narrowspec: replace one recursion-avoidance hack with another
When updating the working copy narrowspec, we call context.walk() in
order to find which files to update the working copy
with. context.walk() calls repo.narrowmatch(). In order to avoid
infinite recursion in this case, we have a hack that assigns the new
values for repo.narrowpats and repo._narrowmatch. However, doing that
of course breaks future invalidation of those properties (they're
@storecache'd). Let's instead avoid the infinite recursion by setting
a flag on the repo instance when we're updating the working copy.

Some Mercurial commands can produce a lot of output, and Mercurial will attempt to use a pager to make those commands more pleasant. To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable:: [pager] pager = less -FRX If no pager is set in the user or repository configuration, Mercurial uses the environment variable $PAGER. If $PAGER is not set, pager.pager from the default or system configuration is used. If none of these are set, a default pager will be used, typically `less` on Unix and `more` on Windows. .. container:: windows On Windows, `more` is not color aware, so using it effectively disables color. MSYS and Cygwin shells provide `less` as a pager, which can be configured to support ANSI color codes. See :hg:`help config.color.pagermode` to configure the color mode when invoking a pager. You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the pager.ignore list:: [pager] ignore = version, help, update To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have to specify them in your user configuration file. To control whether the pager is used at all for an individual command, you can use --pager=<value>: - use as needed: `auto`. - require the pager: `yes` or `on`. - suppress the pager: `no` or `off` (any unrecognized value will also work). To globally turn off all attempts to use a pager, set:: [ui] paginate = never which will prevent the pager from running.
