Add [merge-tool] hgrc section with:
<tool>.executable = name or path (<tool>)
<tool>.args = args with $local/base/other/output ($local $base $other)
<tool>.priority = priority (default 0)
<tool>.binary = handles binary (False)
<tool>.symlink = handles symlinks (False)
<tool>.checkconflict = check for conflict markers (False)
<tool>.premerge = try internal simplemerge (True if not binary or symlink)
Four built-in tools: internal:{merge,local,other,fail}
Add [merge-patterns] section of the form:
<pattern> = <tool>
Priority of settings is:
HGMERGE
merge-patterns
ui:merge
merge-tools by priority
hgmerge, if it can be found
Changes:
unsuccessful merges leave .orig files
We'd mistakenly made the -p option always on, which meant there was no
way to turn it off. It also meant that we were sometimes splitting
multibyte characters in function name, which isn't a good default.
(including small changes to revert and backout to not show these stats
with the exception of backout --merge)
Show update stats (unless -q), e.g.:
K files updated, L files merged, M files removed, N files unresolved
Inform the user what to do after a merge:
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
Inform the user what to do if a branch merge failed:
There are unresolved merges, you can redo the full merge using:
hg update -C X
hg merge Y
Inform the user what to do if a working directory merge failed:
There are unresolved merges with locally modified files.
new version does these things:
- saves backup copies of modified files (issue 147)
- prints output like other commands, and errors when files not found
(issue 123)
- marks files added/removed (issue 93)
Some systems show "Thu Jan 01" instead of "Thu Jan 1", which breaks tests.
Using "1000000" yields "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970", which looks the same on
all systems.
The dirstate has to match what is in the repository (what would be
checked out with 'hg update -C'), because the resulting file may be
identical to the new parent, or it may be completely different.
Previously the dirstate wasn't updated, so if you changed the file to
look like the original parent, it might be considered unmodified
relative to the new parent.
