At this moment we do not allow comparison between arbitrary hashes,
but except GUI the code is ready.
Thanks to the powerful way of git addressing we could even ask
for comparisons like '-2 weeks back' if someone wants to play
with GuiCompareHistory.
Only the local index is considered, no remote repo. Also getting the revision
(aka commit hash) is missing. How push and pull could be integrated with the
LyX VCS interface needs to be discussed, but the implemented functionality was
quite straight forward.
The advantage of having this in LyX is the intelligent file name handling
of included files. Implementation as discussed on the list, but ensure also
that an attempt to use locked files fails.
It is not possible to transport the different error/abort/success conditions
of a VCS checkin through a simple empty or nonempty string. Therefore it was
no wonder that the return values were used inconsistently for different VCS.
Now the log and return status are decoupled, and all VCS are handled
consistently. This is a prerequisite for proper locking detection of the
upcoming rename command.
Both cvs and svn are able to retrieve non-existing files from repository,
but this was only implemented for rcs. This is a prerequisite for the
planned move and copy VCV operations. I also improved error schecking and
used extractFromVC() also for files specified on the command line if they
do not exist (in GUI mode, it was already the case in non-GUI mode).
It did always point to the buffer's file name, so it is not needed and it was
not used in most cases anyway. Instead, ensure that owner_ is always set and
cannot be changed later.
This bug occur only at certain Qt versions and systems and we do
not really understand what is going on.
Quoting Stephan - the parent path of "." e.g. never should be ".".
The inconsistency between the name of FileName and the internal QFileInfo
state looks very dangerous.
variable. This is done in the preferences, much like as the PATH prefix.
A single '.' in the paths will get replaced with the current document dir
and also non-absolute paths will be prefixed with that dir.
The default semantics of TEXINPUTS apply, such that, for example, if a
path is terminated with a double slash, all subdirectories will be also
searched by both the TeX engine and ancillary programs such as dvi
previewers or dvips. As an example, if the prefix is set to ".:figs", the
TEXINPUTS variable will be set as ".:<docdir>:<docdir>/figs:$ORIGTEXINPUTS",
where <docdir> is the document directory.
The initial '.' is necessary to address the actual current dir (this will
be the temp dir at preview time), while if TEXINPUTS was initially unset,
such that $ORIGTEXINPUTS is empty, a colon (or semicolon on Windows) will
end the path list. This is very important, because we don't want to replace
the system directories but to complement them and, in order to do that, an
empty element has to be present in the list. Indeed, according to the
TEXINPUTS semantics, an empty element means the standard search path.
This works whether TEXINPUTS is originally set or not, because if the
original TEXINPUTS starts with a colon (meaning that the standard search
path is wanted there) we will have an empty element at that point,
otherwise the final colon will simply serve as a path separator.
Of course, on Windows a ';' has to be used as a path separator. LyX will
take care of transforming the platform path list into one understandable
by the TeX engine. For example, this will be the case for a Cygwin version
of LyX using a native Windows TeX engine or viceversa. I tested all of
this and it works for me.
