Unlike changeset_printer, it does not hide the manifest field because JSON
output will be parsed by machine where explicit "null" will be more useful
than nothing.
The previous code was adding standin files to the matcher's file list when
neither the standin file nor the original existed in the context. Somehow, this
was confusing the logging code into behaving differently from when the extension
wasn't loaded.
It seems that this was an attempt to support naming a directory that only
contains largefiles, as a test fails if the else clause is dropped entirely.
Therefore, only append the "standin" if it is a directory. This was found by
running the test suite with --config extensions.largefiles=.
The first added test used to log an additional cset that wasn't logged normally.
The only relation it had to file 'a' is that 'a' was the source of a move, but
it isn't clear why having '.hglf/a' in the list causes this change:

Note that there is still something fishy with the largefiles code, because when
using a glob pattern like this:
$ hg log 'glob:sub/*'
the pattern list would contain '.hglf/glob:sub/*'. None of the tests show this
(this test lives in test-largefiles.t at 1349), it was just something that I
noticed when the code was loaded up with print statements.
When the manifest revision is stored as a delta against a non-parent revision,
'_adjustlinkrev' could miss some file update because it was using the delta
only. We now use the 'fastread' method that uses the delta only when it makes
sense.
A test showcasing on the of possible issue have been added.
Upcoming patches will change the way that log output is generated so we add a
test to ensure that the words 'branches', 'bookmarks', and 'tags' are still
translated.
When logging '.hglf/foo', the pattern list was being transformed from
['.hglf/foo'] into ['.hglf/foo', '.hglf/.hglf/foo']. Aside from the
pathological case of somebody getting a directory named '.hglf' created inside
the standing directory, the old code shouldn't have had any bad effects.
(amended by mpm to sort patterns for test stability and not upset check-code)
Adding the standin to the patterns list was (possibly) harmless before, but was
wrong, because the pattern list was already updated above that code. Now that
patterns are handled, it was actually harmful. For example, in this test:
$ hg log -G glob:**another*
the adjusted pattern list would have been:
['glob:**another*', '.hglf/.', 'glob:.hglf/**another*']
which causes every largefile in the root to be matched.
I'm not sure why 'glob:a*' picks up the rename of a -> b commit in test-log.t,
but a simple 'a' doesn't. But it doesn't appear to be caused by the largefiles
extension.
Right now it's very obtuse to show the history of a particular rev (hg log -r
'reverse(::foo)'). This changes the -f option to make it follow history for the
revs specified by -r.
The current -f -r behavior is to limit the result of -r to only the
commits that are ancestors of the current working copy. Changing this
is a bit of a BC break, but the old behavior is A) rare, B) easy to
emulate (& ::.), and C) currently undefined. The new behavior is
frequently requested enough that I think the change is worth it.
If p1 is null, ':.' is translated as '0:null'. But rangeset can't handle null,
only revision 0 was visible. Because 'null' should not be listed implicitly,
"log --follow" (without -r) should be empty if p1 is null.
Test of "hg grep -f" is added for cmdutil.walkchangerevs().
The fix for linkrev pointing to hidden revision was crashing when the file was
missing from head's manifest. We now properly handle this case.
(yes I feel silly)
If the file revision with a filtered linkrev does not have any
(unfiltered) children, we cannot use it to bound the search for
another introduction. Instead, we have to look at the file revision
used by each head changeset. If one of them uses this file revision, we
know there is another occurrence and we have a starting point. See
inline comments for details.
Adding some kind of permanent reference of all the introductions of a
file revision instead of just the first one would be much better. But
this is more difficult. I hope to take that into account in the next
repository format.
This revset is used by 'hg log FILENAME'. This prevent bugs when used on
a repository with hidden revisions.
Instead of just discarding file revisions whose linkrevs point to filtered
revisions, we put them aside and post-process them trying to find a non-filtered
introduction. See inline documentation for details about how it works.
This only fixes some of the problems. Once again, more will be needed when we can
cannot rely on child revisions of a file to find linkrev-shadowned revisions.
A test is added for 'hg log' catching such cases.
The follow revset (used by `hg log --follow`) now uses the new 'introrev'
method to bootstrap its traversal. This catches issues from linkrev-shadowing of
the changesets introducing the version of a file in source changeset.
A new test has been added to display pathological cases.
Another test is affected because it was meant to test this behavior but actually
failed to do so for half of the output. The output are now similar.
Because of the way filenodes are computed, you can have multiple changesets
"introducing" the same file revision. For example, in the changeset graph
below, changeset 2 and 3 both change a file -to- and -from- the same content.
o 3: content = new
|
| o 2: content = new
|/
o 1: content = old
In such cases, the file revision is create once, when 2 is added, and just reused
for 3. So the file change in '3' (from "old" to "new)" has no linkrev pointing
to it). We'll call this situation "linkrev-shadowing". As the linkrev is used for
optimization purposes when walking a file history, the linkrev-shadowing
results in an unexpected jump to another branch during such a walk.. This leads to
multiple bugs with log, annotate and rename detection.
