obscache: update the variable tracking on disk state after write
Since we updated the on disk content, we should update that value.
In practice the object will likely be discarded after the write, but there is
nothing wrong in being more correct.

Topic branches are lightweight branches which disappear when changes are
finalized (moved to the public phase). They can help users to organize and share
their unfinished work.
In this tutorial, we explain how to use topics for local development. In the
first part, there is a central *publishing* server. Anything pushed to the
central server will become public and immutable. This means no unfinished work
should escape the local repository.
Topic Basics
============
Let's say we use Mercurial to manage our shopping list:
$ hg log --graph
@ changeset: 0:38da43f0a2ea
tag: tip
user: test
date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
summary: Shopping list
#if docgraph-ext
$ hg docgraph -r "all()" --sphinx-directive --rankdir LR #rest-ignore
.. graphviz::
strict digraph "Mercurial graph" {
graph [rankdir=LR,
splines=polyline
];
node [label="\N"];
0 [fillcolor="#7F7FFF",
fixedsize=true,
group=default,
height=1,
label=0,
pin=true,
pos="1,0!",
shape=circle,
style=filled,
width=1];
}
#endif
We are about to make some additions to this list and would like to do them
within a topic. Creating a new topic is done using the ``topic`` command:
$ hg topics food
marked working directory as topic: food
Much like a named branch, our topic is active but it does not contain any
changeset yet:
$ hg topics
* food (0 changesets)
$ hg summary
parent: 0:38da43f0a2ea tip
Shopping list
branch: default
commit: (clean)
update: (current)
topic: food
$ hg log --graph
@ changeset: 0:38da43f0a2ea
tag: tip
user: test
date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
summary: Shopping list
#if docgraph-ext
$ hg docgraph -r "all()" --sphinx-directive --rankdir LR #rest-ignore
.. graphviz::
strict digraph "Mercurial graph" {
graph [rankdir=LR,
splines=polyline
];
node [label="\N"];
0 [fillcolor="#7F7FFF",
fixedsize=true,
group=default,
height=1,
label=0,
pin=true,
pos="1,0!",
shape=circle,
style=filled,
width=1];
}
#endif
Our next commit will be part of the active topic:
$ cat >> shopping << EOF
> Egg
> Suggar
> Vinegar
> Oil
> EOF
$ hg commit -m "adding condiments"
active topic 'food' grew its first changeset
(see 'hg help topics' for more information)
$ hg log --graph --rev 'topic("food")'
@ changeset: 1:13900241408b
| tag: tip
~ topic: food
user: test
date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
summary: adding condiments
#if docgraph-ext
$ hg docgraph -r "topic("food")" --sphinx-directive --rankdir LR #rest-ignore
.. graphviz::
strict digraph "Mercurial graph" {
graph [rankdir=LR,
splines=polyline
];
node [label="\N"];
1 [fillcolor="#7F7FFF",
fixedsize=true,
group=default,
height=1,
label=1,
pin=true,
pos="1,1!",
shape=pentagon,
style=filled,
width=1];
}
#endif
And future commits will be part of that topic too:
$ cat >> shopping << EOF
> Bananas
> Pear
> Apple
> EOF
$ hg commit -m "adding fruits"
$ hg log --graph --rev 'topic("food")'
@ changeset: 2:287de11b401f

$ hg docgraph -r "topic("food")" --sphinx-directive --rankdir LR #rest-ignore
.. graphviz::
strict digraph "Mercurial graph" {

node [label="\N"];

}
#endif
We can get a compact view of the content of our topic using the ``stack``
command:
$ hg stack
### topic: food
### target: default (branch)
s2@ adding fruits (current)
s1: adding condiments
s0^ Shopping list (base)
The topic deactivates when we update away from it:
$ hg update default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg topics
food (2 changesets)
Note that ``default`` (name of the branch) now refers to the tipmost
changeset of default without a topic:
$ hg log --graph
o changeset: 2:287de11b401f
| tag: tip
| topic: food

}
#endif
And updating back to the topic reactivates it:
$ hg update food
switching to topic food
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg topics
* food (2 changesets)
Updating to any changeset that is part of a topic activates the topic
regardless of how the revision was specified:
$ hg update default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg update --rev 'desc("condiments")'
switching to topic food
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg topics

