We already have multiple call function for multiple return type. The
`_decompress` function is only used for http and seems like a layer violation.
We drop it in favor of a new call type dedicated to "stream that may be useful to
compress".
Pre-0.6c hgweb used text/plain for protocol responses. This meant
that a web server could serve a static file and confuse a client into
generating a nasty traceback.
Now we insist that text/plain protocol responses not include a
Content-Length, which older hgweb didn't generate but will typically
be produced for static files.
When we don't get an hgweb protocol response, we dump the response to
the user for diagnostic purposes (it might be a cgitb message, for
instance).
But if we try to clone a bundle, we don't want to show the
entire bundle in the error message. Also, we don't want fetch the
full bundle multiple times during fallback. So we only fetch 1k here.
This change separates peer implementations from the repository implementation.
localpeer currently is a simple pass-through to localrepository, except for
legacy calls, which have already been removed from localpeer. This ensures that
the local client code only uses the most modern peer API when talking to local
repos.
Peers have a .local() method which returns either None or the underlying
localrepository (or descendant thereof). Repos have a .peer() method to return
a freshly constructed localpeer. The latter is used by hg.peer(), and also to
allow folks to pass either a peer or a repo to some generic helper methods.
We might want to get rid of .peer() eventually.
The only user of locallegacypeer is debugdiscovery, which uses it to pose as a
pre-setdiscovery client. But we decided to leave the old API defined in
locallegacypeer for clarity and maybe for other uses in the future.
It might be nice to actually define the peer API directly in peer.py as stub
methods. One problem there is, however, that localpeer implements
lock/addchangegroup, whereas the true remote peers implement unbundle.
It might be desireable to get rid of this distinction eventually.
