This allows you to do:
hg clone http://server/repo#stable
which is equivalent to:
hg clone -r stable http://server/repo
Future incoming, outgoing, and push commands will default to using
this id because it's recorded in the default path.
Other commands that accept URLs (push, pull, bundle, incoming, and
outgoing) also accept this syntax.
The ui object we received in this function may belong to another repo,
which could be confusing from the hook point of view. Trying to use
the ui object from the newly created repo should avoid this confusion.
since creating a repo raises an exception if the repo already
exists, there's no need to try to create one.
add some test for repo creation when the destination exists
islocal tells if a repo or url is local.
defaultdest returns default path for clone if explicit path not given.
clone can now take repo or url as source
existing clone code uses pull to get changes from remote repo. is very
slow, uses lots of memory and cpu.
new clone code has server write file data straight to client, client
writes file data straight to disk. memory and cpu used are very low,
clone is much faster over lan.
new client can still clone with pull, can still clone from older servers.
new server can still serve older clients.
str.find return -1 when the substring is not found, -1 evaluate
to True and is a valid index, which can lead to bugs.
Using alternatives when possible makes the code clearer and less
prone to bugs. (and __contains__ is faster in microbenchmarks)
Rearranged the clone command a good bit to make sure it validates that
the source does exist and that the destination doesn't before doing anything.
Before I moved the source repo check it would create the destination
repository before it verified the source existed.
Moved the responsibility for creating the destination repo root directory
entirly into the localrepo class so that local to local cloning doesn't break.
This also simplifies the code a bit since it's no longer being done in both
clone and init.
Changed the names of the 'repo' and 'other' variables to 'dest_repo' and
'src_repo' to maintain my sanity.
Passes 82/83 tests. The only failure is the version number test, which I
suspect is supposed to fail since it comes from a generated file.
