This allows us to provide alternate search keys for 64bit operating systems that
may have 32bit merge tools installed. Presumably it may find other uses.
The default behaviour is to commit subrepositories with uncommitted changes. In
my experience this is usually undesirable:
- Changes to dependencies are often debugging leftovers
- Real changes should generally be applied on the source project directly,
tested then committed. This is not always possible, subversion subrepos may
include only a small part of the source project, without the tests.
Setting ui.commitsubrepos=no will now abort commits containing such modified
subrepositories like:
$ hg --config ui.commitsubrepos=no ci -m msg
abort: uncommitted changes in subrepo sub
I ruled out the hook solution because it does not easily take --include/exclude
options in account. Also, my main concern is whether this flag could cause
problems with extensions. If there are legitimate reasons for callers to
override this behaviour (I could not find any), they might either override at ui
level, or we could add an argument to localrepo.commit() later.
v2:
- Renamed ui.commitsubs to ui.commitsubrepos
- Mention the configuration entry in hg help subrepos
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.
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.
Currently we only support enabling TLS by using SMTP STARTTLS extension. But
not all the servers support it.
With this patch, user can choose which way to enable TLS:
* Default:
tls = none
port = 25
* To use STARTTLS:
tls = starttls
port = 465
* To use SMTP over SSL:
tls = smtps
port = 465
To keep backward compatibility, when tls = true, we use STARTTLS to enable TLS.

By default, hgweb_mod supports caching via the ETag header. This can
cause some confusion with browsers which cache aggressively. This change
preserves existing behavior while giving the administrator a knob to
disable the ETag header.
Clicking on the logo image/text in the hgweb interface brings the
user to the Mercurial project page. The majority of users expect that
this would bring them to the top level index. I have added a new template
variable named `logourl' which allows an administrator to change this
behavior. To stay compatible with existing behavior, `logourl' will
default to http://mercurial.selenic.com/. This change is very useful in
large installations where jumping to the index is common.
On POSIX platforms, the 'add', 'addremove', 'copy' and 'rename' commands now
warn if a file has a name that can't be checked out on Windows.
Example:
$ hg add con.xml
warning: filename contains 'con', which is reserved on Windows: 'con.xml'
$ hg status
A con.xml
The file is added despite the warning.
The warning is ON by default. It can be suppressed by setting the config option
'portablefilenames' in section 'ui' to 'ignore' or 'false':
$ hg --config ui.portablefilenames=ignore add con.xml
$ hg sta
A con.xml
If ui.portablefilenames is set to 'abort', then the command is aborted:
$ hg --config ui.portablefilenames=abort add con.xml
abort: filename contains 'con', which is reserved on Windows: 'con.xml'
On Windows, the ui.portablefilenames config setting is irrelevant and the
command is always aborted if a problematic filename is found.
Why?
- Mercurial internal patcher works correctly for regular patches and git
patches, is much faster at least on Windows and is more extensible.
- In theory, the external patcher can be used to handle exotic patch formats. I
do not know any and have not heard about any such use in years.
- Most patch programs cannot handle git format patches, which makes the API
caller to decide either to ignore ui.patch by calling patch.internalpatch()
directly, or take the risk of random failures with valid inputs.
- One thing a patch program could do Mercurial patcher cannot is applying with
--reverse. Apparently several shelve like extensions try to use that,
including passing the "reverse" option to Mercurial patcher, which has been
removed mid-2009. I never heard anybody complain about that, and would prefer
reimplementing it anyway.
And from the technical perspective:
- The external patcher makes everything harder to maintain and implement. EOL
normalization is not implemented, and I would bet file renames, if supported
by the patcher, are not correctly recorded in the dirstate.
- No tests.
How?
- Remove related documentation
- Clearly mark patch.externalpatch() as private
- Remove the debuginstall check. This deprecation request was actually
triggered by this last point. debuginstall is the only piece of code patching
without a repository. When migrating to an integrated patch() + updatedir()
call, this was really a showstopper, all workarounds were either ugly or
uselessly complicated to implement. If we do not support external patcher
anymore, the debuginstall check is not useful anymore.
- Remove patch.externalpatch() after 1.9 release.
It is an intermediate file used to produce the hg.1 and .hg.1.html
files and is not useful for people who download the tarball. It will
be regenerated automatically by the Makefile if users want to rebuild
the documentation.
This was an old left-over from when the synopsis line was used as a
header. We now have the command name by itself as the header and the
synopsis as a literal block immediately after..
Adds a section in the hg.1 manpage and corresponding hg.1.html
file. Each extension is listed with its module docstring, followed by
the commands defined by that extendsion.
Creates help for extensions by extracting doc strings from the extension modules
and its commands.
When getting docstrings from the source they are indented to look good
in the code. This indentation interferes with how the text is parsed
by rst. Therefore this indentation is removed.
