When updating to a bookmark, mention that the bookmark is now
active. This is a reminder that update does not move the
current bookmark if an explicit target is given - instead
it activates that target.
This change allows setting or deleting multiple bookmarks at once. If more than
one is being set and --inactive is not given, the first one is made active.
This patch resolves divergent bookmarks between the current active bookmark
MARK and the new destination. This situation can arise when pulling new
changesets, abandoning your current changesets actively bookmarked with MARK
via strip, and then doing a bare update. The non-divergent but active bookmark
MARK is then moved to a common ancestor of the new changesets and the abandoned
changesets.
Test coverage is added.
a0d2da57b726 added this help text to hg bookmark:
If no NAME is given, the current active bookmark will be marked inactive.
But that was never actually the case.
Originally spotted by Idan Kamara <idankk86@gmail.com>.
Adds a -i/--inactive flag to the bookmarks command to create or move a
bookmark without making it the current one. This lets you use a bookmark
like a shareable, movable 'tag' and less like a 'branch'.
Thanks to Alexander Solovyov <alexander@solovyov.net> for most of the
work of implementation, and Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> for
suggesting the option name.
