rebase: add a deprecated -i/--interactive flag A common mistake can be to type 'hg rebase -i' to discover interactive history editing. We add a -i/--interactive flag as discussed in the sprint and deprecate it right away, but hint people using it to use histedit instead.

revlog: introduce isancestor method for efficiently determining node lineage Hide the not so obvious use of commonancestorsheads.

clone: provide sample username = config entry in .hg/hgrc (issue4359) Some users clone from a server before ever running 'hg config --edit', so they don't see our helpful template for things like enabling the username. Attempt to give them some helpful guidance.

test-acl: alter sed construct to avoid changes in .hg/hgrc formatting A future patch is going to add some extra commented-out boilerplate to the top of .hg/hgrc during clone. In order to make this test not require regular updates, switch to searching for [hooks] or [acl] and print file from the first match to that pattern.

dispatch: check shell alias again after loading extensions (issue4355) Before this patch, the shell alias causes failure when it takes its specific (= unknown for "hg") options in the command line, because "_parse()" can't accept them. This is the regression introduced by 03d345da0579. It fixed the issue that ambiguity between shell aliases and commands defined by extensions was ignored. But it also caused that ambiguous shell alias is handled in "_parse()" even if it takes specific options in the command line. To avoid such failure, this patch checks shell alias again after loading extensions. All aliases and commands (including ones defined by extensions) are completely defined before the 2nd (= newly added in this patch) "_checkshellalias()" invocation, and "cmdutil.findcmd(strict=False)" can detect ambiguity between them correctly. For efficiency, this patch does: - omit the 2nd "_checkshellalias()" invocation if "[ui] strict= True" it causes "cmdutil.findcmd(strict=True)", of which result should be equal to one of the 1st invocation before adding aliases - avoid removing the 1st "_checkshellalias()" invocation it causes "cmdutil.findcmd(strict=True)" invocation preventing shell alias execution from loading extensions uselessly

dispatch: make "_checkshellalias" reusable regardless of adding aliases To reduce changes in the subsequent patch fixing issue4355, this patch makes "_checkshellalias" reusable regardless of adding aliases. In this patch, alias definitions are added and restored, only when "precheck=True".

build: don't clean __version__.py on 'make clean' in release tarballs When running 'make clean' in an extracted release tarball, file mercurial/__version__.py is removed, causing a subsequent install to indicate 'version unknown'. This problem was reported in the past [1] and a patch proposed in that mail, but was never properly sent nor applied. [1] http://selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2010-December/036249.html
