Previously, when extdiff was called on two changesets where
a subrepository had been removed, an unexpected KeyError would
be raised.
Now, the missing subrepository will be ignored. This behavior
mirrors the behavior in diffordiffstat from cmdutil.py line
~1138-1153. The KeyError is caught and the revision is
set to None.
try/catch of LookupError around matchmod.narrowmatcher and
sub.status is removed, as LookupError is not raised anywhere
within those methods or deeper calls.
When using 'extdiff --patch' to check the changes in a rebase, 'precursors(x)'
evaluated to an empty set because I forgot the --hidden flag, so the other
revision was used as the replacement for the empty set. The result was the
patch for the other revision was diffed against itself, and the tool saying
there were no differences. That's misleading since the expected diff args were
silently changed, so it's better to bail out.
The other uses of scmutil.revpair() are commands.diff and commands.status, and
it doesn't make sense to allow an empty revision there either. The code here
was suggested by Yuya Nishihara.
One of the things I missed the most when transitioning from versioned MQ to
evolve was the loss of being able to check that rebase conflicts were properly
resolved by:
$ hg ci --mq -m "before"
$ hg rebase -s qbase -d tip
$ hg bcompare --mq
The old csets stay in the tree with evolve, but a straight diff includes all of
the other changes that were pulled in, obscuring the code that was rebased.
Diffing deltas can be confusing, but unless radical changes were made during the
resolve, it is very clear when individual hunks are added, dropped or modified.
Unlike the MQ technique, this can only compare a single pair of csets/patches at
a time. Like the MQ method, this also highlights changes in the commit comment
and other metadata.
I originally tried monkey patching from the evolve extension, but that is too
complicated given that it depends on the order the two different extensions are
loaded. This functionality is also useful when comparing grafts however, so
implementing it in the core is more than just convenience.
The --change argument doesn't make much sense for this, but it isn't harmful so
I didn't bother blocking it. The -I/-X options are ignored because of a
limitation of cmdutil.export(). We'll fix that next.
The '~' in the bug report is being expanded to a path with Windows style slashes
before being passed to shellquote() via util.shellquote(). But shlex.split()
strips '\' out of the string, leaving an invalid path in dispatch.aliasargs().
This regressed in 72640182118e.
For now, the tests need to be conditionalized for Windows (because those paths
are quoted). In the future, a more complex regex could probably skip the quotes
if all component separators are double '\'. I opted to glob away the quotes in
test-rename-merge2.t and test-up-local-change.t (which only exist on Windows),
because they are in very large blocks of output and there are way too many diffs
to conditionalize with #if directives. Maybe the entire path should be globbed
away like the following paths in each changed line. Or, letting #if directives
sit in the middle of the output as was mentioned a few months back would work
too.
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to test the specific bug. All of the
'hg serve' tests have a #require serve declaration, causing them to be skipped
on Windows. Adding an alias for 'expandtest = outgoing ~/bogusrepo' prints the
repo as '$TESTTMP/bogusrepo', so the test runner must be changing the
environment somehow.
My Mac test machine has 'echo' in '/opt/local/libexec/gnubin/echo' since, well,
GNU is not BSD.
Also, I feel it need to be said about using regexes:
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular
expressions." Now they have two problems.
b8552020f458 broke things ... and the following cleanups didn't fix all issues.
It didn't work with the diffargs shipped in mergetools.rc with explicit
quoting. Parameters would end up with being quoted twice - especially if they
really needed quoting.
To work around that, look for explicit quotes around the variables that will be
substituted with proper quoting. Also accept an additional prefix so we can
handle both
--foo='$parent'
and
'--foo=$parent'
It will however still fail if the user intentionally place the variable inside
a quoted string, as in
'parent $parent is on the left'
There is currently no good way to handle that, short of knowing exactly which
quoting mechanism will be used.
This patch makes "posix.shellquote" examine the specified string and
quote it only when it may have to be quoted for safety, like as the
previous patch for "windows.shellquote".
In fact, on POSIX environment, quoting itself doesn't cause issues
like issue4463. But (almost) equivalent quoting policy can avoid
examining test result differently on POSIX and Windows (even though
showing command line with "%r" causes such examination in
"test-extdiff.t").
The last hunk for "test-extdiff.t" in this patch isn't needed for the
previous patch for "windows.shellquote", because the code path of it
is executed only "#if execbit" (= avoided on Windows).
Before this patch, "windows.shellquote" (as used as "util.shellquote")
always quotes specified strings with double quotation marks, for
external process invocation.
But some problematic applications can't work correctly, when command
line arguments are quoted: see issue4463 for detail.
On the other hand, quoting itself is needed to specify arguments
containing whitespaces and/or some special characters exactly.
This patch makes "windows.shellquote" examine the specified string and
quote it only when it may have to be quoted for safety.
