When this test was introduced, it used the short-form of all the flags
on this update invocation. I suspect, based on the "start with clean
dirstates" comment and the fact that the no-exec branch of the #if
guard leaves dirstate clean, that this should have been 'update -qCr'
instead of 'update -qcr', but that a bug in largefiles --check
handling left this problem unnoticed.
I'll leave a breadcrumb further up about the current failure mode in
the hopes that we can fix this some day.
This was previously discussed in [0] but the trail in that thread goes
cold after a few replies. Given that this is still a flaky test, that
appears to only be passing by bad fortune, I think it's worth
correcting the code of the test to make a correct assertion, and to
keep track of the suspected bug with some other mechanism than an
invalid test (if we had support for "expected failure" blocks this
might be a worthwhile use of them?).

I spent some time confused by this test. I'm pretty sure that this
line intends to be cleaning the dirstate, not checking that it's clean
before updating: the preceding #if block leaves the dirstate clean in
the noexec case, and dirty in the exec case, so we can't expect
consistent behavior across that platform variation. A subsequent patch
will modify this command to use --clean instead of --check.
I'll elaborate in that patch about the hypothetical bug here.
Work around that 'dm' in the data model only can have one operation for the
target file, but still can have multiple and conflicting operations on the
source file where the other operation is a 'rm'. The move would thus fail with
'abort: No such file or directory'.
In this case it is "obvious" that the file should be removed, either before or
after moving it. We thus keep the 'rm' of the source file but drop the 'dm'.
This is not a pretty fix but quite "obviously" safe (famous last words...) as
it only touches a rare code path that used to crash. It is possible that it
would be better to swap the files for 'dm' as suggested on
https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5020#c13 but it is not entirely
obvious that it not just would create conflicts on the other file. That can be
revisited later.
dict.keys() is documented to return a copy, so it's surprising that
sortdict.keys() did not. I noticed this because we have an extension
that calls readlocaltags(). That method tries to remove any tags that
point to non-existent revisions (most likely stripped). However, since
it's unintentionally working on the instance it's modifying, it
sometimes fails to remove tags when there are multiple bad tags in a
row. This was not caught because localrepo.tags() does an additional
layer of filtering.
sortdict is also used in other places, but I have not checked whether
its keys() and/or __delitem__() methods are used there.
GNU grep, when emitting a matching line that doesn't have a terminating
newline, will add an extra newline. Solaris grep passes the original line
through without the newline. This causes differences in test output when
looking at the last line of the output of get-with-headers.py, which
doesn't usually emit (and certainly doesn't guarantee) a terminating
newline.
Both grep implementations succeed in matching the requested pattern,
though, so rely on specifying the full pattern on grep's commandline
instead of expecting it in the output, and send the output to /dev/null.
I've seen this in a (misconfigured) FreeBSD jail which has ::1 as an
entry for localhost, but IPv6 support is disabled in the jail. It took
me months to figure out what was going on (and I only figured it out
when tinyproxy.py got confused by similar IPv4-level misconfiguration
of the localhost domain in /etc/hosts.)
I don't feel strongly about this patch: on the one hand, it's papering
over a host-level misconfiguration, but on the other it avoids some
weird and hard to diagnose problems that can occur in weirdly
restricted environments.
outgoing() and remote() may stall for long due to network I/O, which seems
unsafe per definition, "whether a predicate is safe for DoS attack." But I'm
not 100% sure about this. If our concern isn't elapsed time but CPU resource,
these predicates are considered safe. Perhaps that would be up to the
web/application server configuration?
Anyway, outgoing() and remote() wouldn't be useful in hgweb, so I think
it's okay to ban them.
Only FreeBSD seems to be this picky. Note that this explicit
absolute-path `cd` exposes a defect in the test, in that we end up
still inside the cwd-vanish repository, but that's not a regression in
this change. Since we're in a code freeze, I'm doing the smallest
thing possible to try and fix bugs on FreeBSD, rather than cleaning up
the entire problem. I'll follow up with a more complete fix after the
freeze.
We've made chg utilize the common code path implemented in pager.py (by
e8fb65f5e551 and e97133c7a9dc), but the chg server does not always start
with a tty. Because of this, uisetup() of the pager extension could be
skipped on the chg server.
Kudos given to Sean Farley for dogfooding new chg and spotting this problem.
This patch makes it possible to unshelve while having missing files
in your repo as long as shelved changes don't touch those missing files.
It also makes error message better otherwise.
statprof has a __main__ handler that allows viewing of previously
written data files. As Yuya pointed out during review, 82ee01726a77
broke this. This patch fixes that.
Until callsites are updated, this will have no effect. Once callsites
are updated, specifying experimental.editortmpinhg will create editor
temporary files in a subdirectory of .hg, which will make it easier
for tool integrations to determine what repository is in play when
they're asked to edit an hg-related file.
Care needs to be taken to prevent leaking potentially sensitive environment
variables through hgweb, if template support for environment variables is to be
introduced. There are a few ideas about the API for preventing accidental
leaking [1]. Option 3 seems best from the POV of not needing to configure
anything in the normal case. I couldn't figure out how to do that, so guard it
with an experimental option for now.

