phases: move short-lived PyObject pointers to local scope It helps understand which object should be decrefed on goto release.

phases: rename variable used for owned dict of phasesets The phaseroots variable is used for two different objects: borrowed set and owned dict of sets. It's hard to track which object should have to be decrefed on error return.

phases: leverage Py_BuildValue() to build PyInt and steal PyObject "N" means "O" without incref, so we can just return the created tuple.

phases: make sure an exception should be set on error return This should never happen, but the code looks wrong without PyErr_Set*() call.

phases: fix clang-format error

phases: fix error return with no exception from computephases() PySet_Check() does not set an exception.

osutil: fix excessive decref on tuple creation failure in listdir() The stat object would be freed on error for the same reason as the previous patch. makestat() can be inlined, but this patch doesn't change it. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Python/modsupport.c#L292 The __APPLE__ code is untested.

revlog: fix excessive decref on tuple creation failure in parse_index2() Since Py_BuildValue() steals the ownership of "N" arguments, these objects would already be freed if Py_BuildValue() returned NULL. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Python/modsupport.c#L292

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8738

mergestate: remove unnecessary recordactions() from mergestate class This function is updating dirstate which sounds like not something which a method on mergestate class should do.

windows: don’t set `softspace` attribute in `winstdout` Python 2 file objects have the `softspace` attribute (https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#file.softspace), which is used by the print statement to track its internal state. The documentation demands from file-like objects only that the attribute is writable and initialized to 0. Method `file.write()` sets it to 0, but this is not documented. Historically, sys.stdout was replaced by an instance of the `winstdout` class, so it needed to behave exactly the same (the softspace fix was introduced in 705278e70457). Nowadays we don’t replace sys.stdout and don’t use the print statement on `winstdout` instances, so we can safely drop it.

windows: handle file-like objects without isatty() method Copying the function is not nice, but moving around stuff to avoid the circular import didn’t seem to be worth the effort.

exchange: check actually missing revs for obsolete / unstable revs (issue6372) The previous code was using `outgoing.ancestorsof`, which was originally called `outgoing.missingheads` although not containing the missing heads. This confusion was probably the reason why the buggy code was written. The actually outgoing changesets are stored in `outgoing.missing`. By checking all outgoing changesets, we avoid the problem and can show the list of all obsolete or unstable changesets, which is more helpful for the user.

tests: test that push doesn’t complain about unstable changesets if no changes When there’re no outgoing changes, push doesn’t complain about unstable changesets. There is currently a bug (see issue6372) that causes that there is an abort on push when the outgoing changes contain another changeset even if that is not obsolete or unstable. A test case and fix for that is sent in the next patch.

windows: always work around EINVAL in case of broken pipe for stdout / stderr In 29a905fe23ae, I missed the fact that the `winstdout` class works around two unrelated bugs (size limit when writing to consoles and EINVAL in case of broken pipe) and that the latter bug happens even when no console is involved. When writing a test for this, I realized that the same problem applies to stderr, so I applied the workaround for EINVAL to both stdout and stderr. The size limit is worked around in the same case as before (consoles on Windows on Python 2). For that, I changed the `winstdout` class.

tests: make pipes / PTYs non-inheritable in test-stdio.py A following patch requires that to test closing the receiving end of the pipe / PTYs. Even for existing tests, it might be safer to make the lifetime of the pipes / PTYs as short as possible.

util: enhance `nullcontextmanager` to be able to return __enter__ result This makes its functionality and signature equivalent to Python 3.7’s contextlib.nullcontext().

windows: augment docstring of `winstdout` class

discovery: change users of `outgoing.missingheads` to `outgoing.ancestorsof` The attribute `missingheads` was recently renamed to `ancestorsof`, as it, despite the old name, doesn’t contain the missing heads but the changesets that were requested (including ancestors) for the outgoing operation. Changing all the users enables to print a warning if the old name is used. There is a good chance that some of the users are buggy because of the old name. Changing them to use the new name makes it more obvious that they are buggy. All users need to be reviewed for bugs. When sending patches for fixing them, the change will be more obvious without having to explain again and again the discrepancy of the old attribute name and what it actually contained.

discovery: fix docstring of `outgoing` class Also, introduce a more correct name `ancestorsof` for what was named `missingheads` before. For now, we just forward `ancestorsof` to `missingheads` until all users are changed. There were some mistakes in the old docstring / name: * `missingheads` (new name: `ancestorsof`) contains the revs whose ancestors are included in the outgoing operation. It may contain non-head revs and revs which are already on the remote, so the name "missingheads" is wrong in two ways. * `missing` contains only ancestors of `missingheads`, so not *all nodes* present in local but not in remote. * `common` might not contain all common revs, e.g. not some that are not an ancestor of `missingheads`. It seems like the misleading name have fostered an actual bug (issue6372), where `outgoing.missingheads` was used assuming that it contains the heads of the missing changesets.

