| == Changeset == ''(for a short intro of the basic concepts of Mercurial, see UnderstandingMercurial)'' A '''changeset''' (sometimes abbreviated "cset") is an atomic collection of changes to files in a [:Repository:repository]. It contains all recorded [:LocalModifications:local modfication] that lead to a new [:Revision:revision] of the repository. A changeset is identified uniquely by a [:ChangeSetID:changeset ID]. In a single repository, you can identify it using a [:RevisionNumber:revision number]. The act of creating a changeset is called a [:Commit:commit] or checkin. The information in a changeset includes * changes to the contents of the files * added/removed/moved files * changes to file names or other external attributes (such as execute permissions) * information about who made the change (the "committer"), why ("comments") and when (date/time, timezone) * the name of the branch ("default", if omitted or not set) Each changeset has zero, one or two [:Parent:parent] changesets. It has two parent changesets, if the commit was a [:Merge:merge]. It has no parent, if the changeset is a root in the repository. There may be multiple roots in a repository (normally, there is only one), each representing the start of a branch. If a changeset is not the [:Head:head] of a branch, it has one or more child changesets (it is then the parent of its child changesets). Technically, the parent changesets of a changeset are retrieved from the [:Changelog:changelog] in the repository. Each changeset contains the [:Nodeid:nodeid] of its associated [:Manifest:manifest]. The [:WorkingDirectory:working directory] can be [:Update:updated] to any commited changeset of the repository, which then becomes the parent of the working directory. Committing changes in the working directory creates a new revision in the manifest and a new changeset (a new revision in the changelog). The parent(s) of the working directory become the parents of the new changeset and the new changeset becomes the new parent of the working directory. "Updating" back to a changeset which already has a child, changeing files and then committing creates a new child changeset, thus starting a new branch. Branches can be [:NamedBranches:named]. * Question: Is a changeset a particular state of the project (like a Subversion revision number), or is it a set of changes to files (like a Darcs patch)? * The way the changeset hash is calculated says that a changeset is a particular state of the project plus all of its ancestor states (i.e. all the changeset it took to get there). In Darcs that's a [http://www.darcs.net/manual/node7.html#SECTION00781000000000000000 tag]. Changesets are stored in the changelog of the repository. Here's what the internal representation of a changeset looks like: {{{ $ hg debugdata .hg/00changelog.d 1208 1102691ceab8c8f278edecd80f2e3916090082dd <- the corresponding manifest nodeid mpm@selenic.com <- the committer 1126146623 25200 <- the date, in seconds since the epoch, and seconds offset from UTC mercurial/commands.py <- the list of changed files, followed by the commit message Clean up local clone file list We now use an explicit list of files to copy during clone so that we don't copy anything we shouldn't. }}} See also: ["ChangeSetComments"], ["Design"] ---- CategoryGlossary |
Annelle is my name plus I totally dig which name. Years ago we moved to New Mexico. Administering databases is my day job today and it's anything I love. It's not a popular thing nevertheless what I like doing is playing baseball plus I would never give it up. I've been working about my website for certain time today.
