I was able to build a working musl binary with this change, by running
this command:
```
cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
```
Thanks to @arxanas for the tip.
There's been *a lot* of changes since 0.2.0 almost a year ago. With
the attention the project has gotten recently, I feel like I should
cut a new release and start keeping a changelog. So let's start by
bumping the version to 0.3.0.
With this commit, you can run `jj concepts branches` to get help about
the "branches" concept. We don't have much help for other commands and
their arguments yet, but I'm starting with concept guides so we can
point to them as we add help for commands and their arguments.
I initially tried to make the command to get help be `jj help
--concept branches`. That would require replacing clap's
implementation of the help command with our own. clap-rs/clap#1350
prevented me from doing that. But I'm pretty happy with having it
under `jj concepts` anyway. It's probably more discoverable that way.
I tried to mimic clap's styling with yellow headings.
If you ran two concurrent `jj describe` (for example) before this
patch, they'd both try to open an editor on the same file. This patch
fixes that by randomizing the filename. It also deletes the file at
the end so the `.jj/` directory is not cluttered by these files.
This is to address issue #8. I haven't added the optimization to avoid
walking all the files in `target/` yet. Even so, this patch still
speeds up `jj st` in this repo, with ~13k files in `target/`, from
~320 ms to ~100 ms (-5.1dB). The time actually checking if paths match
gitignores seems to go down from 116 ms to 6 ms. I think that's mostly
because libgit2 has to look for `.gitignore` files in every parent
directory every time we ask it about a file, while the rewritten code
looks for a `.gitignore` file only when visiting a new directory.
The previous patch switched over the content-merge code to use the new
histogram diff code. This patch switches over the content-diff code to
use the histogram diff code. As before, the immediate goal is to speed
it up. `jj diff -r c28ded83fc` in the git.git repo is a good example
of a diff that's extremely slow to calculate with our current
LCS-based diff. With this patch, that drops from 35 s to 0.12 s.
The diff was slightly better before. I think that's mostly because of
our different definition of a "word" in the data. We can improve that
later. The speedup we get now is easily worth the slightly worse diff.
IIUC from rust-lang/rust#81654, `lexical-core` 0.7.4 was broken with
some versions of `rustc` from early February. CI is still failing, so
I guess that is using a `rustc` from that time. However, the logs say
that it installed "rustc 1.53.0-nightly (74874a690 2021-03-30)", so
I'm confused.
I only noticed that there was a newer version when running `cargo
install --path .`, which resulted in warnings about deprecated
functions. There's no other reason I'm aware of to upgrade now.
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.
This adds an interactive mode for `jj restore`. It works by first
creating two temporary directories with the contents of the subset of
files that differ between the two trees, and then letting the user
edit the directory representing the right/after side. This has some
advantages compared to the interactive modes in Git and Mercurial:
* It lets the user edit the final state as opposed to the diff itself
(depending on the diff tool, of course). I think most users find it
easier to edit the file contents than to edit the patch
format.
* It delegates the hard work to a tool that is already written (this
is a big advantage for an immature tool like Jujube, but it is not
an advantage from the user's point of view).
Almost all of the work in this commit went into adding a function that
takes two trees, lets the user edit the diff, and returns a new tree
id. I plan to reuse that function for other interactive commands. One
planned command is `jj edit`, which will let the user edit the changes
in a commit. `jj edit -r abc123` will be mostly about providing a more
intuitive name for `jj restore --source abc123^ --destination abc123`,
plus it will be different for merge commits (it will edit only the
changes in the merge commit). I also plan to add `jj split` by letting
the user edit the full diff, leaving only the parts that should go
into the first commit. Perhaps there will also be commands for moving
part of a commit out of or into a parent commit.
I have never run into this being a problem in practice, but this
change is a stepping stone for two things:
1. Using exponential backoff for other locks (in particular the
working copy).
2. Making the Git store write a ref for conflict objects, so they
don't get GC'd (I want to do that before even I start dogfooding).
I had tried to generate the protobuf code at build time many months
ago, but decided against it because it slowed down the build too
much. I didn't realize there was the
"cargo:rerun-if-changed=<filename>" feature that time. Given that that
exists, it seems like an obvious win to generate the source code at
build time.
I put the generated sources in `$OUT_DIR` (where [1] says they should
be), then include them in the `protos` module by using the `include!`
macro. The biggest problem with that is that I couldn't get IntelliJ
to understand it, even after enabling the experimental features
described in [2].