discovery: weaken claim about returned common heads if ancestorsof are given As the test case shows, the claim is not true in general.

extensions: make `hg help extensions` list disabled extensions with PyOxidizer `setup.py` has a mechanism for generating a list of bundled extensions and their documenation and putting it in a `hgext/__index__.py` file. That file is then read from `extensions.py`, which makes `hg help extensions` work in py2exe binaries. This patch makes it so `setup.py` produces the `hgext/__index__.py` file also when called by PyOxidizer. Thanks to Matt Harbison for pointing out the existence of `__index__.py`!

phases: sparsify phaseroots and phasesets As final step of dealing with the holes in the phase numbers, make phaseroots and phasesets both dictionaries indexed by the phase number. Further adjust the interface of the C module by pushing the node to revision mapping down as it is cheaper on the C side to deal with revision numbers.

extdiff: add comments and minor variable renames diffpatch() Some variable names were now confusing as we refactored the code in a separate function.

absorb: make it explicit if empty changeset was created If the config rewrite.empty-successor=skip is set, a message "became empty and was dropped" is shown if the changeset became empty. If the config rewrite.empty-successor=keep is set, absorb may create changesets even if they became empty. It’s probably a good idea to make that explicit. Therefore the message is changed to be a combination of both: "became empty and became ...". Repeating the word "became" is not very elegant. This results from the fact that "became" was and is overloaded to indicate both the change from non-empty to empty and the successor relation. In the combinated message, both meanings are used in one sentence.

absorb: consider rewrite.empty-successor configuration This adds support for the recently added rewrite.empty-successor configuration.

rebase: consider rewrite.empty-successor configuration This adds support for the recently added rewrite.empty-successor configuration.

rewriteutil: add utility to check whether empty successors should be skipped

config: add option to control creation of empty successors during rewrite The default for many history-rewriting commands (e.g. rebase and absorb) is that changesets which would become empty are not created in the target branch. This makes sense if the source branch consists of small fix-up changes. For more advanced workflows that make heavy use of history-editing to create curated patch series, dropping empty changesets is not as important or even undesirable. Some users want to keep the meta-history, e.g. to make finding comments in a code review tool easier or to avoid that divergent bookmarks are created. For that, obsmarkers from the (to-be) empty changeset to the changeset(s) that already made the changes should be added. If a to-be empty changeset is pruned without a successor, adding the obsmarkers is hard because the changeset has to be found within the hidden part of the history. If rebasing in TortoiseHg, it’s easy to miss the fact that the to-be empty changeset was pruned. An empty changeset will function as a reminder that obsmarkers should be added. Martin von Zweigbergk mentioned another advantage. Stripping the successor will de-obsolete the predecessor. If no (empty) successor is created, this won’t be possible. In the future, we may want to consider other behaviors, like e.g. creating the empty successor, but pruning it right away. Therefore this configuration accepts 'skip' and 'keep' instead of being a boolean configuration.

commands: use any() instead of `if a or b or c` Small cleanup for future when we have an option to show configs from shared rc. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8658

manifest: use the same logic for handling flags in _parse as elsewhere Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8684

manifest: tigher manifest parsing and flag use In the manifest line, flags are put directly after the hash, so the parser has been guessing the presence of flags based on the length of the hash. Replace this assumption by an enumeration of the valid flags and removing them from the hash first as they are distinct input values. Consistently handle the expected 256bit length of the SHA1-replacement in the pure Python parser. Check that setting flags will use one of the blessed values. Extend write logic in the C version to handle 256bit hashes as well. Verify that hashes always have exactly the expected length. Since 1070df141718 we should no longer depend on the old extra-byte hack. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8679

phases: sparsify phase lists When the internal and archived phase was added, allphase became a large, sparsely populated list. This dramatically increased the number of lookup operations for public relations in `phasecache.phase`. As a first step, define allphases and related lists explicitly to contain only the actual phases. Make phasenames a dictionary and create corresponding dictionaries for mapping phase names back to numbers. Adjust various list to be sparse as well with the exception of phaseroots and phasesets members of phasecache. Keep those as a separate step as it involves changes to the C module.

