Matt Mackall 788df2a72b windows: sanity-check symlink placeholders
On Windows, we store symlinks as plain files with the link contents.
Via user error or NFS/Samba assistance, these files often end up with
'normal' file contents. Committing these changes thus gives an
invalid symlink that can't be checked out on Unix.

Here we filter out any modified symlink placeholders that look
suspicious when computing status:

- more than 1K (looks more like a normal file)
- contain NULs (not allowed on Unix, probably a binary)
- contains \n (filenames can't contain \n, very unusual for symlinks,
  very common for files)

Create extension that can disable symlink support:
$ cat > nolink.py <<EOF
> from mercurial import extensions, util
> def setflags(orig, f, l, x):
> pass
> def checklink(orig, path):
> return False
> def extsetup(ui):
> extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'setflags', setflags)
> extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'checklink', checklink)
> EOF
$ hg init unix-repo
$ cd unix-repo
$ echo foo > a
$ ln -s a b
$ hg ci -Am0
adding a
adding b
$ cd ..
Simulate a checkout shared on NFS/Samba:
$ hg clone -q unix-repo shared
$ cd shared
$ rm b
$ echo foo > b
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py status --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Make a clone using placeholders:
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py clone . ../win-repo
updating to branch default
2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd ../win-repo
$ cat b
a (no-eol)
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
Write binary data to the placeholder:
>>> open('b', 'w').write('this is a binary\0')
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Write a long string to the placeholder:
>>> open('b', 'w').write('this' * 1000)
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Commit shouldn't succeed:
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
nothing changed
[1]
Write a valid string to the placeholder:
>>> open('b', 'w').write('this')
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
M b
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
