tests/run-tests: avoid C:/ in arguments MSYS replaces C:/... in arguments with C;... as it interprets the C:/ as a colon separated POSIX path list. The colon is replaced with ; (path separator on Windows) according to http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion So we must not replace \ with / for neither $TESTTMP nor $TESTDIR, but we have to keep replacing \ with / for the Popen4 call of function hghave. If we don't do the latter, test-run-tests.t will fail with $ python run-tests.py --local test-run-tests.t --- C:\Users\adi\hgrepos\hg-main\tests\test-run-tests.t +++ C:\Users\adi\hgrepos\hg-main\tests\test-run-tests.t.err @@ -70,6 +70,7 @@ tested #else $ echo skipped + skipped #endif #if false An additional tweak in test-ssh.t is needed that globs away an encoded path, as it can't be translated back to $TESTTMP, because the backslashes in the output have been already encoded as %5C. This patch makes test-ssh.t pass in MSYS on Windows.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
