tutorial: use commit --amend when possible

commit --amend is the core way to do that, we better get used to it.

Initial setup
-------------

This Mercurial configuration example is used for testing.
.. Various setup

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
  > [ui]
  > logtemplate ="{node|short} ({phase}): {desc}\n"
  > [diff]
  > git = 1
  > [alias]
  > # "-d '0 0'" means that the new commit will be at January 1st 1970.
  > # This is used for stable hash during test
  > amend = amend -d '0 0'
  > EOF

  $ hg init local
  $ cat >> local/.hg/hgrc << EOF
  > [paths]
  > remote = ../remote
  > other = ../other
  > [ui]
  > user = Babar the King
  > EOF

  $ hg init remote
  $ cat >> remote/.hg/hgrc << EOF
  > [paths]
  > local = ../local
  > [ui]
  > user = Celestine the Queen
  > EOF

  $ hg init other
  $ cat >> other/.hg/hgrc << EOF
  > [ui]
  > user = Princess Flore
  > EOF


This tutorial use the following configuration for Mercurial:

A compact log template with phase data:

  $ hg showconfig ui
  ui.slash=True
  ui.logtemplate="{node|short} ({phase}): {desc}\n"

Improved git format diff:

  $ hg showconfig diff
  diff.git=1

And of course, we enable the experimental extensions for mutable history:

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > rebase =
  > evolve = $TESTDIR/../hgext/evolve.py
  > EOF

Single Developer Usage

This tutorial shows how to use evolution to rewrite history locally.


Fixing mistake with `hg amend`
--------------------------------

We are versionning a shopping list

  $ cd local
  $ 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

Its first version is shared 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"

This history is very linear

The faulty changeset is in the "draft" phase because he was not exchanged with
the outside. The first one have been exchanged and is an immutable public

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

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

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

I'll get this remote changeset when pulling

  $ 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 this remote head is immutable

  $ hg log -G
  o  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  |
  | @  0cacb48f4482 (draft): adding fruit
  | |
  | o  4d5dc8187023 (draft): adding condiment
  |/
  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  

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
  merging shopping


My local work is now rebased on the remote one.

  $ hg log -G

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

I add new item to my list

  $ cat >> shopping << EOF
  > car
  > bus
  > plane
  > boat
  > EOF
  $ hg ci -m 'transport'
  $ hg log -G
  @  d58c77aa15d7 (draft): transport

  |
  o  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  |
  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  

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 prune . # . 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 log -G
  @  387187ad9bd9 (draft): adding fruit
  |
  o  dfd3a2d7691e (draft): adding condiment
  |
  o  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  |
  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  

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


We create two changesets.


  $ 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 log -G
  @  c48f32fb1787 (draft): SPAM SPAM

  |
  o  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  |
  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  

.. note: We can'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 -r' or 'graft -O' for that:

  $ hg up 'p1(8d39a843582d)' # going on "bathroom stuff" parent
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg graft -O c48f32fb1787 # moving "SPAM SPAM" to the working directory parent
  grafting revision 10
  merging shopping

  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  

We have a new SPAM SPAM version without the bathroom stuff

  $ grep Spam shopping  # enough spam

To make sure I do not push unready changeset by mistake I set the "bathroom
stuff" changeset in the secret phase.

  $ hg phase --force --secret 8d39a843582d

we can now push our change:

  $ hg push remote
  pushing to $TESTTMP/remote
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 3 changesets with 3 changes to 1 files

for simplicity shake we get the bathroom change in line again

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

histedit or uncommit

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

This can be done with hg fold but the tutorial part is not written yet.





-----------------------
Collaboration
-----------------------


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

To share mutable changeset with other just check that the repo you interact
with is "not publishing". Otherwise you will get the previously observe
behavior where exchanged changeset are automatically published.

  $ cd ../remote
  $ hg -R ../local/ showconfig phases

the localrepo does not have any specific configuration for `phases.publish`. It
is ``true`` by default.

