PENDING environment variable, if:
- a transaction is running, and
- there are in-memory changes to be visible
This patch tests some commands with some hooks, because transaction
activity of a same hook differs from each other ("---": "not tested").
======== ========= ========= ============
command preupdate precommit pretxncommit
======== ========= ========= ============
unshelve o --- ---
backout x --- ---
import --- o o
qrefresh --- x o
======== ========= ========= ============
Each hooks are examined separately to prevent in-memory changes from
being visible to external process accidentally by side effect of hooks
previously invoked.
Before this patch, in-memory dirstate changes aren't written out at
opening transaction, even though 'journal.dirstate' is created
directly from '.hg/dirstate'.
Therefore, subsequent 'hg rollback' uses incomplete 'undo.dirstate' to
restore dirstate, if dirstate is changed and isn't written out before
opening transaction.
In cases below, the condition "dirstate is changed and isn't written
out before opening transaction" isn't satisfied and this problem
doesn't appear:
- "wlock scope" and "transaction scope" are almost equivalent
e.g. 'commit --amend', 'import' and so on
- dirstate changes are written out before opening transaction
e.g. 'rebase' (via 'dirstateguard') and 'commit -A' (by separated
wlock scopes)
On the other hand, 'backout' may satisfy the condition above.
To make 'journal.dirstate' contain in-memory changes before opening
transaction, this patch explicitly invokes 'dirstate.write()' in
'localrepository.transaction()'.
'dirstate.write()' is placed before not "writing journal files out"
but "invoking pretxnopen hooks" for visibility of dirstate changes to
external hook processes.
BTW, in the test script, 'touch -t 200001010000' and 'hg status' are
invoked to make file 'c' surely clean in dirstate, because "clean but
unsure" files indirectly cause 'dirstate.write()' at 'repo.status()'
in 'repo.commit()' (see e1d123a2ee1f for detail) and prevents from
certainly reproducing the issue.
The phase of the pending commit depends on the parent of the working directory
and on the phases.newcommit configuration.
First, this information rather depend on the commit line which describe the
pending commit.
Then, we only want to be advertised when the pending phase is going to be higher
than the default new commit phase.
So the format will change from
$ hg summary
parent: 2:ab91dfabc5ad
foo
parent: 3:24f1031ad244 tip
bar
branch: default
commit: 1 modified, 1 unknown, 1 unresolved (merge)
update: (current)
phases: 1 secret (secret)
to
parent: 2:ab91dfabc5ad
foo
parent: 3:24f1031ad244 tip
bar
branch: default
commit: 1 modified, 1 unknown, 1 unresolved (merge) (secret)
update: (current)
phases: 1 secret
This warning exists to prevent git users from prematurely polluting
their namespace when trying out Mercurial. But for repos that already
have multiple branches, understanding what branches are is not
optional so we should just shut up.
The number of draft and secret changesets are currently not summarized.
This is an important information because the number of drafts give some rough
idea of the number of outgoing changesets in typical workflows, without needing
to probe a remote repository. And a non-zero number of secrets means that
those changeset will not be pushed.
If the repository is "dirty" - some draft or secret changesets exists - then
summary will display a line like:
phases: X draft, Y secret (public)
The phase in parenthesis corresponds to the highest phase of the parents of
the working directory, i.e. the current phase.
By default, the line is not printed if the repository is "clean" - all
changesets are public - but if verbose is activated, it will display:
phases: (public)
On the other hand, nothing will be printed if quiet is in action.
A few tests have been added in test-phases.t to cover the -v and -q cases.
Mercurial backout command makes a commmit by default only when the backed out
revision is the parent of working directory and doesn't commit in any other
case.
The --commit option changes behaviour of backout to make a commit whenever
possible (i.e. there is no unresolved conflicts). This behaviour seems more
intuitive to many use (especially git users migrating to hg).
