— Remove unused UpdateOpts.Force field (#69)
Force was accepted by the public UpdateOpts but never forwarded to the internal update path, so setting it silently did nothing. Delete it rather than guess at forcing semantics; a real implementation can be designed and added later as a deliberate, wired field if a caller needs it. Rides along with the UpdateResult signature change already landing on Update in this cycle. (user: [email protected], size: 4547) [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using]
# Changelog All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). ## [Unreleased] ### Changed - **Breaking:** `UpdateOpts.Force` has been removed. It was never wired to anything — `Checkout.Update` accepted the field but never forwarded it to the internal update path, so setting it had no effect and gave no error. Deleting it is honest about what the API actually does; real forcing semantics for `Update` can be designed and added later as a new, deliberately-wired field if a caller needs them. `ExtractOpts.Force` is unrelated and unaffected — it is fully wired and unchanged. - **Breaking:** `Checkout.Update` now returns `(UpdateResult, error)` instead of a bare `error`. The internal 3-way merge already tracked which files were written, removed, and left with conflict markers; the old signature discarded all of it, so a caller could not tell a clean update from one that silently wrote `<<<<<<<` conflict markers into working-tree files. `UpdateResult.Conflicted` lists the paths that were merged but not cleanly — this is a successful update (`err == nil`), not an error; a genuine failure still returns a non-nil `error` with a zero-value `UpdateResult`. `Checkout.Extract` is unchanged. - **Breaking:** `Repo.Timeline` now enumerates the repository's `event` table newest-first (every event kind by default, or a single kind via `TimelineOpts.Type`), matching canonical `fossil timeline`. The previous behavior — a first-parent walk from a required start rid — is preserved under a new, honestly-named method, `Repo.Ancestry(LogOpts)`. The old `Repo.Timeline(LogOpts)` was actually an ancestry walk masquerading as an enumeration: it never visited a second parent or a sibling branch head, so it silently omitted any check-in that wasn't a first-parent ancestor of the given start rid. There is no deprecated shim; callers of the old `Timeline` should switch to `Ancestry` if they want the walk, or adopt the new `Timeline(TimelineOpts)` if they want a full enumeration. - `LogEntry` gains a `Kind` field (`EventKind`) identifying which of `event.type`'s six kinds (`ci`, `e`, `f`, `g`, `t`, `w`) an entry is. `Parents` is only populated for `Kind == EventKindCheckin`. - **Breaking:** `Repo.Timeline` orders by `(mtime DESC, rid DESC)`, a total order with rid as a true tie-break at exact mtime equality — a deliberate improvement over canonical fossil's bare `mtime DESC` with no tie-break, which can repeat or skip rows at a page boundary. Pagination uses a new opaque `Cursor` type: take one from a returned `LogEntry.Cursor` and pass it back as `TimelineOpts.After` to resume immediately after that entry. **`TimelineOpts.Before time.Time` and `TimelineOpts.After FslID` are deleted, not deprecated** — callers constructing either field will fail to compile. `Cursor`'s representation is intentionally hidden — it can only be obtained from a `LogEntry`, never built from a timestamp and a rid by hand, because a hand-built cursor derived from a rounded `time.Time` is not guaranteed to match its row exactly, which is what reintroduces skipped or duplicated rows at a page boundary in the first place. ## [0.1.0] - 2026-04-20 Initial open-source release of `libfossil`, a pure-Go implementation of the Fossil SCM that reads and writes the same `.fossil` SQLite repository format. ### Added - Repository lifecycle: create new repos and clone from existing ones. - Working-tree operations: checkout and checkin. - Timeline traversal over commits and events. - Merge and rebase primitives. - Diff and annotate (blame) over tracked content. - Manifest parsing and content-addressed blob storage. - Sync protocol client/server for pulling and pushing between repos. - Observer interfaces for sync and checkout, allowing external hooks into both network sync events and working-tree state transitions. - SQLite driver abstraction with support for both `modernc.org/sqlite` (pure Go) and `ncruces/go-sqlite3` (cgo-free, wasm-based) backends. - Deterministic simulation test harness with BUGGIFY-style fault injection for exercising concurrency and failure paths. - OpenTelemetry observer provided as a separate submodule to keep the core dependency footprint small. - `wasip1/wasm` build target for running `libfossil` under WASI runtimes.
