Extension authors (notably at companies using hg) have been
cargo-culting the `testedwith = 'internal'` bit from hg's own
extensions, which then defeats our "file bugs over here" logic in
dispatch. Let's be more aggressive about trying to give extension
authors a hint about what testedwith should say.
Although Python supports `X = Y if COND else Z`, this was only
introduced in Python 2.5. Since we have to support Python 2.4, it was
a very common thing to write instead `X = COND and Y or Z`, which is a
bit obscure at a glance. It requires some intricate knowledge of
Python to understand how to parse these one-liners.
We change instead all of these one-liners to 4-liners. This was
executed with the following perlism:
find -name "*.py" -exec perl -pi -e 's,(\s*)([\.\w]+) = \(?(\S+)\s+and\s+(\S*)\)?\s+or\s+(\S*)$,$1if $3:\n$1 $2 = $4\n$1else:\n$1 $2 = $5,' {} \;
I tweaked the following cases from the automatic Perl output:
prev = (parents and parents[0]) or nullid
port = (use_ssl and 443 or 80)
cwd = (pats and repo.getcwd()) or ''
rename = fctx and webutil.renamelink(fctx) or []
ctx = fctx and fctx or ctx
self.base = (mapfile and os.path.dirname(mapfile)) or ''
I also added some newlines wherever they seemd appropriate for readability
There are probably a few ersatz ternary operators still in the code
somewhere, lurking away from the power of a simple regex.
Trying as much as possible to consistently:
- use a present tense predicate followed by a direct object
- verb referring directly to the functionality provided
(ie. not "add command that does this" but simple "do that")
- keep simple and to the point, leaving details for the long help
(width is tight, possibly even more so for translations)
Thanks to timeless, Martin Geisler, Rafael Villar Burke, Dan Villiom
Podlaski Christiansen and others for the helpful suggestions.
