Selecting editing commits, rewording commit messages, and
selecting commits are key actions, we will prefer them more
generally in a future commit, this pulls them ahead before
that to make the diffs easier to read.
The remaining commands are left alphabetically sorted
Back in June we made histedit use obsolete markers to cleanup when possible.
This was rolled back as part of bb3db0db4037 (which should have only rolled back
the --abort stuff, but rolled back everything). This caused a nasty bug when
used in conjuction with the inhibit+directaccess extensions where histedit would
leave old nodes around even after they had been squashed away.
The root of the problem is that we first clean up old nodes, and then we clean
up temp nodes. In the first pass, when we obsoleted old nodes, some would become
unobsolete because they had temp nodes on top of them, thus making them stick
around even after the histedit finished.
The fix is to A) move the temp node cleanup to be before the old node cleanup
(since they are topological on top of the old nodes), and B) use obsolete
markers instead of stripping.
The faulty changeset use obsolescence marker to roll the repository back on
--abort. This is a problematic approach because --abort should be as close as an
actually transaction rollback as possible stripping all created data from the
repository (cf `hg rebase --abort` stripping all created changesets). Instead
3e883e7ec57b made all content created during the aborted histedit still
available in the repository adding obsolescence marker to make them hidden. This
will cause trouble to evolution user as a re-run of the same histedit (with
success) will likely result in the very same node to be "recreated" while
obsolescence marker would be in place for them. And canceling an obsoletion is
still a fairly complicated process.
This also rollback using obsmarkers instead of strip to clean up temporary node
on successful histedit run because the two change were not split in separated
changeset. Rolling that part back does not have significant consequence a will
have to be resubmitted independently
Before this patch, we were stripping temporary commits at the end of a histedit
whether it was successful or not. If we can create obs markers, we should
create them instead of stripping because it is faster and safer.
The phrase "cannot edit immutable changeset" is kind of tautological.
Of course unchangeable things can't be changed. We instead mention
"public" and provide a hint so that we can point to the actual
problem. Even in cases where some operation other than edition cannot
be performed, "public" gives the root cause that results in the
"immutable" effect.
There is a precedent for saying "public" instead of "immutable", for
example, in `hg commit --amend`.
This converts the fold/roll actions into a histeditclass instance, as part of an
ongoing effort to refactor histedit for maintainability and robustness.
The tests changed for two reasons:
1) We get a new 'empty changeset' warning because we now warn more consistently
between normal histedit and --continue about commits disappearing.
2) Previously we were not putting the histedit-source extra field on the
temporary fold commit during normal runs, but we were on --continue runs. By
unifying these code paths we now consistently put histedit-source on the
temporary fold commit, which changes some of the hashes in the backup bundles.
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.
The obsolete._enabled flag has become a config option. This updates all but one
of the tests to use the minimal number of flags necessary for them to pass. For
most tests this is just 'createmarkers', for a couple tests it's
'allowunstable', and for even fewer it's 'exchange'.
This new histedit command (short for "rollup") is a variant of "fold" akin to
"hg amend" for working copy: it accumulates changes without interrupting
the user and asking for an updated commit message.
In the way to solving issue3813 we'll preserve the working directory parent
after the rebase. Multiple rebases test expect the working directory parent to
be tip after rebase. We patches them before the actual change to prevent
confusion.
This is simpler than temporary file version. There some minor test
changes since commit messages are no longer modifed. There is still
some tests using --commands with a real file.
Before this changeset, histedit created all new changesets according
phases.new-commit option without any regards for the phases of the original
changesets.
This changeset fix that using the phase of rewritten changeset to decide the
phase of the resulting changeset. In case of reordering or folding, we keep
secret item secret as it seems the safer path.
temporary commit creation are not affected. They are head only and stripped at
the end of the histedit.
As for the resolution of issue3681 (obsolescence cycle prevention), we do not
handle changesets created by edit command.
The current test does not rewrite anything and therefor does not create any
instability.
We also clean up the repo state after the test. This required the rebase
extension.
Have histedit record the hex of the original changeset as already done by:
- graft
- commit --amend
- rebase
My main motivation for adding this is to prevent the creation of obsolescence cycle
(see issue3681).
Note that commit created during edit are not affected yet.
The `ui.prevent-unstable` option never made it into core. It always behaves
this way when obsolescence feature is enabled.
See changesets caaf2a66c719, f111507ae88a and 51dfebaadebc for details.
Obsolescence markers can represent this situation just fine. Rewritten
revisions are marked as precursors of the ones creates by
histedit. Unaffected descendants become "unstable".
If obsolescence is not enabled we keep the current behavior of
aborting. This new behavior only applies when obsolete is
enabled and is subject to future discussion and changes.
We do not want hidden revision to block histedit. They are already "dead"
and we do not care about dead orphans. see similar changeset 40db49347807 for
rebase.
When the obsolete feature is enabled, histedit creates obsolescence marker
instead of stripping replaced changesets.
For now, we keep stripping temporary nodes created along the way.
