This warning exists to prevent git users from prematurely polluting
their namespace when trying out Mercurial. But for repos that already
have multiple branches, understanding what branches are is not
optional so we should just shut up.
Previously we would only actually write the revbranchcache to disk if we were in
the middle of a write operation (like commit). Now we will also write it during
any read operation. The cache knows how to invalidate itself, so it shouldn't
become corrupt if multiple writers try at once (and the write-on-read
behavior/risk is the same as all our other caches).
The revbranchecache code already handled the case when the cache file wasn't
writable, but let's add a test as well so future changes don't regress this.
The cache files are usually append only but will automatically be truncated and
recover in exceptional situations. Add a debug notice when such exceptional
situations are encountered.
The tests that were added with the revision branch cache in 6aa81b0c4658 had
suffered from bit rot in the development iterations. They were no longer that
"good".
Now, the tests are rewritten and reworked to be more readable and maintainable
and relevant for the actual implementation.
This also utilizes the new 'f' helper tool for keeping an eye the cache files.
Branch name filtering in revsets was expensive. For every rev it created a
changectx and called .branch() which retrieved the branch name from the
changelog.
Instead, use the revbranchcache.
The revbranchcache is used read-only. The revset implementation with generators
and callbacks makes it hard to figure out when we are done using/updating the
cache and could write it back. It would also be 'tricky' to lock the repo for
writing from within a revset execution. Finally, the branchmap update will
usually make sure that the cache is updated before any revset can be run.
The revbranchcache is used without any locking but is short-lived and used in a
tight loop where we can assume that the changelog doesn't change ... or where
it not is relevant to us if it does.

Before:
! wall 10.989637 comb 10.970000 user 10.940000 sys 0.030000 (best of 3)
After, no cache:
! wall 7.368656 comb 7.370000 user 7.360000 sys 0.010000 (best of 3)
After, with cache:
! wall 0.528098 comb 0.530000 user 0.530000 sys 0.000000 (best of 18)
The performance improvement even without cache come from being based on
branchinfo on the changelog instead of using ctx.branch().
Some tests are added to verify that the revbranchcache works and keep an eye on
when the cache files actually are updated.
You can't close a branch that hasn't got a head.
newbranch + commit --close-branch must fail
newbranch + commit + commit --amend --close-branch must fail
You must not be allowed to close a branch that is not defined.
Because dirstate._branch() strips leading/trailing spaces from .hg/branch,
"hg branch ' foo '" should abort if branch "foo" exists in another head.
tag command had a similar bug and fixed by 11d102903884.
Backout 308a153b9120. The changeset prevented closing non-head changesets but
did not provide any rationale or test case and I don't see what value it adds.
Users might have their reasons to commit something anywhere - and close it
immediately.
And contrary to the comment that is removed: The topo heads set is _not_
included in the branch heads set of the current branch. It do not include
closed topological heads.
The change thus prevented closing commits on top of closing commits. A valid
usecase for that is to merge closed heads to reduce the number of topological
heads.
The only existing test coverage for this is the failing double close in
test-revset.t. It was added in dc0e42c06b4e and seems to not be intentional.
Starting with 049792af94d6, users are no longer able to update a
working copy to a branch named with a "bad" character (such as ':').
Prior to v2.4, it was possible to create branch names using "bad"
characters, so this breaks backwards compatibility.
Mercurial must allow users to update to existing branches with bad
names. However, it should continue to prevent the creation of new
branches with bad names.
A test was added to confirm that 'hg update' works as expected. The
test uses a bundled repo that was created with an earlier version of
Mercurial.
This factors out the checks from tags and bookmarks, and newly applies
the same prohibitions to branches. checknewlabel takes a new parameter,
kind, indicating the kind of label being checked.
Test coverage is added for all three types of labels.
Many tests didn't change back from subdirectories at the end of the tests ...
and they don't have to. The missing 'cd ..' could always be added when another
test case is added to the test file.
This change do that tests (99.5%) consistently end up in $TESTDIR where they
started, thus making it simpler to extend them or move them around.
This speeds up the in-memory version of debugbuilddag that I'm
working on considerably for the case where we want to build just
a 00changelog.i (for discovery tests, for instance).
There are a couple of test changes because node ids in tests
have changed.
The changes to the patch names in test-mq-qdelete.t were required
because they could collide with nodeid abbreviations and newly
actually do (patch "c" collides with id "cafe..." for patch "b").
Using terminfo instead of hard-coding ECMA-48 control sequences provides a
greater assurance that the terminal codes are correct for the current
terminal type; not everything supports the ANSI escape codes.
It also allows us to use a wider range of colors when a terminal emulator
supports it (such as 16- or 256-color xterm), and a few more non-color
attributes, such as the ever-popular blink.
This commit updates the branches command to use ui.label for the branch names
and the changeset. This implementation allows assigning colors to the four
states of a branch: active, closed, current and inactive. While you can
configure color for the four states, only current and closed have default colors
of green and black bold respectively.
