pullreport: issue a message about "extinct" pulled changesets
Changeset pulled from a remote repository while already obsolete locally can
end up hidden after the pull. Hiding obsolete changesets is a good behavior
but silently "skipping" some of the pulled content can get confusing.
We now detect this situation and emit a message about it. The message is
simple and the wording could be improved, however, we focus on the detection
here. Evolution is still an experimental feature, so the output is open to
changes.
In particular, we could point out at the latest successors of the obsolete
changesets, however, it can get tricky is there are many of them. So we delay
these improvements to another adventure.
Another easy improvement would be to merge this message with the previous line
about the new nodes and their phases.
This is a good example of cases where we can only transmit a limited amount of
data to users by default. We need some sort of "transaction journal" we could
point the user to.

# pvec.py - probabilistic vector clocks for Mercurial # # Copyright 2012 Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> # # This software may be used and distributed according to the terms of the # GNU General Public License version 2 or any later version. ''' A "pvec" is a changeset property based on the theory of vector clocks that can be compared to discover relatedness without consulting a graph. This can be useful for tasks like determining how a disconnected patch relates to a repository. Currently a pvec consist of 448 bits, of which 24 are 'depth' and the remainder are a bit vector. It is represented as a 70-character base85 string. Construction: - a root changeset has a depth of 0 and a bit vector based on its hash - a normal commit has a changeset where depth is increased by one and one bit vector bit is flipped based on its hash - a merge changeset pvec is constructed by copying changes from one pvec into the other to balance its depth Properties: - for linear changes, difference in depth is always <= hamming distance - otherwise, changes are probably divergent - when hamming distance is < 200, we can reliably detect when pvecs are near Issues: - hamming distance ceases to work over distances of ~ 200 - detecting divergence is less accurate when the common ancestor is very close to either revision or total distance is high - this could probably be improved by modeling the relation between delta and hdist Uses: - a patch pvec can be used to locate the nearest available common ancestor for resolving conflicts - ordering of patches can be established without a DAG - two head pvecs can be compared to determine whether push/pull/merge is needed and approximately how many changesets are involved - can be used to find a heuristic divergence measure between changesets on different branches ''' from __future__ import absolute_import from .node import nullrev from . import ( pycompat, util, ) _size = 448 # 70 chars b85-encoded _bytes = _size / 8 _depthbits = 24 _depthbytes = _depthbits / 8 _vecbytes = _bytes - _depthbytes _vecbits = _vecbytes * 8 _radius = (_vecbits - 30) / 2 # high probability vectors are related def _bin(bs): '''convert a bytestring to a long''' v = 0 for b in bs: v = v * 256 + ord(b) return v def _str(v, l): bs = "" for p in pycompat.xrange(l): bs = chr(v & 255) + bs v >>= 8 return bs def _split(b): '''depth and bitvec''' return _bin(b[:_depthbytes]), _bin(b[_depthbytes:]) def _join(depth, bitvec): return _str(depth, _depthbytes) + _str(bitvec, _vecbytes) def _hweight(x): c = 0 while x: if x & 1: c += 1 x >>= 1 return c _htab = [_hweight(x) for x in pycompat.xrange(256)] def _hamming(a, b): '''find the hamming distance between two longs''' d = a ^ b c = 0 while d: c += _htab[d & 0xff] d >>= 8 return c def _mergevec(x, y, c): # Ideally, this function would be x ^ y ^ ancestor, but finding # ancestors is a nuisance.