If we update to the *default* head, we will leave the topic behind,
and since it is commit-less, it will vanish.
$ hg update default
clearing empty topic "food"
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
From there, the topic has been completely forgotten.
$ hg topics
Keep working within topics
==========================
Making sure all your new local commit are made within a topic will help you
organize your work. It is possible to ensure this through the Mercurial
configuration.
For this tutorial, we'll add the config at the repository level:
$ cat << EOF >> .hg/hgrc
> [experimental]
> topic-mode = enforce
> EOF
You can also use `hg config --edit` to update your mercurial configuration.
Once enforcement is turned on. New local commit will be denied if no topic is active.
$ echo sickle >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding sickle'
abort: no active topic
(see 'hg help -e topic.topic-mode' for details)
[255]
Ok, let's clean this up and delve into multiple topics.
$ hg revert .
reverting shopping
Working with Multiple Topics
============================
In the above example, topics do not bring many benefits since you only have one
line of development. Topics start to be more useful when you have to work on
multiple features at the same time.
We might go shopping in a hardware store in the same go, so let's add some
tools to the shopping list within a new topic:
$ hg topics tools
marked working directory as topic: tools
$ echo hammer >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding hammer'
active topic 'tools' grew its first changeset
(see 'hg help topics' for more information)
$ echo saw >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding saw'
$ echo drill >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding drill'
But we are not sure we will actually go to the hardware store, so in the
meantime, we want to extend the list with drinks. We go back to the official
default branch and start a new topic:
$ hg update default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg topics drinks
marked working directory as topic: drinks
$ echo 'apple juice' >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding apple juice'
active topic 'drinks' grew its first changeset
(see 'hg help topics' for more information)
$ echo 'orange juice' >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding orange juice'
We now have two topics:
$ hg topics
* drinks (2 changesets)
tools (3 changesets)
The information displayed by ``hg stack`` adapts to the active topic:
$ hg stack
### topic: drinks
### target: default (branch)
s2@ Adding orange juice (current)
s1: Adding apple juice
s0^ adding fruits (base)
$ hg update tools
switching to topic tools
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch)
s3@ Adding drill (current)
s2: Adding saw
s1: Adding hammer
s0^ adding fruits (base)
They are seen as independent branches by Mercurial. No rebase or merge
between them will be attempted by default:
$ hg rebase
nothing to rebase
[1]
We simulate independant contributions to the repo with this
activity:
$ cd ../server
$ hg update
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ mv shopping foo
$ echo 'Coat' > shopping
$ cat foo >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'add a coat'
$ echo 'Coat' > shopping
$ echo 'Shoes' >> shopping
$ cat foo >> shopping
$ rm foo
$ hg commit -m 'add a pair of shoes'
$ cd ../client
Let's discover what other people did contribute:
$ hg pull
pulling from $TESTTMP/server (glob)
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 2 changesets with 2 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
new changesets f2d6cacc6115:fbff9bc37a43
(run 'hg heads' to see heads)
There are new changes! We can simply use ``hg rebase`` to update our
changeset on top of the latest:
$ hg log -G

$ hg rebase
rebasing 6:183984ef46d1 "Adding hammer" (tools)
merging shopping
switching to topic tools
rebasing 7:cffff85af537 "Adding saw" (tools)
merging shopping
rebasing 8:34255b455dac "Adding drill" (tools)
merging shopping
But what about the other topic? You can use 'hg topics --verbose' to see
information about all the topics:
$ hg topics --verbose
drinks (on branch: default, 2 changesets, 2 behind)
* tools (on branch: default, 3 changesets)
The "2 behind" is telling you that there are 2 new changesets over the base of the topic.
Pushing that topic would create a new head, and therefore will be prevented:
$ hg push --rev drinks
pushing to $TESTTMP/server (glob)
searching for changes
abort: push creates new remote head 70dfa201ed73!
(merge or see 'hg help push' for details about pushing new heads)
[255]
Even after a rebase, pushing all active topics at the same time would publish
them to the default branch, and then mercurial would complain about the
multiple *public* heads it would create on that branch:
$ hg rebase -b drinks
rebasing 9:8dfa45bd5e0c "Adding apple juice" (drinks)
merging shopping
switching to topic drinks
rebasing 10:70dfa201ed73 "Adding orange juice" (drinks)
merging shopping
switching to topic tools
$ hg push
pushing to $TESTTMP/server (glob)
searching for changes
abort: push creates new remote head 4cd7c1591a67!
(merge or see 'hg help push' for details about pushing new heads)
[255]
Publishing only one of them is allowed (as long as it does not create a new
branch head as we just saw in the previous case):
$ hg push -r drinks
pushing to $TESTTMP/server (glob)
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 2 changesets with 2 changes to 1 files
2 new obsolescence markers
The published topic has now disappeared, and the other is now marked as
"behind":
$ hg topics --verbose
* tools (on branch: default, 3 changesets, 2 behind)
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch), 2 behind

