str(url) was recently changed to return only file:/. However, the
canonical way to represent absolute local paths is file:/// [1], which
is also expected by at least hgsubversion.
Relative paths are returned as file:the/relative/path.

The ui class uses util.hasscheme() in a couple of places, causing hg
to import urllib even when it doesn't need to. This copies
urllib.unquote() to avoid that import.

The introduction of the new URL parsing code has created a startup
time regression. This is mainly due to the use of url.hasscheme() in
the ui class. It ends up importing many libraries that the url module
requires.
This fix helps marginally, but if we can get rid of the urllib import
in the URL parser all together, startup time will go back to normal.

The problem is that a programmer using atomictempfile directly can
make an innocent everyday mistake -- not enough args to the
constructor -- which escalates badly. You would expect a simple
TypeError crash in that case, but you actually get an infinite
recursion that is surprisingly difficult to kill: it happens between
__del__() and __getattr__(), and Python does not handle infinite
recursion from __del__() well.
The fix is to not implement __getattr__(), but instead assign instance
attributes for the methods we wish to delegate to the builtin file
type: write() and fileno(). I've audited mercurial.* and hgext.* and
found no users of atomictempfile using methods other than write() and
rename(). I audited third-party extensions and found one (snap)
passing an atomictempfile to util.fstat(), so I also threw in
fileno().
The last time I submitted a similar patch, Matt proposed that we make
atomictempfile a subclass of file instead of wrapping it. Rejected on
grounds of unnecessary complexity: for one thing, it would make the
Windows implementation of posixfile quite a bit more complex. It would
have to become a subclass of file rather than a simple function -- but
since it's written in C, this is non-obvious and non-trivial.
Furthermore, there's nothing wrong with wrapping objects and
delegating methods: it's a well-established pattern that works just
fine in many cases. Subclassing is not the answer to all of life's
problems.
path_auditor is used for checking patterns too, but a pattern is not a valid
filename.
This patch fixes fb1792e89e34, which introduced the bug:
$ hg log -l3 glob:**.py
abort: filename contains '*', which is reserved on Windows: mercurial\**.py
Example (on Windows):
$ hg parents
$ hg manifest tip
con.xml
$ hg update
abort: filename contains 'con', which is reserved on Windows: con.xml
Before this patch, update produced (as explained in issue2755):
$ hg update
abort: No usable temporary filename found
I've added the new function checkwinfilename to util.py and not to windows.py,
so that we can later call it when running on posix platforms too, for when we
decide to implement a (configurable) warning message on 'hg add'.
As per this patch, checkwinfilename is currently only used when running
on Windwows.
path_auditor calls checkosfilename, which is a NOP on posix and an alias for
checkwinfilename on Windows.
Python added support for Windows 6.0 (Vista) symbolic links in 3.2 [1], but
even these symbolic links aren't what we can expect from a canonical
symbolic link, since creation requires SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege,
which typically only admins have.
So we can safely assume that we don't have symbolic links on Windows.

The use of "{datetime}" was unfortunate since I as a user never knew
if I was expected to do
hg log -d '>{2011-04-01}'
or
hg log -d '>2011-04-01'
The word "datetime" is also confusing -- calling it a date it much
simpler.
This replaces util.drop_scheme() with url.localpath(), using url.url for
parsing instead of doing it on its own. The function is moved from
util to url to avoid an import cycle.
hg.localpath() is removed in favor of using url.localpath(). This
provides more consistent behavior between "hg clone" and other
commands.
To preserve backwards compatibility, URLs like bundle://../foo still
refer to ../foo, not /foo.
If a URL contains a scheme, percent-encoded entities are decoded. When
there's no scheme, all characters are left untouched.
Comparison of old and new behaviors:
URL drop_scheme() hg.localpath() url.localpath()
=== ============= ============== ===============
file://foo/foo /foo foo/foo /foo
file://localhost:80/foo /foo localhost:80/foo /foo
file://localhost:/foo /foo localhost:/foo /foo
file://localhost/foo /foo /foo /foo
file:///foo /foo /foo /foo
file://foo (empty string) foo /
file:/foo /foo /foo /foo
file:foo foo foo foo
file:foo%23bar foo%23bar foo%23bar foo#bar
foo%23bar foo%23bar foo%23bar foo%23bar
/foo /foo /foo /foo
Windows-related paths on Windows:
URL drop_scheme() hg.localpath() url.localpath()
=== ============= ============== ===============
file:///C:/foo C:/C:/foo /C:/foo C:/foo
file:///D:/foo C:/D:/foo /D:/foo D:/foo
file://C:/foo C:/foo C:/foo C:/foo

file:////foo/bar //foo/bar //foo/bar //foo/bar
//foo/bar //foo/bar //foo/bar //foo/bar
\\foo\bar //foo/bar //foo/bar \\foo\bar
Windows-related paths on other platforms:
file:///C:/foo C:/C:/foo /C:/foo C:/foo
file:///D:/foo C:/D:/foo /D:/foo D:/foo
file://C:/foo C:/foo C:/foo C:/foo
file://D:/foo C:/foo D:/foo D:/foo
file:////foo/bar //foo/bar //foo/bar //foo/bar

- issue1153: File URIs aren't handled correctly in windows
This patch should preserve the fix implemented in
5c92d05b064e. However, it goes a step further and "promotes"
Windows-style drive letters from being interpreted as host names to
being part of the path.
- issue2154: Cannot escape '#' in Mercurial URLs (#1172 in THG)
The fragment is still interpreted as a revision or a branch, even in
paths to bundles. However, when file: is used, percent-encoded
entities are decoded, so file:test%23bundle.hg can refer to
test#bundle.hg ond isk.
The previous test assumed that 'os.name' was "mac" on Mac OS X. This
is not the case; 'mac' was classic Mac OS, whereas Mac OS X has 'os.name'
be 'posix'.
Please note that this change will break Mercurial on hypothetical
non-Mac OS X deployments of Darwin.

Add missing calls to close() to many places where files are
opened. Relying on reference counting to catch them soon-ish is not
portable and fails in environments with a proper GC, such as PyPy.
The pywin32 package is no longer needed.
ctypes is now required for running Mercurial on Windows.
ctypes is included in Python since version 2.5. For Python 2.4, ctypes is
available as an extra installer package for Windows.
Moved spawndetached() from windows.py to win32.py and fixed it, using
ctypes as well. spawndetached was defunct with Python 2.6.6 because Python
removed their undocumented subprocess.CreateProcess. This fixes
'hg serve -d' on Windows.
