Summary

Fix "Update Patch" for generic Differential revisions.

You can now help a coworker to update their patch, from the web.

So, if you visit Diff 111 (not yours) and you click "Update Diff", and you paste a valid diff,
you arrive here:

https://we.phorge.it/differential/diff/222/?revisionID=111

That page as default was suggesting some Diffs that are yours. Plus, now it shows Diff 111.

Omitting the Diff from which the workflow was started made no sense and it's certainly an oversight.

Any follow-up change is welcome to modernize the selector using AphrontFormTokenizerControl.

Closes T15538

Test Plan
  • create a Diff on Differential with user A
  • click on Update Diff from user B (pasting a valid diff) and Continue

Now that patch is selected (and selectable). No dead-end anymore.

This is kept intentionally.

So in short this just assures that the current item is shown.

This is coherent with the above comment:

If a specific revision is selected (for example, because the user is following the "Update Diff" workflow), but not present in the dropdown, try to add it to the dropdown even if it is closed

I don't remember how to explain things to humans

I hope the commit message is understandable

I was finally able to read the code and understand what's going on here.
The original code is strange, and the withAuthors() part in it is definitely wrong in context.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Jul 25 2023, 09:30

ah, the original intention for the second query was "even if the diff is closed", circa 2015. Back then, it was probably not possible to update a diff owned by someone else, so it made sense to add the withAuthor..
