Changelog

The purpose of this document is to list all of the notable changes to this project. The format was inspired by Keep a Changelog. This project adheres to semantic versioning.

Release 4.2 (2018-04-26)

  • Added this changelog.
  • Added license key to setup script.

Release 4.1.3 (2018-03-28)

Bug fix: Restore support for exporting to directories with relative pathnames.

Release 4.1.2 (2018-03-28)

Bug fix: Make sure update_context() is called before is_bare() is invoked.

Release 4.1.1 (2018-03-08)

Bug fix: Resolve issue #5 by expanding remote git branch names to be unambiguous.

Release 4.1 (2018-03-08)

  • Bug fix: Resolve issue #4 by implementing a new approach to "git branch name discovery" (that works equally well for local branches as it does for remote branches) by switching from git branch --list --verbose to git for-each-ref.
  • Document MacOS compatibility, run MacOS tests on Travis CI. While I never specifically intended for vcs-repo-mgr to be used on Apple systems, a colleague of mine has been trying to do exactly this and has run into a number of issues that are probably caused by platform incompatibilities in vcs-repo-mgr and/or its dependencies.

Release 4.0 (2018-03-05)

  • Backwards incompatible: Force internal merge tool for Mercurial. After isolating the test suite from $HOME my ~/.hgrc was ignored and the following setting disappeared:

    [ui]
merge = internal:merge

    Then I ran the vcs-repo-mgr test suite and meld popped up. Not what I was expecting from an automated test suite! Although it seems unlikely to me that someone would depend on the old behavior the introduction of hg --config ui.merge=internal:merge is backwards incompatible and version numbers are cheap, so I'm bumping the major version number :-).

    I do think the new behavior is a better default for the Mercurial backend given the focus of vcs-repo-mgr on automation, if only to make this backend match the behavior of the other backends.

  • Isolate the test suite from $HOME. I recently added the following to my ~/.gitconfig:

    [commit]
gpgsign = true

    Then I ran the vcs-repo-mgr test suite and I was not amused :-P. This should fix the underlying more generic issue.

Release 3.0 (2018-03-05)

  • Backwards incompatible: Raise an exception when a working tree is required but missing. This change is technically backwards incompatible in more than one way:

    1. Requiring subclasses to implement the supports_working_tree property breaks external subclasses (outside of my control).
    2. The new exception previously wasn't there and would never be raised, but then all of the affected operations (requiring a working tree) would likely end in an external command failure.

    For what it's worth: I don't expect these changes to bite any real life use cases.

  • Merged pull request #3 to improve MacOS compatibility (by replacing mkdir --parents with mkdir -p).

  • Starting from this release the files needed to generate documentation are included in source distributions.

  • Moved the coerce_pattern() function to the humanfriendly package (because I wanted to be able to use it in qpass as well).

Release 2.0.1 (2017-08-02)

Bug fix: Ignore untracked files in HgRepo.commit().

Release 2.0 (2017-07-14)

Various changes to merge_up():

  • Automatically create release branches.
  • Skip merging up when target branch is default branch.
  • Bug fix: Don't delete or close non-feature-branches.

Release 1.0 (2017-07-03)

Major rewrite: Named remotes, selective pushing, init support, etc.

Brain dump of changes:

  • What triggered me to start on a major rewrite was that I'd gotten fed up with the current (horrible) test suite because it depends on the cloning of remote public repositories which makes it slow and fragile. To underline why it is fragile:

    I only know of one place to find public Bazaar repositories which is Launchpad.net, however cloning a Bazaar repository from Launchpad fails more often than it works. Recently the 'more often' turned into always and the test coverage of the Bazaar support in vcs-repo-mgr basically disappeared, without any action from me :-(.

    To improve the test suite I wanted to add support for bzr init, git init and hg init. However that would have made the code even uglier than it already was and so the rewrite was triggered :-).

    Support for init has been added, by the way :-P. I've also added support for creating tags, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to test the support for tags :-).

    After the rewrite I also rewrote the test suite, it's a completely different beast now. Stil slow, but much more robust and with quicker feedback about individual tests.

  • The push() and pull() methods can work with specific revisions and merge_up() has been changed to pull a specific revision (the feature branch that it merges in).

  • The API between the Repository superclass and the subclasses that implement support for a specific version control system has been changed completely, in various backwards incompatible ways.

  • The new API enables introspection of 'remotes' (the repositories from which you clone/pull and the repositories that you push to) which enables pull() to know whether a 'default remote' is configured for any given repository.

  • The new API has a class to represent commit authors, enabling less ad-hoc communication between the superclass, its subclasses and callers.

  • In the process of rewriting everything I've switched to using execution contexts created by executor.contexts, this enables me to configure the working directory in two places instead of having to repeat the same thing in a hundred different places. This change also gives callers much more control over how external commands are executed (so much control that you can in theory run the commands on a remote system over SSH without having a version control system installed on your local system :-P).

  • Support for specific version control systems has been extracted from the main vcs_repo_mgr module into separate modules under the vcs_repo_mgr.backends namespace. The modules in the backends namespace are loaded on demand.

Improve handling of commit authors.

  • Document existing CONSTANTS, make known_release_schemes a documented constant as well.
  • Implement and enforce PEP-8 and PEP-257 compliance.

Release 0.15.1 (2015-08-19)

Bug fix: Make sure git fetch always updates local branches.

To be honest I'm not sure why I never ran into this before, I've been using this functionality for months and updates always came in just fine based on the same version of git. Nevertheless the new git fetch command is the proper, documented way to do what I want git to do so here we go :-).
