When a directory was renamed and a new untracked file was added in the
new directory and the remote directory added a file by the same name
in the old directory, the local untracked file gets overwritten, as
demonstrated by the broken test case in test-rename-dir-merge.
Fix by checking for unknown files for 'dg' actions too. Since
_checkunknownfile() currently expects the same filename in both
contexts, we need to add a new parameter for the remote filename to
it.
When the local side has renamed a directory from a/ to b/ and added a
file b/c in it, and the remote side has added a file a/c, we end up
overwriting the local file b/c with the contents of remote file
a/c. Add a check for this case and use the merge ('m') action in this
case instead of the directory rename get ('dg') action.
When the remote side has renamed a directory from a/ to b/ and added a
file b/c in it, and the local side has added a file a/c, we end up
moving a/c to b/c without considering the remote version of b/c. Add a
check for this case and use the merge ('m') action in this case
instead of the directory rename ('dm') action.
Changset 281e85651e92 (merge: demonstrate that directory renames can
lose local file content, 2014-12-02) should clearly have added the
reverse version of the test: where the remote side renamed a
directory, added a new file in that directory, and the local directory
added a conflicting file in the source directory. Add such a test now,
and also touch up the ones already added slightly (e.g. 'local' was a
stupid value for content that can be on either side of a merge).
When a directory has been renamed on the local branch and a file has
been added in the old location on a remote branch, we move that new
file to the new location. Unfortunately, if there is already a file
there, we overwrite it with the contents from the remote branch. For
untracked local files, we should probably abort, and for tracked local
files, we should merge the contents. To start with, let's add a test
to demonstrate the breakage. Also note that while files merged in from
a remote branch are normally (and unintuitively) reported as modified,
these files are reported as added.
Preparing for action list split-up, making sure the final change don't have any
test changes.
The patch moves debug statements around without really changing anything.
Arguably, it temporarily makes the code worse. The only justification is that
it makes it easier to review the test changes ... and in the end the big change
will not change test output at all.
The changes to test output are due to changes in the ordering of debug output.
That is mainly because we now do the debug logging for files when we actually
process them. Files are also processed in a slightly different but still
correct order. It is now primarily ordered by action type, secondarily by
filename.
The patch introduces some redundancy. Some of it will be removed again, some of
it will in the end help code readability and efficiency. It is possible that we
later on could introduce a "process this action list and do some logging and
progress reporting and apply this function".
The "preserving X for resolve" debug statements will only have single space
indentation. It will no longer have a leading single space indented "f: msg ->
m" message. Having this message double indented would thus no longer make
sense.
The bid actions will temporarily be sorted using a custom sort key that happens
to match the sort order the simplified code will have in the end.
"merge.applyupdates()" sorts "actions" in removal first order, and
"workeractions" derived from it should be also sorted.
If each actions in "workeractions" are executed in serial, this
sorting ensures that merging/updating process is collision free,
because updating the file in target context is always executed after
removing the existing file which causes case-folding collision against
the former.
In the other hand, if each actions are executed in parallel, updating
on a worker process may be executed before removing on another worker
process, because "worker.partition()" partitions list of actions
regardless of type of each actions.
This patch divides "workeractions" into removing and updating, and
executes the former first.
This patch still scans "actions"/"workeractions" some times for ease
of patch review, even though large list may cost much in this way.
(total cost should be as same as before)
This also changes some tests, because dividing "workeractions" affects
progress indication.
The -> in debug messages is currently overloaded to mean both source to dest
and dest to source. To fix this, we add explicit labels and make the arrow
direction consistent.
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 removes use of unknown files for building the synthetic working
directory manifest used by manifestmerge. Instead, we adopt the
strategy used by _checkunknown.
Side-effect: unknown files are no longer moved by remote directory
renames, and now are left alone like ignored files.
Globbing is usually used for filenames, so on windows it is reasonable and very
convenient that glob patterns accepts '\' or '/' when the pattern specifies
'/'.
