With a pattern like '^directory$' in .hgignore, a "hg status directory"
would still walk "directory" and all its subdirs.
This is the first half of a fix for issue886.
With this change, you have to use "hg locate 'hgweb/**'" to locate
all the files in directories named hgweb. OTOH, "hg locate '*l'"
will locate only files that end with "l" - e.g. a file called "hg.py"
will not be matched just because it's in a directory whose name ends
with "l" (e.g. "mercurial").
With that changeset, it's impossible to use a glob: pattern to match
e.g. all files ending in .py - glob:**.py would also match all files
in a directory called dir.py.
This makes the behaviour of glob: patterns more consistent:
hg status glob:dir and hg status -I glob:dir will match
the same files.
It's also consistent with the fact that {rel,}path patterns
recursively match the contents of a directory.
This removes a hack where we appended '/' to a dirname so that:
- it would not appear on the "dc" dict
- it would always be matched by the match function
This was a contorted way of checking if the directory was matched by
some hgignore pattern, and it would still fail with some uses of
--include/--exclude patterns.
Things would still work fine if we removed the check altogether and
just appended things to "work" directly, but then we would end up
walking ignored directories too, which could be quite a bit of work.
This allows further simplification of the match function returned by
util._matcher, and fixes walking the working directory with a
--include pattern that matches only the end of a name.
This should fix issue347.
It also highlights one issue with the directory walking code when
you have an --include pattern that matches the end of a filename.
This is fixed by the next patch.
names=['.'] means "include (recursively) only files from the current subdir";
the function then did a hack to walk the whole tree. Clean that up.
This also fixes a problem where "--include ." works in a subdir, but not
on the tree root.
The main problem was that dirstate.getcwd() returned just "",
which was interpreted as "we're at the repo root". It now returns
an absolute path.
The util.pathto function was also changed to deal with the "cwd is
an absolute path" case.
