store: encode first period or space in filenames (issue1713)
- Mac OS X has problems with filenames starting with '._'
(e.g. '.FOO' -> '._f_o_o' is now encoded as '~2e_f_o_o')
- Explorer of Windows Vista and Windows 7 strip leading spaces of
path elements of filenames when copying trees
Above problems are avoided by encoding the first space (as '~20') or
period (as '~2e') of all path elements.
This introduces a new entry 'dotencode' in .hg/requires, that is,
a new repository filename layout (inside .hg/store).
Newly created repositories require 'dotencode' by default. Specifying
[format]
dotencode = False
in a config file will use the old format instead.
Prior Mercurial versions will abort with the message
abort: requirement 'dotencode' not supported!
when trying to access a local repository that requires 'dotencode'.
New 'dotencode' repositories can be converted to the previous
repository format with
hg --config format.dotencode=0 clone --pull repoA repoB
$ hg init a
$ cd a
$ hg init b
$ echo x > b/x
Should print nothing:
$ hg add b
$ hg st
Should fail:
$ hg st b/x
abort: path 'b/x' is inside repo 'b'
[255]
$ hg add b/x
abort: path 'b/x' is inside repo 'b'
[255]
Should fail:
$ hg add b b/x
abort: path 'b/x' is inside repo 'b'
[255]
$ hg st
Should arguably print nothing:
$ hg st b
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Ama a
Should fail:
$ hg mv a b
abort: path 'b/a' is inside repo 'b'
[255]
$ hg st
