Adds new web command to the core, ``comparison``, which enables colorful
side-by-side change display, which for some might be much easier to work with
than the standard line diff output. The idea how to implement comes from the
SonicHq extension.
The web interface gets a new link to call the comparison functionality. It lets
users configure the amount of context lines around change blocks, or to show
full files - check help (also in this changeset) for details and defaults. The
setting in hgrc can be overridden by adding ``context=<value>`` to the request
query string. The comparison creates addressable lines, so as to enable sharing
links to specific lines, just as standard diff does.
Incorporates updates to all web related styles.
Known limitations:
* the column diff is done against the first parent, just as the standard diff
* this change allows examining diffs for single files only (as I am not sure if
examining the whole changeset in this way would be helpful)
* syntax highlighting of the output changes is not performed (enabling the
highlight extension has no influence on it)
- Avoid flipping lineWidth state around the edge() call, pass it to the
function instead.
- Pass the line width and color appended to the other parameters instead of in
a dictionary. The javascript code is simpler, no need to check for all
containers existence, and the JSON output is smaller.
- Reindent setColor() comments and fix code spacing.
All implementation in graph.tmpl are the same. It can still be overriden if
necessary. There is no clear reason to keep it separated from mercurial.js.
You can specify color to visually distinguish main branch (trunk)
on hgweb's graph page. If color specified, all branch heads will share
same color. Settings format is branch_name.color = value, where color
is six hexadecimal digits e.g.:
[graph]
default.color = FF0000
You can specify width to visually distinguish main branch (trunk)
on hgweb's graph page. Settings format is branch_name.width = value,
where width in px e.g.:
[graph]
default.width = 3
Displayed in a row of the changeset summary table, underneath the list of
files. When the page is loaded, only the diff summary is displayed. The full
diffstat is only displayed when the [+] link is selected.
The templates output the filename, the total number of changes to the file
and a bar graph of the adds and removes. The filename is a link into the diff
output.
The diffstat is not yet displayed, but it can be manually added to the
changeset page template.
This allow safe caching of the pages by the browser and still display the right
amount of elapsed time upon page refresh.
If javascript is disabled, absolute time is displayed, leaving it readable.
All the templates have been updated.
This preserves the indentation of text in the changeset description.
This is useful for example for descriptions containing command line
use case examples like:
$ hg -q heads
13934:648a834cca14
13912:1d866b621bf7
Without this patch, such space-char indented text was just left aligned.
The coal and paper web themes will highlight closed branches as a visual cue to
the user. This patch makes the other two themes constistent.
For users with difficulty differentiating colors, it would be better to split
out closed branches to a new table or optionally hide them.
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.
