Summary

This patch adds a new config option which can be used to override the -B flag
of push command. If config is set to true, changesets will be pushed to that
bookmark on the server. This is equivalent to --to flag of remotenames and
infinitepush.

After this patch if config is set to true, the behavior will be:

  • Normal push without -B flag: no behavior change
  • specifying one bookmark using -B flag: changesets will be pushed to that bookmark on the server, as explained above. Bookmark pushed will be on the head most revision of the changesets pushed.
  • specifying multiple bookmarks using -B flag: no behavior change, the same behavior as it's today without this config option
  • specifying multiple topologcial heads to push: no behvaior change

There needs some extra logic to update the remotenames state locally after the
push since we know that the bookmark will now be at a known updated location.

I am not sure the functionality and config names should go to core or not, so I have introduced them in this extension. Also suggestions for better config names are welcome.

I'm happy with this feature.

But the code needs work around multiple revisions/heads before it can be queued.

hgext/remotenames.py
99

What happens if we're pushing multiple heads? I suspect this will choose a head/revision arbitrarily - maybe depending on the -r arguments to hg push.

I think we need to validate that the outgoing revs are in a single DAG head and we should then pick the rev that is the DAG head.

Please add test coverage for multiple -r arguments and -r arguments that resolve to multiple heads.

Nit: what is --create?

Strictly speaking, we should probably wrap exchange._pushdiscoverybookmarks so other extensions can get involved. But I think this is fine.

A gentle reminder for reviewing this series. If this config option gets in, we can use it in infinitepush extension too where for now we have overridden -B flag in a hacky way.

Nit: "exist". This can be fixed in flight.

Looks good!

I'm very heavily against this direction. Changing the behavior of push (even in this extension) is something I've always considered outside the scope of remotenames. Having another extension that changes push behavior (e.g. bookmark-push) is where I think this should go so that remotenames is just that: keeping track of remote names.

I think there's room for this feature to live outside of remotenames. But currently I think it is the best place for it, since remotenames is the closest thing we have to... tracking remote names. We can always alias the old config option in the future if we move this functionality elsewhere.

One of the biggest regrets I have about the original remotenames, is the modifying of push (and some default) behavior. The --to is small enough (and I guess fine enough) for now but I absolutely and strongly believe that all the other behavior modifications should stay in an out-of-core repo for now. My goal is to split my remotenames repo to be based off of core's remotenames (basically only having the behavior changing patches there).

Baymax does not catch stuff in Accepted state, but this diff is over 2 years old, so resubmit if still relevant.
