Here is small introduction of 

Single Developer Usage
======================

This tutorial shows how to use evolution to replace the basics of *mq*.


Amending a changeset
---------------------


First there is some setup phase you will understand later.

there is a local repository and a remote one.

Please close your eyes.

  $ hg init local
  $ cat >> local/.hg/hgrc << EOF
  > [paths]
  > remote = ../remote
  > [ui]
  > user = Albert Beugras
  > [diff]
  > git = 1
  > [alias]
  > amend = amend -d '0 0'
  > tlog = log --template "{node|short}: '{desc}'\n"
  > ttlog = log --template "{node|short}: '{desc}' ({state})\n"
  > tglog = log -G --template "{node|short}: '{desc}' {branches}\n"
  > [extensions]
  > hgext.graphlog=
  > hgext.rebase=
  > EOF
  $ echo "states=$(echo $(dirname $TESTDIR))/hgext/states.py" >> local/.hg/hgrc
  $ echo "obsolete=$(echo $(dirname $TESTDIR))/hgext/obsolete.py" >> local/.hg/hgrc
  $ echo "evolution=$(echo $(dirname $TESTDIR))/hgext/evolution.py" >> local/.hg/hgrc
  $ hg init remote
  $ cat >> remote/.hg/hgrc << EOF
  > [paths]
  > local = ../local
  > [ui]
  > user = René de Robert
  > [diff]
  > git = 1
  > [alias]
  > amend = amend -d '0 0'
  > tlog = log --template "{node|short}: '{desc}' {branches}\n"
  > ttlog = log --template "{node|short}: '{desc}' {state}\n"
  > tglog = log -G --template "{node|short}: '{desc}' {branches}\n"
  > [extensions]
  > hgext.graphlog=
  > hgext.rebase=
  > EOF
  $ echo "states=$(echo $(dirname $TESTDIR))/hgext/states.py" >> remote/.hg/hgrc
  $ echo "obsolete=$(echo $(dirname $TESTDIR))/hgext/obsolete.py" >> remote/.hg/hgrc
  $ echo "evolution=$(echo $(dirname $TESTDIR))/hgext/evolution.py" >> remote/.hg/hgrc
  $ cd local

You can reopen you eyes.

Now we make a first version of our shopping list.

  $ cat  >> shopping << EOF
  > Spam
  > Whizzo butter
  > Albatross
  > Rat (rather a lot)
  > Jugged fish
  > Blancmange
  > Salmon mousse
  > EOF
  $ hg commit -A -m "Monthy Python Shopping list"
  adding shopping

We share this first version with the outside.

  $ hg push remote
  pushing to $TESTTMP/remote
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files

Later I add additional item to my list

  $ cat >> shopping << EOF
  > Egg
  > Suggar
  > Vinegar
  > Oil
  > EOF
  $ hg commit -m "adding condiment"
  $ cat >> shopping << EOF
  > Bananos
  > Pear
  > Apple
  > EOF
  $ hg commit -m "adding fruit"

I now have the following history:

  $ hg tlog
  d85de4546133: 'adding fruit'
  4d5dc8187023: 'adding condiment'
  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list'

But, I just notice, I made a typo in Banana.

  $ hg export tip

hopefully. I can use hg amend to rewrite my faulty changeset!

  [255]

By default all changeset are considered "published" and can't be rewrittent.

 $ hg ttlog

You need to enable a mutable state in your repo the "ready" one

  $ hg states ready --clever
  $ hg ttlog
  d85de4546133: 'adding fruit' (ready)
  4d5dc8187023: 'adding condiment' (ready)

Notice that changeset you already shared with the outside have been keep
published.

The changeset we want to rewrite is now in a mutable state.

  $ hg amend

A new changeset with the right diff replace the wrong one.