  $ hg pull local
  pulling from $TESTTMP/local
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
  (run 'hg update' to get a working copy)
  $ hg log -G
  o  8a79ae8b029e (public): bathroom stuff
  |
  o  a2fccc2e7b08 (public): SPAM SPAM
  |
  o  387187ad9bd9 (public): adding fruit
  |
  o  dfd3a2d7691e (public): adding condiment
  |
  @  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  |
  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  



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 pull)
  $ hg log -G
  o  a2fccc2e7b08 (public): SPAM SPAM
  |
  o  387187ad9bd9 (public): adding fruit
  |
  o  dfd3a2d7691e (public): adding condiment
  |
  @  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  |
  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  

Let's make the local repo "non publishing"

  $ echo '[phases]' >> ../local/.hg/hgrc
  $ echo 'publish=false' >> ../local/.hg/hgrc
  $ echo '[phases]' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo 'publish=false' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ hg showconfig phases
  phases.publish=false
  $ hg -R ../local/ showconfig phases
  phases.publish=false


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

  $ hg pull local
  pulling from $TESTTMP/local
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
  (run 'hg update' to get a working copy)
  $ hg log -G
  o  8a79ae8b029e (draft): bathroom stuff
  |
  o  a2fccc2e7b08 (public): SPAM SPAM
  |
  o  387187ad9bd9 (public): adding fruit
  |
  o  dfd3a2d7691e (public): adding condiment
  |
  @  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  |
  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  

Rebasing unstable change after pull
----------------------------------------------

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

  $ hg up 8a79ae8b029e -q
  $ cat >> shopping << EOF
  > Giraffe
  > Rhino
  > Lion
  > Bear
  > EOF
  $ hg ci -m 'animals'

But at the same time, locally, this same "bathroom changeset" was updated.

  $ cd ../local
  $ hg up 8a79ae8b029e -q
  $ sed -i'' -e 's/... More bathroom stuff to come/Bath Robe/' shopping
  $ hg commit --amend
  $ hg log -G
  @  30aa78f63aa1 (draft): bathroom stuff
  |
  o  a2fccc2e7b08 (public): SPAM SPAM
  |
  o  387187ad9bd9 (public): adding fruit
  |
  o  dfd3a2d7691e (public): adding condiment
  |
  o  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  |
  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): 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)
  1 new unstable changesets


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

  $ hg log -G
  o  9ac5d0e790a2 (draft): animals
  |
  | @  30aa78f63aa1 (draft): bathroom stuff
  | |

  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  

The older version 8a79ae8b029e never ceased to exist in the local repo. It was
jsut hidden and excluded from pull and push.

.. note:: In hgview there is a nice doted relation highlighting 30aa78f63aa1 as a new version of 8a79ae8b029e. this is not yet ported to graphlog.

Their is **unstable** changeset in this history now. Mercurial will refuse to
share it with the outside:

  $ hg push other
  pushing to $TESTTMP/other
  searching for changes
  abort: push includes unstable changeset: 9ac5d0e790a2!
  (use 'hg evolve' to get a stable history or --force to ignore warnings)
  [255]
 



To resolve this unstable state, you need to rebase 9ac5d0e790a2 onto
30aa78f63aa1 the "hg evolve" command will make this for you.

It has a --dry-run option to only suggest the next move.

  $ hg evolve --dry-run
  move:[15] animals
  atop:[14] bathroom stuff
  hg rebase -r 9ac5d0e790a2 -d 30aa78f63aa1

Let's do it

  $ hg rebase -r 9ac5d0e790a2 -d 30aa78f63aa1
  merging shopping

The old version of bathroom is hidden again.

We can push this evolution to remote

  $ hg push remote
  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)

remote get a warning that current working directory is based on an obsolete changeset

  $ cd ../remote
  $ hg pull local # we up again to trigger the warning. it was displayed during the push
  pulling from $TESTTMP/local
  searching for changes
  no changes found
  Working directory parent is obsolete

  $ hg up 01fddc75bfef
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Relocating unstable change after prune
----------------------------------------------

The remote guy keep working

  $ sed -i'' -e 's/Spam/Spam Spam Spam Spam/g' shopping
  $ hg commit -m "SPAM SPAM SPAM"

I'm pulling its work locally.

  $ cd ../local
  $ 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

  o  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list
  

In the mean time I noticed you can't buy animals in a super market and I prune the animal changeset:

  $ hg prune 01fddc75bfef
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  working directory now at 30aa78f63aa1
  1 new unstable changesets


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.
hg evolve is able to solve several of them

This section need to be written
