I have made a help topic for merge tools. The text in the topic is
based on the http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MergeProgram page from
the wiki, along with some extra information on the internal merge tools.
Mads Kiilerich pointed out that 1e4ade283b02 was too eager since the
prefix and password keys may contain $-signs. So this only add the
username to the list of keys that are expanded.
This also updates the documentation to match.
python hooks are passed two new keyword arguments:
- opts: a dict of options; unsepcified options are set to their default
- pats: a list of arguments
shell hooks receive two new variables containing string representations
of the above data:
- $HG_OPTS
- $HG_PATS
for example, the opts and pats for 'hg -f v1.1' would be:
{'force': True, 'message': '', 'rev': '', 'user': '', 'date': '', 'local': None, 'remove': None, 'mq': None}
['v1.1']
tool.check is a list of check options, and can be used in place of
tool.checkchanged and tool.checkconflicts:
Equivalences:
tool.checkchanged = yes
tool.checkconflicts = no
tool.check = changed
tool.checkchanged = no
tool.checkconflicts = yes
tool.check = conflicts
tool.checkchanged = yes
tool.checkconflicts = yes
tool.check = changed, conflicts
Add _toollist() wrapper for ui.configlist() to implement this consistently.
checkchanged and checkconflicts are still supported, but check is
preferred for implementing new check options.
Several places that use ui.configlist, predominantly in authentication
scenarios need to interface with systems that can contain spaces in usernames
(e.g. when client certificates are usernames, or Windows usernames).
This changeset introduces a parser that supports quoting of strings, and
escape quotation marks that get decoded into a single quotation mark that
adopts the usual behavior one would expect from quoting strings. The Python
library shlex module is not used, on purpose, as that raises if it cannot
match quotation marks in the given input.
The 'NOTE: bla bla' syntax was for asciidoc and is still present in a
couple of docstrings. The docstrings will be converted to reST format
when minirst knows how to handle it.
