template: fix shortest(node) function in pure mercurial Pure mercurial (i.e. without c extensions) does not support partialmatch() on the revlog index, so we must fall back to use revlog._partialmatch() to handle that case for us. The tests caught this. We don't use revlog._partialmatch() for the normal case because it performs a very expensive index iteration when the string being tested fails to find a unique result via index.partialmatch(). It does this in order to filter out hidden revs in hopes of the string being unique amongst non-hidden revs. For the shortest(node) case, we'd prefer performance over worrying about hidden revs.

template: add pad function for padding output Adds a pad template function with the following signature: pad(text, width, fillchar=' ', right=False) This uses the standard python ljust and rjust functions to produce a string that is at least a certain width. This is useful for aligning variable length strings in log output (like user names or shortest(node) output).

template: add shortest(node) template function Adds a '{shortest(node)}' template function that results in the shortest hex node that uniquely identifies the changeset at that time. The minimum length can be specified as an optional second argument and defaults to 4. This is useful for producing prettier log output, like so: @ durham shortestnode | 77cf template: add pad function for padding output | o durham | b183 template: add shortestnode keyword | o pierre-yves @ | 6545 backout: add a message after backout that need manual commit | | o durham manifestcache |/ 93f0 manifest cache | | o durham catperf | | c765 cat: increase perf when catting single files | | | o durham |/ 9c53 changectx: increase perf of walk function |
