# This file is responsible for fetching the sage source and adding necessary patches.

# all get the same sources with the same patches applied.

  # Fetch a diff between `base` and `rev` on sage's git server.
  # Used to fetch trac tickets by setting the `base` to the last release and the
  # `rev` to the last commit of the ticket.

  # We don't use sage's own build system (which builds all its
  # dependencies), so we exclude changes to "build/" from patches by
  # default to avoid conflicts.

      # There are three places to get changes from:
      #
      # 1) From Sage's Trac. Contains all release tags (like "9.4") and all developer
      # branches (wip patches from tickets), but exports each commit as a separate
      # patch, so merge commits can lead to conflicts. Used if squashed == false.
      #
      # The above is the preferred option. To use it, find a Trac ticket and pass the
      # "Commit" field from the ticket as "rev", choosing "base" as an appropriate
      # release tag, i.e. a tag that doesn't cause the patch to include a lot of
      # unrelated changes. If there is no such tag (due to nonlinear history, for
      # example), there are two other options, listed below.
      #
      # 2) From GitHub's sagemath/sage repo. This lets us use a GH feature that allows
      # us to choose between a .patch file, with one patch per commit, or a .diff file,
      # which squashes all commits into a single diff. This is used if squashed ==
      # true. This repo has all release tags. However, it has no developer branches, so
      # this option can't be used if a change wasn't yet shipped in a (possibly beta)
      # release.
      #
      # 3) From GitHub's sagemath/sagetrac-mirror repo. Mirrors all developer branches,
      # but has no release tags. The only use case not covered by 1 or 2 is when we need
      # to apply a patch from an open ticket that contains merge commits.
      #
      # Item 3 could cover all use cases if the sagemath/sagetrack-mirror repo had
      # release tags, but it requires a sha instead of a release number in "base", which
      # is inconvenient.
