# HG changeset patch # User Augie Fackler # Date 1495495092 14400 # Node ID bce5ebe728594150db39a8e1744b217bb62862c0 # Parent 548478efc46c6147e9c2781cf70477b3461b440d bookmarks: warn about bookmark names that unambiguously resolve to a node (BC) I just burned myself on this today because I left out the -r in my `hg bookmark` command, which then left me confused because I didn't notice the bookmark I created in the wrong place that was silently shadowing the revision I was trying to check out. Let's warn the user. This patch only enforces the check on bookmark names 4 characters long or longer. We can tweak that if we'd like, I selected that since that's the fewest characters shortest will use in the templater output. A previous version of this patch rejected such bookmarks. It was proposed during review (and I agree) that the behavior change for a bookmark named "cafe" or similar as history accumulated was a little too weird, but that the warning definitely has merit. diff -r 548478efc46c -r bce5ebe72859 mercurial/commands.py --- a/mercurial/commands.py Thu May 04 11:51:07 2017 +0900 +++ b/mercurial/commands.py Mon May 22 19:18:12 2017 -0400 @@ -968,6 +968,11 @@ and not force): raise error.Abort( _("a bookmark cannot have the name of an existing branch")) + if len(mark) > 3 and mark in repo and not force: + repo.ui.warn( + _("bookmark %s matches a changeset hash\n" + "(did you leave a -r out of an 'hg bookmark' command?)\n") % + mark) if delete and rename: raise error.Abort(_("--delete and --rename are incompatible")) diff -r 548478efc46c -r bce5ebe72859 tests/test-bookmarks.t --- a/tests/test-bookmarks.t Thu May 04 11:51:07 2017 +0900 +++ b/tests/test-bookmarks.t Mon May 22 19:18:12 2017 -0400 @@ -311,6 +311,15 @@ abort: cannot use an integer as a name [255] +bookmark with a name that matches a node id + $ hg bookmark 925d80f479bb db815d6d32e6 + bookmark 925d80f479bb matches a changeset hash + (did you leave a -r out of an 'hg bookmark' command?) + bookmark db815d6d32e6 matches a changeset hash + (did you leave a -r out of an 'hg bookmark' command?) + $ hg bookmark -d 925d80f479bb + $ hg bookmark -d db815d6d32e6 + incompatible options $ hg bookmark -m Y -d Z
