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.
The resolve command is only relevant when mergestate is present.
This patch will make resolve abort when no mergestate is present.
This change will let people know when they are using resolve when they
shouldn't be. This change will let people know when their use of resolve
doesn't do anything.
Previously, |hg resolve -m| would allow mergestate to be created. This
patch now forbids that. Strictly speaking, this is backwards
incompatible. The author of this patch believes creating mergestate via
resolve doesn't make much sense and this side-effect was unintended.
Some code branches and exceptional circumstances such as empty
mergestate files could result in mergestate._local and
mergestate._other not being defined or reset to None. These variables
are now correctly set to None when they should be.
The current situation is a bit of a layering violation as
merge-specific knowledge is pushed down to lower layers and leaks
merge assumptions into other code paths.
Here, we simply silence the warning with a hack. Both the warning and
the hack will probably go away in the near future when bid merge is
made the default.
Bid merge is a new rarely used feature that the user explicitly enabled - we
should tell/warn when the user actually is using it, just like we tell when we
not are using it.
Give a message like
note: merging 3b08d01b0ab5+ and adfe50279922 using bids from ancestors 0f6b37dbe527 and 40663881a6dd
The basic idea is to do the merge planning with all the available ancestors,
consider the resulting actions as "bids", make an "auction" and
automatically pick the most favourable action for each file.
This implements the basic functionality and will only consider "keep" and
"get" actions. The heuristics for picking the best action can be tweaked later
on.
By default it will only pass ctx.ancestor as the single ancestor to
calculateupdates. The code path for merging with a single ancestor is not
changed.
Such a 'keep' action will later be the preferred (non)action when there
is multiple ancestors. It is thus very convenient to have it explicitly.
The extra actions will only be emitted in the case where the local file has
changed since the ancestor but the other hasn't. That is the symmetrical
operation to a 'get' action.
This will create more action tuples that not really serve a purpose. The number
of actions will however have the number of changed files as upper bound and it
should thus not increase the memory/cpu use significantly.
test-merge-types.t changes a bit in flag merging. It relied on the
implementation detail that 100% identical revlog entries are reused. The revlog
reuse did that fctx.ancestor() saw an ancestor where there really not was one.
Before this patch, "contrib/check-code.py" can't detect these
problems, because the regexp pattern to detect "% inside _()" doesn't
suppose the case that the format string and "%" aren't placed in the
same line.
This patch replaces "\s" in that regexp pattern with "[ \t\n]" to
detect "% inside _()" problems in such case.
"[\s\n]" can't be used in this purpose, because "\s" is automatically
replaced with "[ \t]" by "_preparepats()" and "\s" in "[]" causes
nested "[]" unexpectedly.
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.
This data is mostly redundant with the "other" changeset node (+ other changeset
file path). However, more data never hurt.
The old format do not store it so this require some dancing to add and remove it
on demand.
When we have to fallback to the old version of the file, we infer the
"other" from current working directory parent. The same way it is currently done
in the resolve command. This is know to have shortcoming… but we cannot do
better from the data contained in the old file format. This is actually the
motivation to add this new file format.
We need to record the merge we were merging with. This solve multiple
bug with resolve when dropping the second parent after a merge. This
happen a lot when doing special merge (overriding the ancestor).
Backout, shelve, rebase, etc. can takes advantage of it.
This changeset just add the information in the merge state. We'll use it in the
resolve process in a later changeset.
This new format will allow us to address common bugs while doing special merge
(graft, backout, rebase…) and record user choice during conflict resolution.
The format is open so we can add more record for future usage.
This file still store hexified version of node to help human willing to debug
it by hand. The overhead or oversize are not expected be an issue.
The old format is still used. It will be written to disk along side the newer
format. And at parse time we detect if the data from old version of the
mergestate are different from the one in the new version file. If its the same,
both have most likely be written at the same time and you can trust the extra
data from the new file. If it differs, the old file have been written by an
older version of mercurial that did not knew about the new file. In that case we
use the content of the old file.
The format of the file is unchanged. But we are preparing a new file with a new
format that would be record based. So we change all the read/write logic to
handle a list of record until a very low level. This will allow simple plugging
of the new format in the current code.
Merge could overwrite untracked files and cause data loss.
Instead we now handle the 'local side removed file and has untracked file
instead' case as the 'other side added file that local has untracked' case:
FILE: untracked file exists
abort: untracked files in working directory differ from files in requested revision
It could perhaps make sense to create .orig files when overwriting, either
instead of aborting or when overwriting anyway because of force ... but for now
we stay consistent with similar cases.
The tests shows no real changes because of this ... but there must be some
weird corner cases where using the right ancestor for the merge planning is
better than using the wrong one.
Previously, a bare update would ignore any successor changesets thus
potentially leaving you on an obsolete head. This happens commonly when there
is an old bookmark that hasn't been moved forward which is the motivating
reason for this patch series.
Now, we will check for successor changesets if two conditions hold: 1) we are
doing a bare update 2) *and* we are currently on an obsolete head.
If we are in this situation, then we calculate the branchtip of the successor
set and update to that changeset.
Tests coverage has been added.
Forgets need to be in the beginning of the action list, same as removes. This
lets us avoid clashes in the dirstate where a directory is forgotten and a
file with the same name is added, or vice versa.
hg update . (or equivalents) are effectively no-ops in just about all
circumstances. These sorts of updates can be especially common in a
bookmark-oriented workflow. This saves us a status check and a manifest
decompression, which means that on a repo with over 210,000 files, this brings
hg update . down from 2.5 seconds to 0.15.
There is one change in behavior: a file that was added, not committed, and then
deleted but not removed used to be removed from the dirstate. With this patch
it isn't. This is what causes the change in test-mq-qpush-exact.t. This seems
like it's enough of an edge case to not be worth handling.
The output of test-empty.t changes because those files are not yet created.
