This speeds up the in-memory version of debugbuilddag that I'm
working on considerably for the case where we want to build just
a 00changelog.i (for discovery tests, for instance).
There are a couple of test changes because node ids in tests
have changed.
The changes to the patch names in test-mq-qdelete.t were required
because they could collide with nodeid abbreviations and newly
actually do (patch "c" collides with id "cafe..." for patch "b").
localstr's hash method exists to prevent bogus matching on lossy local
encodings. For instance, we don't want 'caf?' to match 'café' in an
ASCII locale.
But when café can be losslessly encoded in the local charset, we can
simply use a normal string and avoid the hashing trick.
This avoids using localstr's hash method, which would prevent a match between
Previously, branch names were ideally manipulated as UTF-8 strings,
because they were stored as UTF-8 in the dirstate and the changelog
and could not be safely converted to the local encoding and back.
However, only about 80% of branch name code was actually using the
right encoding conventions. This patch uses the localstr addition to
allow working on branch names as local strings, which simplifies
handling so that the previously incorrect code becomes correct.
The current implementation of colwidth was treating 'A'mbiguous
characters as wide, which was incorrect in a non-East Asian context.
As per http://unicode.org/reports/tr11/#Recommendations, we should
instead default to 'narrow' if we don't know better. As character
width is dependent on the particular font used and we have no idea
what fonts are in use, this recommendation applies.
This introduces HGENCODINGAMBIGUOUS to get the old behavior back.
