Having sections for specific operator types assumes the user already knows what
type of operators are supported. By having a common heading, the user can
simply lookup help for "(revsets|filesets|templates).operators".
The termwidth template keyword is of limited use without some way to ensure
that margins are respected.
Provide a full set of arithmetic operators (four basic operations plus the
mod function, defined to match Python's // for division), so that you can
create termwidth based layouts that match the user's terminal size
We already support multiple primitive for listing files, which were
affected by the current changeset.
This patch adds files() which returns files of the current changeset
matching a given pattern or fileset query via the "set:" prefix.
V2:
- move from shortest() with minlength 8 to minlength 4
- mention [templates] in config.txt
- better describe the difference between [templatealias] and [templates]
V3:
- choose a better example template
A pretty common pattern in templates is adding conditional separators
like so:
{node}{if(bookmarks, " {bookmarks}")}{if(tags, " {tags}")}
With this patch, the above can be simplified to:
{separate(" ", node, bookmarks, tags)}
The function is similar to the already existing join(), but with a few
differences:
* separate() skips empty arguments
* join() expects a single list argument, while separate() expects
each item as a separate argument
* separate() takes the separator first in order to allow a variable
number of arguments after it
Now template aliases are fully supported in log and formatter templates.
As I said before, aliases are not expanded in map files. This avoids possible
corruption of our stock styles and web templates. This behavior is undocumented
since no map file nor [templates] section are documented at all. Later on,
we might want to add [aliases] section to map files if it appears to be useful.
This allows the latest class of tag to be found, such as a release candidate or
final build, instead of just the absolute latest.
It doesn't appear that the existing keyword can be given an optional argument.
There is a keyword, function and filter for 'date', so it doesn't seem harmful
to introduce a new function with the same name as an existing keyword. Most
functions are pretty Mercurial agnostic, but there is {revset()} as precedent.
Even though templatekw.getlatesttags() returns a single tuple, one entry of
which is a list, it is simplest to present this as a list of tags instead of a
single item, with each tag having a distance and change count attribute. It is
also closer to how {latesttag} returns a list of tags, and how this function
works when not given a '%' operator.
Because revset() function generates a list of revisions, it seems sensible
to switch the ctx as well where a list expression will be evaluated. I think
"{revset(...) % "..."}" expression wasn't considered well when it was
introduced at 45e0e191755f.
The keyword extension uses "utcdate" for a different function, so we can't
add new "utcdate" filter or function. Instead, this patch extends "localdate"
to a general timezone converter.
This patch series is intended to unify the interpretation of string literals.
It is breaking change that boldly assumes
a. string literal "..." never contains template-like fragment or it is
intended to be a template
b. we tend to use raw string literal r"..." for regexp pattern in which "{"
should have different meaning
Currently, we don't have a comprehensible rule how string literals are
evaluated in template functions. For example, fill() takes "initialindent"
and "hangindent" as templates, but not for "text", whereas "text" is a
template in pad() function.
date(date, fmt)
diff(includepattern, excludepattern)
fill(text, width, initialident: T, hangindent: T)
get(dict, key)
if(expr, then: T, else: T)
ifcontains(search, thing, then: T, else: T)
ifeq(expr1, expr2, then: T, else: T)
indent(text, indentchars, firstline)
join(list, sep)
label(label: T, expr: T)
pad(text: T, width, fillchar, right)
revset(query, formatargs...])
rstdoc(text, style)
shortest(node, minlength)
startswith(pattern, text)
strip(text, chars)
sub(pattern, replacement, expression: T)
word(number, text, separator)
expr % template: T
T: interpret "string" or r"rawstring" as template
This patch series adjusts the rule as follows:
a. string literal, '' or "", starts template processing (BC)
b. raw string literal, r'' or r"", disables both \-escape and template
processing (BC, done by subsequent patches)
c. fragment not surrounded by {} is non-templated string
"ccc{'aaa'}{r'bbb'}"
------------------ *: template
--- c: string
--- a: template
--- b: rawstring
Because this can eliminate the compilation of template arguments from the
evaluation phase, "hg log -Tdefault" gets faster.
% cd mozilla-central
% LANG=C HGRCPATH=/dev/null hg log -Tdefault -r0:10000 --time > /dev/null
before: real 4.870 secs (user 4.860+0.000 sys 0.010+0.000)
after: real 3.480 secs (user 3.440+0.000 sys 0.030+0.000)
Also, this will allow us to parse nested templates at once for better error
indication.
Today, the terms 'active' and 'current' are interchangeably used throughout the
codebase in reference to the active bookmark (the bookmark that will be updated
with the next commit). This leads to confusion among developers and users.
This patch is part of a series to standardize the usage to 'active' throughout
the mercurial codebase and user interface.
"diff" allows to embed changes in the target revision into template
output, even if the command itself doesn't take "--patch" option
Combination of "[committemplate]" configuration and "diff" template
function can achieve the feature like issue231 ("option to have diff
displayed in commit editor buffer")
http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231
For example, templating below can be used to add each "diff" output
lines "HG: " prefix::
{splitlines(diff) % 'HG: {line}\n'}
This patch implements "diff" not as "a template keyword" but as "a
template function" to take include/exclude patterns at runtime.
It allows to specify target files of command (by -I/-X command line
options) and "diff" separately.
This function allows returning only the nth "word" from a string. By default
a string is split as by Python's split() function default, but an optional
third parameter can also override what string the string is split by.
This function returns a string only if it starts with a given string.
It is particularly useful when combined with splitlines and/or used with
conditionals that fail when empty strings are passed in to take action
based on the contents of a line.
This is useful for applying changes to each line, and it's especially powerful
when used in conjunction with conditionals to modify lines based on content.
There is a new style called phases style.
Usage::
hg log --style phases
Why do we need this new style - in what way is it different from or similar to
existing styles?
The new style is default + phases information. With the new phases feature the
users exhibited their desire for a new style that could help them.
Why do this need a new style - couldn't it be folded into an existing style?
The default style and the new one are about the same, the difference is the
phases tag. The users find both styles useful, this means that the both styles
must exist.
Now that the field list indentation is computed automatically, we no
longer need to align all fields the same. Using a simple hanging
indent makes it easy to edit the text in an editor like Emacs, which
will automatically recognized the hang and keep it.
The fields are still output with no blank lines between them.
Before this, to display file copies in templates, you had to write something
like {file_copies%filecopy}. For some reason, the {file_copy} subtemplate was
used by default but not defined by default in changeset_templater, while styles
were already using it. Here we define {file_copy} in changeset_templater, and
change the templater to handle formatting strings like {file_copies%filecopy}
with already expanded keys (in this case {file_copies}), for backward
compatibility.
Remove the `install_package_data' subclass of `install_data' and use
the `package_data' functionality provided by distutils instead. As
package data must be located within the package directory, the data
files are now generated in the build directory.
To simplify the functionality of this change, the top-level `doc' and
`templates' directories have been moved into the `mercurial' package
directory.
