Summary:
The helper could be used in individual tests to enable chg if chg exists.
This allows us to have more precise control on what tests to use chg instead
of using a global flag in run-tests.py.
This makes certain tests containing many hg commands much faster. For example,
`test-revset.t` took 99 seconds before:
% ./run-tests.py test-revset.t --time
.
# Ran 1 tests, 0 skipped, 0 failed.
# Producing time report
start end cuser csys real Test
0.000 99.990 86.410 12.000 99.990 test-revset.t
And 10 seconds after:
% ./run-tests.py test-revset.t --time
.
# Ran 1 tests, 0 skipped, 0 failed.
# Producing time report
start end cuser csys real Test
0.000 10.080 0.380 0.130 10.080 test-revset.t
Also enable it for some other tests. Note the whitelist is not complete. We
probably want to whitelist more tests in the future.
The feature could be opted out by deleting `contrib/chg/chg`.

Bare 'hg update' now brings you to the tipmost descendant (on the same branch).
Leaving the user on the same topological branch. The previous behavior, updating
to the tipmost changeset on the same branch could lead to jump from a
topological branch to another. This was confusing and impractical. As the only
conceivable reason for the old behavior have been address by the recently
introduce message about other heads, we can "safely" change this behavior
All test changes have been reviewed and seen a valid consequences.
A concern around the user experience of Mercurial is user getting stuck on there
own topological branch forever. For example, someone pulling another topological
branch, missing that message in pull asking them to merge and getting stuck on
there own local branch.
The current way to "address" this concern was for bare 'hg update' to target the
tipmost (also latest pulled) changesets and complain when the update was not
linear. That way, failure to merge newly pulled changesets would result in some
kind of failure.
Yet the failure was quite obscure, not working in all cases (eg: commit right
after pull) and the behavior was very impractical in the common case
(eg: issue4673).
To be able to change that behavior, we need to provide other ways to alert a
user stucks on one of many topological head. We do so with an extra message after
bare update:
1 other heads for branch "default"
Bookmark get its own special version:
1 other divergent bookmarks for "foobar"
There is significant room to improve the message itself, and we should augment
it with hint about how to see theses other heads or handle the situation (see
in-line comment). But having "a" message is already a significant improvement
compared to the existing situation. Once we have it we can iterate on a better
version of it. As having such message is an important step toward changing the
default destination for update and other nicety, I would like to move forward
quickly on getting such message.
This was discussed during London - October 2015 Sprint.
The '-y' in 'hg update -y' was once needed to answer questions about
modify/delete conflicts. That is no longer needed, so remove the '-y'
and the comment justifying its use.
Previously, the error message for a dirty non-linear update was the same (and
relatively unhelpful) whether or not a rev was specified. This patch and an
upcoming one will introduce separate, more helpful hints.
Previously, pull would not update if new branch heads were received,
whereas pull && update would move to the tipmost branch head.
Also change the "crosses branches" abort in merge.update from
"crosses branches (merge branches or use --check to force update)"
to
"crosses branches (merge branches or update --check to force update)"
since it can no longer assume the user is running hg update.
When using "hg update" to update to a revision on another branch, if
the user has uncommitted changes in the working directory, hg aborts
with the following message:
abort: crosses branches (use 'hg merge' to merge or use 'hg update
-C' to discard changes)
If the user isn't trying to update to tip and they follow the command
examples verbatim, they would end up updating to the wrong revision.
This patch removes the command examples in favor of just telling the
user to either merge or use --clean:
abort: crosses branches (merge branches or use --clean to discard
changes)
hg also aborts if the user tries to use "hg update" to get to tip
(without specifying a revision) and tip is on another branch:
abort: crosses branches (use 'hg merge' or use 'hg update -c')
This message is changed in the same fashion:
abort: crosses branches (merge branches or use --check to force
update)
- no need to initialize a new directory
- no need to fix the commit time, already done by run-tests
- no need to exit 0, use exit code from hg instead
- better spacing around comments
When doing "hg update" across branches (without any revision
specified), hg will abort and ask the user to merge or do hg update
-c. This tests for that error.
