'hg import' fails under Python 2.3. The name of the compare function parameter in the call to list.sort() is 'cmpfunc' in Python 2.3 and
'cmp' in Python 2.4+. Passing the compare function as a named parameter is therefore problematic.
If paths are supplied but resolve to nothing, localrepo.commit() is called with an empty set and commits the whole dirstate. Avoid this by passing the match function to commit.
Standard streams are expected to operate in binary mode everywhere, especially with archive, cat, diff and export commands. Rewriting these to separate informational output from binary content is complicated to do and to maintain, nonwithstanding mode switching reliability. Changing all output mode to binary should not have much impact on Windows were stream processing tools are barely used and usually cope with unix style endings.
Streams mode being process wide, the switch is performed in the startup script to avoid polluting existing API users who may have solved this issue already or ignored it at least for the mercurial part.
Part of test-tags was modified just to be sure this works.
The change in test-archive-symlinks is necessary to avoid a "helpful"
warning from GNU tar ("implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 00:00:00").
This should give the user a better hint of what's going wrong.
Improve some error messages. In particular, mention "CVS checkout" instead
of "CVS repo".
Fixes issue822 and issue826.
Relying on the exact return of statwalk would cause us to abort
when there was at least one tracked file inside an ignored directory.
This patch forces an extra walk of the whole working directory even
on sane filesystems, where it wouldn't be needed.
Fixes issue621.
Workaround for dir-changed-to-file updates mentioned
in rev c3f3393b9096 doesn't actually work since tests
introduced in mentioned changeset prevented dirstate
updates even if working directory updates succeded.
Make tests more relaxed for dirstate operations
not directly accessible from cli. See also issue660.
While here, move _dirs existance check from _decpath()
to _changepath() for unification.
Git's gitk and Mercurial's hgk have diverged enough that their configuration information is no longer entirely compatible. Whenever I run one, the other gets reset to the default screen position. This patch changes hgk to store and read its configuration from ".hgk" instead of ".gitk", so as not to conflict with the "real" gitk anymore.
