Before, running 'hg archive -S' could result in
abort: unknown revision '65903cebad86f1a84bd4f1134f62fa7dcb7a1c98'!
if a subrepo was missing completely or had missing changesets. Now,
the missing changesets will be pulled or cloned as appropriate.
This make Mercurial subrepos match Git subrepos which already took
care to fetch any missing commits before starting the archive.
This fixes a regression introduced with the new url handling in 1.9.
This should perhaps be fixed in the url class instead, but that might be too
invasive for a stable bugfix.
A Subversion subrepo checkout uses a url and --revision which does not do the
correct thing when specifying a revision of a branch that has since been
deleted and recreated. The checkout needs to specify the revision as URL@REV
instead.
We do this by ensuring the working copy is clean and then blowing away
the working copy and replacing it with one from the desired path. We
could probably use 'svn switch' to do this more efficiently, but
there's some subtle logic required to get that right and this is
more likely to work reliably.
Currently, if there is a bare git subrepo, but it is at the "right"
revision, calling dirty() will error because diff-index does not work
on bare repos. This patch makes it so bare subrepos are always
considered dirty.
With Python >= 2.6 the original code already works correct, therefore the
fix for issue2556 on Python <= 2.5 broke relative subrepositories with
newer versions of Python.
This happens more often than expected. Say you have an svn subrepository with
python code. Python would have generated unknown .pyc files. Now, you rebase
this setup on a revision where a directory containing python code does not
exist. Subversion is first asked to remove this directory when updating, but
will not because it contains untracked items. Then it will have to bring back
the directory after the merge but will fail because it now collides with an
untracked directory.
Using --force is not very elegant and only works with svn >= 1.5 but the only
alternative I can think of is to write our own purge command for subversion.

This changes the prompts on git subrepos to show only the first seven
digits of git changeset IDs (as git's command line does):
$ hg update
subrepository sources for s differ (in checked out version)
use (l)ocal source (32a3438) or (r)emote source (da5f5b1)?
Consider a repository with a single subrepository. The changesets in
the main repository reference the subrepository changesets like this:
m0 -> s0
m1 -> s1
m2 -> s2
Starting from a state (m1, s0), doing 'hg update m2' in the main
repository will yield a conflict: the subrepo is at revision s0 but
the target revision says it should be at revision s2.
Before this change, Mercurial would do (m1, s0) -> (m2, s2) and thus
ignore the conflict between the working copy and the target revision.
With this change, the user is prompted to resolve the conflict by
choosing which revision he wants. This is consistent with 'hg merge',
which also prompts the user when it detects conflicts in the merged
.hgsubstate files.
The prompt looks like this:
$ hg update tip
subrepository sources for my-subrepo differ
use (l)ocal source (fc627a69481f) or (r)emote source (12a213df6fa9)?
This makes 'hg update --clean' behave the same way for both kinds of
subrepositories. Before Subversion subrepos did not take the clean
parameter into account, but just updated to the given revision and
merged uncommitted changes into that.
A subversion project revisions are a subset of the repository revisions, you
can ask subversion to update a working directory from one revision to another
without changing anything. Unfortunately, Mercurial will think the
subrepository has changed and will commit it again. To avoid useless commits,
we compare the subrepository state to its actual "parent" revision. To ensure
ascending compatibility with existing subrepositories which might reference
fake revisions, we also keep comparing with the subrepo working directory
revision.
NOTE: not sure if this should go in stable or not.
Just a little change to bring the comments in the dirty() methods of the
various subrepo classes into a uniform structure. This clarifies the
meaning of the states checked.
This makes 'hg update --clean' behave the same way for all three kinds
of subrepositories [hg, svn, git]. Before git subrepos did not take
the clean parameter into account, but just updated to the given
revision and merged uncommitted changes into that.
This patch conforms gitsubrepo code to the variable naming scheme of the other
subrepo implementations. All user-facing path references should be relative
to the root repository.
