Older clients will still print the provided error message and not much else:
over ssh, this will be each line prefixed with 'remote: ' in addition to an
"abort: unexpected response: '\n'"; over http, this will be the '---%<---'
banners in addition to the 'does not appear to be a repository' message.
Currently, clients with this patch will display 'abort: remote error:\n' and
the provided error text, but it is trivial to style the error text however is
deemed appropriate.
Before: hgweb made it possible to download file content with a content type
detected from the file extension. It would serve .html files as text/html and
could thus cause XSS vulnerabilities if the web site had any kind of session
authorization and the repository content wasn't fully trusted.
Now: all files default to "application/binary", which all important
browsers will refuse to treat as text/html. See the table here:

In the branches page, branches that are closed and are merged into another
branch are displayed as `inactive'. This patch changes that behaviour to
show these branches as `closed'.
For me, the `closed' attribute is more important than the `inactive'
attribute.
Branches that are not closed, and are merged into other branches will still
be shown as `inactive'.
Branches that are closed, and are not merged into other branches will still
be shown as `closed'.
This is the same message displayed at the end of the "diff --stat" command.
For example, "9 files changed, 1651 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)".
The webutil.diffstatgen function allows the diffstat data to be lazily
calculated only once and then re-used.
This allows the diffstat templates to link into the diff output. For example,
the URLs of the first three files within the diff are #l1.1, #l2.1, #l3.1.
The webutil.diffstat function now returns a diffstat template for each file
in the diff. It previously returned a template for each file returned by
ctx.files() which did not work well for merge changesets.
Remove the lambda used to wrap webutil.diffstat because:
- functions passed to the templater must accept keyword arguments
- webutil.diffstat is a generator, so already calculates the diffstat lazily
This reverts the changes made to a4067e29e29d after it was submitted to the
mailing list but before it was queued.
This includes all affected files, so it can be used for an extended view of
the files or as a replacement for the filenodelink and filenolink templates.
This change complements the existing web/logourl setting, and lets the user
customize the logo image that is shown on many of the hg server pages.
If this setting is not set, hglogo.png is used.
Send the command arguments in the HTTP headers. The command is still part
of the URL. If the server does not have the 'httpheader' capability, the
client will send the command arguments in the URL as it did previously.
Web servers typically allow more data to be placed within the headers than
in the URL, so this approach will:
- Avoid HTTP errors due to using a URL that is too large.
- Allow Mercurial to implement a more efficient wire protocol.
An alternate approach is to send the arguments as part of the request body.
This approach has been rejected because it requires the use of POST
requests, so it would break any existing configuration that relies on the
request type for authentication or caching.
Extensibility:
- The header size is provided by the server, which makes it possible to
introduce an hgrc setting for it.
- The client ignores the capability value after the first comma, which
allows more information to be included in the future.
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.
perfstartup time before the URL refactoring (707e4b1e8064):

current startup time (9ad1dce9e7f4):
! wall 0.070685 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (best of 100)

By default, hgweb_mod supports caching via the ETag header. This can
cause some confusion with browsers which cache aggressively. This change
preserves existing behavior while giving the administrator a knob to
disable the ETag header.
Clicking on the logo image/text in the hgweb interface brings the
user to the Mercurial project page. The majority of users expect that
this would bring them to the top level index. I have added a new template
variable named `logourl' which allows an administrator to change this
behavior. To stay compatible with existing behavior, `logourl' will
default to http://mercurial.selenic.com/. This change is very useful in
large installations where jumping to the index is common.
Repository() raises a number of IOErrors in addition to RepoErrors.
these are just as uninteresting as RepoErrors and should be ignored
The easiest case of this is a repo whose .hg/ directory is -rx
