Well-behaved Mercurial clients will respect the httpheader capability by not
sending http headers longer than the given limit in bytes. The limit is
currently hard-coded at 1024 bytes, a safe value for any web server.
Since parsing headers is a notable factor in web server performance, tuning
header size can nontrivially improve performance for request-heavy operations
(eg. obsolete marker negotiation). Exposing the maximum header length limit
as a configuration setting is a simple way to enable such tuning.
This patch series is intended to unify the interpretation of string literals.
It is breaking change that boldly assumes
a. string literal "..." never contains template-like fragment or it is
intended to be a template
b. we tend to use raw string literal r"..." for regexp pattern in which "{"
should have different meaning
Currently, we don't have a comprehensible rule how string literals are
evaluated in template functions. For example, fill() takes "initialindent"
and "hangindent" as templates, but not for "text", whereas "text" is a
template in pad() function.
date(date, fmt)
diff(includepattern, excludepattern)
fill(text, width, initialident: T, hangindent: T)
get(dict, key)
if(expr, then: T, else: T)
ifcontains(search, thing, then: T, else: T)
ifeq(expr1, expr2, then: T, else: T)
indent(text, indentchars, firstline)
join(list, sep)
label(label: T, expr: T)
pad(text: T, width, fillchar, right)
revset(query, formatargs...])
rstdoc(text, style)
shortest(node, minlength)
startswith(pattern, text)
strip(text, chars)
sub(pattern, replacement, expression: T)
word(number, text, separator)
expr % template: T
T: interpret "string" or r"rawstring" as template
This patch series adjusts the rule as follows:
a. string literal, '' or "", starts template processing (BC)
b. raw string literal, r'' or r"", disables both \-escape and template
processing (BC, done by subsequent patches)
c. fragment not surrounded by {} is non-templated string
"ccc{'aaa'}{r'bbb'}"
------------------ *: template
--- c: string
--- a: template
--- b: rawstring
Because this can eliminate the compilation of template arguments from the
evaluation phase, "hg log -Tdefault" gets faster.
% cd mozilla-central
% LANG=C HGRCPATH=/dev/null hg log -Tdefault -r0:10000 --time > /dev/null
before: real 4.870 secs (user 4.860+0.000 sys 0.010+0.000)
after: real 3.480 secs (user 3.440+0.000 sys 0.030+0.000)
Also, this will allow us to parse nested templates at once for better error
indication.
Today, the terms 'active' and 'current' are interchangeably used throughout the
codebase in reference to the active bookmark (the bookmark that will be updated
with the next commit). This leads to confusion among developers and users.
This patch is part of a series to standardize the usage to 'active' throughout
the mercurial codebase and user interface.

This hook will be called whenever a transaction is aborted. This will make it
easy for people to clean up temporary content they may have created during a
transaction.
Paths into the subrepo are not yet supported.
The need to use the workingctx in the subrepo will likely be used more in the
future, with the proposed working directory revset symbol. It is also needed
with archive, if that code is to be reused to support 'extdiff -S'.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible to put the smarts in subrepo.subrepo(),
as it breaks various status and diff tests.
I opted not to pass the desired revision into the subrepo method explicitly,
because the only ones that do pass an explicit revision are methods like status
and diff, which actually operate on two contexts- the subrepo state and the
explicitly passed revision.
We are adding a 'txnclose' hook that will be run right before a transaction is
closed. Hooks running at that time will have access to the full transaction
content through both 'hookargs' content and on-disk reading. They will be able
to abort the transaction.
We are adding generic hooking for all transactions. We may have useful
information about what happened during the transaction, user of the transaction
should have filled the 'hookargs' dictionnary of the transaction. This hook is
simple because it has no power to rollback the transaction.
We are adding generic hooking for all transactions. We do not really have any
useful information to include when opening the transaction but this is a
useful time to allow a hook anyway. We better let people abort transaction before
they happen than after multiple seconds/minutes of processing.
