Useful for creating XML documents directly from Hg logging. Can also be used for
HTML. For use in content, will escape '&', '<', and for completeness '>'
(although it is not strictly necessary). For use in attributes, will also escape
' and ". Will also replace nonprinting (ASCII) control characters with spaces,
since these are illegal in XML.
- eluding convert.svn.branches defaults to "branches"
- convert.svn.branches= disables branches detection
- convert.svn.branches=/ is equivalent to former convert.svn.branches=
Currently, backout is creating a backout revision as a child node of the
backed out node and will leave you at this new head. This has several
drawbacks:
* this changes the current head
* when there is a long history between the backed out node and the
current head, this will generate a huge number of diffs that are scary
at first sight, and not very natural to review before commit.
The change consists to switch back to the original node as soon as the
backout node (which becomes the new tip) has been created. Then the
--merge option can just merge this new tip in the current node.
* the current head/node is not changed from the user's point of view
* even without using the --merge option, the backout revision is still
easy to locate, as this is the tip
* the merge is much more intuitive as diffs of the merge is right you
are looking to backout
We might be able to do something smarter about this in dirstate.status
for files in normallookup state, but that would require some extra
care to keep backwards compatibility.
These two commands care about the list of modified files returned
by repo.status and we may need to do a full content comparison to
populate that list.
test-glog uses debugsetparents instead of update+merge to create
some funky DAGs, and so the dirstate contents won't be consistent
with the checked out revision.
Passing an explicit list of files to commit reduces a bit the
dependency on the dirstate.
Using a non-deprecated rawcommit might be better here.
The protocol functions are already pretty careful about not raising
exceptions to the caller, and have their own error handling. We can formalize
this a little bit to make it clearer (before, the exception handlers for
a limited number of exceptions coming from the interface bits would blow up
because some variables aren't instantiated for the protocol calls).
In the kernel repo (tip = 2b89f7111b96), a "hg grep mpm MAINTAINERS" goes
from ~165s to 0.7s. This could get even a bit faster if we broke out of
the loop after the first match, but I'm not sure how that would interact
with the --follow code.
This is obviously an extreme example, but other cases should also benefit
from this patch.
If there's no inline data, revlog.revision opens the data file every
time it's called. This is useful if we're going to call chunk many
times, but, if we're going to call it only once, it's better to let
chunk open the file - if we're lucky, all the data we're going to need
is already cached and we won't need to even look at the file.
In particular: if invoked without -R from a CWD not inside a repo, having been
passed one or more file paths as command arguments, where the nearest enclosing
repo of all of those paths is the same, quietly infer a -R option for that repo.
Otherwise abort with an error message as before.
