histedit: preserve initial author on fold (
issue4296)
When the authorship of the changeset folded in does not match that of
the base changeset, we currently use the configured ui.username
instead. This is especially surprising when the user is not the author
of either of the changesets. In such cases, the resulting authorship
(the user's) is clearly incorrect. Even when the user is folding in a
patch they authored themselves, it's not clear whether they should
take over the authorship. Let's instead keep it simple and always
preserve the base changeset's authorship. This is also how
"git rebase -i" handles folding/squashing.
# reproduce issue2264, issue2516
create test repo
$ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
> [extensions]
> transplant =
> EOF
$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ template="{rev} {desc|firstline} [{branch}]\n"
# we need to start out with two changesets on the default branch
# in order to avoid the cute little optimization where transplant
# pulls rather than transplants
add initial changesets
$ echo feature1 > file1
$ hg ci -Am"feature 1"
adding file1
$ echo feature2 >> file2
$ hg ci -Am"feature 2"
adding file2
# The changes to 'bugfix' are enough to show the bug: in fact, with only
# those changes, it's a very noisy crash ("RuntimeError: nothing
# committed after transplant"). But if we modify a second file in the
# transplanted changesets, the bug is much more subtle: transplant
# silently drops the second change to 'bugfix' on the floor, and we only
# see it when we run 'hg status' after transplanting. Subtle data loss
# bugs are worse than crashes, so reproduce the subtle case here.
