In testing of my recent addition of a debugignore command, some of my MacHg
users uncovered the exceptional case that if there is no ignore patterns of any
kind then a traceback occurred. Catch and fix this case.
Add missing calls to close() to many places where files are
opened. Relying on reference counting to catch them soon-ish is not
portable and fails in environments with a proper GC, such as PyPy.
For GUI clients its sometimes important to know which files will be ignored and
which files will be important. This allows the GUI client to skipping redoing a
'hg status' when the files are ignored but have changed. (For instance, a
typical case is that the "build" directory inside some project is ignored but
files in it frequently change.)
Filenames starting with a dot (.hg and .hgignore) confuse man when
creating the ps documentation with "man -t hg >hg.ps" if they are not
enclosed in back quotes.
The help for backout explains:
The backout command merges the reverse effect of the reverted
changeset into the working directory.
Unfortunately, that does not make it obvious to a newcomer what the
backout command does. Since it performs a 3-way merge, what is the
common ancestor? Will the result be automatically committed? What is
this reverted changeset --- is it the rev passed with -r on the
command line or its inverse?
So try to clarify the description, avoiding jargon and being
explicit about what happens from the user's perspective.
Thanks to Gilles Moris, Steve Borho, Kevin Bullock, and timeless for
help.
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.
Since it's usually only desirable to make tag commits on top of branch
heads, abort if the working dir parent is not a branch head. -f/--force
may be passed to commit at a non-head anyway.
Does not abort if working dir parent is a named branch head but not a
topological head.
This patch corrects the check for tagging on an uncommitted merge. We
should never commit a new tag changeset on an uncommitted merge, whether
or not --rev is specified. It also changes the error message from:
abort: cannot partially commit a merge (do not specify files or patterns)
to the much more accurate (and terse):
abort: uncommitted merge
Local tags are ok.
Invalid extensions in hgext/ could in some cases cause a crash when searching
for unknown commands in disabled extensions.
With this change we issue a warning if extracting commands from the extensions
fails. Traceback is available on request.

Previously, branch names were ideally manipulated as UTF-8 strings,
because they were stored as UTF-8 in the dirstate and the changelog
and could not be safely converted to the local encoding and back.
However, only about 80% of branch name code was actually using the
right encoding conventions. This patch uses the localstr addition to
allow working on branch names as local strings, which simplifies
handling so that the previously incorrect code becomes correct.
ui.forcemerge is set before calling into merge or resolve commands, then unset
to prevent ui pollution for further operations.
ui.forcemerge takes precedence over HGMERGE, but mimics HGMERGE behavior if the
given --tool is not found by the merge-tools machinery. This makes it possible
to do: hg resolve --tool="python mymerge.py" FILE
With this approach, HGMERGE and ui.merge are not harmed by --tool
HGMERGE has different semantics than ui.merge. HGMERGE should hold the name
on an executable in your path, or an absolute tool path. As such, it's not
safe to simply copy the user's specified --tool value into HGMERGE. Instead,
we disable HGMERGE by setting it to an empty string.
This changes backouts changeset to retain linear history, .e. it is committed
as a child of the working directory parent, not the reverted changeset
parent.
The default behavior was previously to just commit a reverted change as a
child of the backed out changeset - thus creating a new head. Most of
the time, you would use the --merge option, as it does not make sense to
keep this dangling head as is.
The previous behavior could be obtained by using 'hg update --clean .' after a
'hg backout --merge'.
The --merge option itself is not affected by this change. There is also
still an autocommit of the backout if a merge is not needed, i.e. in case
the backout is the parent of the working directory.
Previously we had (pwd = parent of the working directory):
pwd older
backout auto merge
backout --merge auto commit
With the new linear approach:
pwd older
backout auto commit
backout --merge auto commit
auto: commit done by the backout command
merge: backout also already committed but explicit merge and commit needed
commit: user need to commit the update/merge
