0.5.2 (2023-02-13)

Refactor "cache type" to "recheck method" in all code and documentation
- Issue: #203
- Renamed CacheType to RecheckMethod
- Revised documentation for recheck methods
Add xvc file untrack command.
- Issue: #113
- Write the reference page: book/src/ref/xvc-file-untrack.md
  - I believe there must be two separate commands: xvc file untrack and xvc file remove. The former is to remove the file from Xvc tracking, and the latter is to remove the file from the workspace, cache, or storages. There are valid use cases to remove the file from cache without untracking it, and vice versa.
  - There will also be a xvc file versions command to list the versions of a file and restore them to a directory.
  - I think it's better to implement remove and untrack commands in one go.
  - Added join to AbsolutePath.
    - Assert the parameter is not absolute.
      - Caused error in xvc init: Fixed ✅
      - Caused error in updating gitignores: Fixed ✅
  - Error in recheck for existing paths: Fixed ✅
  - XvcCachePath returns a partial path for reporting
  - Change all PathBuf elements in XvcRoot to AbsolutePath

  - Delete cache files
  - Remove empty directories after untracking ✅
- Update book/src/start/from-dvc.md for xvc file untrack ✅
Restructure output channel to send/receive Option<XvcOutputLine> instead of XvcOutputLine

Add xvc file remove command
- Add RemoveCLI and the command dispatcher ✅
- Implemented remove for local cache
  - Implement --all-versions
  - Implement --only-version
- Implement --from-remote
- Implement XvcStorageOperations::delete for all storage types
Update xvc-test-helper generate-random-file and create-directory-tree to receive random seed
Update xvc storage new local ref page to include examples

xvc-test-helper binary is not produced at builds
- Moved it from dev-dependencies to dependencies in workflow_tests/Cargo.toml
  - Still doesn't work 🛑
  - We need binary dependencies in cargo: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3028-cargo-binary-dependencies.html,
  - It's available in nightly: rust-lang/cargo#9096
  - Revert to dev-dependencies
- z_test_docs fails immediately if no xvc-test-helper binary is found.
- Run the tests without -p workflow_tests
  - Hypothesis: The reason the test helper binary is not produced is that we run only workflow_tests crate.
  - Looks this hypothesis is not correct.
- The best way seems to be adding
  https://docs.rs/escargot/latest/escargot/ and building the binary before
  the doc tests.
  - Now builds the binary before running the doc tests. ✅
Write pipelines code documentation #88
Add xvc file copy command
- Issue: #179
- PR: #206
- Create the user interface
  - Add copy to XvcFileCLI
  - Created CopyCLI
- Write the documentation and doc tests:
  - Write initial examples: book/src/ref/xvc-file-copy.md
  - Create a fixture directory xvc-file-copy.in
- Implement the command
  - Select source
  - Select destination
    - Do we store directories with trailing / or not❓
      - Write tests for consistency
        
        Added test_xvc_path_naming proptests and modified XvcPath
        constructor to accept absolute paths conditionally. ✅
      - We don't store directories with trailing / ℹ️
    - Create destination XvcPaths ✅
      - Add join function to XvcPath ✅
    - Create destination cache type, metadata, digest, text-or-binary ✅
    - Should we create destination directory records❓
      - It's better to create them to update gitignore files. ✅
    - Update gitignore files in destinations
      - Use update_dir_gitignore for new directories and update_file_gitignore for new files.
      - Move gitignore functions from track/mod.rs to common/gitignore.rs
        
        Gitignore handling is actually a recheck sub-operation.
        
        Git doesn't mind if we don't create anything in the workspace.
        
        We should update gitignores in recheck, but how can we do that for
        directories that may contain non-tracked files❓
        
        While creating files and parent directories we can update gitignores
        in the parent directories.
        
        If a directory is not already ignored in creation, we can create a gitignore with a single line * to ignore all files.
        
        After all files are rechecked, we can check whether they are not ignored by Git, and update necessary gitignores.
      - Create an IgnoreWriter system with crossbeam_channels
        
        The channel will send/receive Option<IgnoreOperation> messages.
        
        If it receives a None message, it will stop and the collected
        dir/files will be written to ignore files.
        
        This pattern can be used for all operations.
    - Split targets_from_store to receive a store struct to filter. ✅
      - This is to prevent unnecessary reload in copy.
    - Convert former XvcRoot type to XvcRootInner and XvcRoot to Arc<XvcRootInner>
      - This is to pass the object to threads easily.
- Updated default format string for xvc file list
  - Moved name block to the end of the format string ✅
