color: minor reversal of two conditional clause for clarity Another minor cleanup while reading the code. The two branches of the conditional have similar complexity so we go for the order that give us the simplest condition (we drop the negation).

color: merge two identical 'for' loops The previous changeset made it clear that we are iterating twice on the same items. We gather the two loops into a single one.

color: minor simplification of some terminfo setup code No logic change is introduced. The previous code were using a 'dict.update' with a complex generator. That was a bit confusing to read and not so compact. Instead we now use an explicit loop and conditional for the sake of clarity. This also allow for more simplification coming in the next changeset.

color: make a test for curse availability explicite We won't use terminfo when curse failed to load. Before this change, we were doing an indirect test, relying on the fact some variable ('_terminfo_params') would be empty if curses failed to load. We update the code to be more explicit and directly checks if we managed to load the curse module.

color: move 'win32' declaration to the core module This is another part of moving color implementation into core. before we can move the advance logic, we need to move the basic definition and building bricks. This is one more step on that road.

smartset: preserve istopo for baseset operations This is a follow-up of "smartset: use native set operations as fast paths". It's more correct to just preserve the "istopo" information for "&" and "-" operations, like what filteredset does.

pager: add a config knob to just globally turn off the pager

pager: move most help to a new help topic and deprecate extension

dispatch: rearrange 'unknown command' code to better employ pager dispatch calls help like a ninja if you give it a truly unknown command, and that might want to be paged. If it gets paged, then the 'hg: unknown command' text gets eaten by a grue, unless we call the pager first. This change rearranges the codepaths so we can safely only invoke the pager in the case where we'll have long output from the help command code, rather than just a short message like "did you mean stat instead of start" or "fetch is provided by the fetch extension".

help: move rst formatting of help documents into help.py This slight refactor will help me improve the 'unknown command' experience in our new glorious pager future.

outgoing: avoid running pager until we're actually showing changes Consistent with the new behavior of incoming in the previous patch.

incoming: delay pager activation until right before printing changes This prevents authentication and other brief status messages from being paged.

histedit: modify rollup to discard date from the rollup commit (issue4820) This change adjusts and documents the new behaviour of 'roll'. It now fits nicely with the behaviour of 'commit --amend' and the 'edit' action, by discarding the date as well as the commit message of the second commit. Previously it used the later date, like 'fold', but this often wasn't desirable, for example, in the common use case of using 'roll' to add forgotten changes to a changeset (because 'hg add' was previously forgotten or not all changes were identified while using 'hg record').

histedit: improve documentation and behaviour of dates This clarifies in the histedit documentation that the 'edit' action preserves the date and that the 'fold' action uses the later date. The documentation was previously silent on this issue which left users in doubt.

localrepo: check HG_PENDING strictly Before this patch, checking HG_PENDING for changelog in localrepo.py might cause unintentional reading unrelated '00changelog.i.a' in, because HG_PENDING is checked by str.startswith(). An external hook spawned by inner repository in nested ones satisfies this condition. This patch uses txnutil.mayhavepending() to check HG_PENDING strictly. BTW, this patch may cause failure of bisect in the repository of Mercurial itself, if examination at bisecting assumes that an external hook can see all pending changes while nested transactions across repositories. This invisibility issue will be fixed by subsequent patch, which allows HG_PENDING to refer multiple repositories.