Working Within Your Stack
===========================
Navigating within your stack
----------------------------
As we saw before `stack` displays changesets on your current topic in a clean way:
$ hg topics --verbose
* tools (on branch: default, 3 changesets, 2 behind)
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch), 2 behind
s3@ Adding drill (current)
s2: Adding saw
s1: Adding hammer
s0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
You can navigate in your current stack with `previous` and `next`.
`previous` will bring you back to the parent of the topic head.
$ hg previous
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
[14] Adding saw
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch), 2 behind
s3: Adding drill
s2@ Adding saw (current)
s1: Adding hammer
s0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
`next` will move you forward to the topic head.
$ hg next
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
[15] Adding drill
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch), 2 behind
s3@ Adding drill (current)
s2: Adding saw
s1: Adding hammer
s0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
You can also directly jump to a changeset within your stack with the revset `t#`.
$ hg update s1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch), 2 behind
s3: Adding drill
s2: Adding saw
s1@ Adding hammer (current)
s0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
Editing your work mid-stack
---------------------------
It's easy to edit your work inside your stack:
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch), 2 behind
s3: Adding drill
s2: Adding saw
s1@ Adding hammer (current)
s0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
$ hg amend -m "Adding hammer to the shopping list"
2 new orphan changesets
Understanding the current situation with hg log is not so easy, because
it shows too many things:
$ hg log -G -r "s0::"

Fortunately stack shows you a better visualization:
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch), 2 behind
s3$ Adding drill (unstable)
s2$ Adding saw (unstable)
s1@ Adding hammer to the shopping list (current)
s0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
It's easy to stabilize the situation, `next` has an `--evolve` option. It will
do the necessary relocation of `s2` and `s3` over the new `s1` without having
to do that rebase by hand.:
$ hg next --evolve
move:[14] Adding saw
atop:[18] Adding hammer to the shopping list
working directory now at d5c51ee5762a
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch), 2 behind
s3$ Adding drill (unstable)
s2@ Adding saw (current)
s1: Adding hammer to the shopping list
s0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
One more to go:
$ hg next --evolve
move:[15] Adding drill
atop:[19] Adding saw
working directory now at bae3758e46bf
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### target: default (branch), 2 behind
s3@ Adding drill (current)
s2: Adding saw
s1: Adding hammer to the shopping list
s0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
Let's take a look at `hg log` once again:

Multi-headed stack
------------------
Stack is also very helpful when you have a multi-headed stack:
$ hg up s1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ echo "nails" > new_shopping
$ cat shopping >> new_shopping
$ mv new_shopping shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding nails'
$ hg stack
### topic: tools (2 heads)
### target: default (branch), 2 behind
s4: Adding drill
s3: Adding saw
s1^ Adding hammer to the shopping list (base)
s2@ Adding nails (current)
s1: Adding hammer to the shopping list
s0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
Solving this situation is easy with a topic: use merge or rebase.
Merge within a multi-headed stack will use the other topic head as
destination if the topic has two heads. But rebasing will yield a
completely linear history so it's what we will do.

Collaborating through a non-publishing server
=============================================
.. setup:
.. Let's create a non-publishing server:
$ cd ..
$ hg clone server non-publishing-server
updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd non-publishing-server
$ cat >> .hg/hgrc << EOF
> [phases]
> publish = false
> EOF
.. And another client:
$ cd ..
$ hg clone server other-client
updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd client
We can now share these draft changesets:
$ hg push ../non-publishing-server -r tools
pushing to ../non-publishing-server
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 4 changesets with 4 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
8 new obsolescence markers
Pushing the new topic branch to a non-publishing server did not require
--force. As long as new heads are on their own topic, Mercurial will not
complain about them.
From another client, we will get them with their topic:
$ cd ../other-client
$ hg pull ../non-publishing-server
pulling from ../non-publishing-server
searching for changes
