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.
This only move the code, but does not change the displayed labels.
Thus for numerical citation, the label is set to the cite number;
for author-year citation, the abbreviated list of authors is used
i.e. "Smith et al. 2001".
Eventually, we might want to make the label customizable, or get
it from BibTeX.
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.
This is a refactoring commit, which may introduce minor regressions, but should go in the right direction.
* introduce Parser::verbatimEnvironment, which is a wrapper around verbatimStuff
* introduce output_ert, which inserts a string as ERT; this allows to factor out several code instances.
* rename handle_ert to output_ert_inset: this creates an inset and then calls output_ert
* remove handle_comment (use handle_ert instead)
* remove handle_backaspace (unused now)
* use the new methods in handle_listing
TODO:
* use for other verbatim-like cases (Sweave chunk, url...)
* maybe implement Parser::unparse to reparse tokens already parsed with the wrong catcodes (if needed)
