help: scripting help topic

There are a lot of non-human consumers of Mercurial. And the challenges
and considerations for machines consuming Mercurial is significantly
different from what humans face.

I think there are enough special considerations around how machines
consume Mercurial that a dedicated help topic is warranted. I concede
the audience for this topic is probably small compared to the general
audience. However, lots of normal Mercurial users do things like create
one-off shell scripts for common workflows that I think this is useful
enough to be in the install (as opposed to, say, a wiki page - which
most users will likely never find).

This text is by no means perfect. But you have to start somewhere. I
think I did cover the important parts, though.

test merge-tools configuration - mostly exercising filemerge.py

  $ unset HGMERGE # make sure HGMERGE doesn't interfere with the test
  $ hg init

revision 0

  $ echo "revision 0" > f
  $ echo "space" >> f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 0"
  adding f

revision 1

  $ echo "revision 1" > f
  $ echo "space" >> f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 1"
  $ hg update 0 > /dev/null

revision 2

  $ echo "revision 2" > f
  $ echo "space" >> f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 2"
  created new head
  $ hg update 0 > /dev/null

revision 3 - simple to merge

  $ echo "revision 3" >> f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 3"
  created new head

revision 4 - hard to merge

  $ hg update 0 > /dev/null
  $ echo "revision 4" > f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 4"
  created new head

  $ echo "[merge-tools]" > .hg/hgrc

  $ beforemerge() {

Tool selection

default is internal merge:

  $ beforemerge
  [merge-tools]
  # hg update -C 1

hg merge -r 2
override $PATH to ensure hgmerge not visible; use $PYTHON in case we're
running from a devel copy, not a temp installation

  $ PATH="$BINDIR" $PYTHON "$BINDIR"/hg merge -r 2
  merging f
  warning: conflicts during merge.
  merging f incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon

simplest hgrc using false for merge:

Issue3581: Merging a filename that needs to be quoted

Merge post-processing

cat is a bad merge-tool and doesn't change:

  $ beforemerge
  [merge-tools]
  false.whatever=
  true.priority=1
  true.executable=cat
  # hg update -C 1
  $ hg merge -y -r 2 --config merge-tools.true.checkchanged=1
  merging f
  revision 1
  space
  revision 0
  space
  revision 2
  space
   output file f appears unchanged
  was merge successful (yn)? n
  merging f failed!
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon

#if symlink

internal merge cannot handle symlinks and shouldn't try:

  $ hg update -q -C 1
  $ rm f
  $ ln -s symlink f
  $ hg commit -qm 'f is symlink'
  $ hg merge -r 2 --tool internal:merge
  merging f
  warning: internal :merge cannot merge symlinks for f
  merging f incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon
