This makes its default behaviour useful again (issue108), and
changes it search the entire repository by default (instead
of just the cwd), just like all other commands.
It also hides issue204 by default, but you'll still see the
same behaviour if you give it a relpath: pattern.
The original code uses the similary score
1 - len(diff(after, before)) / len(after)
The diff can at most be the size of the 'before' file, so any small
'before' file would be considered very similar. Removing an empty file
would cause all files added in the same revision to be considered
copies of the removed file.
This changes the metric to
bytes_overlap(before, after) / len(before + after)
i.e. the actual percentage of bytes shared between the two files.
Add finddate to find the tipmost revision that matches a date spec
Add --date option to update
Add --date option to revert
Don't pass backout's -d option to revert
delete old uibuffer class
delete old stringio class
move show to _show
add new show that uses ui.pushbuffer to buffer
add new flush that writes buffered data
add props arg to changeset_printer to match _templater
rename commands.dodiff to patch.diff.
rename commands.doexport to patch.export.
move some functions from commands to new mercurial.cmdutil module.
turn list of diff options into mdiff.diffopts class.
patch.diff and patch.export now has clean api for call from 3rd party
python code.
