The standard reaction in from of unexpected vimdiff is to ":quit". This will
make vimdiff return a 0 status even if no merge were done at all.
This change detect that nothing have been changed in vimdiff as a potential
unresolved conflict.
The test used 'echo' to test '!' style aliases. On Windows 'echo' is handled
by cmd and thus behaves very differently from the 'normal' echo command.
The simple workaround used here for using the same alias on all platforms
is to use 'printf' instead. Msys 'printf' will also handle sh quoting and
escaping in cmd.
Environment variable expansion with sh syntax is handled by launching sh.
Accepting a variable number of arguments as the old API did is
deeply ugly, particularly as it means the API can't be extended
with new arguments. Partly as a result, we have at least three
different implementations of the same ancestors algorithm (!?).
Most callers were forced to call ancestors(*somelist), adding to
both inefficiency and ugliness.
Allows you to restrict a ssh key to have read-only access to a set of
repos by passing the --read-only flag to hg-ssh.
This is useful in an environment where the number of unix users you
can or are willing to create is limited. In such an environment,
multiple users or applications will share a single unix account. Some
of those applications will likely need read-only access to the
repository. This change makes it possible to grant them such access
without requiring that they use a separate unix account.
I sometimes look at a piece of software and if the man page says
"Copyright 2004", then I'm inclined to think that the project is stale
or that the authors are lazy. Neither is good publicity for us :-)
There is no need to use entropy here just to create some content that only will
be used for hashing and ignored.
This avoids a problem where dd from /dev/urandom on solaris generates too short
output.
This greatly speeds up node->rev lookups, with results that are
often user-perceptible: for instance, "hg --time log" of the node
associated with rev 1000 on a linux-2.6 repo improves from 0.3
seconds to 0.03. I have not found any instances of slowdowns.
The new perfnodelookup command in contrib/perf.py demonstrates the
speedup more dramatically, since it performs no I/O. For a single
lookup, the new code is about 40x faster.
These changes also prepare the ground for the possibility of further
improving the performance of prefix-based node lookups.
test-hup hangs on AIX. Under ksh89 on AIX (the default shell),
echo Hello; while [ ! -s not-there ]; do true; done
produces no output while the loop executes. Replacing 'true' with 'sleep 0'
fixes, as does using a less broken shell. ksh93 is fine.
Update check-code.py to look for this, and make same change in test-serve.t.
In fact test-serve works fine, probably because of additional commands between
echo and the loop, but that's a subtlety not easy to test for.
