This can be used for referring to revisions in a reasonable
meaningful, stable and monotonically increasing way, suitable for
releases or builds directly from a repository.
The latest tag is found by searching through untagged ancestors and
finding the latest tagged ancestor based on tag date. The distance is
found from the length of the longest path to the tagged revision.
For example:
hg log -l1 --template '{latesttag}+{latesttagdistance}\n'
can return
1.3.1+197
This is mostly work by Gilles Moris <gilles.moris@free.fr>
Useful for creating XML documents directly from Hg logging. Can also be used for
HTML. For use in content, will escape '&', '<', and for completeness '>'
(although it is not strictly necessary). For use in attributes, will also escape
' and ". Will also replace nonprinting (ASCII) control characters with spaces,
since these are illegal in XML.
This will print a full hash node with --debug and a short one otherwise.
Use it with some default templates and in map-cmdline.default to print
the parents. This should fix issue538.
Style files in templates/ now take precedence over current directory.
This can be overridden with --style=./changelog if really neeeded.
Added test for issue338.
