bookmarks: keep bookmarks in .hg/store if new config set
Bookmarks storage consists of two parts: (1) the set of bookmarks and
their positions, and (2) the current bookmark. The former can get
updated by exchange, while the latter cannot. However, they are both
stored in directly .hg/ and protected by repo.wlock(). As a result,
ugly workarounds were needed. This patch introduces a new config
option to store the set of bookmarks and their positions in .hg/store/
but still storing the current bookmark directory in .hg/. The config
option only takes effect at repo creation time. It results in a new
requirement being set.

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.
