============================= Mutable History For Mercurial ============================= Evolve Extension ================= This package supplies the ``evolve`` extension for Mercurial, **The full implementation of the changeset evolution concept is still in progress.** Please subscribe to the `evolve-testers mailing list <https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/evolve-testers>`_ to stay up to date with changes. This extension: * enables the “changeset evolution” feature of Mercurial core, * provides a set of commands to mutate your history, * issues several warning messages when troubles from some mutable appears in your repository, * provides an ``hg evolve`` command to deal with such "troubles", * improves performance of obsolescence marker exchanges and discovery during push and pull. Documentation ------------- We recommend reading the documentation first. An online version is available here: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/doc/evolution/ How to Install ============== Using Pip --------- You can install the latest evolution version usin pip:: $ pip install --user hg-evolve Then just enable it in you hgrc:: $ hg config --edit # adds the two line below: [extensions] evolve = From Source ----------- To install a local version from source:: $ hg clone https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/evolve/ $ cd evolve $ pip install --user . Then just enable it in you hgrc:: $ hg config --edit # adds the two line below: [extensions] evolve = Documentation lives in ``doc/``. Server Only Setup ================= It is possible to enable a smaller subset of the extensions aimed at server serving repository. It skips the additions of the new commands and local UI messages that might add performance overheads. To use the server only extension, install the package and use:: $ hg config --edit # adds the two line below: [extensions] evolve.serveronly = How to Contribute ================= Bugs are to be reported on the mercurial's bug tracker (component: `evolution`_): .. _evolution: https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/buglist.cgi?component=evolution&query_format=advanced&resolution=--- Please use the patchbomb extension to send email to `mercurial devel <https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel>`_. Please make sure to use the evolve-ext flag when doing so. You can use a command like this:: $ hg email --to mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org --flag evolve-ext --rev '<your patches>' For guidelines on the patch description, see the `official Mercurial guideline`_. .. _`official Mercurial guideline`: https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Patch_descriptions Please don't forget to update and run the tests when you fix a bug or add a feature. To run the tests, you need a working copy of Mercurial, say in $HGSRC:: $ cd tests $ python $HGSRC/tests/run-tests.py Branch policy ------------- The evolve test are highly impacted by changes in core. To deal with this, we use named branches. There are two main branches: "stable" and "default". Tests on these branch are supposed to pass with the corresponding "default" and "stable" branch from core Mercurial. The documentation is built from the tip of stable. In addition, we have compatibility branches to check tests on older version of Mercurial. They are the "mercurial-x.y" branches. They are used to apply expected test change only, no code change should happen there. Changelog ========= 6.3.2 - in progress ------------------- - effect flag: fix a small bug related to hidden changeset, - obshashrange: install a '.max-revs' option see extension help for details 6.3.1 -- 2017-06-01 ------------------- - also backport the "revelant-markers" fix when using "evolve.serveronly" 6.3.0 -- 2017-05-31 ------------------- - olog: add an 'obslog' alias - olog: add an '--all' option to show the whole obsolescence history tree. - evolution: add an experiment to track the effect of rewrites. (See hg help - evolve for details) - exchange: fix the "relevant-markers" algorithm to include inline prune. This will impact discovery of obsmarkers between server and client if one still uses the old algorithm. Please upgrade both clients and servers as soon as possible. (See changeset 176d1a0ce385 in core Mercurial for details) - obsdiscovery: add a config flag to disable all obsmarkers discovery (See hg help - evolve for details) - template: add a 'precursors' template that display the closests precursors of changesets - template: add a 'successors' template that display the closests successors of changesets - template: add a 'obsfate' template that display how a changeset has evolved - new discovery experiment: add options to restrict memory consumption on large repository (see "hg help -e evolve" for details). - evolve: fix --rev handling in --list mode 6.2.1 -- 2017-05-23 ------------------- - prune: fix a crash related to color handling, - next: fix a crash related to color handling, - discovery: document the 'obshashrange' experiment, - cache: reduce the warming load in case of reset, - cache: add a 'experimental.obshashcache.warm-cache' option to allow disabling post transaction cache warming. 