As we have discussed many times on Discord and GitHub, `--destination`
is not a great name because `--insert-before` and `--insert-after` are
also destinations. The most popular alternative seems to be
`--onto`. We already use that term in descriptions in several places,
such as in the help text for `rebase -d` where we say "The revision(s)
to rebase onto". This patch therefore renames the `--destination` flag
to `--onto`.
The short name naturally becomes `-o`. That is perhaps a little
unfortunate because it's a common short name for `--output <file>`
arguments, but we don't use that anywhere so it seems fine.
Perhaps we should also rename `--source` (used by `rebase` and `fix`)
to something else. Perhaps the most obvious name is `--descendants`,
but the short form would be `-d`, which is of course already taken by
`--destination` in the case of `rebase`. Either way, I'm leaving that
rename for later. It would be good to do it before next release if we
are going to do it, though.
Closes#7941
We haven't had any reports of problems from people who opted in. Since
it's early in the release cycle now, let's now test it on everyone who
builds from head, so we get almost a month of testing from those
people before it's enabled by default in a released version.
This impacts lots of test cases because the change-id header is added
to the Git commit. Most are uninteresting. `test_git_fetch` now sees
some divergent changes where it used to see only divergent bookmarks,
which makes sense.
This adds a revert command which is similar to backout, but adds the
`--destination`, `--insert-after`, and `--insert-before` optoins to
customize the location of the new reverted commits.
`jj backout` will subsequently be deprecated.
Closes#5688.
