run-tests: install hg after computing tests to run We're going to add a way to list tests, and we don't need to install hg for that.

run-tests: make time field optional for xunit report We're going to use XUnit to list tests, and we don't have a time field in that case.

run-tests: factor out json write code into another method We're going to use this code to output a JSON-formatted listing of tests.

run-tests: factor out xunit write code into another method We're going to use this code to output an XUnit-formatted listing of tests.

revset: lookup descendents for negative arguments to ancestor operator Negative offsets to the `~` operator now search for descendents. The search is aborted when a node has more than one child as we do not have a definition for 'nth child'. Optionally we can introduce such a notion and take the nth child ordered by rev number. The current revset language does provides a short operator for ancestor lookup but not for descendents. This gives user a simple revset to move to the previous changeset, e.g. `hg up '.~1'` but not to the 'next' changeset. With this change userse can now use `.~-1` as a shortcut to move to the next changeset. This fits better into allowing users to specify revisions via revsets and avoiding the need for special `hg next` and `hg prev` operations. The alternative to negative offsets is adding a new operator. We do not have many operators in ascii left that do not require bash escaping (',', '_', and '/' come to mind). If we decide that we should add a more convenient short operator such as ('/', e.g. './1') we can later add it and allow ascendents lookup via negative numbers.

update: show the commit to which we updated in case of multiple heads (BC) Currently when we have multiple heads on the same branch, update tells us that there some more heads for the current branch but does not tells us the head to which the repository has been updated to. It makes more sense showing the head we updated to and then telling there are some more heads.

revlog: skeleton support for version 2 revlogs There are a number of improvements we want to make to revlogs that will require a new version - version 2. It is unclear what the full set of improvements will be or when we'll be done with them. What I do know is that the process will likely take longer than a single release, will require input from various stakeholders to evaluate changes, and will have many contentious debates and bikeshedding. It is unrealistic to develop revlog version 2 up front: there are just too many uncertainties that we won't know until things are implemented and experiments are run. Some changes will also be invasive and prone to bit rot, so sitting on dozens of patches is not practical. This commit introduces skeleton support for version 2 revlogs in a way that is flexible and not bound by backwards compatibility concerns. An experimental repo requirement for denoting revlog v2 has been added. The requirement string has a sub-version component to it. This will allow us to declare multiple requirements in the course of developing revlog v2. Whenever we change the in-development revlog v2 format, we can tweak the string, creating a new requirement and locking out old clients. This will allow us to make as many backwards incompatible changes and experiments to revlog v2 as we want. In other words, we can land code and make meaningful progress towards revlog v2 while still maintaining extreme format flexibility up until the point we freeze the format and remove the experimental labels. To enable the new repo requirement, you must supply an experimental and undocumented config option. But not just any boolean flag will do: you need to explicitly use a value that no sane person should ever type. This is an additional guard against enabling revlog v2 on an installation it shouldn't be enabled on. The specific scenario I'm trying to prevent is say a user with a 4.4 client with a frozen format enabling the option but then downgrading to 4.3 and accidentally creating repos with an outdated and unsupported repo format. Requiring a "challenge" string should prevent this. Because the format is not yet finalized and I don't want to take any chances, revlog v2's version is currently 0xDEAD. I figure squatting on a value we're likely never to use as an actual revlog version to mean "internal testing only" is acceptable. And "dead" is easily recognized as something meaningful. There is a bunch of cleanup that is needed before work on revlog v2 begins in earnest. I plan on doing that work once this patch is accepted and we're comfortable with the idea of starting down this path.

check-code: ban grep's context flags (-A/-B/-C) since they're not on Solaris

patchbomb: avoid -r and -B options at the same time

debugbundle: add --part-type flag to emit only named part types This removes the need in the tests for grep -A, which is not supported on Solaris.