  $ hg tlog

Getting Ride of branchy history
----------------------------------

While I was working on my list. someone help made a change remotly.

close your eyes

  $ cd ../remote
  $ hg up -q
  $ sed -i'' -e 's/Spam/Spam Spam Spam/' shopping
  $ hg ci -m 'SPAM'
  $ cd ../local

open your eyes

  $ hg pull remote
  pulling from $TESTTMP/remote
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
  (run 'hg heads .' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge)

I now have a new heads. Note that the remote head is immutable

  $ hg ttlog
  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM' (published)
  0cacb48f4482: 'adding fruit' (ready)
  4d5dc8187023: 'adding condiment' (ready)
  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list' (published)
  $ hg tglog -r "::(9ca060c80d74 + 0cacb48f4482)"
  o  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM'

instead of merging my head with the new one. I'm going to rebase my work

  $ hg diff
  $ hg rebase -d 9ca060c80d74 -s 4d5dc8187023
  merging shopping

My local work is now rebase on the remote one.

  $ hg kill e7a71e229632 ad97bbd3e37d # XXX fix me instead

Removing changeset
------------------------

I add new item to my list

  $ cat >> shopping << EOF
  > car
  > bus
  > plane
  > boat
  > EOF
  $ hg ci -m 'transport'
  $ hg ttlog
  d58c77aa15d7: 'transport' (ready)
  387187ad9bd9: 'adding fruit' (ready)
  dfd3a2d7691e: 'adding condiment' (ready)
  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM' (published)
  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list' (published)

I have a new commit but I realize that don't want it. (transport shop list does
not fit well in my standard shopping list)

  $ hg kill . # . is for working directory parent.
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  working directory now at 387187ad9bd9

The silly changeset is gone.

  $ hg ttlog
  387187ad9bd9: 'adding fruit' (ready)
  dfd3a2d7691e: 'adding condiment' (ready)
  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM' (published)
  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list' (published)

Reordering changeset
------------------------


We create two changeset.


  $ cat >> shopping << EOF
  > Shampoo
  > Toothbrush
  > ... More bathroom stuff to come
  > Towel
  > Soap
  > EOF
  $ hg ci -m 'bathroom stuff' -q # XXX remove the -q

  $ sed -i'' -e 's/Spam/Spam Spam Spam/g' shopping
  $ hg ci -m 'SPAM SPAM'
  $ hg ttlog
  c48f32fb1787: 'SPAM SPAM' (ready)
  8d39a843582d: 'bathroom stuff' (ready)
  387187ad9bd9: 'adding fruit' (ready)
  dfd3a2d7691e: 'adding condiment' (ready)
  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM' (published)
  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list' (published)

.. note: don't amend changeset 7e82d3f3c2cb or 9ca060c80d74 as they are
immutable.

I now want to push to remote all my change but the bathroom one that i'm not totally happy with yet.

To be able to push "SPAM SPAM" I need a version of "SPAM SPAM" not children of "bathroom stuff"

You can use rebase or relocate for that:

  $ hg relocate 'p1(8d39a843582d)' --traceback
  merging shopping
  $ hg tglog -r '::(. + 8d39a843582d)'
  @  02e33960e937: 'SPAM SPAM'
  |
  | o  8d39a843582d: 'bathroom stuff'
  |/
  o  387187ad9bd9: 'adding fruit'
  |
  o  dfd3a2d7691e: 'adding condiment'
  |
  o  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM'
  |
  o  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list'
  

We have a new SPAM SPAM version without the bathroom stuff

  $ grep Spam shopping  # enouth spamm

  $ grep Toothbrush shopping # no Toothbrush

  $ hg export .

for simplicity shake we relocate the bathroom changeset

Splitting change
------------------

To be done (currently achieve with "two commit + debugobsolete")

Collapsing change
------------------

To be done (currently achieve with "revert + debugobsolete" or "rebase --collapse")

collaboration
====================


sharing mutable changeset
----------------------------

To share mutable changeset with other just check that both have the "ready"
state activated. Otherwise you will get the previously observe behavior where
exchanged changeset are automatically published.

