jj-cli 0.11.0

v0.11.0

on Rust Cargo

Breaking changes

• Conflicts are now stored in a different way. Commits written by a new jj
  binary will not be read correctly by older jj binaries. The new model
  solves some performance problems with the old model. For example, jj log
  should be noticeably faster on large repos. You may need to create a new
  clone to see the full speedup.

• The remote_branches() revset now includes branches exported to the Git
  repository (so called Git-tracking branches.) Use
  remote_branches(remote=exact:"origin") to query branches of certain remote.

• Status messages are now printed to stderr.

• jj config set now interprets the value as TOML also if it's a valid TOML
  array or table. For example, jj config set --user 'aliases.n' '["new"]'

• Remote branches now have tracking or non-tracking flags. The
  git.auto-local-branch setting is applied only to newly fetched remote
  branches. Existing remote branches are migrated as follows:

  • If local branch exists, the corresponding remote branches are considered
    tracking branches.
  • Otherwise, the remote branches are non-tracking branches.

  If the deduced tracking flags are wrong, use jj branch track/untrack
  commands to fix them up.

  See automatic local branch creation
  for details.

• Non-tracking remote branches aren't listed by default. Use jj branch list --all to show all local and remote branches.

• It's not allowed to push branches if non-tracking remote branches of the same
  name exist.

• Pushing deleted/moved branches no longer abandons the local commits referenced
  by the remote branches.

• jj git fetch --branch now requires glob: prefix to expand * in branch
  name.

New features

• jj's stable release can now be installed with cargo binstall jj-cli.

• jj workspace add now takes a --revision argument.

• jj workspace forget can now forget multiple workspaces at once.

• branches()/remote_branches()/author()/committer()/description()
  revsets now support glob matching.

• jj branch delete/forget/list, and jj git push --branch now support
  string pattern syntax. The --glob option
  is deprecated in favor of glob: pattern.

• The branches/tags/git_refs/git_head template keywords now return a
  list of RefNames. They were previously pre-formatted strings.

• The new template keywords local_branches/remote_branches are added to show
  only local/remote branches.

• jj workspace add now preserves all parents of the old working-copy commit
  instead of just the first one.

• jj rebase -r gained the ability to rebase a revision A onto a descendant
  of A.

Fixed bugs

• Updating the working copy to a commit where a file that's currently ignored
  in the working copy no longer leads to a crash
  (#976).

• Conflicts in executable files can now be resolved just like conflicts in
  non-executable files (#1279).

• jj new --insert-before and --insert-after now respect immutable revisions
  (#2468).
