The Mercurial 1.9 release is moving a lot of stuff around anyway and we are
already moving path_auditor from util.py to scmutil.py for that release.
So this seems like a good opportunity to do such a rename. It also strengthens
the current project policy to avoid underbars in names.
The two new methods are useful for quickly opening a file for reading
or writing. Unlike 'opener(...).read()', they ensure they the file is
immediately closed without relying on CPython reference counting.
On a case-sensitive file system, files can be added with names that differ
only in case (a "case collision"). This would cause an error on case-insensitive
filesystems. A warning or error is now given for such collisions, depending on
the value of ui.portablefilenames ('warn', 'abort', or 'ignore'):
$ touch file File
$ hg add --config ui.portablefilenames=abort File
abort: possible case-folding collision for File
$ hg add File
warning: possible case-folding collision for File
On POSIX platforms, the 'add', 'addremove', 'copy' and 'rename' commands now
warn if a file has a name that can't be checked out on Windows.
Example:
$ hg add con.xml
warning: filename contains 'con', which is reserved on Windows: 'con.xml'
$ hg status
A con.xml
The file is added despite the warning.
The warning is ON by default. It can be suppressed by setting the config option
'portablefilenames' in section 'ui' to 'ignore' or 'false':
$ hg --config ui.portablefilenames=ignore add con.xml
$ hg sta
A con.xml
If ui.portablefilenames is set to 'abort', then the command is aborted:
$ hg --config ui.portablefilenames=abort add con.xml
abort: filename contains 'con', which is reserved on Windows: 'con.xml'
On Windows, the ui.portablefilenames config setting is irrelevant and the
command is always aborted if a problematic filename is found.
