bundlerepo: dynamically create repository type from base repository Previously, bundlerepository inherited from localrepo.localrepository. You simply instantiated a bundlerepository and its __init__ called localrepo.localrepository.__init__. Things were simple. Unfortunately, this strategy is limiting because it assumes that the base repository is a localrepository instance. And it assumes various properties of localrepository, such as the arguments its __init__ takes. And it prevents us from changing behavior of localrepository.__init__ without also having to change derived classes. Previous and ongoing work to abstract storage revealed these limitations. This commit changes the initialization strategy of bundle repositories to dynamically create a type to represent the repository. Instead of a static type, we instantiate a new local repo instance via localrepo.instance(). We then combine its __class__ with bundlerepository to produce a new type. This ensures that no matter how localrepo.instance() decides to create a repository object, we can derive a bundle repo object from it. i.e. localrepo.instance() could return a type that isn't a localrepository and it would "just work." Well, it would "just work" if bundlerepository's custom implementations only accessed attributes in the documented repository interface. I'm pretty sure it violates the interface contract in a handful of places. But we can worry about that another day. This change gets us closer to doing more clever things around instantiating repository instances without having to worry about teaching bundlerepository about them. .. api:: ``bundlerepo.bundlerepository`` is no longer usable on its own. The class is combined with the class of the base repository it is associated with at run-time. New bundlerepository instances can be obtained by calling ``bundlerepo.instance()`` or ``bundlerepo.makebundlerepository()``. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4555
