This commit makes it so sparse treats passed paths as CWD-relative,
not repo-root-realive. This is a more intuitive behavior in my (and some
other FB people's) opinion.
This is breaking change however. My hope here is that since sparse is
experimental, it's ok to introduce BCs.
The reason (glob)s are needed in the test is this: in these two cases we
do not supply path together with slashes, but `os.path.join` adds them, which
means that under Windows they can be backslashes. To demonstrate this behavior,
one could remove the (glob)s and run `./run-tests.py test-sparse.t` from
MinGW's terminal on Windows.
Current logic is misleading (it says it drops only absolute paths, but
it actually drops all of them), not cross-platform (does not support Windows)
and IMO just wrong (as it should just error out if absolute paths are given).
This commit fixes it.
Instead of treating files that are outside the sparse config as
ignored, this makes it so we list only those that are within the
sparse config by passing the sparse matcher to dirstate.walk().
Once we add support for narrow (sparseness applied to history, not
just working copy), we will need to do a similar restriction of the
walk over manifests, so this will be more consistent then. It also
simplifies the code a bit.
Note that a side-effect of this change is that files outside the
sparse config used to be listed as ignored, but they will now not be
listed at all. This can be seen in the test case where "hg purge" no
longer has any effect because it doesn't see that the files outside
the space config exist. To fix that, I think we should add an option
to dirstate.walk() to walk outside the sparse config. We might expose
that to the user as --no-sparse flag to e.g. "hg status" and "hg
purge", but that's work for another day.

I'm not sure if the difference on Windows for test-sparse.t is expected or not.
It looks like unless the leading '/' is followed by a drive letter, '/' is
resolved to 'C:/MinGW/msys/1.0'. But both cases abort with "not under root"
instead of just warning.
This patch migrates rebase to use scmutil.cleanupnodes API. It simplifies
the code and makes rebase code reusable inside a transaction.
This is a BC because the backup file is no longer strip-backup/*-backup.hg,
but strip-backup/*-rebase.hg. The latter looks more reasonable since the
directory name is "strip-backup" so there is no need to repeat "backup".
I think the backup file name change is probably fine as a BC, since we have
changed it before (2e51c9a7a08f) and didn't get complains. The end result
of this series will be a much more consistent and unified backup names:
command | old backup file suffix | new backup file suffix
-------------------------------------------------------------------
amend | amend-backup.hg | amend.hg
histedit | backup.hg (could be 2 files) | histedit.hg (single file)
rebase | backup.hg | rebase.hg
strip | backup.hg | backup.hg
(note: backup files are under .hg/strip-backup)
It also fixes issue5606 as a side effect because the new "delayedstrip" code
path will carefully examine nodes (safestriproots) to make sure orphaned
changesets won't get stripped by accident.
Some warning messages are changed to the new "warning: orphaned descendants
detected, not stripping HASHES", which provides more information about
exactly what changesets are left behind.
Another minor behavior change is when there is an obsoleted changeset with a
successor in the destination branch, bookmarks pointing to that obsoleted
changeset will not be moved. I have commented in test-rebase-obsolete.t
explaining why that is more desirable.
The code was refactored during the move to be more procedural
instead of using string formatting. This has the benefit of not
writing empty sections, which changed tests.
Sparse checkout is still highly experimental and not protected
by BC guarantees yet. We also haven't had a discussion on the UX.
To discourage use, we rename the sparse command to debugsparse.
Facebook has developed an extension to enable "sparse" checkouts -
a working directory with a subset of files. This feature is a critical
component in enabling repositories to scale to infinite number of
files while retaining reasonable performance. It's worth noting
that sparse checkout is only one possible solution to this problem:
another is virtual filesystems that realize files on first access.
But given that virtual filesystems may not be accessible to all
users, sparse checkout is necessary as a fallback.
Per mailing list discussion at
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2017-March/095868.html
we want to add sparse checkout to the Mercurial distribution via
roughly the following mechanism:
1. Vendor extension as-is with minimal modifications (this patch)
2. Refactor extension so it is more clearly experimental and inline
with Mercurial practices
3. Move code from extension into core where possible
4. Drop experimental labeling and/or move feature into core
after sign-off from narrow clone feature owners
This commit essentially copies the sparse extension and tests
from revision 71e0a2aeca92a4078fe1b8c76e32c88ff1929737 of the
https://bitbucket.org/facebook/hg-experimental repository.
A list of modifications made as part of vendoring is as follows:
* "EXPERIMENTAL" added to module docstring
* Imports were changed to match Mercurial style conventions
* "testedwith" value was updated to core Mercurial special value and
comment boilerplate was inserted
* A "clone_sparse" function was renamed to "clonesparse" to appease
the style checker
* Paths to the sparse extension in tests reflect built-in location
* test-sparse-extensions.t was renamed to test-sparse-fsmonitor.t
and references to "simplecache" were removed. The test always skips
because it isn't trivial to run it given the way we currently run
fsmonitor tests
* A double empty line was removed from test-sparse-profiles.t
There are aspects of the added code that are obviously not ideal.
The goal is to make a minimal number of modifications as part of
the vendoring to make it easier to track changes from the original
implementation. Refactoring will occur in subsequent patches.
