This changeset finally make 'hg rebase' choose its default destination using the
same logic as 'hg merge'. The previous default was "tipmost changeset on the
current branch", the new default is "the other head if there is only one". This
change has multiple consequences:
- Multiple tests which were not rebasing anything (rebasing from tipmost head)
are now rebasing on the other "lower" branch. This is the expected new
behavior.
- A test is now explicitly aborting when there is too many heads on the branch.
This is the expected behavior.
- We gained a better detection of the "nothing to rebase" case while performing
'hg pull --rebase' so the message have been updated. Making clearer than an
update was performed and why. This is beneficial side-effect.
- Rebasing from an active bookmark will behave the same as 'hg merge' from a
bookmark.
The update logic have grow more and more complicated over time (eg bookmark
movement, new destination logic, warning on other head, etc). The rebase
extension was reimplementing its own basic version of update to be used by 'hg
pull --rebase'. We remove the custom code and use a combination of higher level
functions.
A test is added to check that the update is properly warning about other branch
heads.
I recently discovered that 'hg pull --rebase' was also running an update. And it
was running it in all cases as long as the update would move the working copy
somewhere else...
This felt wrong and it actually is. This 'update' call is introduced in
8bea699a182c. In that commit the intent is very clear. The update should happen
only when there was nothing to rebase. The implementation did not check if a
rebase was performed because, at that time, rebase would always leave you on the
top most changeset. Being on that top most changeset result in a no-op update
and the step was skipped.
However 642dc7838453d changed rebase behavior to preserve the working copy
parent, so if we are not on a head at pull time, the code performs both a rebase
and an update.
This changeset introduce a test for this case and restore the intended behavior.
There are other issues with this custom update code but they will be addressed
in later changeset (eg: own destination logic, lack of heads warning).
I'm not super happy with the explicitly comparison 'rebase(...) == 1' but a
later series will have a cleaner way to handle it anyway (while making 'rebase'
pick its default destination like 'merge').
The bundle10 format (plain changegroup-01) does not support general delta and
result into expensive delta re-computation when stripping. If the repository is
general delta, we store backups as bundle20 containing a changegroup-02 payload.
We remove the experimental feature related to strip backup bundle format because
this achieve the same goal in a leaner way. Removing the experimental option is
fine, that is why it experimental in the first place.
Compression of these bundles are coming in later changesets.
addchangegroup() modifies its behavior based on the transaction source.
This is incorrect for bundle2 repair files, causing rebases to abort when this
option is enabled.
This diff specifies the source type in the way recommended by comments in
bundle2.py and adds a test to ensure that rebases with the experimental option
work successfully.
Previously, a backup bundle could overwrite an existing bundle and cause user
data loss. For instance, if you have A<-B<-C and strip B, it produces backup
bundle B-backup.hg. If you then hg pull -r B B-backup.hg and strip it again, it
overwrites the existing B-backup.hg and C is lost.
The fix is to add a hash of all the nodes inside that bundle to the filename.
Fixed up existing tests and added a new test in test-strip.t
Show status messages while rebasing, similar to what graft do:
rebasing 12:2647734878ef "fork" (tip)
This gives more context for the user when resolving conflicts.
Globbing the hash made it harder to maintain tests with run-tests -i when it
was so far by the generated test output.
The hashes are stable and we just need to add a (glob).
Before it just said 'nothing to rebase'.
Now 'if "base" is an empty set:
abort: empty "base" revision set - can't compute rebase set
If the set of changesets to rebase can't be found from "base", it will fail as
before but with more explanation of what the problem was.
The name of the "base" option is not obvious - it is more like "samples
identifying the branch to rebase". The error messages for problems with the
specified "base" value will use that term and might thus also not be obvious,
but at least they are consistent with the option name. The name "base" will not
be used if the base only was specified implicitly as the working directory
parent.
Rebase also have a plain `--rev` option used to select the rebase set (as
`--base` or `--source` would). But the content of the --rev option was intended
for the remote repo and is irrelevant for the local rebase operation. We expect
`hg pull --rebase` to stick with the default behavior here:
hg rebase --base . --dest tip(branch(.))
The `rev` option is dropped from the option passed to rebase.
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.
Globbing is usually used for filenames, so on windows it is reasonable and very
convenient that glob patterns accepts '\' or '/' when the pattern specifies
'/'.
