The Mercurial ssh protocol is defined as if it was ssh-ing to a shell account on
an ordinary ssh server, and where hg was available in $PATH and it executed
the command "hg -R REPOPATH serve --stdio".
The Mercurial ssh client can in most cases just pass REPOPATH to the shell, but
if it contains unsafe characters the client will have to quote it so the shell
will pass the right -R value to hg. Correct quoting of repopaths was introduced
in 7bec00a7d7a6 and tweaked in c3194121de6c.
hg-ssh doesn't create the command via a shell and used a simple parser instead.
It worked fine for simple paths without any quoting, but if any kind of quoting
was used it failed to parse the command like the shell would do it.
This makes hg-ssh behave more like a normal shell with hg in the path would do.
Adds a new discovery method based on repeatedly sampling the still
undecided subset of the local node graph to determine the set of nodes
common to both the client and the server.
For small differences between client and server, it uses about the same
or slightly fewer roundtrips than the old tree-based discovery. For
larger differences, it typically reduces the number of roundtrips
drastically (from 150 to 4, for instance).
The old discovery code now lives in treediscovery.py, the new code is
in setdiscovery.py.
Still missing is a hook for extensions to contribute nodes to the
initial sample. For instance, Augie's remotebranches could contribute
the last known state of the server's heads.
Credits for the actual sampler and computing common heads instead of
bases go to Benoit Boissinot.
We don't support passwords in ssh URLs, and neither do some versions
of Python's urllib. Since we don't actually care much here, punt with
a glob in the test.
This is a simple patch to make hg push/hg outgoing print their remote target
path even if the operation fails. I'm not sure if the original behavior was by
design.
This patch also changes one test to reflect the changed behaviour.
