extdiff: allow a preconfigured merge-tool to be invoked
There are three ways to configure an extdiff tool:
1) cmd.tool = (/path/to/exe optional)
2) tool = (path/to/exe optional)
3) tool = sometool someargs
Previously, if no executable is specified in the first two forms, the named tool
must be in $PATH, or the invocation fails. Since the [merge-tools] section
already has the path to the diff executable, and/or the registry keys to find
the executable on Windows, reuse that configuration for forms 1 and 2 instead of
failing. We already fallback to [diff-tools] and then [merge-tools] for program
arguments if they aren't specified in the [extdiff] section.
Since this additional lookup only occurs if an executable is not on the $PATH
for the named tool, this is backwards compatible. For now, we assume the user
knows what he is doing if a path is provided.
This change allows a configuration file like this (assuming beyondcompare3 is
configured in merge-tools), instead of hardcoding system specific a path:
[extdiff]
beyondcompare3 =
revlog.parseindex must be able to parse the index file even if
an index entry is split between two 64k blocks. The ideal test
would be to create an index file with inline data where
64k < size < 64k + 64 (64k is the size of the read buffer, 64 is
the size of an index entry) and with an index entry starting right
before the 64k block boundary, and try to read it.
We approximate that by reducing the read buffer to 1 byte.
