The file-based synchronization introduced by 670de588e29e hangs when the child
process fails before terminating the handshake, which the previous pipe-based
version handled correctly. To fix this, the parent polling loop was fixed to
detect premature terminations of the child process.
Hiding the child process window is not strictly necessary but it avoids opening
an empty shell window when running hg serve as well as a task in the task bar.
The window is hidden after the process is already started causing a single
flicker.
On Windows, Mercurial can be run from the python script of from a frozen
executable. In the first case, we have to call the python interpreter since the
script is not executable. Frozen executable can be called directly.
Fix 3/3 for issue421
The fact that a parent process spawns a daemon does not necessarily means that
it is the only think it has to do. This was forcing since e8efd88001e7 inotify
processes launched implicitely to exit prematurely:
when no inotify server was running, "hg st" for example would only launch a
inotify server, _exit(0) and thus would not return file statuses.
This changeset adds a test for implicitely launched inotify processes.
Change to output of test-inotify-1208 is correct: it reflects the normal
error message of "hg st" when not dying during "hg inserve" daemon creation.
- use ctx.branch() instead of directly accessing the extra field "branch"
- move definitions of locals ('extra' and 'branch') down to where they
are used
This allows extensions that modify changeset metadata (e.g.
description) by overriding methods of changectx to get consistent
behavior from all log-like commands, regardless of whether templates
or styles are used. Without this, overriding changectx methods works
if you use styles or templates, but not with default log format.
This meant adding filectx.extra() for consistency with changectx.
This can be used for referring to revisions in a reasonable
meaningful, stable and monotonically increasing way, suitable for
releases or builds directly from a repository.
The latest tag is found by searching through untagged ancestors and
finding the latest tagged ancestor based on tag date. The distance is
found from the length of the longest path to the tagged revision.
For example:
hg log -l1 --template '{latesttag}+{latesttagdistance}\n'
can return
1.3.1+197

On Windows, Mercurial tries to glob expand provided filenames as a
convenience to the user. Unfortunately, there are valid filenames
which are not valid glob patterns. In those cases, we should fallback
to the original provided filename.
