For performance reasons we have several repositories where the files in the working
directory of 1 repo are hardlinks to the files of the other repo
When an update in one repo results in a chmod of a such a file, the hardlink
has to be deleted and replaced by a regular file to make sure that the change
does not happen in the other repo
In the unlucky case, checklink tries to make a new file for the
symlink test to target. If the filesystem is readonly (perhaps due to
permissions in a repo owned by someone else) we just report the
filesystem as not supporting symlinks, since the user probably can't
write anyway.
Previously, there were two slightly different versions of unlinkpath between
windows and posix, but these differences were eliminated in previous patches.
Now we can unify these two code paths inside of the util module.
We have a local reference to os.removedirs in module scope, but we still used
os.removedirs inside functions. This changes util to use the local reference,
which will pave the way for combining duplicated code in future patches.
We have a local reference to os.unlink in module scope, but we still used
os.unlink inside functions. This changes util to use the local reference,
which will pave the way for combining duplicated code in future patches.
select() is a notable example of syscalls which may fail with EINTR. If we
had a SIGWINCH handler installed, ssh would crash when the terminal window
was resized. This patch fixes the problem.
sys.platform returns unicode on python 3 world. Our code base has most of the
things bytes because of the transformer. So we have a bytes version of this as
pycompat.sysplatform. This series of 2 patches replaces occurences of
sys.platform with pycompat.sysplatform.
os.environ is a dictionary which has string elements on Python 3. We have
encoding.environ which take care of all these things. This is the first patch
of 5 patch series which tend to replace the occurences of os.environ with
encoding.environ as using os.environ will result in unusual behaviour.
os.pathsep returns unicode on Python 3. We already have pycompat.ospathsep
which return bytes on Python 3. This patch replaces all the occurrences of
os.pathsep in the codebase (excluding tests) to pycompat.ospathsep.
The NamedTemporaryFile file is cleared up so checklink ends up as a dangling
symlink, causing cp -r in tests to complain on both Solaris and OS X. Use
a permanent file instead when there is a .hg/cache directory.
util.checklink would create a symlink and remove it again. That would sometimes
happen multiple times. Write operations are relatively expensive and give disk
tear and noise for applications monitoring file system activity.
Instead of creating a symlink and deleting it again, just create it once and
leave it in .hg/cache/check-link . If the file exists, just verify that
os.islink reports true. We will assume that this check is as good as symlink
creation not failing.
Note: The symlink left in .hg/cache has to resolve to a file - otherwise 'make
dist' will fail ...
test-symlink-os-yes-fs-no.py does some monkey patching to simulate a platform
without symlink support. The slightly different testing method requires
additional monkeying.
This avoids unnecessary churn in the working directory.
It is not necessarily a fully valid assumption that .hg/cache is on the same
filesystem as the working directory, but I think it is an acceptable
approximation. It could also be the case that different parts of the working
directory is on different mount points so checking in the root folder could
also be wrong.
Before, Mercurial would create a new temporary file every time, stat it, change
its exec mode, stat it again, and delete it. Most of this dance was done to
handle the rare and not-so-essential case of VFAT mounts on unix. The cost of
that was paid by the much more common and important case of using normal file
systems.
Instead, try to create and preserve .hg/cache/checkisexec and
.hg/cache/checknoexec with and without exec flag set. If the files exist and
have correct exec flags set, we can conclude that that file system supports the
exec flag. Best case, the whole exec check can thus be done with two stat
calls. Worst case, we delete the wrong files and check as usual. That will be
because temporary loss of exec bit or on file systems without support for the
exec bit. In that case we check as we did before, with the additional overhead
of one extra stat call.
It is possible that this different test algorithm in some cases on odd file
systems will give different behaviour. Again, I think it will be rare and
special cases and I think it is worth the risk.
test-clone.t happens to show the situation where checkisexec is left behind
from the old style check, while checknoexec only will be created next time a
exec check will be performed.
Use a slightly simpler logic that in some cases can avoid an unnecessary chmod
and stat.
Instead of flipping the X bits, make it more clear that we rely on no X bits
being set on initial file creation, and that at least some of them stick after
they all have been set.
This avoids unnecessary churn in the working directory.
It is not necessarily a fully valid assumption that .hg/cache is on the same
filesystem as the working directory, but I think it is an acceptable
approximation. It could also be the case that different parts of the working

also be wrong.
I'm going to get rid of sys.stderr|out|in references from posix.termwidth().
In order to do that, termwidth() needs to take a ui, but functions in util.py
shouldn't depend on a ui object. So moves termwidth() to scmutil.py.
Some platforms (see bug, notably a terminal emulator on Android) ship
with os.link removed from Python to try and cater to other tools that
expect os.link to exist iff hardlinks are supported on that
platform. As a workaround for this madness, include a fallback path
for when we're on a "posix" platform but lack os.link.
Multiple threads might attempt to check links with the same temporary
name. This would cause one side to get an EEXIST error and wrongly
fail the support check. Here, we simply retry if our temporary name
exists.
Python 2.6 introduced the "except type as instance" syntax, replacing
the "except type, instance" syntax that came before. Python 3 dropped
support for the latter syntax. Since we no longer support Python 2.4 or
2.5, we have no need to continue supporting the "except type, instance".
This patch mass rewrites the exception syntax to be Python 2.6+ and
Python 3 compatible.
This patch was produced by running `2to3 -f except -w -n .`.
Python 2.6 introduced a new octal syntax: "0oXXX", replacing "0XXX". The
old syntax is not recognized in Python 3 and will result in a parse
error.
Mass rewrite all instances of the old octal syntax to the new syntax.
This patch was generated by `2to3 -f numliterals -w -n .` and the diff
was selectively recorded to exclude changes to "<N>l" syntax conversion,
which will be handled separately.
We'll use it to detect when a sshpeer have server output to be displayed.
The implementation is super basic because all case support is not the focus of
this series.
According to 6b1369445b7b introducing "windows._removedirs()":
If a hg repository including working directory is a reparse point
(directory symlinked or a junction point), then using
os.removedirs will remove the reparse point erroneously.
"windows._removedirs()" should be used instead of "os.removedirs()" on
Windows.
This patch adds "removedirs" as platform depending function to replace
"os.removedirs()" invocations for portability and safety
These will be used in upcoming patches to efficiently create a dirstate
foldmap.
The Cygwin normcase behavior is more complicated than just a simple lowercasing
or uppercasing. That's why we specify 'other'.
