Description

Without the presence of a .reviewboardrc file which defines
REPOSITORY_TYPE, RBTools will try to auto-detect the repository type by running
various commands like "svn info", "hg root", etc. This will run through each
repository type until one is found that works.

Unfortunately, if people have nested repositories, this means
RBTools can select the wrong one. For example, some people may have
/home/user/ as a git directory, and /home/user/src/project/ is a subversion
checkout, running "rbt" within their "project" directory may detect it as git
instead of svn.

This change auto-detects all repository types, and then selects the
deepest one. In the case of multiple matching repositories, we output a
warning suggesting that people define REPOSITORY_TYPE in .reviewboardrc in
order to speed up detection.

Testing Done


Tested combinations of nested svn, git, hg repos.
All unit tests pass.

Change Summary:

Check if git changes the CWD, roll back until other clients find their repos, and then find deepest repo. Cannot stop gitClient from changing CWD as that ensures diffs on server are not messed up.

Description:

		Without the presence of a .reviewboardrc file which defines REPOSITORY_TYPE, RBTools will try to auto-detect the repository type by running various commands like "svn info", "hg root", etc. This will run through each repository type until one is found that works.

~		Unfortunately, if people have nested repositories, this means RBTools can select the wrong one. For example, some people may have /home/user/ as a git directory, and /home/user/src/project/ is a subversion checkout, running "rbt" within their "project" directory may detect it as git instead of svn. We'd like to auto-detect all repository types, and then select the deepest one.

Hmmm. We should probably just make sure that get_repository_info doesn't change things. Needing a special case here is ugly.

maram April 2, 2018, 2:54 p.m.

Should I create a separate function to handle chdir for GitClient and have all calls to GitCleint.get_repository_info() call that function as well? 

(GitClient.get_repository_info() has been doing the directory change for quite some time (https://reviews.reviewboard.org/r/2960/diff/1/#))

This looks like leftover debug output. Can we get rid of it?

I think this function might be a bit too long. Might be a good idea to break it up, for example some of the if/branches can be separate functions.

Would it make sense to move all of these Regexes out into one place and a) have them organized by version ranges (e.x. git may change these in some version) and b) compile them

Description:

~		Without the presence of a .reviewboardrc file which defines REPOSITORY_TYPE, RBTools will try to auto-detect the repository type by running various commands like "svn info", "hg root", etc. This will run through each repository type until one is found that works.

~		Unfortunately, if people have nested repositories, this means RBTools can select the wrong one.

This change auto-detects all repository types, and then selects the deepest one.

From my understanding, the idea here is to find the deepest repo in terms of directory depth right? Using the length of the path to determine this might result in selecting a repo that is in a directory with a large name over another repo that is deeper.

I'm not sure if this is an issue here though, as your description makes it sound like you're just looking at parent directories of the user's current working directory. In that case this is a non-issue.

david March 26, 2018, 11:10 p.m.

Good insticts asking this question, but your caveat is correct--the selected directories will always be parents of the cwd.

Does the >>>>>>>> mean anything or is it a part of the reviewboard UI?

This would wrap more nicely as:
