Timeline

Review follow-ups for the leaf audit:

- leaf.Audit reports a row for a rid that no recheck reaches, that is a rid with no branch row in no plink row. A file artifact or a rid with no artifact used to pass. - Verify collects the parents named by every parent tag, as well as by P-cards, whose link plink no longer holds. A parent that an earlier, since replaced, reparent linked is then excused. repostate.7.3.reparent-twice-no-recheck covers that order. - The stale finding excuses a child carrying a parent tag row of any type, since a cancelled reparent leaves its link in place until a rebuild. - Every leaf-table case also runs Verify on the tables fossil(1) derives, per artifact and rebuilt, except where the case records fossil departing from the draft.

* fix(checkout): keep uncommitted changes across Update, as fossil does

Update compared only committed versions: it wrote the target over a locally edited file, deleted an edited file the target removed, and merged the current and target check-ins with their ancestor while ignoring the working file.

It now follows fossil's update (src/update.c): scan the checkout, then for each file take the target's content when there is no local change, merge a local edit three ways (the checkout's version as base, the working file as local, the target as other) with conflicts listed in Conflicted, keep an edited file the target deletes as an untracked file, keep pending adds and removals, restore a missing file, and copy an untracked file the target adds over to NAME-original first. A dry run writes nothing. Files written with the target's content record the mtime of the write. Files are matched by name; a target-side rename is not followed.

The two tests that relied on merging two branches' committed changes now make the clashing edit locally. A fossil 2.28 interop test runs the same edits through fossil update and compares files, fossil changes and Status.

* fix(checkout): make Update safe on binary files, failures and dry runs

A binary file (a NUL byte, or a line over 32,767 bytes, as fossil's line diff refuses) is no longer line-merged. Update saves the working copy as NAME-original and writes the target, as fossil's update does; Merge keeps the checkout's copy, as fossil's merge does. Both used to splice the versions and report a clean merge. merge.IsText is fossil's test.

Update refuses before writing anything when a file it must write or delete has a directory or a read-only file in the way, moves the checkout database to the target in one transaction, and in a dry run leaves the database untouched (the scan's findings stay in memory). Every target file gets the target's executable bit, as fossil's checkout_set_all_exe does, so a bit-only change reaches the disk.

UpdateResult.Unmerged lists files left to reconcile without markers: edited files the target deletes, files added both locally and by the target, and binary conflicts. The interop test now covers a binary conflict against fossil 2.28.

* fix(checkout): check real write access before Update writes anything

The pre-write check read the owner-write bit: it missed an unwritable directory (a remove failed after a merge had been written), files owned by others, and wrongly refused for root. It now asks the storage, via an optional CheckWritable: OSStorage uses access(2) with W_OK on unix and a read-only-attribute check elsewhere (js/wasm, Windows). Every step needs its directory writable; a write or merge over an existing file needs the file writable too.

A read-only untracked file where the target adds one is backed up to NAME-original, deleted and replaced, as fossil does, instead of refused.

Merge keeps a binary file whatever its strategy, as fossil's merge does. setVVar's precondition now catches a nil *sql.DB or *sql.Tx inside the interface.