This is a cherry pick of an upstream fix. The free() of uninitialed
memory could likely only occur if a malloc() inside zstd fails.
The patched functions aren't currently used by Mercurial. But I don't
like leaving footguns sitting around.
Narrowhg has been using "1 << 14" as its revlog flag value for a long
time. We (Google) have many repos with that value in production
already. When the same value was reserved for EXTSTORED, it made those
repos invalid. Upgrading them will be a little painful. We should
clearly have reserved the value for narrowhg a long time ago. Since
the EXTSTORED flag is not yet in any release and Facebook also says
they have not started using it in production, so it should be okay to
change it. This patch gives the current value (1 << 14) back to
narrowhg and gives a new value (1 << 13) to EXTSTORED.
Before this change, the text about revlog flags was reflowed into a
single paragraph, which made it a bit hard to read. I don't even know
the rules around this, but adding a blank line before each flag seems
to prevent the reflowing.
Before this patch, there was a single way to see multiple shelves using
`--patch --list` which show all the shelves. Doing `--patch s1 s2` returns an
error. This patch allows to show multiple shelves using `--patch` and `--stat`.
Commit 63c68d6f5fc8de4afd9bde81b13b537beb4e47e8 from
https://github.com/indygreg/python-zstandard is imported without
modifications (other than removing unwanted files).
This includes minor performance and feature improvements. It also
changes the vendored zstd library from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2.

util.buffer() either returns inbuilt buffer function or defines a new one which
slices. The inbuilt buffer() also has a length argument which is missing from
the ones we defined. This patch adds that length argument.
pycompat.getenv returns os.getenvb on py3 which is not available on Windows.
This patch replaces them with encoding.environ.get and checks to ensure no
new instances of os.getenv or os.setenv are introduced.
The final part of integrating the compression manager APIs into
revlog storage is the plumbing for repositories to advertise they
are using non-zlib storage and for revlogs to instantiate a non-zlib
compression engine.
The main intent of the compression manager work was to zstd all
of the things. Adding zstd to revlogs has proved to be more involved
than other places because revlogs are... special. Very small inputs
and the use of delta chains (which are themselves a form of
compression) are a completely different use case from streaming
compression, which bundles and the wire protocol employ. I've
conducted numerous experiments with zstd in revlogs and have yet
to formalize compression settings and a storage architecture that
I'm confident I won't regret later. In other words, I'm not yet
ready to commit to a new mechanism for using zstd - or any other
compression format - in revlogs.
That being said, having some support for zstd (and other compression
formats) in revlogs in core is beneficial. It can allow others to
conduct experiments.
This patch introduces *highly experimental* support for non-zlib
compression formats in revlogs. Introduced is a config option to
control which compression engine to use. Also introduced is a namespace
of "exp-compression-*" requirements to denote support for non-zlib
compression in revlogs. I've prefixed the namespace with "exp-"
(short for "experimental") because I'm not confident of the
requirements "schema" and in no way want to give the illusion of
supporting these requirements in the future. I fully intend to drop
support for these requirements once we figure out what we're doing
with zstd in revlogs.
A good portion of the patch is teaching the requirements system
about registered compression engines and passing the requested
compression engine as an opener option so revlogs can instantiate
the proper compression engine for new operations.
That's a verbose way of saying "we can now use zstd in revlogs!"
On an `hg pull` conversion of the mozilla-unified repo with no extra
redelta settings (like aggressivemergedeltas), we can see the impact
of zstd vs zlib in revlogs:

