Unknown requirements will now be reported as:
abort: repository requires features unknown to this Mercurial: largefiles!
(see http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MissingRequirement for more information)
Some features of this phrasing:
* avoid double ':' in abort message
* make it more clear who requires and knows what
* don't quote the requirement names - it is not something the user entered or
need the exact spelling of ... and it is "identifiers" that are unambiguous
anyway
* remove double hint by removing "(upgrade Mercurial)" comment
* don't mention upgrading Mercurial without mentioning enabling the feature -
instead, just refer to wiki page for both
* don't just talk about "details", talk about "more information"
The wiki page is intended to describe several solution to the requirement issue.
Some of those solutions does not involve upgrading mercurial. That is very
useful for people that can't easily upgrade they Mercurial in some place.
Before this patch, all localrepositories support same features,
because supported features are managed by the class variable
"supported" of "localrepository".
For example, "largefiles" feature provided by largefiles extension is
recognized as supported, by adding the feature name to "supported" of
"localrepository".
So, commands handling multiple repositories at a time like below
misunderstand that such features are supported also in repositories
not enabling corresponded extensions:
- clone/pull from or push to localhost
- recursive execution in subrepo tree
"reposetup()" can't be used to fix this problem, because it is invoked
after checking whether supported features satisfy ones required in the
target repository.
So, this patch adds the set object named as "featuresetupfuncs" to
"localrepository" to manage hook functions to setup supported features
of each repositories.
If any functions are added to "featuresetupfuncs", they are invoked,
and information about supported features is managed in each
repositories individually.
This patch also adds checking below:
- pull from localhost: whether features supported in the local(= dst)
repository satisfies ones required in the remote(= src)
- push to localhost: whether features supported in the remote(= dst)
repository satisfies ones required in the local(= src)
Managing supported features by the class variable means that there is
no difference of supported features between each instances of
"localrepository" in the same Python process, so such checking is not
needed before this patch.
Even with this patch, if intermediate bundlefile is used as pulling
source, pulling indirectly from the remote repository, which requires
features more than ones supported in the local, can't be prevented,
because bundlefile has no information about "required features" in it.
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.
Many tests fixed the commit date of their changesets at '1000000 0' or
similar. However testing with "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970 +0000" is not
better than testing with "Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000", which is
the default run-tests.py installs.
Removing the unnecessary flag removes some clutter and will hopefully
make it clearer what the tests are really trying to test. Some tests
did not even change their output when the dates were changed, in which
case the -d flag was truly irrelevant.
Dates used in sequence (such as '0 0', '1 0', etc...) were left alone
since they may make the test easier to understand.
