sslutil: emit warning when no CA certificates loaded If no CA certificates are loaded, that is almost certainly a/the reason certificate verification fails when connecting to a server. The modern ssl module in Python 2.7.9+ provides an API to access the list of loaded CA certificates. This patch emits a warning on modern Python when certificate verification fails and there are no loaded CA certificates. There is no way to detect the number of loaded CA certificates unless the modern ssl module is present. Hence the differences in test output depending on whether modern ssl is available. It's worth noting that a test which specifies a CA file still renders this warning. That is because the certificate it is loading is a x509 client certificate and not a CA certificate. This test could be updated if anyone is so inclined.

Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.

A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip,
-2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.

A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
identifier.

A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix
of exactly one full-length identifier.

Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A
bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name
associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head
of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character.

The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.

The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the
revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.

The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first
parent.