Only modest wins for the changelog. But manifest reading is
significantly faster. What's going on?
One reason might be data volume. zstd decompresses faster. So given
more bytes, it will put more distance between it and zlib.
Another reason is size. In the current design, zstd revlogs are
*larger*:
debugcreatestreamclonebundle (size in bytes)
zlib: 1,638,852,492
zstd: 1,680,601,332
I haven't investigated this fully, but I reckon a significant cause of
larger revlogs is that the zstd frame/header has more bytes than
zlib's. For very small inputs or data that doesn't compress well, we'll
tend to store more uncompressed chunks than with zlib (because the
compressed size isn't smaller than original). This will make revlog
reading faster because it is doing less decompression.
Moving on to bundle performance:
$ hg bundle -a -t none-v2 (total CPU time)
zlib: 102.79s
zstd: 97.75s
So, marginal CPU decrease for reading all chunks in all revlogs
(this is somewhat disappointing).
$ hg bundle -a -t <engine>-v2 (total CPU time)
zlib: 191.59s
zstd: 115.36s
This last test effectively measures the difference between zlib->zlib
and zstd->zstd for revlogs to bundle. This is a rough approximation of
what a server does during `hg clone`.
There are some promising results for zstd. But not enough for me to
feel comfortable advertising it to users. We'll get there...
Now that compression engines declare their header in revlog chunks
and can decompress revlog chunks, we refactor revlog.decompress()
to use them.
Making full use of the property that revlog compressor objects are
reusable, revlog instances now maintain a dict mapping an engine's
revlog header to a compressor object. This is not only a performance
optimization for engines where compressor object reuse can result in
better performance, but it also serves as a cache of header values
so we don't need to perform redundant lookups against the compression
engine manager. (Yes, I measured and the overhead of a function call
versus a dict lookup was observed.)
Replacing the previous inline lookup table with a dict lookup was
measured to make chunk reading ~2.5% slower on changelogs and ~4.5%
slower on manifests. So, the inline lookup table has been mostly
preserved so we don't lose performance. This is unfortunate. But
many decompression operations complete in microseconds, so Python
attribute lookup, dict lookup, and function calls do matter.
The impact of this change on mozilla-unified is as follows:
$ hg perfrevlogchunks -c
! chunk
! wall 1.953663 comb 1.950000 user 1.920000 sys 0.030000 (best of 6)

Changelog chunk reading is slightly faster but manifest reading is
slower. What gives?
On this repo, 99.85% of changelog entries are zlib compressed (the 'x'
header). On the manifest, 67.5% are zlib and 32.4% are '\0'. This patch
swapped the test order of 'x' and '\0' so now 'x' is tested first. This
makes changelogs faster since they almost always hit the first branch.
This makes a significant percentage of manifest '\0' chunks slower
because that code path now performs an extra test. Yes, I too can't
believe we're able to measure the impact of an if..elif with simple
string compares. I reckon this code would benefit from being written
in C...
There's no apparent reason to have this "entries" generator function that
builds a list and then yields its elements in reverse order and which is only
called to build the "entries" list. So just build the list directly, in
reverse order.
Adjust "parity" generator's offset to keep rendering the same.
readline() returns '' only when EOF is encountered, in which case, Python's
getpass() raises EOFError. We should do the same to abort the session as
"response expected."
This bug was reported to
https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issues/4659/
When converting a Git repository to Mercurial at Mozilla, I encountered
a scenario where I didn't want `hg convert` to automatically add the
"committer: <committer>" line to commit messages. While I can hack around
this by rewriting the Git commit before it is fed into `hg convert`,
I figured it would be a useful knob to control.
This patch introduces a config option that allows lots of control
over the committer value. I initially implemented this as a single
boolean flag to control whether to save the committer message. But
then there was feedback that it would be useful to save the committer
in extra data. While this patch doesn't implement support for saving
in extra data, it does add a mechanism for extending which actions
to take on the committer field. We should be able to easily add
actions to save in extra data.
Some of the implemented features weren't asked for. But I figured they
could be useful. If nothing else they demonstrate the extensibility
of this mechanism.
The result of diffstatdata should not depend on having noprefix set or not, as
was reported in issue 4755. Forcing noprefix to false on call makes sure the
parser receives the diff in the correct format and returns the proper result.
Another way to fix this would have been to change the regular expressions in
path.diffstatdata(), but that would have introduced many unecessary special
cases.
Module-level @cachefunc usage is risky because it can easily create a
memory "leak". Let's reject it completely for now. If a valid usage
comes up in the future, we can always improve the check or reconsider.
