They are represented by a list of patches, with the first patch in the list being applied first. \newcommand{\commutex}{\longleftrightarrow} \newcommand{\commutes}{\longleftrightarrow} The first way (of only two) to change the context of a patch is by commutation, which is the process of changing the order of two sequential patches. \begin{dfn} The commutation of patches $P_1$ and $P_2$ is represented by \[ P_2 P_1 \commutes {P_1}' {P_2}'. \] Here $P_1'$ is intended to describe the same change as $P_1$, with the only difference being that $P_1'$ is applied after $P_2'$ rather than before $P_2$. \end{dfn} The above definition is obviously rather vague, the reason being that what is the ``same change'' has not been defined, and we simply assume (and hope) that the code's view of what is the ``same change'' will match those of its human users. The `$\commutes$' operator should be read as something like the $==$ operator in C, indicating that the right hand side performs identical changes to the left hand side, but the two patches are in reversed order. When read in this manner, it is clear that commutation must be a reversible process, and indeed this means that commutation \emph{can} fail, and must fail in certain cases. For example, the creation and deletion of the same file cannot be commuted. When two patches fail to commutex, it is said that the second patch depends on the first, meaning that it must have the first patch in its context (remembering that the context of a patch is a set of patches, which is how we represent a tree). \footnote{The fact that commutation can fail makes a huge difference in the whole patch formalism. It may be possible to create a formalism in which commutation always succeeds, with the result of what would otherwise be a commutation that fails being something like a virtual particle (which can violate conservation of energy), and it may be that such a formalism would allow strict mathematical proofs (whereas those used in the current formalism are mostly only hand waving ``physicist'' proofs). However, I'm not sure how you'd deal with a request to delete a file that has not yet been created, for example. Obviously you'd need to create some kind of antifile, which would annihilate with the file when that file finally got created, but I'm not entirely sure how I'd go about doing this. $\ddot\frown$ So I'm sticking with my hand waving formalism.} %I should add that one using the inversion relationship of sequential %patches, one can avoid having to provide redundant definitions of %commutation. % There is another interesting property which is that a commutex's results % can't be affected by commuting another thingamabopper. \begin{code}

\end{code} \paragraph{Merge} \newcommand{\merge}{\Longrightarrow} The second way one can change the context of a patch is by a {\bf merge} operation. A merge is an operation that takes two parallel patches and gives a pair of sequential patches. The merge operation is represented by the arrow ``\( \merge \)''. \begin{dfn}\label{merge_dfn} The result of a merge of two patches, $P_1$ and $P_2$ is one of two patches, $P_1'$ and $P_2'$, which satisfy the relationship: \[ P_2 \parallel P_1 \merge {P_2}' P_1 \commutex {P_1}' P_2. \] \end{dfn} Note that the sequential patches resulting from a merge are \emph{required} to commutex. This is an important consideration, as without it most of the manipulations we would like to perform would not be possible. The other important fact is that a merge \emph{cannot fail}. Naively, those two requirements seem contradictory. In reality, what it means is that the result of a merge may be a patch which is much more complex than any we have yet considered\footnote{Alas, I don't know how to prove that the two constraints even \emph{can} be satisfied. The best I have been able to do is to believe that they can be satisfied, and to be unable to find an case in which my implementation fails to satisfy them. These two requirements are the foundation of the entire theory of patches (have you been counting how many foundations it has?).}. \subsection{How merges are actually performed} The constraint that any two compatible patches (patches which can successfully be applied to the same tree) can be merged is actually quite difficult to apply. The above merge constraints also imply that the result of a series of merges must be independent of the order of the merges. So I'm putting a whole section here for the interested to see what algorithms I use to actually perform the merges (as this is pretty close to being the most difficult part of the code). The first case is that in which the two merges don't actually conflict, but don't trivially merge either (e.g.\ hunk patches on the same file, where the line number has to be shifted as they are merged). This kind of merge can actually be very elegantly dealt with using only commutation and inversion. There is a handy little theorem which is immensely useful when trying to merge two patches. \begin{thm}\label{merge_thm} $ P_2' P_1 \commutex P_1' P_2 $ if and only if $ P_1'^{ -1} P_2' \commutex P_2 P_1^{ -1} $, provided both commutations succeed. If either commutex fails, this theorem does not apply. \end{thm} This can easily be proven by multiplying both sides of the first commutation by $P_1'^{ -1}$ on the left, and by $P_1^{ -1}$ on the right. Besides being used in merging, this theorem is also useful in the recursive commutations of mergers. From Theorem~\ref{merge_thm}, we see that the merge of $P_1$ and $P_2'$ is simply the commutation of $P_2$ with $P_1^{ -1}$ (making sure to do the commutation the right way). Of course, if this commutation fails, the patches conflict. Moreover, one must check that the merged result actually commutes with $P_1$, as the theorem applies only when \emph{both} commutations are successful. \begin{code}

elegantMerge :: (Patch :\/: Patch) C(x y)
              -> Maybe ((Patch :/\: Patch) C(x y))
elegantMerge (p1 :\/: p2) = do
  p1' :> ip2' <- commute (invert p2 :> p1)
  p1o :> _    <- commute (p2 :> p1')
  guard $ unsafeCompare p1o p1 -- should be a redundant check
  return $ invert ip2' :/\: p1'

