Mutable History and collaboration
=====================================================================


.. warning:: need heavy update


Single Developer Usage
======================

This tutorial shows how to use evolution to replace the basics of *mq*.


Amending a changeset
---------------------


First there is some setup phase you will understand later.

there is a local repository and a remote one.


  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
  > [ui]
  > logtemplate ="{node|short} ({phase}): {desc}\n"
  > [diff]
  > git = 1
  > [alias]
  > amend = amend -d '0 0'
  > [extensions]
  > hgext.graphlog=
  > hgext.rebase=
  > EOF
  $ $(dirname $TESTDIR)/enable.sh >> $HGRCPATH 2> /dev/null

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

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

  $ cd local

You can reopen you eyes.

Now we make a first version of our shopping list.

  $ 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

We share this first version 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"

I now have the following history:

  $ hg log
  d85de4546133 (draft): adding fruit
  4d5dc8187023 (draft): adding condiment
  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list

But, I just notice, I made a typo in Banana.

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 changeset

hopefully. I can use hg amend to rewrite my faulty changeset!

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

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

close your eyes

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

open your eyes

  $ 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 the remote head is immutable

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

  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.

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

I add new item to my list

  $ cat >> shopping << EOF
  > car
  > bus
  > plane
  > boat
  > EOF
  $ hg ci -m 'transport'
  $ hg log
  d58c77aa15d7 (draft): transport
  387187ad9bd9 (draft): adding fruit
  dfd3a2d7691e (draft): adding condiment
  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  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 kill . # . 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
  387187ad9bd9 (draft): adding fruit
  dfd3a2d7691e (draft): adding condiment
  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list

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


We create two changeset.


  $ 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
  c48f32fb1787 (draft): SPAM SPAM
  8d39a843582d (draft): bathroom stuff
  387187ad9bd9 (draft): adding fruit
  dfd3a2d7691e (draft): adding condiment
  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list

.. note: don'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
  $ hg log -G

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

We have a new SPAM SPAM version without the bathroom stuff

  $ grep Spam shopping  # enouth spamm

  $ grep Toothbrush shopping # no Toothbrush

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

  $ hg rebase -Dr 8d39a843582d -d a2fccc2e7b08
  merging shopping
  $ hg phase --draft .


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

To be done (currently achieve with "two commit + debugobsolete")

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

To be done (currently achieve with "revert + debugobsolete" or "rebase --collapse")

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
  8a79ae8b029e (public): bathroom stuff
  a2fccc2e7b08 (public): SPAM SPAM
  387187ad9bd9 (public): adding fruit
  dfd3a2d7691e (public): adding condiment
  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  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
  a2fccc2e7b08 (public): SPAM SPAM
  387187ad9bd9 (public): adding fruit
  dfd3a2d7691e (public): adding condiment
  9ca060c80d74 (public): SPAM
  7e82d3f3c2cb (public): Monthy Python Shopping list

Let's make thz local repo "non publishing"

  $ echo "[phases]\npublish=false" >> ../local/.hg/hgrc
  $ echo "[phases]\npublish=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

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

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

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

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

While this time locally, we updated "bathroom changeset"

  $ cd ../local
  $ hg up 8a79ae8b029e -q
  $ sed -i'' -e 's/... More bathroom stuff to come/Bath Robe/' shopping
  $ hg amend
  $ hg log
  ffa278c50818 (draft): bathroom stuff
  a2fccc2e7b08 (public): SPAM SPAM

When we pull from remote again we get an unstable state!

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

In hgview there is a nice doted relation highlighting ffa278c50818  is a new
version of 8a79ae8b029e. this is not yet ported to graphlog.

To resolve this unstable state, you need to rebase 9ac5d0e790a2 onto
ffa278c50818 the "hg stabilize" command will make this for you. It has a
--dry-run option to only suggest the next move

  $ hg stabilize --dry-run
  move:[15] animals
  atop:[14] bathroom stuff
  hg rebase -Dr 9ac5d0e790a2 -d ffa278c50818


Let's do it

  $ hg rebase -Dr 9ac5d0e790a2 -d ffa278c50818

The old version of bathroom is hidden again now.

  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

Relocating unstable change after kill
----------------------------------------------

The remote guy keep working

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

  $ cd ../local

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

  $ hg kill 437efbcaf700
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  working directory now at ffa278c50818
  1 new unstables 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. There
will be a "evol-merge" command to merge conflicting amend
