| Comment: | feat(horizon): deepen as a verb, discarding the seed for the old C
Section 5.8 makes deepen the universal remedy of the draft: name a C' that is an ancestor of C and synchronize at it. sync.Deepen finds C' as zit's deepenPoint does, the target itself when it is C's ancestor, else a common ancestor over the P cards the store holds or asked of the origin with the merge-base query; it refuses rather than move C off its own ancestry when none can be established. Repo.DeepenHorizon and 'repo cone deepen' expose it, and the crossing diagnostic now names that command. Moving a structural horizon through FetchCone now discards the held seed before the transfer, so the request offers none and the seed for C, applied at a later date, cannot shadow propagation from the seed for C'. A transfer that fails puts the old cone and seed back, as zit's deepen does: a store left structural without a seed derives no branch state for K. |

feat(merge): refuse a base below the structural horizon, or deepen to it
Section 5.5 forbids merging against a base the store does not hold. In a structural store the walk can reach a boundary check-in as the base, or find none where both sides' ancestry leaves the store, and the merge then failed on a phantom with an error that never named the horizon. content.MergeBaseCrossing decides the crossing for checkout merges and branch merges alike, and the error names the horizon, the base and the deepen, matching libfossil.ErrBelowHorizon. Checkout.MergeContext is the remedy zit's merge applies: given a peer it asks the origin for the base, deepens to reach it and merges again over the real base. 'repo merge' takes the recovery flags and contacts the remote only when a merge crosses the horizon. check-in: d8458ad960 user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-cones, trunk | |

feat(sync): answer and ask the horizon merge-base query
A structural clone cannot compute a merge base whose ancestry lies below its horizon, so draft-fossil-horizon-00 section 6.2.4 lets it ask the origin with pragma horizon-mergebase A B. The origin answers in its pull reply, ahead of the igots where zit places it, with the base or - for no common ancestor, and only for check-ins it holds. Section 8 bounds the walk: merge.FindCommonAncestorWithin carries the held-set walk's visited-node bound and the query goes unanswered past it. The client asks once, in the first request after the cursor, through SyncOpts.MergeBaseOf and reports the answer in the result. Interop runs both ways against zit 9bf7ebfe0f. check-in: 5612ac9771 user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-cones, trunk | |
