'export' is the official export format and used by patchbomb, but it would only
show date as a timestamp that most humans might find it hard to relate to. It
would be very convenient when reviewing a patch to be able to see what
timestamp the patch will end up with.
Mercurial has always used util.parsedate for parsing these headers. It can
handle 'all' date formats, so we could just as well use a readable one.
'export' will now use the format used by 'log' - which is the format described
as 'Unix date format' in the templating help. We assume that all parsers of '#
HG changeset patch'es can handle that.
Some tests ended up in a directory several directories deeper than $TESTTMP,
usually because some 'cd ..' had been forgotten between different test cases.
Add 'cd ..' where they are missing so the tests get back where they started.
Since f7e538c3b7ba, if a chunk starts with "@@ -0,1", oldstart turns into
a negative value. Because diffhelpers.testhunk() doesn't expect negative bstart,
it bypasses "alen > blen - bstart" condition and segfaults at
"PyList_GET_ITEM(b, i + bstart)".
The previous code was assuming a default context of 3 lines. When fuzzing, it
would take this value in account to reduce the amount of removed line from
hunks top or bottom. For instance, if a hunk has only 2 lines of bottom
context, fuzzing with fuzz=1 would do nothing and with fuzz=2 it would remove
one of those lines. A hunk with one line of bottom context could not be fuzzed
at all. patch(1) has apparently no such restrictions and takes the fuzz level
at face value.
- test-import.t: fuzz/offset changes at the beginning of file are explained by
the new fuzzing behaviour and match patch(1) ones. Patching locations are
different but those of my patch(1) do not make a lot of sense right now
(patched output are the same)
- test-import-bypass.t: more agressive fuzzing makes a patching supposed to
fail because of context, succeed. Change the diff to avoid this.
- test-mq-merge.t: more agressive fuzzing would allow the merged patch to apply
with fuzz, but fortunately we disallow this behaviour. The new output is
kept.
I have not enough experience with patch(1) fuzzing to know whether aligning our
implementation on it is a good or bad idea. Until now, it has been the
implementation reference. For instance, "qpush" tolerates fuzz (test-mq-merge.t
runs the special case of pushing merge revisions where fuzzing is forbidden).
When applying hunks such as:
@@ -2,1 +2,2 @@
context
+change
fuzzing would empty the "old" block and make patchfile.apply() traceback.
Instead, we apply the new block at specified location without testing.
The "bottom hunk" test was removed as patch(1) has no problem applying hunk
with no context in the middle of a file.
There is no reason to discard copy sources from the set of files considered by
addremove(). It was done to handle the case where a first patch would create
'a' and a second one would move 'a' to 'b'. If these patches were applied with
--no-commit, 'a' would first be marked as added, then unlinked and dropped from
the dirstate but still passed to addremove(). A better fix is thus to exclude
removed files which ends being dropped from the dirstate instead of removed.

Prior to this patch "hg diff -U0", i.e., zero lines of context, would
output hunk headers with a start line one greater than what GNU patch
and git output. Guido van Rossum documents the unified diff format[1]
as having a start line value "one lower than one would expect" for
zero length hunks.
Comparing the behaviour of the three systems prior to this patch in
transforming
c1
c3
to
c1
c2
c3
- GNU "diff -U0" reports the hunk as "@@ -1,0 +2 @@"
- "git diff -U0" reports the hunk as "@@ -1,0 +2 @@"
- "hg diff -U0" reports the hunk as "@@ -2,0 +2,1 @@"
After this patch, "hg diff -U0" reports "@@ -1,0 +2,1 @@".
Since "hg export --config diff.unified=0" outputs zero-context unified
diffs, "hg import" has also been updated to account for start lines
one less than expected for zero length hunk ranges.

Now 'rollback' after 'import' is less surprising: it rolls back all of
the imported changesets, not just the last one. As an extra added
benefit, you don't need 'rollback -f' after 'import --bypass', which
was an undesired side effect of fixing issue2998 (f9f52d71c33b)..
Note that this is a different take on issue963, which complained that
rollback after importing multiple patches returned the working dir
parent to the starting point, not to the second-last patch applied.
Since we now rollback the entire import, returning the working dir to
the starting point is entirely logical. So this change also undoes
b12d79024900, the fix to issue963, and updates its tests accordingly.
Bottom line: rollback after import was weird before issue963,
understandable since the fix for issue963, and even better now.
The old code printed (with ui.status()) the changeset ID created by
patch N after committing patch N+1, e.g.
applying patch1
applying patch2
applied 1d4bd90af0e4
where 1d4bd90af0e4 is the changeset ID resulting from patch1. That's
just weird. It's also inconsistent: we only reported the changeset ID
when applying >1 patches. And it's inconsistent with 'commit', which
only tells you the new changeset ID in verbose mode. Finally, the
existing code was I18N-hostile, since it concatenated translated
strings.
The new way is to print the just-created changeset ID with ui.note()
immediately after committing it. It also clarifies what the user
message is for easier I18N.
git patches may require copies to be handled out-of-order. For instance, take
the following sequence:
* modify a
* copy a into b
Here, we have to generate b from a before its modification. To do so,
applydiff() was scanning for copy metadata and performing the copies before
processing the other changes in-order. While smart and efficient, this approach
complicates things by handling file copies and file creations at different
places and times. While a new file must not exist before being patched a copied
file already exists before applying the first hunk.
Instead of copying the files at their final destination before patching, we
store them in a temporary file location and retrieve them when patching. The
filestore always stores file content in real files but nothing prevents adding
a cache layer. The filestore class was kept separate from fsbackend for at
least two reasons:
- This class is likely to be reused as a temporary result store for a future
repository patching call (entries just have to be extended to contain copy
sources).
- Delegating this role to backends might be more efficient in a repository
backend case: the source files are already available in the repository itself
and do not need to be copied again. It also means that third-parties backend
would have to implement two other methods. If we ever decide to merge the
filestore feature into backend, a minimalistic approach would be to compose
with filestore directly. Keep in mind this copy overhead only applies for
copy/rename sources, and may even be reduced to copy sources which have to
handled ahead of time.
Previously, when rolling back a transaction, some users could be confused
between the level to which the store is rolled back, and the new parents
of the working directory.
$ hg rollback
rolling back to revision 4 (undo commit)
With this change:
$ hg rollback
repository tip rolled back to tip revision 4 (undo commit)
working directory now based on revision 2 and 1
So now the user can realize that the store has been rolled back to an older
tip, but also that the working directory may not on the tip (here we are
rolling back the merge of the heads 2 and 1)
When issuing `hg pull -r REV` in a repo with no common ancestor with the
remote repo, the message 'requesting all changes' is printed, even though only
the changese that are ancestors of REV are actually requested. This can be
confusing for users (see
http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2010-October/035508.html).
This silences the message if (and only if) the '-r' option was passed.
