Description

The default behaviour for posting is now to determine the capabilities
of the server to see if it supports creating a review request with
commit history. The user can specify the -S/--squash-history
option or SQUASH_HISTORY config option in .reviewboardrc to
override this. However, the configuration option can itself be
overridden by the -H/--with-history flag.

Currently the only SCMClients that "supports" this flag is Git.

Add the DiffCommitResource and DiffCommitListResource resources to
the RBTools web API resources. The DiffCommitListResource handles
the uploading of commits via the upload_commit method.

Add the create_empty_diffset method to the DiffListResource class.
This method is used to create an empty DiffSet so that a review
request can be created with commit history.

Add the get_history method to the SCMClient class. This method
gets a linear history of commit metadata given some revisions.

The commit histories that can be uploaded by this change are simple
linear ones; that is, they must be linear histories (with no merges)
and diffs in commits should not overlap with respect to files.

Testing Done

Uploaded commits containing diffs to Review Board on the dvcs
branch.

Change Summary:

Add -S flag and SQUASH_HISTORY option.

Description:

~		Add the `-H`/`--with-history` option to the `rbt post` command. This
~		flag allows for review requests with commit history to be posted.
~		That is, instead of review requests consisting of only a single diff,
~		they can span multiple commits (i.e., diffs), each of which can be
~		inspected and reviewed. Currently, the only SCMTool that supports this
~		flag is Git.
	~	The default behaviour for posting is now to determine the capabilities
	~	of the server to see if it supports creating a review request with
	~	commit history. The user can specify the `-S`/`--squash-history`
	~	option or `SQUASH_HISTORY` config option in `.reviewboardrc` to
	~	override this. However, the configuration option can itself be
	~	overridden by the `-H`/`--with-history` flag.
	+
	+	Currently the only `SCMClient`s that "supports" this flag is Git.

		Add the `DiffCommitResource` and `DiffCommitListResource` resources to
		the RBTools web API resources. The `DiffCommitListResource` handles
		the uploading of commits via the `upload_commit` method.

		Add the `create_empty_diffset` method to the `DiffListResource` class.
		This method is used to create an empty `DiffSet` so that a review
		request can be created with commit history.

		NB:
		- The commit metadata information generated by this patch is
		bogus.
		- The commit will contain the squashed diff of the entire revision
		range.

		This is currently a proof of concept.

Might be worth adding a config_key for this, in case any projects or users want to default to this behavior.

brennie Jan. 21, 2015, 4:22 p.m.

I made that the default behaviour by checking if the server supports commit histories via the API capabilities.

Looks like this will always be True if --squash-history is not set.

brennie Jan. 21, 2015, 4:22 p.m.

The commit history posting is intended to be the default behaviour unless one of -S/--squash-history/SQUASH_HISTORY=True is set. In case that IS true, we let -H override it.

It should never be the case that with_history is True and self.tool.get_history would throw a NotImplementedError. Earlier in the code (lines 645--652) we check if we have specified the -H option and the tool doesn't support history (via the SCMTool's supports_post_with_history field.
