Crate vcs_runner 

VCS-specific helpers built on procpilot. Adds jj/git shorthand wrappers, repo detection, and output parsers.

For generic subprocess execution (stdin, retry, timeout, custom envs), use procpilot::Cmd directly — it’s re-exported here for convenience.

Modules

prelude

Common types and helpers for everyday VCS subprocess work.

Structs

Bookmark

A jj bookmark with sync status.

BookmarkParseResult

Result of parsing bookmark output, including any skipped entries.

Cmd

Builder for a subprocess invocation or pipeline.

CmdDisplay

Owned snapshot of a command’s program + args, formatted shell-style on Display. For pipelines, renders each stage separated by |.

FileChange

A single file change in a diff summary.

GitRemote

A git remote.

LogEntry

A jj log entry parsed from jj template JSON output.

LogParseResult

Result of parsing log output, including any skipped entries.

RetryPolicy

How retries are scheduled and which errors trigger them.

RunOutput

Captured output from a successful command.

SpawnedProcess

Handle to one or more spawned subprocesses (a single command or a pipeline).

Enums

ConflictState

Whether a jj commit has unresolved conflicts.

ContentState

Whether a jj commit is empty (no file changes).

FileChangeKind

The kind of change a file underwent in a diff.

Redirection

Where a child process’s stdout or stderr goes.

RemoteStatus

Sync status of a bookmark relative to its remote.

RunError

Error type for subprocess execution.

StdinData

Input data to feed to a child process’s stdin.

VcsBackend

Which version control system is managing a directory.

WorkingCopy

Whether a jj commit is the current working copy.

Constants

BOOKMARK_TEMPLATE

jj template for jj bookmark list producing line-delimited JSON.

LOG_TEMPLATE

jj template for jj log producing line-delimited JSON entries.

STREAM_SUFFIX_SIZE

Maximum bytes of stdout/stderr retained on NonZeroExit and Timeout error variants. Anything beyond this is dropped from the front (FIFO), keeping the most recent output — usually the most relevant for debugging.

Functions

Check whether a binary is available on PATH.

binary_version

Return a binary’s --version output, if available.

default_transient

Default transient-error predicate.

git_merge_base

Find the merge base of two revisions in a git repository.

git_version