hg-core: define a `dirstate_status` `Operation` This is 3/3 in a series of patches to improve dirstate status' code. Following in the footsteps of a46e36b82461, we move the main status functionality to an `Operation`. This will most likely be subject to change in the future (what function signature, what parameters, etc., but we will see when `rhg` gets `hg status` support. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8663

rust-status: improve documentation and readability This patch is 2/3 in the series to improve the dirstate status code. It adds a number of common type aliases to add more obvious semantics to function signatures, improves/adds documentation where necessary and improves one or two patterns to be more idiomatic. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8662

rust-status: refactor status into a struct The code for `dirstate/status` has grown too large for comfort, this is the first of three patches that try to improve maintainability. In this patch, refactoring dirstate's status into a struct allows for slimming down function signatures drastically, keeping the mental (and maintenance) burden lower, since pretty much all of them shared a few common arguments. This had the pleasant side-effect of simplifying lifetimes a little. This has no observable impact on performance. The next patch will add/improve documentation and refactor some types. I tried to keep new code down to a minimum in this patch because it's already pretty big. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8661

run-tests: replace '#' with '-' in temp path of repos created for tests If we have multiple cases in a test, that leads us to a temp path of format "<temp-path>-<case1>#<case2>".

scmutil: add writereporequirements() and route requires writing through it In upcoming patches, to implement Share Safe plan we will be introducing requires file in store. We need to route all callers to a single function to check for a share-safe requirement and if present, write requirements to .hg/store/requires instead. After this patch, callers directly calling scmutil.writerequires() are only those where we don't have the repo object, for example when initializing the repository object itself. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8631

extensions: make `hg nonexistent` not crash with PyOxidizer When running `hg nonexistent`, we try to look for extensions that provide that command. We do that by looking for files in the `hgext.__file__` directory. However, PyOxidizer doesn't provide a `__file__`, so we crash when running with PyOxidizer. We should be able to look for the command in built-in extensions, but we seem to already have code for skipping the scan when running in a frozen binary, so I just modified that code instead. By the way, it also seems like we should be able to search for extensions in the `hgext3rd` module, but we don't do that yet either (before or after this patch). Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8750

procutil: avoid use of deprecated tempfile.mktemp() In the previous version, I used tempfile.mktemp() because it seemed to be the only way to open a file from two processes (the Python documentation says the file backing NamedTemporaryFile can’t be opened a second time on Windows). However, it’s possible when passing the O_TEMPORARY flag to the second open. Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15235559/6366251

procutil: make _make_write_all() function private Because this function isn’t meant for general use (e.g., it’s Python 2-only), make in a module-private function by prefixing it with `_`.

dispatch: handle late KeyboardInterrupt occurred in run() User can press Ctrl+C while flushing streams in dispatch.run(). In such case, I think exiting with 255 is better than printing Python traceback and exiting with 1.

patch: refactor content diffing part in separate fn so extensions can wrap Right now extdiff uses it's own logic using archival to diff two versions of file using external diff tools. This makes the extdiff functionality non-extensible. This series is an attempt to refactor core patch and diff functionality so that extdiff can wrap and reuse it. This will help us in using external diffing tools at more places and not just extdiff command only then. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8685

tests: check that procutil.std{out,err}.write() returns correct result On Windows, we currently don’t fully test the case when the stream is connected to a TTY, but we test the child process side by connecting them to NUL, which is recognized as a TTY by Python. To make the large write test a bit more useful besides checking that it doesn’t crash, we can check that the write() method returns the correct result.

tests: add tests for when stdout or stderr is connected to `os.devnull` The original motivation was that creating PTYs on Windows is not possible, but `NUL` is recognized as a TTY, so we can have at least some test coverage for the TTY case. I think it doesn’t hurt to run the test cases on all systems.

procutil: ensure that procutil.std{out,err}.write() writes all bytes Python 3 offers different kind of streams and it’s not guaranteed for all of them that calling write() writes all bytes. When Python is started in unbuffered mode, sys.std{out,err}.buffer are instances of io.FileIO, whose write() can write less bytes for platform-specific reasons (e.g. Linux has a 0x7ffff000 bytes maximum and could write less if interrupted by a signal; when writing to Windows consoles, it’s limited to 32767 bytes to avoid the "not enough space" error). This can lead to silent loss of data, both when using sys.std{out,err}.buffer (which may in fact not be a buffered stream) and when using the text streams sys.std{out,err} (I’ve created a CPython bug report for that: https://bugs.python.org/issue41221). Python may fix the problem at some point. For now, we implement our own wrapper for procutil.std{out,err} that calls the raw stream’s write() method until all bytes have been written. We don’t use sys.std{out,err} for larger writes, so I think it’s not worth the effort to patch them.

procutil: move assignments This should probably be part of the previous patch, but folding it results in a less useful word diff, so I decided to keep it separate for review.

procutil: distribute code for stdout It makes sense to have the distinction between Python 2 and 3 at the top level, as we have to fight a different kind of battle on each: On Python 3, we get consistent behavior on all platforms, but need to create correctly-behaving binary streams. On Python 2, we have to account for platform differences.

overlayworkingctx: rename misleadingly named `isempty()` method This method is only about whether there are file changes, not about whether the commit will be empty or not. One user of the method was incorrectly assuming the latter meaning, leading to the bug for which a test case was added in D8727. I’ve added a FIXME to the code. The original motivation for the rename was that I want to add `committablectx.isempty()`, that properly checks if a commit will be empty, using the exact same logic as in `repo.commit()`, and I wanted to avoid a name clash.

