Introduces a new COB type to store repository identity documents.
The reason for this change is to:
1. Simplify the code, as the identity document logic resembled a COB,
yet it had custom logic. This allows existing COB code to be used for
identities.
2. Make identity document update logic more flexible, since COB actions
can be added in the future.
3. Re-purpose existing tools around COBs to work on identities, eg. `rad
cob`.
4. Unify the concept of an identity change proposal, with regular identity
changes. This means we can remove the `id.proposal` COB in favor of
using the `id` COB itself.
Notes
-----
* Each repository has one Identity COB.
* The `Proposal` COB has been repurposed into the `Identity` COB.
* Identity documents are stored as *embeds* inside the Identity COB
actions.
* The action that contains new document versions is called `revision`,
just like the Patches COB.
* The namespaced `rad/id` ref is a symbolic reference to that Identity
COB.
* The canonical `rad/id` ref is a direct reference to the commit in the
Identity COB that contains the latest *accepted* revision of the
document.
* All commands for managing identities have been folded into `rad id`.
Hence `rad delegate` and `rad edit` are removed.
* The concept of "rebasing" an identity document is gone.
* The `rad id` output has been updated to match the style of other
commands.
* When a revision has enough signatures, it is automatically adopted as
the current identity, there is no longer the need for a "commit"
action.
* When an identity revision is proposed, and the current identity has a
threshold of `1`, that identity is automatically accepted due to the
above point.
* The idea of "verifying a peer's identity branch" no longer applies, as
COBs cannot be verified one history at a time.
* Since the root commit of the Identity COB does not have a "Resource"
to point to (it would have to point to itself, which is impossible),
we've made the resource id optional for COBs.
Changes the behavior of `git fetch` by running a radicle network-level
fetch (ie. `rad sync --fetch`) before fetching refs from storage. This
avoids having to run `rad sync` before `git fetch`; and tries to make
sure that refs are always fresh.
The `Patch` API and semantics are changed a little bit:
* It's now valid again to propose a revision without being the patch
author.
* To get revisions by the patch author, `Patch::updates` is used.
* `Patch::latest` now only looks at revisions by the patch author.
* Added `Patch::revisions_by`, `Patch::authors` and `Patch::latest_by`.
* The merge behavior on git-push is improved to favor revisions that
merge more recent commits. We also allow for merging the non-latest
revision.
> I'm going to be making a set of breaking changes to COBs in order to
stabilize the data formats. This is hopefully a one-time change that
bundles various breaking changes.
All COBs have been reworked: issue, patch, id.
The changes included are:
* Revise the assign and tag actions to take a single list of
assignees/tags to set, instead of an "add" and a "remove" list. This
makes API usage simpler when editing issues, and simplifies the apply
function
* Rename "tags" to "labels", and the tag action to label. This is
because tag is confusing in the context of git, as it could mean a git
tag. Using label removes that confusion.
* Use DIDs instead of PublicKeys for assignees -- this is more
future-proof
* Modify the manifest file format in the COB tree. Mainly, remove the
`history_type` key which is redundant, and use camelCase for keys
* Flatten the `Thread` actions into the parent action type
* Ensure that operations on redacted objects do not fail, since
redactions could have happened concurrently
* Use a consistent naming scheme for actions, using `.` as separator
* Consolidate comment types and remove `CodeComment`, by adding an
optional `location` field to `Comment`
* Add many placeholder actions that are not yet implemented
To preserve backwards compatibility, a `legacy` module is created with
the old `apply` function. When loading the manifest, we check whether it
is a legacy COB or a "stable" COB, and in the legacy case, use the
legacy code to materialize the state and then convert the object into
the stable type. Eventually, we'll delete the legacy code.
This is a fairly substantial change, which adds a new configuration file
to the user's `$RAD_HOME` that includes node configuration, including
the alias, and also makes node aliases required.
When running `rad auth`, the user is now prompted for an alias, which
defaults to `$USER`.
When running `rad self`, the alias is now shown.
If the user runs radicle without a config file, the defaults are loaded,
and `$USER` is used as the alias.
We consolidate the setup done by `rad checkout`, `rad clone` and `rad
remote add`, so that they all check for node aliases, and are all
capable of setting up tracking branches etc.
Remove this command in favor of the `git push` flow.
We also remove the `rad/patches` remote configuration which wasn't
working properly with `git fetch --all`.
When applying a `Merge` action, we verify that the commit is in the
history of the default branch of that user.
Since this is not the case when issuing a `rad merge`, and since that
command is no longer needed with the push-based merge, we remove the
`rad merge` command completely.
This adds the ability to the git-remote-helper to open and update
patches via a `git push` to the magic ref `refs/patches` and
`refs/heads/patches/<patch-id>`.
The main change is that we had to move away from offering the `connect`
capability in the remote helper, to offering `push` and `fetch`
individually.
To get a feel for how this works, see the `rad-patch-via-push.md`
example.
This change ensures that we include as a parent to the initial commit
of a patch COB, the head of the branch we are proposing as a patch.
This was already happening for patch updates, but we forgot to also
include it for the initial patch revision.
This ensures that the code is always fetched alongside the patch.
When tracking a repository with the `--fetch` option, we run a fetch
once the tracking is done.
When tracking nodes, we don't accept the `--fetch` flag, as there may
not be a repository to fetch.
By mapping all '[.. ]'s with any number of spaces inside them into
'[..]'s, examples can preserve text formatting while using this glob
pattern.
The downside is failed output will show '[..]' in place of the original
version with spaces.
When a merge is applied to a patch, we check whether the threshold
of delegates has been reached, at which point we set the patch status
to `merged`.
This requires threading the identity document oid through the "apply"
process.
Revision IDs are globally unique. Users will be able to use the
Revision ID in place of its patch ID.
Make `rad merge` refuse to merge an older revision unless the `--force`
option is given.
Make the documentation more realistic by using two peers, a maintainer
and a contributor, for the client examples. Define them as 'workflow'
examples, ordering them in their own directory to aid user navigation.
