Comparing sizes is cheaper than comparing file contents, as it does not
involve reading the file on disk or from the filelog.
It is however not always possible: some extensions, or encode filters,
change data when extracting it to the working directory.
The behaviour between http and ssh still differ:
- the "unsynced changes" is seen as a remote output in the http cases
- but it is correctly seen as a push error for ssh
This decides when to run the pager based on the first call to
ui.write() and ui.write_err(). This has the side effect of not the
output of subprocesses that write output before hg does.
- Mac OS X has problems with filenames starting with '._'
(e.g. '.FOO' -> '._f_o_o' is now encoded as '~2e_f_o_o')
- Explorer of Windows Vista and Windows 7 strip leading spaces of
path elements of filenames when copying trees
Above problems are avoided by encoding the first space (as '~20') or
period (as '~2e') of all path elements.
This introduces a new entry 'dotencode' in .hg/requires, that is,
a new repository filename layout (inside .hg/store).
Newly created repositories require 'dotencode' by default. Specifying
[format]
dotencode = False
in a config file will use the old format instead.
Prior Mercurial versions will abort with the message
abort: requirement 'dotencode' not supported!
when trying to access a local repository that requires 'dotencode'.
New 'dotencode' repositories can be converted to the previous
repository format with
hg --config format.dotencode=0 clone --pull repoA repoB
Python's __import__() function has 'level' as the fourth argument, not the
third. The code path in question probably never worked.
(This was seen trying to run Mercurial in PyPy. Fixing this made it
die somewhere else...)
There are only 2 patterns to choose, and so far only 1 case
where kwtemplater.re_kw.subn is applied on data read from
the working directory: when recording added files.
With this change the code reflects more closely the boolean
character of the switch and underlines the special case.
When using "hg update" to update to a revision on another branch, if
the user has uncommitted changes in the working directory, hg aborts
with the following message:
abort: crosses branches (use 'hg merge' to merge or use 'hg update
-C' to discard changes)
If the user isn't trying to update to tip and they follow the command
examples verbatim, they would end up updating to the wrong revision.
This patch removes the command examples in favor of just telling the
user to either merge or use --clean:
abort: crosses branches (merge branches or use --clean to discard
changes)
hg also aborts if the user tries to use "hg update" to get to tip
(without specifying a revision) and tip is on another branch:
abort: crosses branches (use 'hg merge' or use 'hg update -c')
This message is changed in the same fashion:
abort: crosses branches (merge branches or use --check to force
update)
