histedit: improve documentation and behaviour of dates (issue4820)

This clarifies in the histedit documentation that the 'edit' action preserves
the date and that the 'fold' action uses the later date. The documentation was
previously silent on this issue which left users in doubt.

It also adjusts and documents the new behaviour of 'roll'. It now fits nicely
with the behaviour of 'commit --amend' and the 'edit' action, by discarding the
date as well as the commit message of the second commit. Previously it used the
later date, like 'fold', but this often wasn't desirable, for example, in the
common use case of using 'roll' to add forgotten changes to a changeset
(because 'hg add' was previously forgotten or not all changes were identified
while using 'hg record').

Wow, that's a great fix.

This...could stand to be its own patch (generally any time a commit
message contains the word "also" that's a sign you've really got two patches).

I'm also not sure I'm sold: why shouldn't roll advance the date?

I’m excited enough about this that I’ve done the split, see:

https://hg.durin42.com/hg-wip/log?rev=only%28histedit%29

With your permission, I’d like to just take that first patch (the documentation fix), and then we can discuss the behavior change to `roll` on the list as a followup. Sound good?

Yes, sorry I didn't split it. I did actually think of it, but about an
hour after I emailed the patch off.

Your split looks pretty good except for the commit messages. It's really
the alteration of the rollup behaviour that addresses issue4820, and of
course the description of that part of the change belongs with that
commit, but it's currently at the bottom of the commit for the doc
change.

But yes, feel free to go ahead and land that part, and we can continue
discussion of the other part.

Fwiw, recently someone identified that if's are roughly as expensive
as method calls.

I /think/ that means it'd be better for:
+        if self.firstdate():
+            commitopts['date'] = ctx.date()
+        else:
+            commitopts['date'] = max(ctx.date(), oldctx.date())

to be managed as:

def date(self, ctx, oldctx):
   return ctx.date()

def date(self, ctx, oldctx):
    return max(ctx.date(), oldctx.date())

Maybe. I’d do whatever’s architecturally more readable without concern for performance here, since it’s histedit and we’ll be doing this computation ~once a commit. The overhead of an extra function call is minor compared to the disk IO that implies.

I originally added another action, 'amnd' for 'amend', but then
modifying 'roll' seemed equally appropriate, and with the benefit of not
adding another action. For some back-story, see:

https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4820

There was some brief discussion on this list a year ago:

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2016-April/083475.html
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2016-April/083477.html
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2016-April/083488.html
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2016-April/083489.html

I recognise there are probably use cases for the current 'roll'
behaviour as well. What I'm primarily interested in is solving the
problems raised in the bug, so if we can do that another way, such as
adding a new action, that will satisfy me just fine.

Smiles,

Ben

Having thought about this more over the balance of my weekend, it
makes sense that this is consistent with 'hg amend' from evolve, and
it feels right enough. Since it wasn't previously documented we'll go
ahead and do this, and if anyone complains we can revert it between
now and 4.2 being final.

I'll push both patches with the commit message adjustments you pointed
out upthread. Many thanks!
