Summary:
There's some good feedback from Wikimedia here:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-August/062252.html
Try to improve on some of it. In particular:
- Make it clear that /arcanist/ is not where you should be (D3235).
- Provide better connections from "Arcanist User Guide" to other documents.
- Provide a "Quick Start" guide with a simpler set of instructions that links to richer documentation.
- Reorganize the project setup guide to put more important things earlier on.
- Make it clear that you should commit `.arcconfig`.
- Provide more hints for initial setup.
- Describe and organize advanced configuration/extension documentation as more clearly separate from basic setup/install documentation.
Test Plan: Generated, read docs.

Summary:
We can use `.gitattributes` instead but there's no way how to set repository config for all users in Git, right?
So provide a script writting to `.git/info/attributes` instead so that we don't have to .gitignore `.gitattributes`.
Test Plan:
$ scripts/celerity/install_merge.sh
$ git pull # with merge conflict in Celerity map

Summary:
Currently, we have this cumbersome `PhabricatorRepositoryCommitMessageDetailParser` hook. This is really old and outdated; I want to just use the Differential custom field parser. See T945 for a specific application.
However, it allows installs to override author/committer association. Instead, provide an event hook for doing this.
Test Plan: Added a listener, made every commit resolve to "turtle", parsed some commits, verified the events looked sane and they now correctly were all attributed to "turtle".

Summary:
- The most common workflow complaint I've seen recently is something like "how do I use Differential with a branch full of random code that me and several other developers all commit to"? There are some okay answers ("commandeer") but I think the best answer is "don't do that". Add a document explaining how development works at Facebook (and many other companies) without the use of feature branching, why it's better, and how you can lay the technical groundwork you need to to stop doing this.
- Add a general "smaller commits are better" and "your commit messsage should provide context" document.
- Minor updates to other stuff as my understanding of Mercurial has been refined.
Test Plan: Generated and read documentation.

Summary:
blogs are collections of posts. a blog also has metadata like a name, description and "bloggers" that can edit the metadata of the blog and contribute posts.
changes include the post edit flow where bloggers can now select which blogs to publish to. also made various small tweaks throughout the UI to make things sensical and clean as the concept of blogs is introduced.
there's edges powering this stuff. bloggers <=> blogs and posts <=> blogs in particular.
Test Plan:
made blogs, deleted blogs, tried to make blogs with no bloggers. all went well.
verified ui to publish only showed up for public posts, published posts to blogs, un-published posts to blogs, re-published posts to blogs, deleted posts and verified they disappeared from blogs.

Summary:
- Merge CommitTask daemon into PullLocal daemon. This is another artifact of past instability (and order-dependent parsers). We still publish to the timeline, although this was the last consumer. Long term we'll probably delete timeline and move to webhooks, since everyone who has asked about this stuff has been eager to trade away the durability and ordering of the timeline for the ease of use of webhooks. There's also no reason to timeline this anymore since parsing is no longer order-dependent.
- Add `phd start` to start all the daemons you need. Add `phd restart` to restart all the daemons you need. So cool~
- Simplify and improve phd and Diffusion daemon documentation.
Test Plan:
- Ran `phd start`.
- Ran `phd restart`.
- Generated/read documentation.
- Imported some stuff, got clean parses.

Currently, the field list is hard-coded and excludes auxiliary fields. Instead, allow auxiliary fields to elect to be copied.

- Created a new task, verified appropriate field defuaults.
- Created a new "similar" task, verified 'copy' fields copied in.
- Edited an existing task, verified appropriate values.

lighttpd could support rules like this, to add efficiency:
# Aggressively cache all static files
$HTTP["url"] =~ "\.(jpg|gif|png|css|js|htc)" {
expire.url = ( "" => "access 1 years" )
}
# Compress files for faster transfer
compress.filetype = (
"text/plain",
"text/html",
"text/javascript",
"text/css",
"text/xml"
)
compress.cache-dir = <would need to set to something>?
I don't know if that is necessary or useful. Probably not a good idea
at this point, where the code is changing so rapidly: a 1 year cache
of javascript code could cause trouble. And i think the default
lighttpd.conf already compresses text/html, text/plain, text/css, and
application/x-javascript by default, so we're ok there (could add
text/javascript and text/xml, I guess).
Summary:
This addresses three issues with the current patch management system:
# Two people developing at the same time often pick the same SQL patch number, and then have to go rename it. The system catches this, but it's silly.
# Second/third-party developers can't use the same system to manage auxiliary storage they may want to add.
# There's no way to build mock databases for unit tests that need to do reads.
To resolve these things, you can now name your patches whatever you want and conflicts are just merge conflicts, which are less of a pain to fix than filename conflicts.
Dependencies are now a DAG, with implicit dependencies created on the prior patch if no dependencies are specified. Developers can add new concrete subclasses of `PhabricatorSQLPatchList` to add storage management, and define the dependency branchpoint of their patches so they apply in the correct order (although, generally, they should not depend on the mainline patches, presumably).
The commands `storage upgrade --namespace test1234` and `storage destroy --namespace test1234` will allow unit tests to build and destroy MySQL storage.
A "quickstart" mode allows an upgrade from scratch in ~1200ms. Destruction takes about 200ms. These seem like fairily reasonable costs to actually use in tests. Building from scratch patch-by-patch takes about 6000ms.
Test Plan:
- Created new databases from scratch with and without quickstart in a separate test namespace. Pointed the webapp at the test namespaces, browsed around, everything looked good.
- Compared quickstart and no-quickstart dump states, they're identical except for mysqldump timestamps and a few similar things.
- Upgraded a legacy database to the new storage format.
- Destroyed / dumped storage.
