util: adjust hgcmd() to handle frozen Mercurial on OS X
Previously, 'hg serve -d' was trying to exec the bundled python executable,
which failed with:
Unknown option: --
usage: python [option] ...
Try 'python -h'...
abort: child process failed to start
See the previous patch for details about the content of the various command
variables. Note that unlike the previous patch here an application bundling
Mercurial could set $HG in the environment to get the correct result, there
isn't anything that a bundling application could do to get the correct result
here.
'hg serve -d' now launches under TortoiseHg, and there is a process listed in
the background, but a client process cannot connect to it for some reason, so
more investigation is needed.

Mercurial allows you to customize output of commands through templates. You can either pass in a template or select an existing template-style from the command line, via the --template option. You can customize output for any "log-like" command: log, outgoing, incoming, tip, parents, and heads. Some built-in styles are packaged with Mercurial. These can be listed with :hg:`log --template list`. Example usage:: $ hg log -r1.0::1.1 --template changelog A template is a piece of text, with markup to invoke variable expansion:: $ hg log -r1 --template "{node}\n" b56ce7b07c52de7d5fd79fb89701ea538af65746 Strings in curly braces are called keywords. The availability of keywords depends on the exact context of the templater. These keywords are usually available for templating a log-like command: .. keywordsmarker The "date" keyword does not produce human-readable output. If you want to use a date in your output, you can use a filter to process it. Filters are functions which return a string based on the input variable. Be sure to use the stringify filter first when you're applying a string-input filter to a list-like input variable. You can also use a chain of filters to get the desired output:: $ hg tip --template "{date|isodate}\n" 2008-08-21 18:22 +0000 List of filters: .. filtersmarker Note that a filter is nothing more than a function call, i.e. ``expr|filter`` is equivalent to ``filter(expr)``. In addition to filters, there are some basic built-in functions: .. functionsmarker Also, for any expression that returns a list, there is a list operator: - expr % "{template}" As seen in the above example, "{template}" is interpreted as a template. To prevent it from being interpreted, you can use an escape character "\{" or a raw string prefix, "r'...'". Some sample command line templates: - Format lists, e.g. files:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "files:\n{files % ' {file}\n'}" - Join the list of files with a ", ":: $ hg log -r 0 --template "files: {join(files, ', ')}\n" - Modify each line of a commit description:: $ hg log --template "{splitlines(desc) % '**** {line}\n'}" - Format date:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{date(date, '%Y')}\n" - Display date in UTC:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{localdate(date, 'UTC')|date}\n" - Output the description set to a fill-width of 30:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{fill(desc, 30)}" - Use a conditional to test for the default branch:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{ifeq(branch, 'default', 'on the main branch', 'on branch {branch}')}\n" - Append a newline if not empty:: $ hg tip --template "{if(author, '{author}\n')}" - Label the output for use with the color extension:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{label('changeset.{phase}', node|short)}\n" - Invert the firstline filter, i.e. everything but the first line:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{sub(r'^.*\n?\n?', '', desc)}\n" - Display the contents of the 'extra' field, one per line:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{join(extras, '\n')}\n" - Mark the active bookmark with '*':: $ hg log --template "{bookmarks % '{bookmark}{ifeq(bookmark, active, '*')} '}\n" - Find the previous release candidate tag, the distance and changes since the tag:: $ hg log -r . --template "{latesttag('re:^.*-rc$') % '{tag}, {changes}, {distance}'}\n" - Mark the working copy parent with '@':: $ hg log --template "{ifcontains(rev, revset('.'), '@')}\n" - Show details of parent revisions:: $ hg log --template "{revset('parents(%d)', rev) % '{desc|firstline}\n'}" - Show only commit descriptions that start with "template":: $ hg log --template "{startswith('template', firstline(desc))}\n" - Print the first word of each line of a commit message:: $ hg log --template "{word(0, desc)}\n"