The capabilities and URL endpoints of the hgweb server can currently
only be inferred by looking at links in `hg serve` output or by reading
the source code. I've frequently found myself wanting to quickly see
what URLs and capabilities are available.
This patch teaches the help system how to display information about
web commands and their URLs. Using a mechanism similar to revsets,
templates, etc, we can now iterate over the docstrings of registered
web command functions and display them in the help output.
Unfortunately, web commands don't currently have docstrings, so the
output is currently empty. This will be addressed in the following
patches. I apologize for the patch bomb.
V2: use 'self._ctx.node()' instead of 'rev' in makefileobj.
As Matt Harbison mentioned, using 'rev' does not make sense,
since we'd be passing a git revision to the top-level
Mercurial repository.
Before this patch, there is no way to concatenate strings at runtime.
For example, to search for the issue ID "1234" in descriptions against
all of "issue 1234", "issue:1234", issue1234" and "bug(1234)"
patterns, the revset below should be written fully from scratch for
each issue ID.
grep(r"\bissue[ :]?1234\b|\bbug\(1234\)")
This patch introduces new infix operator "##" to concatenate
strings/symbols at runtime. Operator symbol "##" comes from the same
one of C pre-processor. This concatenation allows parametrizing a part
of strings in revset queries.
In the case of example above, the definition of the revset alias using
operator "##" below can search issue ID "1234" in complicated patterns
by "issue(1234)" simply:
issue($1) = grep(r"\bissue[ :]?" ## $1 ## r"\b|\bbug\(" ## $1 ## r"\)")
"##" operator does:
- concatenate not only strings but also symbols into the string
Exact distinction between strings and symbols seems not to be
convenience, because it is tiresome for users (and
"revset.getstring" treats both similarly)
For example of revset alias "issue()", "issue(1234)" is easier
than "issue('1234')".
- have higher priority than any other prefix, infix and postfix
operators (like as "##" of C pre-processor)
This patch (re-)assigns the priority 20 to "##", and 21 to "(",
because priority 19 is already assigned to "-" as prefix "negate".
Previously these would be considered to be relative to the current working
directory. That behavior is both undocumented and doesn't really make sense.
There are two reasonable options for how to resolve relative paths:
- relative to the repo root
- relative to the config file
Resolving these files relative to the repo root matches existing behavior with
hooks. An earlier discussion about this is available at
http://mercurial.markmail.org/thread/tvu7yhzsiywgkjzl.
Thanks to Isaac Jurado <diptongo@gmail.com> for the initial patchset that
spurred the discussion.
Git and svn subrepos are currently not supported. It doesn't look like git or
svn have these commands natively, so that's an area for a git or svn expert.
The recursive addremove operation occurs completely before the first subrepo is
committed. Only hg subrepos support the addremove operation at the moment- svn
and git subrepos will warn and abort the commit.
So far, git subrepositories were silently ignored for diffs.
This patch adds support for git subrepositories,
with the remark that --include and --exclude are not supported.
If --include or --exclude are used, the subrepo is ignored.
Like 'forget', git and svn subrepos are currently not supported. Unfortunately
the name 'remove' is already used in the subrepo classes, so we break the
convention of naming the subrepo function after the command.
In an upcoming patch we'll enable support as an option to 'hg diff' as well.
The tests reflect the current state of the world -- as we add support we'll see
changes in the test output.
This helps providing a more consistent user experience on all platforms and
with all packaging.
The exact location of default.d depends on how Mercurial is installed and
whether it is 'frozen'. The exact location should never be relevant to users
and is intentionally not explained in details in the documentation. It will
however always be next to the help and templates files.
Note that setting HGRCPATH also disables these defaults. I don't know if that
should be considered a bug or a feature.
Since ce44c3c7c2be, we have a diff.nobinary option. This is handy, but
the only way I found out about it was by looking at the release notes
for 3.1, which is not something I normally do.
