[PATCH v7 0/3] git-gui: revert untracked files by deleting them

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My development environment sometimes makes automatic changes that I don't
want to keep. In some cases, this involves new files being added that I
don't want to commit or keep (but I also don't want to outright .gitignore 
forever). I have typically had to explicitly delete those files externally
to Git Gui, which is a context switch to a manual operation, and I want to
be able to just select those newly-created untracked files in the UI and
"revert" them into oblivion.

This change updates the revert_helper proc to check for untracked files as
well as changes, and then changes to be reverted and untracked files are
handled by independent blocks of code. The user is prompted independently
for untracked files, since the underlying action is fundamentally different
(rm -f). If after deleting untracked files, the directory containing them
becomes empty, then the directory is removed as well. A new proc 
delete_files takes care of actually deleting the files, using the Tcler's
Wiki recommended approach for keeping the UI responsive.

Since the checkout_index and delete_files calls are both asynchronous and
could potentially complete in any order, a "chord" is used to coordinate
unlocking the index and returning the UI to a usable state only after both
operations are complete.

Since the checkout_index and delete_files calls are both asynchronous and
overlap, they clash in wanting to update the status bar. To address this,
the status bar is reworked so that when an operation wants to display
ongoing updates/progress, it explicitly starts an "operation", which is
tracked by its own object, and the status bar handles multiple concurrent
operations by merging their progress and concatenating their text. This is
captured in a separate commit, since it touches a variety of files.

The _close_updateindex proc contains error handling (added in d4e890e5) that
has the potential to interact badly with unlock_index running at the
completion of an async operation. I have refactored the procedure into
separate procs _close_updateindex and rescan_on_error. Call sites that
exercised the combined functionality also unlocked the index, so a combined
proc close_and_unlock_index calls _close_updateindex and then either 
rescan_on_error or unlock_index as appropriate. Call sites have been updated
appropriately.

The revert_helper proc, with its overlapping operations, is an example of a
call site that does not combine the close and unlock/rescan operations. The 
checkout_index proc has been reworked to only call _close_updateindex, and
to call a functor supplied by the caller to captures any errors that occur. 
revert_helper uses this to supply a lambda function that stashes the error
within the chord's body namespace, so that it can then separately call 
rescan_on_error when the chord is completed (or unlock_index, if no error
was captured), which might be substantially after checkout_index encounters
its error. If it turns out that a rescan is called for, it is done once the
deletion is complete.

This is the eighth revision of this change, which differs from the seventh
version in the following ways (most of which are in the second of the three
commits, to do with the status bar rework):

 * The bump of the Tcl/Tk dependency from 8.4 to 8.6 now takes place in the
   third commit, where it is needed and whose commit message actually calls
   it out.
   
   
 * The show method in status_bar_operation has been renamed to restart, and
   the meter is cleared. Also, the supplied message is set as the prefix for
   future update calls.
   
   
 * The call site for $status_operation show in blame.tcl has been
   corresponding changed to $status_operation restart.
   
   
 * A typo has been corrected in a comment. :-)
