After cloning, we show a cool little summary with some repo stats.
We had to make some adjustments to the way visual width is calculated
due to a bug surfaced around emoji width calculation. Unfortunately
there isn't a perfect solution that works across terminals yet, so the
"variation selector 16" code-point is filtered out for now.
When a fetch is user-requested, a timeout can be supplied that is passed
down to the worker.
When a fetch is service-requested, a default timeout is used.
Private repos are implemented by extending the identity document with a
`visibility` attribute, that can either be `"public"` (default) or
`"private"`.
In case of `private` visibility, only the delegates are allowed to view
the repo, as well as any DIDs added to the allow list.
To implement repo visibility, we simply block fetches from and
announcements to peers for whom the repo should remain invisible.
Private repos are also not announced in the `inventory` message, since
the full list of peers that *may* have the repo is retrievable from the
repo identity. This could cause errors if eg. a peer who is allowed to
view the repo doesn't actually have it. However this is an ok trade-off
for now to keep the complexity low. For repos to truly be private, it's
important that the RIDs don't leak either.
Finally, we modify `radicle-httpd` for now to only list public repos.
Eventually, we would want to change this depending on whether an allowed
peer is authenticated with the service or not.
---
It's also worth mentioning why this approach was taken, vs. end-to-end
encryption. The reasons are as follows:
1. Nodes that do not have access to a private repo will generally not want to
replicate encrypted data that they cannot examine or use.
2. The chosen solution is trivial, while encrypting git objects isn't.
3. Performance of the chosen solution is much better, there is no
overhead.
4. Privacy of the chosen solution is better: RIDs are never leaked, and
neither is the existence of a private repo, nor who has access to it.
There is one downside: Paying for storage of private repos is no better
in terms of privacy than what GitHub offers. Hosting providers will have
access to your private repos, if this solution is used.
Instead of having two types, we simply have one, called `Entry`, which
we rename from `Change`.
There was no real benefit to having two almost identical types, but lots
of added complexity. This patch simplifies the crate by removing one of
the types.
This change allows for files (blobs) to be embedded into COB entries.
This allows for things like image attachments in issue comments for example.
For now, we only enable this in the `issue` COB.
The way it works is that relevant COB actions carry metadata about which
files are attached to them; and we store those files as blobs inside the
COB entry's *tree* object, under an `embeds/` folder.
The `Embed<T>` type is used for the above, and either carries actual
content, or carries a content-id. Retrieving the actual content is as
simple as asking the repository for a blob with that content-id.
As a possible future extension, MIME types could be stored alongside the
files in a "metadata" file. This could help clients display the content
appropriately.
This adds functionality so that on `rad sync` and `rad clone`, we
connect to known seeds if necessary, before attempting to fetch.
In passing, some related changes were made:
* The `rad sync` command's arguments were reworked:
`--replicas <count>` can be used to specify a replica count when
fetching
* The `rad patch` command no longer has a `--fetch` option
* It's now possible to tell the node not to automatically connect to
peers in the background
* `AddressBook` is being used underneath `Seeds` to allow for shuffled
iteration
Only return once the connection is established or failed.
It's still not perfect, as several failure scenarios are not handled,
but it's an improvement.
We move the session address to the top-level struct, since it's needed
in a bunch of places. This change is required for the rate-limiting
code that is coming next.
> I'm going to be making a set of breaking changes to COBs in order to
stabilize the data formats. This is hopefully a one-time change that
bundles various breaking changes.
All COBs have been reworked: issue, patch, id.
The changes included are:
* Revise the assign and tag actions to take a single list of
assignees/tags to set, instead of an "add" and a "remove" list. This
makes API usage simpler when editing issues, and simplifies the apply
function
* Rename "tags" to "labels", and the tag action to label. This is
because tag is confusing in the context of git, as it could mean a git
tag. Using label removes that confusion.
* Use DIDs instead of PublicKeys for assignees -- this is more
future-proof
* Modify the manifest file format in the COB tree. Mainly, remove the
`history_type` key which is redundant, and use camelCase for keys
* Flatten the `Thread` actions into the parent action type
* Ensure that operations on redacted objects do not fail, since
redactions could have happened concurrently
* Use a consistent naming scheme for actions, using `.` as separator
* Consolidate comment types and remove `CodeComment`, by adding an
optional `location` field to `Comment`
* Add many placeholder actions that are not yet implemented
To preserve backwards compatibility, a `legacy` module is created with
the old `apply` function. When loading the manifest, we check whether it
is a legacy COB or a "stable" COB, and in the legacy case, use the
legacy code to materialize the state and then convert the object into
the stable type. Eventually, we'll delete the legacy code.
Move code for writing radicle_surf diff's in git's unified diff format
into its own module. Lean on the type system by defining a
`UnifiedDiff` trait to provide a method `encode` to encode to the
format and another default method to convert to a git 'unified' diff
string.
Additionally a `Header` struct is added to support processing Unified
Diff files. The Header's line numbers must be tracked and modified to
produce legal diff files.
This is in preparation for DDiff support. Upcoming improvements will
include parse unified diff's into these types to support test data.
This commit addresses the inconsistent parsing of the command by fixing the
partial matching behavior for the `--seed` flag. Previously, specifying
the seed value resulted in an invalid option error, as shown in the example below:
```
➜ ~ rad sync --seed z6MksmpU5b1dS7oaqF2bHXhQi1DWy2hB7Mh9CuN7y1DN6QSz
✗ Error: rad sync: invalid option '--seed'
```
With this fix, there are no restrictions on when the seed can be specified.
In a future change, we plan to implement a custom error message when a
match case does not meet specific requirements, such as `rad --fetch --announce`,
which will return a more informative error message. However, this
enhancement is left for a derived solution.
```
➜ ~ rad sync --fetch --announce
✗ Error: rad sync: invalid option '--announce'
```

It turns out that the CRDT formed by the union of Git DAGs
is enough to guarantee everything we need for COBs.
This changes the following things:
* COB operations no longer need to be commutative
* COB histories are traversed in the same deterministic order on all
replicas
* It's now possible to implement RSMs on top of COBs, eg. scripting
* Lamport clocks have been removed
* `radicle-crdt` is no longer a dependency of `radicle`
* COBs are no longer instances of `Semilattice`
* The `Ops` type was removed in favor of having `Op` contain multiple
actions
Help users confirm all their radicle binary versions by providing the
'--version' flag.
Move the print_version function to the radicle crate for use by the node
and remote-rad binaries, and remove tests to confirm the output format
as it is deemed redundant.
