If the working dir parent was destroyed by rollback, then the old
behaviour is perfectly reasonable: restore dirstate, branch, and
bookmarks. That way the working dir moves back to an existing
changeset rather than becoming an orphan.
But if the working dir parent was unaffected -- say, you updated to an
older changeset and then did rollback -- then it's silly to restore
dirstate and branch. So don't do that. Leave the status of the working
dir alone. (But always restore bookmarks, because that file refers to
changeset IDs that may have been destroyed.)
The main intent is to turn the reference help into a configuration walkthrough.
It also fix several things:
- Do not suggest to use it for commit notifications, it cannot work
- Fix notify.strip default value
- Mention that subscriptions can be setup in Mercurial configuration files
- Improve notify.strip and notify.domain documentation
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").
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)
It tries to convert localstr to unicode before truncating.
Because we cannot assume that the given text is encoded in local encoding,
it falls back to raw string in case of unicode error.
