I initially made the working copy materialize conflicts in its `check_out()` method. Then I changed it later (exactly a year ago, on Halloween of 2020, actually) so that the working copy expected conflicts to already have been materalized, which happens in `MutableRepo::check_out`(). I think my reasoning then was that the file system cannot represent a conflict. While it's true that the file system itself doesn't have information to know whether a file represents a conflict, we can record that ourselves. We already record whether a file is executable or not and then preserve that if we're on a file system that isn't able to record it. It's not that different to do the same for conflicts if we're on a file system that doesn't understand conflicts (i.e. all file systems). The plan is to have the working copy remember whether a file represents a conflict. When we check if it has changed, we parse the file, including conflict markers, and recreate the conflict from it. We should be able to do that losslessly (and we should adjust formats to make it possible if we find cases where it's not). Having the working copy preserve conflict states has several advantages: * Because conflicts are not materialized in the working copy, you can rebase the conflicted commit and the working copy without causing more conflicts (that's currently a UX bug I run into every now and then). * If you don't change anything in the working copy, it will be unchanged compared to its parent, which means we'll automatically abandon it if you update away from it. * The user can choose to resolve only some of the conflicts in a file and squash those in, and it'll work they way you'd hope. * It should make it easier to implement support for external merge tools (#18) without having them treat the working copy differently. This patch prepares for that work by adding support for parsing materialized conflicts. |