\end{code} Of course, there are patches that actually conflict, meaning a merge where the two patches truly cannot both be applied (e.g.\ trying to create a file and a directory with the same name). We deal with this case by creating a special kind of patch to support the merge, which we will call a ``merger''. Basically, a merger is a patch that contains the two patches that conflicted, and instructs darcs basically to resolve the conflict. By construction a merger will satisfy the commutation property (see Definition~\ref{merge_dfn}) that characterizes all merges. Moreover the merger's properties are what makes the order of merges unimportant (which is a rather critical property for darcs as a whole). The job of a merger is basically to undo the two conflicting patches, and then apply some sort of a ``resolution'' of the two instead. In the case of two conflicting hunks, this will look much like what CVS does, where it inserts both versions into the file. In general, of course, the two conflicting patches may both be mergers themselves, in which case the situation is considerably more complicated. \begin{code}
{-
A note about mergers and type witnesses
---------------------------------------

The merger code predates the introduction of type witnesses, and because
of its complexity has proved the hardest part of the codebase to retrofit.
Attempting to do this has exposed various places where the code behaves
oddly (e.g. 'putBefore' below); these are likely to be bugs but fixing
them would be potentially disruptive and dangerous as it might change
the existing merge behaviour and thus break existing repositories.

As a result the addition of witnesses to this code has required the
liberal use of unsafe operators. In effect, witnesses bring no safety
in this area; the sole purpose of adding them here was to allow this
code to run as part of a codebase that uses witnesses everywhere else.

A key problem point is the type of the 'Merger' and 'Regrem' constructors
of Patch, where the witnesses seem odd. It is likely that some or many
of the unsafe operations could be removed by finding a better type for
these constructors.

\end{code} Much of the merger code depends on a routine which recreates from a single merger the entire sequence of patches which led up to that merger (this is, of course, assuming that this is the complicated general case of a merger of mergers of mergers). This ``unwind'' procedure is rather complicated, but absolutely critical to the merger code, as without it we wouldn't even be able to undo the effects of the patches involved in the merger, since we wouldn't know what patches were all involved in it. Basically, unwind takes a merger such as \begin{verbatim} M( M(A,B), M(A,M(C,D))) \end{verbatim} From which it recreates a merge history: \begin{verbatim} C A M(A,B) M( M(A,B), M(A,M(C,D))) \end{verbatim} (For the curious, yes I can easily unwind this merger in my head [and on paper can unwind insanely more complex mergers]---that's what comes of working for a few months on an algorithm.) Let's start with a simple unwinding. The merger \verb!M(A,B)! simply means that two patches (\verb!A! and \verb!B!) conflicted, and of the two of them \verb!A! is first in the history. The last two patches in the unwinding of any merger are always just this easy. So this unwinds to: \begin{verbatim} A M(A,B) \end{verbatim} What about a merger of mergers? How about \verb!M(A,M(C,D))!. In this case we know the two most recent patches are: \begin{verbatim} A M(A,M(C,D)) \end{verbatim} But obviously the unwinding isn't complete, since we don't yet see where \verb!C! and \verb!D! came from. In this case we take the unwinding of \verb!M(C,D)! and drop its latest patch (which is \verb!M(C,D)! itself) and place that at the beginning of our patch train: \begin{verbatim} C A M(A,M(C,D)) \end{verbatim} As we look at \verb!M( M(A,B), M(A,M(C,D)))!, we consider the unwindings of each of its subpatches: \begin{verbatim} C A A M(A,B) M(A,M(C,D)) \end{verbatim} As we did with \verb!M(A,M(C,D))!, we'll drop the first patch on the right and insert the first patch on the left. That moves us up to the two \verb!A!'s. Since these agree, we can use just one of them (they ``should'' agree). That leaves us with the \verb!C! which goes first. The catch is that things don't always turn out this easily. There is no guarantee that the two \verb!A!'s would come out at the same time, and if they didn't, we'd have to rearrange things until they did. Or if there was no way to rearrange things so that they would agree, we have to go on to plan B, which I will explain now. Consider the case of \verb!M( M(A,B), M(C,D))!. We can easily unwind the two subpatches \begin{verbatim} A C M(A,B) M(C,D) \end{verbatim} Now we need to reconcile the \verb!A! and \verb!C!. How do we do this? Well, as usual, the solution is to use the most wonderful Theorem~\ref{merge_thm}. In this case we have to use it in the reverse of how we used it when merging, since we know that \verb!A! and \verb!C! could either one be the \emph{last} patch applied before \verb!M(A,B)! or \verb!M(C,D)!. So we can find \verb!C'! using \[ A^{ -1} C \commutex C' A'^{ -1} \] Giving an unwinding of \begin{verbatim} C' A M(A,B) M( M(A,B), M(C,D) ) \end{verbatim} There is a bit more complexity to the unwinding process (mostly having to do with cases where you have deeper nesting), but I think the general principles that are followed are pretty much included in the above discussion. \begin{code}

\end{code} \section{Conflicts} There are a couple of simple constraints on the routine which determines how to resolve two conflicting patches (which is called `glump'). These must be satisfied in order that the result of a series of merges is always independent of their order. Firstly, the output of glump cannot change when the order of the two conflicting patches is switched. If it did, then commuting the merger could change the resulting patch, which would be bad. Secondly, the result of the merge of three (or more) conflicting patches cannot depend on the order in which the merges are performed. The conflict resolution code (glump) begins by ``unravelling'' the merger into a set of sequences of patches. Each sequence of patches corresponds to one non-conflicted patch that got merged together with the others. The result of the unravelling of a series of merges must obviously be independent of the order in which those merges are performed. This unravelling code (which uses the unwind code mentioned above) uses probably the second most complicated algorithm. Fortunately, if we can successfully unravel the merger, almost any function of the unravelled merger satisfies the two constraints mentioned above that the conflict resolution code must satisfy. \begin{code}
instance Conflict Patch where
  commuteNoConflicts (x:>y) =   do x' :< y' <- commuteNoMerger (y :< x)
