In spite of its longstanding use, Python's built-in atexit code is
not suitable for Mercurial's purposes, for several reasons:
* Handlers run after application code has finished.
* Because of this, the code that runs handlers swallows exceptions
(since there's no possible stacktrace to associate errors with).
If we're lucky, we'll get something spat out to stderr (if stderr
still works), which of course isn't any use in a big deployment
where it's important that exceptions get logged and aggregated.
* Mercurial's current atexit handlers make unfortunate assumptions
about process state (specifically stdio) that, coupled with the
above problems, make it impossible to deal with certain categories
of error (try "hg status > /dev/full" on a Linux box).
* In Python 3, the atexit implementation is completely hidden, so
we can't hijack the platform's atexit code to run handlers at a
time of our choosing.
As a result, here's a perfectly cromulent atexit-like implementation
over which we have control. This lets us decide exactly when the
handlers run (after each request has completed), and control what
the process state is when that occurs (and afterwards).
In the initial implementation of blockdescendants (and thus followlines(...,
descend=True) revset), only the first branch encountered in descending
direction was followed.
Update the algorithm so that all children of a revision ('x' in code) are
considered. Accordingly, we need to prevent a child revision to be yielded
multiple times when it gets visited through different path, so we skip 'i'
when this occurs. Finally, since we now consider all parents of a possible
child touching a given line range, we take care of yielding the child if it
has a diff in specified line range with at least one of its parent (same logic
as blockancestors()).
Our current deprecation warning mechanism relies on ui object. They are case
where we cannot have access to the UI object. On a general basis we avoid using
the python mechanism for deprecation warning because up to Python 2.6 it is
exposing warning to unsuspecting user who cannot do anything to deal with them.
So we build a "safe" strategy to hide this warnings behind a flag in an
environment variable. The test runner set this flag so that tests show these
warning. This will help us marker API as deprecated for extensions to update
their code.
Mostly copy CSS rules from style-paper.css into style-gitweb.css. The only
modification is addition of !important on "background-color" rule for
"pre.sourcelines > span.followlines-selected" selector as the background color
is otherwise overriden by "pre.sourcelines.stripes > :nth-child(4n+4)" rule.
As for paper style, in d9b8811bed4a, we display "diff" data as an additional
row in the table of revision entries for the gitweb template.
Also, as these additional diff rows have a white background, they may be
confused with log entry rows ("age", "author", "description", "links") of even
parity (parity0 also have a white background). So we disable parity colors for
log entry rows when diff is displayed and fix the color to the
"dark" parity (i.e. parity1 #f6f6f0) so that it's always distinguishable from
As for paper style, in a58e79a03a6e, we display a "(following lines
<fromline>:<toline> <a href='...'>back to filelog</a>)" message alongside the
file name when "linerange" query parameter is present.
This is the beginning of a wip/smartlog view. It is basically a manually
constructed (read: fast) revset function to collect "relevant"
changesets combined with a custom template and a graph displayer.
It obviously needs a lot of work.
I'd like to get *something* usable in 4.2 so `hg show` has some value
to end-users.
Let the bikeshedding begin.
We change the content of the followlines popup to display two links inviting
to follow the history of selected lines in ascending (as before) and
descending directions. The popup now renders as:
follow history of lines <fromline>:<toline>:
<a href=...>ascending</a> / <a href=...>descending</a>
When this "descend" query parameter is present along with "linerange"
parameter, we get revisions following line range in descending order. The
parameter has no effect without "linerange".
This is useful to follow changes in a block of lines forward in the history
(for instance, when one wants to find out how a function evolved from a point
in history).
We added a 'descend' parameter to followlines(), which defaults to False. If
True, followlines() returns descendants of startrev.
Because context.blockdescendants() does not follow renames, these are not
followed by the revset either, so history will end when a rename occurs (as
can be seen in tests).
This is symmetrical with blockancestors() and yields descendants of a filectx
with changes in the given line range. The noticeable difference is that the
algorithm does not follow renames (probably because filelog.descendants() does
not), so we are missing branches with renames.
Mercurial can't currently send cookies as part of HTTP requests.
Some authentication systems use cookies. So, it seems like adding
support for sending cookies seems like a useful feature.
This patch implements support for reading cookies from a file
and automatically sending them as part of the request. We rely
on the "cookiejar" Python module to do the heavy lifting of
parsing cookies files. We currently only support the Mozilla
(really Netscape-era) cookie format. There is another format
supported by cookielib and we may want to consider using that,
especially since the Netscape cookie parser can't parse ports.
It wasn't immediately obvious to me what the format of the other
parser is, so I didn't know how to test it. I /think/ it might
be literal "Cookie" header values, but I'm not sure. If it is
more robust than the Netscape format, we may want to just
support it.
There are some setup and cleanup necessary around the main code, that
setup/cleanup code needs multiple adjustments so we extract the core code into
its own function first for clarity.
Like field init shorthand of Rust. This is convenient for building a JSON
object from selected keywords.
This means dict() won't support Python-like dict(iterable) syntax because
it's ambiguous. Perhaps it could be implemented as 'mapdict(xs % (k, v))'.
Before, it could spill an internal representation of compiled template such
as [(<function runsymbol at 0x....>, 'extras'), ...]. Show less cryptic
message if no symbol found.
New findsymbolicname() function will be also used by dict() constructor.
This is convenient for new template keyword, which doesn't need to support
the legacy list hack (provided by _showlist()), but still wants to have
a string representation.
This makes the next patch slightly simpler. We don't need to check the
excessive number of keyword arguments since unknown and duplicated kwargs
are rejected.
Through the code, we use a mix of 'improvement' object and string. Having a
single type would be simpler. For this we need the object to be comparable.
This sounds like higher level logic to process arguments.
Moving it out of 'determineactions' will allow passing only deficiencies to the
function. Then, in a future changeset, we will remove dispatch on "improvement
type" within the function. See next changeset for details.
Since we already have the list of optimisations independent from the
deficiencies, we can use it directly.
(we make a dual assignement in this changeset to simplify the next one)
Our ultimate goal is to make it easier to get a diagnostic of the repository
format. A first important and step for that is to separate part related to
repository format from the optimisation. We start by having two different
functions returning the two categories of possible "improvement".
I stumbled into this in the next patch. The difference between getting a
context manager capable object or not from vfs classes was as subtle as adding a
'+' to the file mode.
These methods are unrelated to unpacking. They are used internally by the
'unbundlepart' class only. So me move them there as private methods.
In the same go, we clarify their internal role in the their docstring.
