package irmin

The type for branch-consistent stores.

The type for key steps.

The type for store keys. A key is a sequence of steps.

The type for store metadata.

The type for store contents.

The type for store nodes.

The type for store trees.

Type for commit identifiers. Similar to Git's commit SHA1s.

Type for persistent branch names. Branches usually share a common global namespace and it's the user's responsibility to avoid name clashes.

Type for store slices.

The type for errors associated with functions computing least common ancestors

The type for errors for fast_forward.

Repositories.

empty repo is a temporary, empty store. Becomes a normal temporary store after the first update.

master repo is a persistent store based on r's master branch. This operation is cheap, can be repeated multiple times.

of_branch r name is a persistent store based on the branch name. Similar to master, but use name instead Branch.S.master.

of_commit c is a temporary store, based on the commit c.

Temporary stores do not have stable names: instead they can be addressed using the hash of the current commit. Temporary stores are similar to Git's detached heads. In a temporary store, all the operations are performed relative to the current head and update operations can modify the current head: the current stores's head will automatically become the new head obtained after performing the update.

repo t is the repository containing t.

tree t is t's current tree. Contents is not allowed at the root of the tree.

Status provides base functions for store statuses.

status t is t's status. It can either be a branch, a commit or empty.

Managing the store's heads.

Commit defines immutable objects to describe store updates.

Tree provides immutable, in-memory partial mirror of the store, with lazy reads and delayed writes.

Contents provides base functions for the store's contents.

kind is Tree.kind applied to t's root tree.

list t is Tree.list applied to t's root tree.

mem t is Tree.mem applied to t's root tree.

mem_tree t is Tree.mem_tree applied to t's root tree.

find_all t is Tree.find_all applied to t's root tree.

find t is Tree.find applied to t's root tree.

get_all t is Tree.get_all applied on t's root tree.

get t is Tree.get applied to t's root tree.

find_tree t is Tree.find_tree applied to t's root tree.

The type for transactions.

with_tree t k ~info f replaces atomically the subtree v under k in the store t by the contents of the tree f v, using the commit info info ().

If v = f v and allow_empty is unset (default) then, the operation is a no-op.

If v != f v and no other changes happen concurrently, f v becomes the new subtree under k. If other changes happen concurrently to that operations, the semantics depend on the value of strategy:

• if strategy = `Set, the last write wins.
• if strategy = `Test_and_set (default), the transaction is restarted.
• if strategy = `Merge, concurrent changes are merged with f v. If the merge has a conflict, the transaction is restarted.

Note: Irmin transactions provides snapshot isolation guarantees: reads and writes are isolated in every transaction, but only write conflicts are visible on commit.

set t k ~info v is with_tree t k ~info (fun tree -> Tree.add tree [] v).

set_tree t k ~info v is with_tree t k ~info (fun tree -> Tree.add_tree tree [] v).

remove t i k is with_tree t i k (fun tree -> Tree.remove tree []).

clone ~src ~dst makes dst points to Head.get src. dst is created if needed. Remove the current contents en dst if src is empty.

The type for store watches.

watch t f calls f every time the contents of t's head is updated.

Note: even if f might skip some head updates, it will never be called concurrently: all consecutive calls to f are done in sequence, so we ensure that the previous one ended before calling the next one.

watch_key t key f calls f every time the key's value is added, removed or updated. If the current branch is deleted, no signal is sent to the watcher.

unwatch w disable w. Return once the w is fully disabled.

The type for merge functions.

merge ~into i t merges t's current branch into x's current branch using the info i. After that operation, the two stores are still independent. Similar to git merge <branch>.

Same as merge but with a branch ID.

Same as merge but with a commit ID.

lca ?max_depth ?n msg t1 t2 returns the collection of least common ancestors between the heads of t1 and t2 branches.

• max_depth is the maximum depth of the exploration (default is max_int). Return Error `Max_depth_reached if this depth is exceeded.
• n is the maximum expected number of lcas. Stop the exploration as soon as n lcas are found. Return Error `Too_many_lcas if more lcas are found.

Same as lcas but takes a branch ID as argument.

Same as lcas but takes a commit ID as argument.

An history is a DAG of heads.

history ?depth ?min ?max t is a view of the history of the store t, of depth at most depth, starting from the max (or from the t's head if the list of heads is empty) and stopping at min if specified.
