:) It's not a very important bug, but isn't it still a bug that the button shows up?

I was expecting to see exactly the view in your screenshot -- changed files expanded inline, and moved files described as such.

I suspect that diff.renames has the same behavior from recent versions, just that it is enabled by default.

venky added a comment to Q472: What is Differential's position on collaborative branches? (Answer 441).

Hmm, but that's not quite the same thing as what I'm asking (I think) -- in my scenario a pair of authors are adding commits to a branch off master (imagine it's a refactor and we're fixing different tests), and the stack of commits is reviewed in one PR. I know I can do this today by just creating a remote branch, collaborating with someone on it, and doing no code review until all the commits land (at which time one of us creates the Differential revision).

I agree that there *shouldn't* be any extra cost purely owing to having more fields if I'm only editing one and it is default-focused, but I'd argue that having a more complex form will still slow humans down (at least initially).

@epriestley - I currently don't have the permissions to edit feed.http-hooks -- it claims I don't have permissions to manage the "finxpc.phacility.com" instance, however I'm apparently an admin on it. We (Danny, the person who set up the instance and I) have also been unable to figure out how to grant me any different permissions - could you please give us a nudge in the right direction? Danny also appears to be an admin, same as me, but has permissions to edit that variable.

I don't want to distract this too much with the "automatic land on accept without author intervention" case. Is there a way to achieve the less controversial "author-triggered land without going to the CLI" case?

In the common case, I'm not arguing against that principle -- "closing a revision" in my example above is a trigger initiated by a human. I'm just not requiring them to switch branches and type arc land. T182 supports this thinking, it seems.

Aug 9 2016, 6:03 PM · Phacility, Feature Request
venky added a comment to T11452: feed.http-hooks on hosted instance.

It perhaps does, I'm still trying to figure all of this out. So a harbormaster http request would notify the bot to deploy, and a herald rule would trigger that request. If we wanted to deploy multiple revisions in one push, we'd just buffer the http requests on the deploybot's end.

The other thing that was confusing was that "Config" didn't actually have all the settings -- some settings are in Config, some user settings are in my "profile", some other settings are in individual apps. It would help to consolidate these into one directory.
