The original implementation of log walked backwards through history,
which had terrible behaviour. It took several minutes to view
complete kernel change history on a fast machine, for example.
The rewrite uses a windowed approach to walk hunks of history
forwards, while still giving results in reverse order. This reduces
run time from five minutes to five seconds on my system.
In addition, the rewrite uses our normal name handling mechanisms, so
you can run a command like "hg log net/ipv4/**.c" and get a useful
answer. It optimises for three different cases (no arguments, only
files, and anything goes), so it performs well in all circumstances
I've tested.
Based on a patch by Fuming Wang
- add util.binary which decides whether a file is binary if it has any NUL
characters in the first 1K.
- teach mdiff.unidiff to print "binary file <x> has changed" for binary files
- add text flag to cause unidiff and dodiff to treat all files as text
- add -a and --text flags (like diff(1)) to hg diff and export
- update docs
Most read operations in hg don't need locks because we order reads and
writes for consistency. Clone is an exception to this as we're copying
entire file histories and could end up with more file history copied
than we have commits.
For now, make clone take a lock on the source repo. Non-hardlinked
clone should eventually be changed to use lockless pull.
Prior to this, a file that did not exist was reported as showing up in
the filesystem, as were files of unsupported types (such as fifos).
Now, an error message is printed and nothing is returned in such cases.
This change also moves the commands.pathto function to the util module,
as the walk code needs it to print non-confusing error messages.
The first consequence of this is that absolute and relative paths now
all work in the same way. The second is that paths that lie outside
the repository now cause an error to be reported, instead of something
arbitrary and expensive being done.
Internally, all of the serious work is in the util package. The new
canonpath function takes an arbitrary path and either returns a
canonical path or raises an error. Because it needs to know where the
repository root is, it must be fed a repository or dirstate object, which
has given commands.matchpats and friends a new parameter to pass along.
The util.matcher function uses this to canonicalise globs and relative
path names.
Meanwhile, I've moved the Abort exception from commands to util, and
killed off the redundant util.CommandError exception.
New function: commands.pathto returns the relative path from one path
to another. For example, given foo/bar and baz/quux, it will return
../../baz/quux. This new function is used by the walk and status code
to print relative paths correctly.
New command: debugwalk exercises the walk code without doing anything
more.
hg.dirstate.walk now yields normalised names. For example, if you're
in the baz directory and you ask it to walk ../foo/bar/.., it will yield
names starting with foo/.
As a result of this change, all of the other walk and changes methods
in this module also return normalised names.
The util.matcher function now normalises globs and path names, so that
it will match normalised names properly.
Finally, util.matcher uses the non-glob prefix of a glob to tell walk
which directories to scan. Perviously, a glob like foo/* would scan
everything, but only return matches for foo/*. Now, foo/* only scans
under foo (using the globprefix function), which is much faster.
When we switched to the new walk code for commands, we no longer passed a
list of specific files to the repo or dirstate walk or changes methods.
This meant that we always walked and attempted to match everything,
which was not efficient.
Now, if we are given any patterns to match, or nothing at all, we still
walk everything. But if we are given only file names that contain no
glob characters, we only walk those.

[PATCH] Harden os.system
From: Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com>
Add util.system function. This is similar to os.system, but will
either succeed (if the process finishes with a zero exit code) or raise
a util.CommandError (if the process exits uncleanly or is killed by
a signal).
Add util.explain_exit function. This tends to be ubiquitous in code
that calls other processes, and must describe what has gone wrong.
Change some uses of os.system over to util.system.

[PATCH] file seperator handling for the other 'OS'

The following patch maintains repo root relative source file names in
canonical form (with '/' as file seperator).
Mercurial calls os.path.join, os.path.normpath, os.path.walk that use
platform's file seperator. This patch does not change seperator in
these circumstances (except when the result refer to source files).
