This extension has always had correctness issues and has been
unmaintained for years. It is now removed in favor of the third-party
hgwatchman which is maintained and appears to be correct.
Users with inotify enabled in their config files will fall back to
standard status performance.

left test-http.t failing on Python < 2.4.3. That has not been noticed because
most 2.4 testing has been done with a patched 2.4.2.
This makes sure that the tests only are run for Python >= 2.4.3. That makes it
possible to verify that everything else works with Python 2.4.
This adds a new root hghave to test against. Almost all of these are a
subset of unix-permissions, but that is also used for checking exec
bit handling.
This patch adds "py3k" feature to check whether test runs with Python
3.x.
This check is needed for portability of test code: for example, in the
default, modules are imported relatively first with python 2.x, but
imported absolutely with Python 3.x.
This patch adds "absimport" feature to check whether "absolute_import"
exists in __future__, which means supporting module loading by
absolute name.
This check is needed for portability of test code using
"absolute_import", because Python earlier than 2.5 doesn't support it.
test-dirstate.t fails on AIX in the absurd date test. AIX touch errors on
any date prior to 1970. AIX mktime() gives an error on such dates, so the
problem is deeper than touch and attempts to work around touch in Python
failed.
Give up. Add an AIX test to hghave and skip the absurd date test on AIX.
svn --version --quiet is implemented since svn 0.14.1 (August 2002)
and prints just the version number, not the long output (21 lines)
of "svn --version".
Additionally I expect this output format to be more stable, at least
it is not changed with different translations.
Tests using "hg serve --daemon" are currently disabled on Windows for
lack of proper kill utility. The one shipped with MinGW operates on
internal process identifiers and not on the ones recorded by hg serve.
Fortunately we can replace most of them by calls to killdaemons.py.
This patch is a proof of concept on how to run these tests on Windows.
The plan is:
- Check test-http-branchmap.t does not fail/hang on the buildbot
- Convert all kill utility calls to killdaemons.py calls.
- Add a rule in check-code.py to forbid kill calls, or ignore the
remaining ones (test-hup.t, etc.).
- Possibly drop the 'serve' rule from hghave.
The:
listening at http://*:$HGPORT1/
line does not appear on Windows because the detached process can no
longer write on its parent streams. Grepping hg serve stdout directly
causes the parent process to never return and hangs the test. This is a
bug, but I have no simple solution and prefer to pay this small price
and enable hg serve tests on Windows.
