A while ago, I replaced a call to git2-rs's `Remote::fetch()` by calls
to `Remote::download()` and `Remote::update_tips()`. The function is
documented to be a convenience for those function, but it turns out
that the pruning of deleted remote refs is a separate call
(`Remote::prune()`), so we need to call that too.
The default branch relies on checking the value of `HEAD`. The `empty_git_commit` function updates the ref `refs/heads/main`, but since `HEAD` was never updated to point to that ref, the default branch can't be determined. The fix is to explicitly set `HEAD`.
Personally, this test failed reliably for me on macOS. I don't know why this behavior would be non-deterministic on other platforms.
It seems it wasn't Windows that behaved differently when it comes
getting the remote's default branch; the test failed on Ubuntu
too.
The documentation for `Remote::default_branch()` says that it can be
called even after the connection has been closed, but let's see if
calling it while the connection is open helps anyway. To do that, we
have to replicate what `Remote::fetch()` does.
With this change, we no longer fail if the user moves a branch
sideways or backwards and then push.
The push should ideally only succeed if the remote branch is where we
thought it was (like `git push --force-with-lease`), but that requires
rust-lang/git2-rs#733 to be fixed first.
Now that we have our own representation of branches and tags, let's
update them when we import git refs. The View object's git refs are
now just a record of what the refs are in the underlying git ref last
time we imported them (we don't -- and won't -- provide a way for the
user to update our record of the git refs). We can therefore do a nice
3-way ref-merge using the `refs` module we added recently. That means
that we'll detect conflicts caused by changes made concurrently in the
underlying git repo and in jj's view.
I'm about to add some support for branches and tags (for issue #21)
and it seems that we didn't have explicit testing of merging of
views. There was `test_import_refs_merge()` in `test_git.rs` but
that's specifically for git refs. It seems that it's made obsolete by
the tests added by this commit, so I'm removing it.
I had previously created commit messages based only on the ref name,
which meant that `commit4` and `commit5` ended up being the same
commit. This fixes that problem.
There were some tests that discarded a transaction only because it
used to be easier to do that than to commit and reload the repo. We
get the new repo back when we commit the transaction these days, so
now it's often easier to commit the transaction instead.
When there are two concurrent operations, we would resolve conflicting
updates of git refs quite arbitrarily before this change. This change
introduces a new `refs` module with a function for doing a 3-way merge
of ref targets. For example, if both sides moved a ref forward but by
different amounts, we pick the descendant-most target. If we can't
resolve it, we leave it as a conflict. That's fine to do for git refs
because they can be resolved by simply running `jj git refresh` to
import refs again (the underlying git repo is the source of truth).
As with the previous change, I'm doing this now because mostly because
it is a good stepping stone towards branch support (issue #21). We'll
soon use the same 3-way merging for updating the local branch
definition (once we add that) when a branch changes in the git repo or
on a remote.
This adds support for having conflicting git refs in the view, but we
never create conflicts yet. The `git_refs()` revset includes all "add"
sides of any conflicts. Similarly `origin/main` (for example) resolves
to all "adds" if it's conflicted (meaning that `jj co origin/main` and
many other commands will error out if `origin/main` is
conflicted). The `git_refs` template renders the reference for all
"adds" and adds a "?" as suffix for conflicted refs.
The reason I'm adding this now is not because it's high priority on
its own (it's likely extremely uncommon to run two concurrent `jj git
refresh` and *also* update refs in the underlying git repo at the same
time) but because it's a building block for the branch support I've
planned (issue #21).
I thought I had looked for this case and cleaned up all the places
when I made `Transaction::commit()` return a new `ReadonlyRepo`. I
must have forgotten to do that, because there we tons of places to
clean up left.
I want to keep the index updated within the transaction. I tried doing
that by adding a `trait Index`, implemented by `ReadonlyIndex` and
`MutableIndex`. However, `ReadonlyRepo::index` is of type
`Mutex<Option<Arc<IndexFile>>>` (because it is lazily initialized),
and we cannot get a `&dyn Index` that lives long enough to be returned
from a `Repo::index()` from that. It seems the best solution is to
instead create an `Index` enum (instead of a trait), with one readonly
and one mutable variant. This commit starts the migration to that
design by replacing the `Repo` trait by an enum. I never intended for
there there to be more implementations of `Repo` than `ReadonlyRepo`
and `MutableRepo` anyway.
We want to be able to be able to do fast `.contains()` checks on the
result, so `Iterator` was a bad type. We probably should hide the
exact type (currently `HashSet` for both readonly and mutable views),
but we can do that later. I actually thought I'd want to use
`.contains()` for indiciting public-phase commits in the log output,
but of course want to also indicate ancestors as public. This still
seem like a step (mostly) in the right direction.
Git refs are important at least for understanding where the remote
branches are. This commit adds support for tracking them in the view
and makes `git::import_refs()` update them.
When merging views (either because of concurrent operations or when
undoing an earlier operation), there can be conflicts between git ref
changes. I ignored that for now and let the later operation win. That
will probably be good enough for a while. It's not hard to detect the
conflicts, but I haven't yet decided how to handle them. I'm leaning
towards representing the conflicting refs in the view just like how we
represent conflicting files in the tree.
This commits makes it so that running commands outside a repo results
in an error message instead of a panic.
We still don't look for a `.jj/` directory in ancestors of the current
directory.
I'm preparing to publish an early version before someone takes the
name(s) on crates.io. "jj" has been taken by a seemingly useless
project, but "jujube" and "jujube-lib" are still available, so let's
use those.
When you run e.g. `jj st` outside of a repo, it just
crashes. That'll probably give new users a bad impression, so I
was planning to improve error handling a bit. A good place to
start is by fixing the code I recently added (which obviously
should have been using `thiserror` from the beginning). That's
what this commit does.
Also, this is the first commit in this repo created with
Jujube! I've just started dogfooding it myself.
This adds `jj git fetch` for fetching from a git remote. There remote
has to be added in the underlying git repo if it doesn't already
exist. I think command will still be useful on typical small projects
with just a single remote on GitHub. With this and the `jj git push` I
added recently, I think I have enough for my most of my own
interaction with GitHub.
The fact that no commits from the underlying Git repo were imported
when creating a new Jujube repo from it was quite surprising. This
commit finally fixes that.
When using Git as a store, new commits created in the underlying Git
repo are only made visible by making changes on top of them (e.g by
checking them out, so a working copy commit is created on top). That's
especially confusing when creating a new repo backed by an existing
Git repo, because the commits from that repo don't show up.
This commit prepares for fixing that by adding a function for updating
heads based on git refs. Since we don't yet track git refs (or
anything similar), the function just makes sure the refs are visible
in the Jujube repo by making them (anonymous) heads.
It's annoying to have to have the Git repo and Jujube repo in separate
directories. This commit adds `jj init --git`, which creates a new
Jujube repo with an empty, bare git repo in `.jj/git/`. Hopefully the
`jj git` subcommands will eventually provide enough functionality for
working with the Git repo that the user won't have to use Git commands
directly. If they still do, they can run them from inside `.jj/git/`,
or create a new worktree based on that bare repo.
The implementation is quite straight-forward. One thing to note is
that I made `.jj/store` support relative paths to the Git repo. That's
mostly so the Jujube repo can be moved around freely.
