interfaces: introduce and use a protocol class for the `charencoding` module
See
f2832de2a46c for details when this was done for the `bdiff` module.
This lets us dump the hack where the `pure` implementation was imported during
the type checking phase to provide signatures for the module methods it
provides. Now the protocol classes are starting to shine, because these methods
are provided by `pure.charencoding` and `cext.parsers`, and references to
`cffi.charencoding` and `cext.charencoding` are forwarded to them as appropriate
by the `policy` module. But none of that matters, as long as the module
returned provides the listed methods.
The interface was copy/pasted from the `pure` module, but `jsonescapeu8fallback`
is omitted because it is accessed from the `pure` module directly when the
escaping fails in the primary module's `jsonescapeu8()`.
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.
* CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
Build environment variables:
* HGPATH: the path to the hg executable to call when CHGHG and HG are not set,
instead of "hg"
* HGPATHREL=1: when CHGHG and HG are not set, the hg executable will be ./hg
relative to the chg executable. Only works on linux, falls back to "hg"
otherwise.
