Sometimes it is necessary to query the heads of a document at the time a
transaction started without having a mutable reference to the
transactable. Add `Transactable::base_heads` to do this.
The API of Automerge::generate_sync_message requires that the user keep
track of in flight messages themselves if they want to avoid sending
duplicate messages. To avoid this add a flag to `automerge::sync::State`
to track if there are any in flight messages and return `None` from
`generate_sync_message` if there are.
Generating patches to text objects (a la the edit-trace benchmark) was
very slow due to appending to the back of a Vec. Use the SequenceTree
(effectively a B-tree) instead so as to speed up sequence patch
generation.
The assert_doc and assert_obj macros in automerge/tests::helpers are
useful for writing tests for any application working with automerge
documents. Typically however, you only want these utilities in tests so
rather than packaging them in the main `automerge` crate move them to a
new crate (in the spirit of `tokio_test`)
The logic for `clone` which was updated to support cloning a viewed
document inadverantly left the heads of the cloned document state in
place, which meant that cloned documents could not be `change`d. Set
state.heads to undefined when cloning to allow changing them.
Sometimes you need a cheap copy of a document at a given set of heads
just so you can see what has changed. Cloning the document to do this is
quite expensive when you don't need a writable copy. Add automerge.view
to allow a cheap read only copy of a document at a given set of heads
and add an additional heads argument to clone for when you do want a
writable copy.
The cmake CI seemed to reference a few nonexistent targets for docs and
tests. Remove the doc generation step and point the test CI script at
the generated test program.
