progress: stop excessive clearing (
issue4801)
The progress bar was being cleared on every write(), regardless of
whether it was currently displayed. This could foul up the display of
any writes that didn't include a linebreak.
In particular, the win32 mode of the color extension was turning
single prompt string writes into two writes, and the resulting
clear/write/clear/write pattern was making the prompt invisible.
We fix this by insisting that we have shown a progress bar and haven't
just cleared it (setting lastprint to 0).
Conveniently, the test suite already had instances of duplicate
clears.. that are now cleared up.
cHg
===
A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.
Install:
$ make
$ make install
Usage:
$ chg help # show help of Mercurial
$ alias hg=chg # replace hg command
$ chg --kill-chg-daemon # terminate background server
Environment variables:
Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:
* configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
* CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
background command server.
The following variables are available for testing:
* CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
* CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