One element to fix such bugs is to ensure that walking the file history sticks on
the same topology as the changeset's history. For this purpose, we extend the
logic in 'basefilectx.parents' so that it always defines the proper changeset
to associate the parent file revision with. This "proper" changeset has to be an
ancestor of the changeset associated with the child file revision.
This logic is performed in the '_adjustlinkrev' function. This function is
given the starting changeset and all the information regarding the parent file
revision. If the linkrev for the file revision is an ancestor of the starting
changeset, the linkrev is valid and will be used. If it is not, we detected a
topological jump caused by linkrev shadowing, we are going to walk the
ancestors of the starting changeset until we find one setting the file to the
revision we are trying to create.
The performance impact appears acceptable:
- We are walking the changelog once for each filelog traversal (as there should
be no overlap between searches),
- changelog traversal itself is fairly cheap, compared to what is likely going
to be perform on the result on the filelog traversal,
- We only touch the manifest for ancestors touching the file, And such
changesets are likely to be the one introducing the file. (except in
pathological cases involving merge),
- We use manifest diff instead of full manifest unpacking to check manifest
content, so it does not involve applying multiple diffs in most case.
- linkrev shadowing is not the common case.
Tests for fixed issues in log, annotate and rename detection have been
added.
But this changeset does not solve all problems. It fixes -ancestry-
computation, but if the linkrev-shadowed changesets is the starting one, we'll
still get things wrong. We'll have to fix the bootstrapping of such operations
in a later changeset. Also, the usage of `hg log FILE` without --follow still
has issues with linkrev pointing to hidden changesets, because it relies on the
`filelog` revset which implement its own traversal logic that is still to be
fixed.
Thanks goes to:
- Matt Mackall: for nudging me in the right direction
- Julien Cristau and Rémi Cardona: for keep telling me linkrev bug were an
evolution show stopper for 3 years.
- Durham Goode: for finding a new linkrev issue every few weeks
- Mads Kiilerich: for that last rename bug who raise this topic over my
anoyance limit.
The revset created when -f was used with a slow path (for patterns and
directories) did not actually contain any logic to enforce follow. Instead it
was depending on the passed in subset to already be limited (which was limited
to :. but not ::.). This fixes it by adding a '& ::.' to any -f log revset.
hg log -f <file> is still broken, in that it can return results that aren't
actually ancestors of the current file, but fixing that has major perf
implications, so we'll deal with it later.
Hidden changesets are by far the most common error case and is the only one[1]
that can reach the user. We move to a friendlier message with a hint about how
to access the data anyway. We should probably point to a help topic instead but
we do not have such a topic yet.
Example of the new output
abort: hidden revision '4'!
(use --hidden to access hidden revisions)
[1] Actually, filtering from "served" can also reach the user during certain
exchange operations.
This will help user to debug. A more precise message will be issued
for the most common case ("visible" filter) in the next changesets.
example output:
- abort: filtered revision '4'!
+ abort: filtered revision '4' (not in 'visible' subset)!
We capture FilteredxxxError and issue a FilteredRepoLookupError instead with a
sightly different messsge. The message will likely get more improvement in the
future.
error: filtered revision '4'
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'.
It's not uncommon for a user to want to run log with a pattern or directory name
on the history of their current commit. Currently we prevent that, but
I can't think of any reason to continue blocking that.
This commit removes the restriction and allows 'hg log -f <dir/pat>'
Previously, the 'patch' code for hg log --patch --follow would try to resolve
patterns relative to the repository root rather than the current working
directory. Fix that by using match.files instead of pats, as done elsewhere
nearby.
There is a new style called phases style.
Usage::
hg log --style phases
Why do we need this new style - in what way is it different from or similar to
existing styles?
The new style is default + phases information. With the new phases feature the
users exhibited their desire for a new style that could help them.
Why do this need a new style - couldn't it be folded into an existing style?
The default style and the new one are about the same, the difference is the
phases tag. The users find both styles useful, this means that the both styles
must exist.
For the special case, ":null" we remove the implied revision 0 since that
wouldn't make any sense here. A test case is added to make sure only nullrev is
shown.
The dispatch code now enables filtering of "hidden" changesets globally. The
filter is installed before command and extension invocation. The `--hidden`
switch is now global and disables this filtering for any command.
Code in log dedicated to changeset exclusion is removed as this global filtering
has the same effect.
The recently introduced message was:
no unresolved files; you may continue your unfinished operation
This had three problems:
- looks a bit like an error message because it's not saying "we've
just resolved the last file"
- refers to "unfinished operation", which won't be the case with
"update" or "merge"
- introduces semicolons to error messages, which is stylistically
questionable
I've simplified this to:
no more unresolved files
In the future, if we want to prompt someone to continue a particular operation, we should use
a hint style:
no more unresolved files
(use 'hg graft --continue' to finish grafting)
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.
