help: describe about choice of :prompt as a fallback merge tool explicitly "merge-tools" help topic has described that the merge of the file fails if no tool is found to merge binary or symlink, since c77f6276c9e7 (or Mercurial 1.7), which based on (already removed) MergeProgram wiki page. But even at that revision, and of course now, merge of the file doesn't fail automatically for binary/symlink. ":prompt" (or equivalent logic) is used, if there is no appropriate tool configuration for binary/symlink.

wix: only one KeyPath is allowed per Component

help: call out specific replacement configuration settings As an aside, I'm having trouble parsing the help text meaning for HG when it is unset or empty. How can it be the frozen name or searched if it is empty?

help: spelling fixes

help: attempt to clarify that pager usage is not output length based This may be too subtle of a change to get the point across, but when I first read the original text, I thought maybe the pager would only be invoked if writing more than a screenful. The distinction between this and a pager that simply exits after printing less than a screenful is important on Windows, given the inability of `more` to color output.

help: document color/pager pitfalls on Windows Even though I figured this out a few weeks ago, I was initially puzzled where the color went when I upgraded to 4.2 on a different Windows machine. Let's point users reading the help into the right direction. I wonder if we should be even more explicit about cmd.exe/MSYS/pager/color interplay, but at least all of the breadcrumbs are here (I think).

test-diff-color: disable pager for expected output on Windows (issue5555) Windows uses `more.com`, which unhelpfully adds an extra trailing line consisting only of '\r'. It also converts tab characters to spaces, which throws off the last two tests. Setting the 'ui.formatted' option is what allowed the pager to be used by these tests in the first place.

pager: drop the support for 'pager.enable=<bool>' This option was never released except for a release candidate. Dropping compatibility with this option will free the 'pager.enable' config option for other usage in the future.

pager: rename 'pager.enable' to 'ui.paginate' This aligns with what we do for color (see 7fec37746417). Pager is a central enough notion that having the master config in the [ui] section makes senses. It will helps with consistency, discoverability. It will also help having a simple and clear example hgrc mentioning pager. The previous form of the option had never been released in a non-rc version but we keep it around for convenience. If both are set, 'ui.pager' take priority.

color: special case 'always' in 'ui.color' This lift the confusing case, where 'ui.color=always' would actually not always use color.

color: turn 'ui.color' into a boolean (auto or off) Previously, 'ui.color=yes' meant "always show color", While "ui.color=auto" meant "use color automatically when it appears sensible". This feels problematic to some people because if an administrator has disabled color with "ui.color=off", and a user turn it back on using "color=on", it will get surprised (because it breaks their output when redirected to a file.) This patch changes ui.color=true to only move the default value of --color from "never" to "auto". I'm not really in favor of this changes as I suspect the above case will be pretty rare and I would rather keep the logic simpler. However, I'm providing this patch to help the 4.2 release in the case were others decide to make this changes. Users that want to force colors without specifying --color on the command line can use the 'ui.formatted' config knob, which had to be enabled in a handful of tests for this patch. Nice summary table (credit: Augie Fackler) That is, before this patch: +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | | not a tty | a tty | | | --color not set | --color not set | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color (not set) | no color | no color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = auto | no color | color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = yes | *color* | color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = no | no color | no color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ (if --color is specified, it always clobbers the setting in [ui]) and after this patch: +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | | not a tty | a tty | | | --color not set | --color not set | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color (not set) | no color | no color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = auto | no color | color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = yes | *no color* | color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = no | no color | no color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ (if --color is specified, it always clobbers the setting in [ui])

pager: document the 'pager.enable' option The 'config' helps was missing help about pager enabling/disabling.

pager: advertise the config option in the default hgrc Same as for 'ui.color', this is a critical part of the UI and we want user to find this config knob easily.

pager: document the 'pager' config section There as a 'hg help pager' section but the 'hg help config.pager' was missing.

pager: test the 'enable' config option While poking at this option I realised it was not tested.

config: drop pager from the recommended extension The extension is deprecated, we should having exposing it to users.

config: use "churn" as an example extension "Churn" is not the useful example we have, but this is the one used in 'hg help config.extensions'. As we need something to replace the deprecated 'pager' extension in the example config, we are adding 'churn'.

discovery: prevent crash caused by prune marker having no parent data If a marker has no parent information, parents field is set to None, which caused TypeError. I think this shouldn't normally happen, but somehow I have such marker in my repo.

color: point to the global help in the example hgrc This is probably the best way to have users learn more is they need too.

color: reflect the new default in the example hgrc Color is enabled by default so un-commenting the line would not have any effect. We'll point to the help in the next changeset.

color: point to the config help in global help topic We point out at the help of the config option for user who wants to learn more about the possible config value. The suggested command returns some other extra (color related) results, but this is bug to fix outside of the freeze.

color: reflect the new default in global help topic We point out that color is enabled by default.

docs: describe ui.color consistently with --color The --color option is described to accept "boolean, always, auto, never, or debug". Let's use a similar description for ui.color. Also fix the formatting to use double quotes as we seem to use for about half the values in config.txt (the other half uses double backticks). Also use uppercase Boolean for consistency within the file.

test: glob out variation from 'HGPORT' length On system where HGTEST_PORT is configured to a value an order a magnitude lower or higher than the default. The number of digit in the HGPORT changes and this test breaks.

lock: avoid unintentional lock acquisition at failure of readlock Acquiring lock by vfs.makelock() and getting lock holder (aka "locker") information by vfs.readlock() aren't atomic action. Therefore, failure of the former doesn't ensure success of the latter. Before this patch, lock is unintentionally acquired, if ENOENT causes failure of vfs.readlock() while 5 times retrying, because lock._trylock() returns to caller silently after retrying, and lock.lock() assumes that lock._trylock() returns successfully only if lock is acquired. In this case, lock symlink (or file) isn't created, even though lock is treated as acquired in memory. To avoid this issue, this patch makes lock._trylock() raise LockHeld(EAGAIN) at the end of it, if lock isn't acquired while retrying. An empty "locker" meaning "busy for frequent lock/unlock by many processes" might appear in an abortion message, if lock acquisition fails. Therefore, this patch also does: - use '%r' to increase visibility of "locker", even if it is empty - show hint message to explain what empty "locker" means

lock: avoid unintentional lock acquisition at failure of readlock Acquiring lock by vfs.makelock() and getting lock holder (aka "locker") information by vfs.readlock() aren't atomic action. Therefore, failure of the former doesn't ensure success of the latter. Before this patch, lock is unintentionally acquired, if self.parentlock is None (this is default value), and lock._readlock() returns None for ENOENT at vfs.readlock(), because these None are recognized as equal to each other. In this case, lock symlink (or file) isn't created, even though lock is treated as acquired in memory. To avoid this issue, this patch retries lock acquisition immediately, if lock._readlock() returns None "locker". This issue will be covered by a test added in subsequent patch, because simple emulation of ENOENT at vfs.readlock() easily causes another issue. "raising ENOENT only at the first vfs.readlock() invocation" is too complicated for unit test, IMHO.

httppeer: unify hint message for PeerTransportError Another raising PeerTransportError for "incomplete response" in httppeer.py uses this (changed) hint message. This unification reduces cost of translation.

revset: add i18n comments to error messages for followlines predicate This patch also includes un-quoting "descend" keyword for similarity to other error messages (this seems too trivial as a separated patch).
