We ensure all repositores created through `mercurial.hg.repository`
are "hidden" filtered. This is an even stronger enforcement than
86530c899687.
Citing Matt's response to changeset 86530c899687 installing filtering
in dispatch:

The dispatch code now enables filtering of "hidden" changesets globally. The
filter is installed before command and extension invocation. The `--hidden`
switch is now global and disables this filtering for any command.
Code in log dedicated to changeset exclusion is removed as this global filtering
has the same effect.
Mercurial would sometimes exit with:
abort: No such file or directory
where str of the actual OSError exception was the more helpful:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
The exception will now always show the filename and quote it:
abort: No such file or directory: ''
When extensions had an empty `testedwith` attribute the code tried to parse it
and failed. As a result the actual error were shallowed by a This crash.
We now treat empty strip as 'unknown'
Maintain a whitelist of commands to infer the repo for instead. The whitelist
contains those commands that take file(s) in the working dir as arguments.
The "worst" extension still is the one tested with the lowest tested version
below the current version of Mercurial, but if an extension with was only
tested with newer versions, it is considered a candidate for a bad extension,
too. In this case extensions which have been tested with higher versions of
Mercurial are considered better. This allows finding the oldest extension if
ct can't be calculated correctly and therefore defaults to an empty tuple, and
it involves less changes to the comparison logic during the current code
freeze.
When developing, we may see non-standard version strings of the form
5d64306f39bb+20120525
which caused tuplever() to raise
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '5d64306f39bb'
and shadowing the real traceback.
Extension authors should explicitly declare their supported hg
versions and include a buglink attribute in their extension. In the
event that a traceback occurs, we'll identify the
least-recently-tested extensionas the most likely source of the defect
and suggest the user disable that extension.
Packagers should make every effort to ship hg versions from exact
tags, or with as few modifications as possible so that the versioning
can work appropriately.
Commands working without a repository, like "init", are listed in
commands.norepo. Commands optionally using a repository, like "showconfig", are
listed in commands.optionalrepo. Command aliases were inheriting the former but
not the latter.
This can be selected using the config variable profiling.type or
the environment variable HGPROF ("ls" for the default, "stat" for
statprof). The only tuneable is the frequency, profiling.freq,
which defaults to 1000 Hz.
If statprof is not available, a warning is printed.
The exit code returned from a program to the shell is unsigned 8-bit, but
Mercurial would sometimes try to exit with negative numbers or None. sys.exit
on Unix will convert that to 8-bit exit codes, but on Windows negative values
showed up as 0.
The exit code is now explicitly converted to unsigned 8-bit.
Previously, if you set an alias for "ci", it'd also shadow "commit"
even though you didn't specify that. This occurred for all commands
with explicit short variations.
Previously aliases that overrode existing commands would wrap the old alias
on every call to dispatch() (twice actually), which is an obvious re-entrancy
issue for things like the command server or TortoiseHG.
Older clients will still print the provided error message and not much else:
over ssh, this will be each line prefixed with 'remote: ' in addition to an
"abort: unexpected response: '\n'"; over http, this will be the '---%<---'
banners in addition to the 'does not appear to be a repository' message.
Currently, clients with this patch will display 'abort: remote error:\n' and
the provided error text, but it is trivial to style the error text however is
deemed appropriate.
Closing here means we've closed the repo passed to us in the request,
which is not our responsibility.
This is essential for bundlerepo, and possibly other localrepository
subclasses who do something in their close().
