Interface MergeSuperSetComputation

All Known Implementing Classes:

LocalMergeSuperSetComputation

public interface MergeSuperSetComputation

Interface to compute the merge super set to detect changes that should be submitted together.

E.g. to speed up performance implementations could decide to do the computation in batches in parallel on different server nodes.

                               ChangeSet changeSet,
                               CurrentUser user)

                               PermissionBackendException

Compute the set of changes that should be submitted together. As input a set of changes is provided for which it is known that they should be submitted together. This method should complete the set by including open predecessor changes that need to be submitted as well. To decide whether open predecessor changes should be included the method must take the submit type into account (e.g. for changes with submit type "Cherry-Pick" open predecessor changes must not be included).

This method is invoked iteratively while new changes to be submitted together are discovered by expanding the topics of the changes. This method must not do any topic expansion on its own.

Parameters:

orm - MergeOpRepoManager that should be used to access repositories

changeSet - A set of changes for which it is known that they should be submitted together

user - The user for which the visibility checks should be performed

Returns:

the completed set of changes that should be submitted together

Throws:

IOException

PermissionBackendException