  $ cd ../remote
  $ hg states 
  published

The remote repository have only the immutable "published" state activated. Any
changeset echanged from "local" to "remote" will be set in the publised state:

  $ hg -R ../local push -f remote # XXX we should pull but the support is awful
  pushing to $TESTTMP/remote
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
  $ hg ttlog
  a3515e5d0332: 'bathroom stuff' published
  02e33960e937: 'SPAM SPAM' published
  387187ad9bd9: 'adding fruit' published
  dfd3a2d7691e: 'adding condiment' published
  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM' published
  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list' published



We do not want to publish the "bathroom changeset". Let's rollback the last transaction

  $ hg rollback
  repository tip rolled back to revision 4 (undo push)
  working directory now based on revision 1
  $ hg ttlog
  02e33960e937: 'SPAM SPAM' published
  387187ad9bd9: 'adding fruit' published
  dfd3a2d7691e: 'adding condiment' published
  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM' published
  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list' published
  $ rm ../local/.hg/states/published-heads     # XXX USE --exact
  $ hg -R ../local publish 02e33960e937 # XXX FIX THE BUG

To enable the mutable "ready" state in a repository, use the states command.

  $ hg states ready
  $ hg states 
  published
  ready

I can nom exchange mutable changeset between "remote" and "local" repository.

  $ hg pull local # XXX We pull too much stuff
  pulling from $TESTTMP/local
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 10 changesets with 10 changes to 1 files (+5 heads)
  (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge)

  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list' published

Rebasing out-of-sync change after update
----------------------------------------------

Remotely someone add a new changeset on top of our mutable "bathroom" on.

  $ hg up a3515e5d0332 -q
  $ cat >> shopping << EOF
  > Giraffe
  > Rhino
  > Lion
  > Bear
  > EOF
  $ hg ci -m 'animals' -q # XXX remove the -q

While this time locally, we rebase the updated the "bathroom changeset"

  $ cd ../local
  $ hg up a3515e5d0332 -q
  $ sed -i'' -e 's/... More bathroom stuff to come/Bath Robe/' shopping
  $ hg amend
  $ hg tlog
  962d3a7d27ad: 'bathroom stuff'
  02e33960e937: 'SPAM SPAM'
  387187ad9bd9: 'adding fruit'
  dfd3a2d7691e: 'adding condiment'
  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM'
  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list'


When we pull from remote again we get an unstable state!

  $ hg pull remote
  pulling from $TESTTMP/remote
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
  (run 'hg heads .' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge)
  $ hg tlog

  dfd3a2d7691e: 'adding condiment'
  9ca060c80d74: 'SPAM'
  7e82d3f3c2cb: 'Monthy Python Shopping list'

The new changeset "animal" is based one an old changeset of "bathroom". You can
see both version showing up the log.

  $ hg tglog -r '::(962d3a7d27ad + 0b061760b677)'

In hgviewn there is a nice doted relation highlighting 962d3a7d27ad  is a new
version of a3515e5d0332. this is not yet ported to graphlog.

To resolve this unstable state, you need to relocate 0b061760b677 onto
962d3a7d27ad the "hg evolve" will make the thinking for you and suggest it to
you.

  $ hg evolve
  hg relocate --rev 0b061760b677 962d3a7d27ad

Let's do it

  $ hg relocate --rev 0b061760b677 962d3a7d27ad

The old vesion of bathroom is hidden again now.

We can push this evolution to remote

  $ hg push -f remote # XXX should not require -f
  pushing to $TESTTMP/remote
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 2 changesets with 2 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)

  $ hg kill 39a85a192689 # issue warning here
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  working directory now at 962d3a7d27ad

The animals changeset is still displayed because the "SPAM SPAM SPAM" changeset
is neither dead or obsolete.  My repository is in an unstable state again.

Handling Conflicting amend
----------------------------------------------

We can detect that multiple diverging//conflicting amend have been made. There
will be a "evol-merge" command to merge conflicting amend

collaboration
====================

Turning changeset immutable
----------------------------------------------

* push on published//only repo

* tag

* explicite published command

Handling Invalid amend on published changeset
----------------------------------------------

you can't amend published changeset. changeset that do this will have an "invalid amend" obsolete-status