rebase: add test case that shows that inmemory rebase does not preserve merges Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8727

rebase: remove now unnecessary logic to allow empty commit when branch changes This was a workaround for a bug in the empty commit check in repo.commit(), where the parent branch name was incorrectly compared with the wdir branch name instead of the branch name passed via `extra`. The bug was fixed in D8724. The workaround was introduced in b2415e94b2f5. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8725

commit: check branch change on to-be-committed changeset This makes a difference when a branch name is passed via the `extra` argument, which will be used as the branch name for the created changeset. The empty commit check should use that branch name instead of whatever was set on the working directory. Besides fixing the bug for which a test case was extended, it enables to remove a workaround in the rebase extension, which will be done in a follow-up patch (D8725).

procutil: move comment closer to relevant code

procutil: use mercurial.windows.winstdout only on Python 2 and TTYs Python 3 already works around the bug. The workaround is only needed when writing to consoles. If stdout is a console, sys.stdout.isatty() is true.

procutil: split if condition This prepares the code for subsequent changes where we need to differentiate between the two cases.

procutil: explain better why line buffering is not possible The sentence “On Python 3, buffered binary streams can't be set line-buffered.” was imprecise, as all streams are just Python classes and we can implement our own (which we did).

tests: make subprocess handling reusable for different tests in test-stdio.py

procutil: back out 8403cc54bc83 (make ....procutil.stderr unbuffered) Changeset 8403cc54bc83 introduced code that opens a second file object referring to the stderr file descriptor. This broke tests on Windows. The reason is that on Windows, sys.stderr is buffered and procutil.stderr closed the file descriptor when it got garbage collected before sys.stderr had the chance to flush buffered data. `procutil.stdout` had the same problem for a long time, but we didn’t realize, as in CI test runs, stdout is not a TTY and in this case no second file object is opened.

test-clone-uncompressed: use config to silence the lock warning The ui.timeout.warn option can solve the issue6237 in a cleaner way than what was done in 752da6863e39. That way, possible other unexpected error output will not be silenced. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8726

hooklib: fix detection of successors for changeset_obsoleted Provide a hook for obsutil.getobsolete to be used with either a transaction or the changes item of the transaction, since hooks only have access to the latter. Use that to find the correct list of revisions with obsmarkers, even new ones, and then filter out revisions with known successors. Move the processing from pretxnclose to txnclose as the transaction access itself is no longer necessary. This is more in line with notify and ensures that sanity checks can abort the transaction first. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8575

fix: prefetch file contents This prevents the worker subprocesses from contacting the server individually, which is either inefficient, or leads to problems if the connection is shared among them. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8723

fix: obtain base paths before starting workers This moves calculation of base paths to before work is dispatched. While this does mean that copy tracing will be serialized instead of parallel, it is necessary to be able to prefetch the base contents in a batch, which will likely be more efficient.

scmutil: allowing different files to be prefetched per revision The old API takes a list of revision separate from the file matcher, and thus provides no way to fetch different sets of files from each revision. In preparation for adding one such usage, I'm changing the API to take a list of (revision, file matcher) tuples instead. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8721

tests: update test-devel-warnings.t output with chg

tests: make names in test-stdio.py more distinctive This way, more tests can be added without name clashes.

tests: terminate subprocess in test-stdio.py in case of exception If an error happened while reading the output of the subprocess, the pipe / TTY buffer can fill up and prevent that the subprocess ends. Therefore we should terminate the subprocess in case of an exception.

tests: proof test-stdio.py against buffer fill-up With the previous code, it could in theory happen that the pipe / PTY buffer of the child stdout / stderr fills up and the process never finishes. To prevent that, we read all of the stream before waiting for the end of the process. To ensure that the stream reaches EOF when the child finishes, we must close the parent "copy" of the child stdout / stderr.

tests: stablize test-serve.t on Windows I forget the reason that the subprocess on Windows doesn't print this, but all other instances of this are similarly conditionalized, so I didn't think too hard about it. Also, the server needs to be killed so it doesn't prevent the next run from working, especially since the port isn't randomized. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8720

commitctx: document the manifest writing function Same spirit as for `_filecommit` lets document the input and output before making any change or improvement. This is part of a larger refactoring/cleanup of the commitctx code to clarify and augment the logic gathering metadata useful for copy tracing. The current code is a tad too long and entangled to make such update easy. We start with easy and small cleanup. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8705

commitctx: reorder some conditional for efficiency in _filecommit Checking if a dict is empty will be faster than comparing text. I don't expect it to be a huge performance win, but still a good (but gratuitous) cleanup to do while we are at it.