Before this patch, all command line arguments for external tools are
quoted by the combination of "shlex.split" and "util.shellquote". But
this causes some problems.
- some problematic commands can't work correctly with quoted arguments
For example, 'WinMerge /r ....' is OK, but 'WinMerge "/r" ....' is
NG. See also below for detail about this problem.
https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issue/3978/
- quoting itself may change semantics of arguments
For example, when the environment variable CONCAT="foo bar baz':
- mydiff $CONCAT => mydiff foo bar baz (taking 3 arguments)
- mydiff "$CONCAT" => mydiff "foo bar baz" (taking only 1 argument)
For another example, single quoting (= "util.shellquote") on POSIX
environment prevents shells from expanding environment variables,
tilde, and so on:
- mydiff "$HOME" => mydiff /home/foobar
- mydiff '$HOME' => mydiff $HOME
- "shlex.split" can't handle some special characters correctly
It just splits specified command line by whitespaces.
For example, "echo foo;echo bar" is split into ["echo",
"foo;echo", "bar"].
On the other hand, if quoting itself is omitted, users can't specify
options including space characters with "--option" at runtime.
The root cause of this issue is that "shlex.split + util.shellquote"
combination loses whether users really want to quote each command line
elements or not, even though these can be quoted arbitrarily in
configurations.
To resolve this problem, this patch does:
- prevent configurations from being processed by "shlex.split" and
"util.shellquote"
only (possibly) "findexe"-ed or "findexternaltool"-ed command path
is "util.shellquote", because it may contain whitespaces.
- quote options specified by "--option" via command line at runtime
This patch also makes "dodiff()" take only one "args" argument instead
of "diffcmd" and "diffopts. It also omits applying "util.shellquote"
on "args", because "args" should be already stringified in "extdiff()"
and "mydiff()".
The last hunk for "test-extdiff.t" replaces two whitespaces by single
whitespace, because change of "' '.join()" logic causes omitting
redundant whitespaces.
There are three ways to configure an extdiff tool:
1) cmd.tool = (/path/to/exe optional)
2) tool = (path/to/exe optional)
3) tool = sometool someargs
Previously, if no executable is specified in the first two forms, the named tool
must be in $PATH, or the invocation fails. Since the [merge-tools] section
already has the path to the diff executable, and/or the registry keys to find
the executable on Windows, reuse that configuration for forms 1 and 2 instead of
failing. We already fallback to [diff-tools] and then [merge-tools] for program
arguments if they aren't specified in the [extdiff] section.
Since this additional lookup only occurs if an executable is not on the $PATH
for the named tool, this is backwards compatible. For now, we assume the user
knows what he is doing if a path is provided.
This change allows a configuration file like this (assuming beyondcompare3 is
configured in merge-tools), instead of hardcoding system specific a path:
[extdiff]
beyondcompare3 =
We used to have two slightly different message which people wouldn't read...
and then complain that they couldn't find the global options or examples.
So we unify them into one message that's upfront that STUFF IS
INTENTIONALLY HIDDEN and that looks more like our normal hint style.
$ hg extdiff -p cmd -o "name <user@example.com>"
resulted in a shell redirection error (due to the less-than sign),
rather than passing the single option to cmd. This was due to options
not being quoted for passing to the shell, via util.system(). Apply
util.shellquote() to each of the user-specified options (-o) to the
comparison program before they are concatenated and passed to
util.system(). The requested external diff command (-p) and the
files/directories being compared are already quoted correctly.
The discussion at the time of changeset 6654fcb57d92 correctly noted
that this course of action breaks whitespace-separated options specified
for external diff commands in the configuration. The lower part of the
patch corrects this by lexing options read from the configuration file
into separate options rather than reading them all into the first
option.
Update test to cover these conditions.

Before this patch, there is no information about whether help document
is fully displayed or not.
So, some users seem to misunderstand "-v" for "hg help" just as "the
option to show list of global options": experience on "hg help -v" for
some commands not containing verbose containers may strengthen this
misunderstanding.
Such users have less opportunity for noticing omitted help document,
and this may cause insufficient understanding about Mercurial.
This patch indicates help omitting, if help document is not fully
displayed.
For command help, the message below is displayed at the end of help
output, if help document is not fully displayed:
use "hg -v help xxxx" to show more complete help and the global
options
and otherwise:
use "hg -v help xxxx" to show the global options
For topics and extensions help, the message below is displayed, only
if help document is not fully displayed:
use "hg help -v xxxx" to show more complete help
This allows users to know whether there is any omitted information or
not exactly, and can trigger "hg help -v" invocation.
This patch causes formatting help document twice, to switch messages
one for omitted help, and another for not omitted. This decreases
performance of help document formatting, but it is not mainly focused
at help command invocation, so this wouldn't become problem.
