obsolete: store user name and note in UTF-8 (issue5754) (BC)
Before, user names were stored in local encoding and transferred across
repositories, which made it impossible to restore non-ASCII user names on
different platforms. This patch fixes new markers to be encoded in UTF-8
and decoded back to local encoding when displaying. Existing markers are
unfixable so they may result in mojibake.
I don't like the API that requires metadata dict to be UTF-8 encoded, which
is a source of bugs, but there's no abstraction layer to process the encoding
thingy efficiently. So we apply the same rule as extras dict to obsstore
metadata.
#require no-symlink
# The following script was used to create the bundle:
#
# hg init symlinks
# cd symlinks
# echo a > a
# mkdir d
# echo b > d/b
# ln -s a a.lnk
# ln -s d/b d/b.lnk
# hg ci -Am t
# hg bundle --base null ../test-no-symlinks.hg
Extract a symlink on a platform not supporting them
$ hg init t
$ cd t
$ hg pull -q "$TESTDIR/bundles/test-no-symlinks.hg"
$ hg update
4 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cat a.lnk && echo
a
$ cat d/b.lnk && echo
d/b
Copy a symlink and move another
$ hg copy a.lnk d/a2.lnk
$ hg mv d/b.lnk b2.lnk
$ hg ci -Am copy
$ cat d/a2.lnk && echo
a
$ cat b2.lnk && echo
d/b
Bundle and extract again
$ hg bundle --base null ../symlinks.hg
