This patch changes the function which generates help text about commands and
options to use RST formatting. Tables describing options have been formatted
using RST table markup for some time already, so their appearance does not
change. Command lists, however, change appearance.
To format non-verbose command lists, RST field list markup was chosen, because
it resembles the old format:
<http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#field-lists>
In the old (hand-coded) format of non-verbose command lists, the left column is
12 characters wide. Our minirst implementation formats field lists with a left
column 14 characters wide, so this patch changes the appearance of help output
correspondingly:
<http://markmail.org/message/krl4cxopsnii7s6z?q=mercurial+reinert+from:%22Olav+Reinert%22&page=2>
The minirst markup most closely resembling the old verbose command lists is
definition lists. But using it would cause a blank line to be inserted between
each command definition, making the output excessively long, and no more
useful than before. To avoid this, I chose to use field lists also for verbose
command help, resulting in output like this example:
add add the specified files on the next commit
annotate, blame
show changeset information by line for each file
clone make a copy of an existing repository
commit, ci commit the specified files or all outstanding changes
diff diff repository (or selected files)
export dump the header and diffs for one or more changesets
forget forget the specified files on the next commit
init create a new repository in the given directory
log, history show revision history of entire repository or files
merge merge working directory with another revision
phase set or show the current phase name
pull pull changes from the specified source
push push changes to the specified destination
qdiff diff of the current patch and subsequent modifications
qinit init a new queue repository (DEPRECATED)
qnew create a new patch
qpop pop the current patch off the stack
qpush push the next patch onto the stack
qrefresh update the current patch
remove, rm remove the specified files on the next commit
serve start stand-alone webserver
status, st show changed files in the working directory
summary, sum summarize working directory state
update, up, checkout, co
update working directory (or switch revisions)
This change is a move towards generating all help text as a list of strings
marked up with RST.
Files are being replaced by rollback but the corresponding data in localrepo
isn't actually updated for things like bookmarks, phases, etc. Then when
rollback is done, the cache is updated thinking it has the most up-to-date
data, where in fact it is still pre-rollback.
We clear _filecache to force everything to be recreated.
When assigning a new object to filecached properties, the cached object that
was kept in the _filecache map was still holding the old object.
By implementing __set__, we track these changes too and update the cached
copy as well.
The dirstate is invalidated separately outside of invalidate() which is
already being called (other callers of invalidate() seems to suggest the
separation is there for a reason).
The output of "hg help" is changed to ensure that the column containing
descriptions of commands, extensions, and other topics is correctly alignmened.
This will trigger the filecache and recreate every cached property that was
changed by something other than this cmdserver instance (e.g. by running
'hg commit' at the cmdline).
The ui passed to server() is really repo.ui, that is it contains its local
configuration as well.
When running commands that use a different repo than the servers cached repo,
we don't want to use that ui as the baseui for the new repo.
