The `help` module is no longer needed, since `clap` handles that.
This meant that the re-exports of each command's `ABOUT` could be removed and
the `const`s can now be private.
Make `git2` an *optional* dependency of `radicle-cob`, and refactor
`radicle` to depend on crates that in turn do not depend on `git2`
*non-optionally*
The main offending dependency of `radicle-cob` is `radicle-git-ext`
from the `radicle-git` workspace in repository
(rad:z6cFWeWpnZNHh9rUW8phgA3b5yGt) which *non-optionally* depends on
`git2`.
So, to achieve removal of this dependency:
1. The crate is refactored to depend on the new crates
`radicle-git-ref-format` `radicle-git-metadata`, and
`radicle-oid` introduced in the previous commits, instead of
`radicle-git-ext`.
2. Some code from the `radicle-git-ext` crate in the `radicle-git`
workspace in repository (rad:z6cFWeWpnZNHh9rUW8phgA3b5yGt) is
copied. See `crates/radicle-cob/src/backend/git/commit.rs`.
This cascades to `radicle` and its dependents.
Firstly, the there is an
`impl Deref<Target=git2::Oid> for radicle_git_ext::Oid`. This made
it very convenient to just deref to obtain the wrapped `git2::Oid`,
so there are many expressions of the shape `*oid` in `radicle` and
its dependents. However `radicle-oid` does not provide
`impl Deref<Target=git2::Oid> for radicle_oid::Oid`, as notably,
`Target` is an associated type, and not a type parameter, so an
implementation of `Deref` would tie the new `Oid` too tightly to a
particular implementation.
Instead, work with `impl From<radicle_oid::Oid> for git2::Oid`
(which can be enabled using the feature flag `radicle-oid/git2`).
This explains the changes from `*oid` to `oid.into()` at every
transition to "`git2` land".
Secondly, `radicle` and its dependents are refactored to also depend
on `radicle-git-ref-format` and (much less prominently)
`radicle-git-metadata` instead of `radicle-git-ext`
This is to avoid pulling in `git2` via these dependencies.
Thirdly, as the re-exports in `crates/radicle/src/git.rs` change,
they are at the same time also cleaned up. Notably, the types from
`radicle-git-ref-format` are re-exported under `fmt` only, not "twice".
While overall this obviously is very much a breaking change, these
changes should mostly amount to changing from `Deref` to `Into`, i.e.,
`*oid` → `oid.into()` and rewriting imports for `radicle::fmt`.
This is indicated by the mostly mechanical nature of the changes to
`crates/radicle-{cli,node,remote-helper}`.
The `--setup-signing` flag is a no-op when combined with `--existing`
and errors on bare repositories.
Make it effective in combination with `--existing` and also rewrite it
to support bare repositories, gracefully falling back to just avoid
writing to `.gitsigners`.
Rewrite module declarations that use the `#[path="…"]` annotation
to the more idomatic `pub mod …` + `pub use …` forms.
For the "self" module, that is not possible because `self` is an
identifier in Rust, and also `r#self` is not admissable as a raw
identifier, so stick to `rad_self`.
Files in submodules were patched as appropriate.
As a library crate, it is bad to return such generic errors.
To get there, errors from `inquire` are downcasted.
This allowed to clean up the public interface of `radicle-term`, so that
it does also not leak the `inquire::InquireError` in its public API.
Microsoft Windows has Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths, see
<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats#unc-paths>
The Rust standard library normalizes paths to this form when calling
`std::fs::canonicalize`, see
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.canonicalize.html>
However, some programs, do not parse these paths correctly, including
our ally `git`:
$ git clone \\?\C:\Users\lorenz\tmp
Cloning into 'tmp'...
ssh: Could not resolve hostname \\\\?\\c: No such host is known.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
The `dunce` crate solves the problem of having to deal with
normalization and avoiding weird UNC paths for us. Note that on
non-Windows platforms, it *behaves exactly like*
`std::fs::canonicalize`!
When using `rad init` the default branch for the project can be predetermined by
inspecting the working copy repository.
To improve the experience, it will first check `init.defaultBranch` in the Git
configuration file.
If it does not find this, it falls back to choosing the default head of the
repository at the time. This may be HEAD, and in this case it will error and
provide helpful information.
The repository may also not have any default head at the time, and this also
results in an error and hint.
