Filenames starting with a dot (.hg and .hgignore) confuse man when
creating the ps documentation with "man -t hg >hg.ps" if they are not
enclosed in back quotes.
The help for backout explains:
The backout command merges the reverse effect of the reverted
changeset into the working directory.
Unfortunately, that does not make it obvious to a newcomer what the
backout command does. Since it performs a 3-way merge, what is the
common ancestor? Will the result be automatically committed? What is
this reverted changeset --- is it the rev passed with -r on the
command line or its inverse?
So try to clarify the description, avoiding jargon and being
explicit about what happens from the user's perspective.
Thanks to Gilles Moris, Steve Borho, Kevin Bullock, and timeless for
help.
If --insecure specified, it behaves in the same way as no web.cacerts
configured.
Also shows hint for --insecure option when _verifycert() failed. But currently
the hint isn't displayed on SSLError, because it needs a certain level of
changes.
This makes 'hg update --clean' behave the same way for both kinds of
subrepositories. Before Subversion subrepos did not take the clean
parameter into account, but just updated to the given revision and
merged uncommitted changes into that.
Known fingerprints of HTTPS servers can now be configured in the
hostfingerprints section. That makes it possible to verify the identify of web
servers without configuring and trusting the CA chain.
Limitations:
* Portnumbers are ignored, just like with ordinary certificates.
* Host name matching is case sensitive.
Always write the undo file. Otherwise, rollback will not work for
the initial bookmark as undo.bookmarks doesn't exists. In this case
undo.bookmarks needs already be empty.
If pywin32 is not installed, 'os.lstat(pathname).st_nlink' is used for
nlinks(), which is always zero for all files on Windows.
To make sure we break up hardlinks if pywin32 is missing, we force
nlink = 2 if nlinks() returns < 1.
(this completely fixes issue1922)
A subversion project revisions are a subset of the repository revisions, you
can ask subversion to update a working directory from one revision to another
without changing anything. Unfortunately, Mercurial will think the
subrepository has changed and will commit it again. To avoid useless commits,
we compare the subrepository state to its actual "parent" revision. To ensure
ascending compatibility with existing subrepositories which might reference
fake revisions, we also keep comparing with the subrepo working directory
revision.
NOTE: not sure if this should go in stable or not.