The recently introduced message was:
no unresolved files; you may continue your unfinished operation
This had three problems:
- looks a bit like an error message because it's not saying "we've
just resolved the last file"
- refers to "unfinished operation", which won't be the case with
"update" or "merge"
- introduces semicolons to error messages, which is stylistically
questionable
I've simplified this to:
no more unresolved files
In the future, if we want to prompt someone to continue a particular operation, we should use
a hint style:
no more unresolved files
(use 'hg graft --continue' to finish grafting)
When using resolve, users often have to consult with the output of |hg
resolve -l| to see if any unresolved files remain. This step is tedious
and adds overhead to resolving.
This patch will notify a user if there are no unresolved files remaining
after executing |hg resolve|::
no unresolved files; you may continue your unfinished operation
The patch stops short of telling the user exactly what command should be
executed to continue the unfinished operation. That is because this
information is not currently captured anywhere. This would make a
compelling follow-up feature.
If backout generated no changes to commit, it showed wrong status, "changeset
<target> backs out changeset <target>", and raised TypeError with -v option.
This changes the return code to 1, which is the same as "hg commit" and
"hg rebase".
We can use the "other" data from the recorded merge state instead of inferring
what the other could be from working copy parent. This will allow resolve to
fulfil its duty even when the second parent have been dropped.
Most direct benefit is fixing a regression in backout.
In some case Backout silently succeeded to back out but left all the change
uncommitted. This may be confusing for user so this changeset add a note
reminding to commit. Other backout case already actively informs the user about
created commit.
Before the changeset the backout process was:
1) go to <target>
2) revert to <target> parent
3) update back to changeset we came from
The two update steps can takes a very long time to move back and forth unrelated
file change between <target> and current working directory.
The new process is just merging current working directory with the parent of
<target> using <target> as ancestor. This give the very same result but skip
the two updates. On big repo with a lot of files and changes that save a lots of
time (x20 for one week window).
The "merge" version (hg backout --merge) is still done with upgrades. We could
imagine using in memory commit to speed it up but this is another fish.
The main goal is to monitor that working directory parent are correct after
backout. This will be useful the next changeset introducting magic merge usage.
Some tests ended up in a directory several directories deeper than $TESTTMP,
usually because some 'cd ..' had been forgotten between different test cases.
Add 'cd ..' where they are missing so the tests get back where they started.
This has never worked usefully:
- it can't undo a completely unwanted merge, as it leaves the merge in the DAG
- it can't undo a faulty merge as that means doing a merge correctly,
not simply reverting to one or the other parent
Both of these kinds of merge also require coordinated action among
developers to avoid the bad merge continuing to affect future merges,
so we should stop pretending that backout is of any help here.
As backing out a merge now requires a hidden option, it can't be done
by accident, but will continue to 'work' for anyone who's already
dependent on --parent for some unknown reason.
Previously, when rolling back a transaction, some users could be confused
between the level to which the store is rolled back, and the new parents
of the working directory.
$ hg rollback
rolling back to revision 4 (undo commit)
With this change:
$ hg rollback
repository tip rolled back to tip revision 4 (undo commit)
working directory now based on revision 2 and 1
So now the user can realize that the store has been rolled back to an older
tip, but also that the working directory may not on the tip (here we are
rolling back the merge of the heads 2 and 1)
This changes backouts changeset to retain linear history, .e. it is committed
as a child of the working directory parent, not the reverted changeset
parent.
The default behavior was previously to just commit a reverted change as a
child of the backed out changeset - thus creating a new head. Most of
the time, you would use the --merge option, as it does not make sense to
keep this dangling head as is.
The previous behavior could be obtained by using 'hg update --clean .' after a
'hg backout --merge'.
The --merge option itself is not affected by this change. There is also
still an autocommit of the backout if a merge is not needed, i.e. in case
the backout is the parent of the working directory.
Previously we had (pwd = parent of the working directory):
pwd older
backout auto merge
backout --merge auto commit
With the new linear approach:
pwd older
backout auto commit
backout --merge auto commit
auto: commit done by the backout command
merge: backout also already committed but explicit merge and commit needed
commit: user need to commit the update/merge
