Since version 1.8 (released on 2011-03-01), Mercurial doesn't use pywin32 any
more. The old fallback mechanism to use C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini if pywin32 is
not installed was removed in 1fa0a833f143.
The collapse configuration setting for hgweb was recently
introduced, but the help text was unfortunately omitted from the
patch concerned. This patch provides a suitable help text.
Brifly explain why rewriting subrepository paths can be necessary.
Explain that relative subrepository paths are made absolute before
rewrite rules are applied.
This can be selected using the config variable profiling.type or
the environment variable HGPROF ("ls" for the default, "stat" for
statprof). The only tuneable is the frequency, profiling.freq,
which defaults to 1000 Hz.
If statprof is not available, a warning is printed.
Some platforms, notably Plan 9 from Bell Labs are stuck on older
releases of Python. Due to restrictions in the platform, it is not
possible to backport the SSL library to the existing Python port.
This patch permits the UI to quiesce SSL verification warnings by
adding a configuration entry named reportoldssl to ui.
This patch contains support for Plan 9 from Bell Labs. A README is
provided in contrib/plan9 which describes the port in greater detail.
A new extension is also provided named factotum which permits the
factotum(4) authentication agent to provide credentials for HTTP
repositories. This extension is also applicable to other POSIX
platforms which make use of Plan 9 from User Space (aka plan9ports).
You can specify color to visually distinguish main branch (trunk)
on hgweb's graph page. If color specified, all branch heads will share
same color. Settings format is branch_name.color = value, where color
is six hexadecimal digits e.g.:
[graph]
default.color = FF0000
You can specify width to visually distinguish main branch (trunk)
on hgweb's graph page. Settings format is branch_name.width = value,
where width in px e.g.:
[graph]
default.width = 3
As of Mercurial 1.3, hooks are sorted in the order they are read into
Mercurial. There are many instances when someone may want the hooks
sorted in a specific order; this patch allows prioritizing hooks, while
maintaining the existing enumeration for hooks without a priority.
splitblock() was added to handle blocks returned by bdiff.blocks() which differ
only by blank lines but are not made only of blank lines. I do not know exactly
how it could happen but mdiff.blocks() threshold behaviour makes me think it
can if those blocks are made of very popular lines mixed with popular blank
lines. If it is proven to be wrong, the function can be dropped.
The first implementation made annotate share diff configuration entries. But it
looks like users will user -w/b for annotate but not for diff, on both the
command line and hgweb. Since the latter cannot use command line entries, we
introduce a new [annotate] section duplicating the diff whitespace options.
This changeset flips the default value of ui.commitsubrepos setting
from True to False and adds a --subrepos flag to commit.
The commit, status, and diff commands behave like this with regard to
recusion and the ui.commitsubrepos setting:
| recurses | recurses
| by default | with --subrepos
--------+---------------+----------------
commit: | commitsubrepo | True
status: | False | True
diff: | False | True
By changing the default from True to False, the table becomes
consistent in the two columns:
* without --subrepos on the command line, commit will abort if a
subrepo is dirty and status/diff wont show changes inside subrepos.
* with --subrepos, all three commands will recurse.
A --subrepos flag on the command line overrides the config settin.g
The [auth] section was ignored when handling URLs like:
http://user@example.com/foo
Instead, we look in [auth] for an entry matching the URL and supplied user
name. Entries without username can match URL with a username. Prefix length
ties are resolved in favor of entries matching the username. With:
foo.prefix = http://example.org
foo.username = user
foo.password = password
bar.prefix = http://example.org/bar
and the input URL:
http://user@example.org/bar
the 'bar' entry will be selected because of prefix length, therefore prompting
for a password. This behaviour ensure that entries selection is consistent when
looking for credentials or for certificates, and that certificates can be
picked even if their entries do no define usernames while the URL does.
Additionally, entries without a username matched against a username are
returned as if they did have requested username set to avoid prompting again
for a username if the password is not set.
v2: reparse the URL in readauthforuri() to handle HTTP and HTTPS similarly.
v3: allow unset usernames to match URL usernames to pick certificates. Resolve
prefix length ties in favor of entries with usernames.
Before: hgweb made it possible to download file content with a content type
detected from the file extension. It would serve .html files as text/html and
could thus cause XSS vulnerabilities if the web site had any kind of session
authorization and the repository content wasn't fully trusted.
Now: all files default to "application/binary", which all important
browsers will refuse to treat as text/html. See the table here:
https://code.google.com/p/browsersec/wiki/Part2#Survey_of_content_sniffing_behaviors
Without the blank line, the minirst parser renders

as

because the second term is seen as a paragraph.
Inspired by critique given on StackOverflow where a user writes:
I can have a good guess at what "%USERPROFILE%" might signify but
none of the files listed in the "hg help config" output exist after
running the installer. Previous experience would suggest that
missing files mean something somewhere has gone seriously wrong.

Remove the `install_package_data' subclass of `install_data' and use
the `package_data' functionality provided by distutils instead. As
package data must be located within the package directory, the data
files are now generated in the build directory.
To simplify the functionality of this change, the top-level `doc' and
`templates' directories have been moved into the `mercurial' package
directory.
