Empty lines in file view could produce an inexplicable margin before the next
line (most noticeable in browsers on webkit/blink engine). That was making
empty lines seem taller than the rest.
Instead of using default vertical align, let's set it to 'top'.
This issue is actually present in paper, and only recently got into gitweb
(0609781075c1) and monoblue (b7a7757577fb). There's a bit more to it in paper,
so that will be dealt with in a future patch.
Recipe to see live: preferably using a webkit/blink browser, such as chromium,
browse a file with empty lines, e.g. https://selenic.com/hg/file/3.5/README#l8
Selecting a block of text that includes empty lines will reveal white "breaks"
in the selection. Highlighted line (#l8) also shows such a break below itself.
This is adapted from a46863946982 and 8d7bff75072d.
It also fixes issue4790 in gitweb; tab characters now have meaningful width on
the modified pages (file view, file diff, changeset).
Adds new web command to the core, ``comparison``, which enables colorful
side-by-side change display, which for some might be much easier to work with
than the standard line diff output. The idea how to implement comes from the
SonicHq extension.
The web interface gets a new link to call the comparison functionality. It lets
users configure the amount of context lines around change blocks, or to show
full files - check help (also in this changeset) for details and defaults. The
setting in hgrc can be overridden by adding ``context=<value>`` to the request
query string. The comparison creates addressable lines, so as to enable sharing
links to specific lines, just as standard diff does.
Incorporates updates to all web related styles.
Known limitations:
* the column diff is done against the first parent, just as the standard diff
* this change allows examining diffs for single files only (as I am not sure if
examining the whole changeset in this way would be helpful)
* syntax highlighting of the output changes is not performed (enabling the
highlight extension has no influence on it)
The coal and paper web themes will highlight closed branches as a visual cue to
the user. This patch makes the other two themes constistent.
For users with difficulty differentiating colors, it would be better to split
out closed branches to a new table or optionally hide them.
Remove the `install_package_data' subclass of `install_data' and use
the `package_data' functionality provided by distutils instead. As
package data must be located within the package directory, the data
files are now generated in the build directory.
To simplify the functionality of this change, the top-level `doc' and
`templates' directories have been moved into the `mercurial' package
directory.
