prev: respect `commands.update.check` config option in `hg prev` (issue5808)
`commands.update.check` config option determines what level of checking should
be done when we update to another revision. When we set this config option to
`noconflict`, it updates your working directory to a specified revision only
when there will be no conflicts which is a very nice behavior.
This patch adds logic to respect the config option so that we can have that nice
behavior with `hg prev` too.
It turns out, we just needed to use hg.updatetotally() and add some cases to
check config option.
Right now, we only respect the config if value is set to `noconflict`. Otherwise
we fallback to the default behavior.
This is a part of fixing issue5808. Test changes demonstrate the fix.

Logilab SA <contact@logilab.fr> ----------------------------------------- Good practice for (early) users of evolve ----------------------------------------- Avoid unstability ----------------- The less unstability you have the less you need to resolve. Evolve is not yet able to detect and solve every situation. And your mind is not ready neither. Branch as much as possible -------------------------- This is not MQ; you are not constrained to linear history. Making a branch per independent branch will help you avoid unstability and conflict. Rewrite your changes only ------------------------- There is no descent conflict detection and handling right now. Rewriting other people's changesets guarantees that you will get conflicts. Communicate with your fellow developers before trying to touch other people's work (which is a good practice in any case). Using multiple branches will help you to achieve this goal. Prefer pushing unstability to touching other people changesets -------------------------------------------------------------- If you have children changesets from other people that you don't really care about, prefer not altering them to risking a conflict by stabilizing them. Do not get too confident ------------------------ This is an experimental extension and a complex concept. This is beautiful, powerful and robust on paper, but the tool and your mind may not be prepared for all situations yet.