6.2.0 -- 2017-05-18 ------------------- - olog: a new command to inspect the obs-history of a changeset (hg-4.0 + only), - topic: have thg display topic name if possible, - blackbox: log more information about discovery and cache computation, - obscache: more efficient update in the (rare) case of a transaction adding markers without changesets, - obscache: fix more cache invalidation propagation, - obscache: also enable the new cache (from 6.1.0) for 'evolve.server-only', - obshashrange-cache: update incrementally in the (common) case of a transaction not affecting existing range, - obshashrange-cache: keep the cache warm after each transaction, - topic: now requires Mercurial 4.0 or above, - stack: now display if current revision is in bad state (issue5533), - stack: fix json output to be valid json. 6.1.0 -- 2017-05-03 ------------------- - improve message about obsolete working copy parent, - improve message issued when accessing hidden nodes (4.2 only), - introduce a new caches to reduce the impact of evolution on read-only commands, - add a 'experimental.auto-publish' config. See `hg help -e evolve` for details. - fix the propagation of some some cache invalidation, 6.0.1 -- 2017-04-20 ------------------- - template: adapt to change in 4.2, - fix 'debugrecordpruneparents' (outdated API usage) - checkheads: give priority to updated 4.2 code, - serveronly: fix repository initialization. 6.0.0 -- 2017-03-31 ------------------- - push: improved detection of obsoleted remote branch (issue4354), - drop compatibility for Mercurial < 3.8, - removed old (unpackaged) pushexperiment extension, - move all extensions in the official 'hgext3rd' namespace package, - add the "topic" experimental extensions. See the README.topic file for details - officially ship 'evolve.serveronly' extensions. That extensions contains only the part related to exchange and is intended to be used by server. Using the extension will enable evolution, use 'experimental.evolution=!' to disable obsmarkers echange. The old '__temporary__.advertiseobsolete' option is no longer supported. - a new prototype of obsmarker discovery is available. The prototype is still at early stage and not recommended for production. Examples of current limitations: - write access to the repo is highly recommanded for all operation, - large memory footprint, - initial caching is slow, - unusable on large repo (because of various issue pointed earlier), - likely to constains various bugs. It can be tested by setting `experimental.obshashrange=1` on both client and server. It is recommanded to get in touch with the evolve maintainer if you decide to test it. - the 'debugrecordpruneparents' have been moved into the 'evolve.legacy' separate extension. enable that extentions if you need to convert/update markers in an old repository. 5.6.1 -- 2017-02-28 ------------------- - fix a crash that sometime happened when evolving merges. 5.6.0 -- 2017-02-01 ------------------- - compatibility with Mercurial 4.1. - improvement of prune error message. - fold: require --from flag for folding revisions to working copy - fix crash when trying to fold an empty revision set (issue5453) - uncommit: preserve copy information of remaining files (issue5403) 5.5.0 -- 2016-10-30 ------------------- - The {obsolete} template now yield "obsolete" or "". - compatibility with Mercurial 4.0 - Fix erroneous manifest computation when solving 'bumped' changeset. - split: avoid crash on empty commit (issue5191), - next: improve locking to avoid issue with working copy parent (issue5244) - prev: improve locking to avoid issue with working copy parent (issue5244) - evolve: fix abort suggestion to include '.' in 'hg update -C .' 5.4.1 -- 2016-08-01 ------------------- - compat with Mercurial 3.9 5.4.0 -- 2016-05-06 ------------------- - Some collaboration with the topic experimental extensions, - hg evolve --all with consider all troubles in your current topic, - preserve 'topic' during evolve, - 'next' and 'prev' restrict themself to the current topic by default, - remove the dangerous 'kill' alias for 'prune' (because 'hg kill -1' without the leading 'hg' will give you an hardtime) - during 'hg evolve' skip unsupported merge instead of aborting - various documentation fix and update - hg summary now suggest 'hg evolve --continue when appropriate` - compatibility with Mercurial 3.8 'hgext' namespace package. - small improvement to the `hg split` instruction - add a 'metaedit' command to rewrite changeset meta data. 5.3.0 -- 2016-02-11 ------------------- - split: add a new command to split changesets, - tests: drop our copy of 'run-tests.py' use core one instead, - bookmark: do all bookmark movement within a transaction. - evolve: compatibility with Mercurial 3.7 - evolve: support merge with a single obsolete parent (hg-3.7+ only) - evolve: prevent added file to be marked as unknown if evolve fails (issue4966) - evolve: stop relying on graftstate file for save evolve state (for `hg evolve --continue`) - evolve: fix divergence resolution when it result in an empty commit (issue4950) (hg-3.5+ only) - no longer lock the repository for `hg parents` (issue4895) - updated help for the `evolve` command 5.2.1 -- 2015-11-02 ------------------- - add compatibility with Mercurial 3.6 - prune: fixed possible issue with lock and bookmark - next/prev: fixed possible issue with lock and bookmark - add some progress data during changesets discovery - take advantage of dirstate/transaction collaboration 5.2.0 -- 2015-06-25 ------------------- - evolve: gain a --rev option to control what revisions to evolve (issue4391) - evolve: revision are processed in the order they stack on destination - evolve: properly skip unstable revision with non-evolved unstable parent - evolve: gain --unstable --divergent --bumped flag to select the trouble - evolve: issue more useful error message and hint when evolve has nothing to do as invocated. - evolve: bare `hg evolve` commands now abort when multiple changesets could be a target. - evolve: `hg evolve --all` only evolve changeset that will end up as descendant of the current working copy.
