Here's how fetching looks like in the situation given in #4920 with this PR:
(--all-remotes, or passing --remote b --remote c in either order give identical results)

[nix-shell:/tmp/a]$ jj git fetch --all-remotes
bookmark: master@c [updated] untracked
bookmark: pr@b     [deleted] untracked

[nix-shell:/tmp/a]$ jj log -r 'all()'

For comparison, here are the situations with separate fetch operations (behavior not affected by this PR)
(cc @martinvonz, there was some confusion in the related issue around this, this should show that this implementation has behavior more consistent with performing the fetches separately vs the current code)

Perhaps, the easiest workaround is to do rebase_descendants() per remote? Does this patch solve the problem?

It might be cleaner to do import at the end, but it's weird that git:fetch() accepts multiple remotes (and returns one default_branch.)

So it's a direct fix to the current bug while keeping existing behavior.
Personally I find it rather unintuitive that branch changes on one remote can mess with your local work even if the commits still exist in the shared history.
Although frankly I find it surprising that any kind of fetch can rebase your local commits - my expectation as a new jujutsu user was having to rebase your work yourself when a fetch makes your commits stale. I also expected fetch from multiple remotes to be significantly more atomic than it is now.

Re: default_branch, that's also a bit weird. It's only used from jj git clone, which only supports a single remote. Even if it did support multiple, how could you possibly know which remote is 'most authoritative' for choosing the default branch? What if you clone two forks of the same repo? What if you clone two completely independent repos?
I'm not sure what the most correct thing to do here would be. Returning a Vec of default_branches corresponding to the passed remotes? Making a 'clone' implementation that supports only one remote, handles default_branch, and ripping out that code from fetch? Or just choose the first remote where HEAD refers to a branch?

You can turn it off by git.abandon-unreachable-commits = false, but you'll need to clean up old branches manually (if the remote does rebase/squash merges.)

Re: default_branch, that's also a bit weird. It's only used from jj git clone, which only supports a single remote. Even if it did support multiple, how could you possibly know which remote is 'most authoritative' for choosing the default branch?

Perhaps, the API can be refactored to something like this:

let mut peer = GitFetch::new(..);
let default_branch = peer.fetch(remote_name, branch_names, ..);
...
let stats = peer.import_refs();

(and git::fetch() will be a thin wrapper.)

@essiene might be interested.

This seems like a good approach.

We could call peer.fetch() in a loop for all remotes and at the end, call peer.import_refs just once.

(and git::fetch() will be a thin wrapper.)

We could also have a thin wrapper for git::clone which returns the default branch as git::fetch doesn't need to. And I'll be able to add git::sync that does the extra stuff I need.

If there are no objections, I go ahead and send out a few PRs that do this.

@essiene might be interested.

Indeed. Thanks for looping me in.

Sounds good, thanks.

BTW, I used peer in the example, but it's probably a bad word. I expect peer to be associated with a single remote.

Yeah, makes sense.

* This allows more control over the stages of the fetch.
* Provide thin and directed wrappers for clone and fetch
  which allow slightly different overall actions.
* Allow `git::fetch` to handle multiple remotes.
  * One important side-effect to note (as demonstrated in the changed
    cli test) is that when there are multiple remotes, all fetches
    must pass before `import_refs` starts; no branch imports if a 
    fetch from any remote fails.
* Update call sites to use new `git::clone` and `git::fetch`

…rectly.

* Make the new `GitFetch` api public.
* Rewrite all tests that used `git::fetch*` to use the new API.
  One interesting artifact of the new API is that it holds onto a reference
  of the `tx.repo_mut()`, so the GitFetch object needs to fall go of scope
  completely before we can make any other mutable calls to `tx`.
* Delete the `git::fetch`
* Update `jj git clone` and `git_fetch` in `cli/src/git_utils.rs` to use
  the new api directly. Removing one redundant layer of indirection.
* This fixes #4923 as it first fetches from all remotes before `import_refs()`
  is called, so there is no race condition if the same commit is treated
  differently in different remotes specified in the same command.
