cmdutil.command wasn't a member of the registrar framework only for a
historical reason. Let's make that happen. This patch keeps cmdutil.command
as an alias for extension compatibility.
Feature flag constants don't need "NG" in the name because they will
presumably apply to non-"NG" version revlogs.
All feature flag constants should also share a similar naming
convention to identify them as such.
And, "RevlogNG" isn't a great internal name since it isn't obvious it
maps to version 1 revlogs. Plus, "NG" (next generation) is only a good
name as long as it is the latest version. Since we're talking about
version 2, now is as good a time as any to move on from that naming.
I've caught multiple extensions in the wild lying about being
'internal', so it's time to move the goalposts on people. Goalpost
moving will continue until third party extensions stop trying to
defeat the system.
Before this patch, "hg censor" executes below:
- without acquisition of wlock, examine whether the working
directory refers the revision of the file to be censored or not
- without acquisition of store lock (slock), replace existing
filelog of file to be censored with censored one,
Replacement consists of steps below, and it is assumed that the
destination filelog at (1) isn't changed before renaming at (3).
1. read existing filelog in
2. write filelog entries (both censored and not) into temporary file
3. rename from temporary file to existing filelog to be censored
It may cause unintentional result, if another command runs parallelly
(see also issue4368).
This patch makes "hg censor" acquire wlock and slock before
processing.
The home of 'Abort' is 'error' not 'util' however, a lot of code seems to be
confused about that and gives all the credit to 'util' instead of the
hardworking 'error'. In a spirit of equity, we break the cycle of injustice and
give back to 'error' the respect it deserves. And screw that 'util' poser.
For great justice.
Before this patch, censored file should be exactly "a path relative to
repository root" regardless of current working directory, because "hg
censor" passes "path" to "repo.file()" directly without any
preparations.
To make various path forms available like other Mercurial commands,
this patch gets a target file path in the way of "hg parents FILE".
Getting "wctx" is relocated to reuse "wctx" for efficiency.
Python 2.6 introduced the "except type as instance" syntax, replacing
the "except type, instance" syntax that came before. Python 3 dropped
support for the latter syntax. Since we no longer support Python 2.4 or
2.5, we have no need to continue supporting the "except type, instance".
This patch mass rewrites the exception syntax to be Python 2.6+ and
Python 3 compatible.
This patch was produced by running `2to3 -f except -w -n .`.
Extension authors (notably at companies using hg) have been
cargo-culting the `testedwith = 'internal'` bit from hg's own
extensions, which then defeats our "file bugs over here" logic in
dispatch. Let's be more aggressive about trying to give extension
authors a hint about what testedwith should say.
According to recent "filectx.data()" implementation, "censor.policy"
should be configured as "ignore" to ignore error at censored file:
"censor.allow" seems outdated name.
The censor command is a core extension which can replace the contents of a
historical file revision with a censor "tombstone" which can be exchanged
with older clients in place of the real revision data. The command rewrites
the filelog by copying revision-by-revision.
Care must be taken to expand the fulltext of the children of the censored
revision before copying them to the new filelog; they might be stored as
deltas against the uncensored revision, and those deltas will be invalidated.
