discovery: fix docstring of `outgoing` class
Also, introduce a more correct name `ancestorsof` for what was named
`missingheads` before. For now, we just forward `ancestorsof` to `missingheads`
until all users are changed.
There were some mistakes in the old docstring / name:
* `missingheads` (new name: `ancestorsof`) contains the revs whose ancestors
are included in the outgoing operation. It may contain non-head revs and revs
which are already on the remote, so the name "missingheads" is wrong in two
ways.
* `missing` contains only ancestors of `missingheads`, so not *all nodes*
present in local but not in remote.
* `common` might not contain all common revs, e.g. not some that are not an
ancestor of `missingheads`.
It seems like the misleading name have fostered an actual bug (
issue6372),
where `outgoing.missingheads` was used assuming that it contains the heads of
the missing changesets.
$ hg init
$ echo foo > a
$ hg add a
$ hg commit -m "1"
$ echo bar > b
$ hg add b
$ hg remove a
Should show a removed and b added:
$ hg status
A b
R a
$ hg revert --all
forgetting b
undeleting a
Should show b unknown and a back to normal:
$ hg status
? b
$ rm b
$ hg co -C 0
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ echo foo-a > a
$ hg commit -m "2a"
$ hg co -C 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ echo foo-b > a
$ hg commit -m "2b"
created new head
$ HGMERGE=true hg merge 1
merging a
0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
Should show foo-b:
$ cat a
foo-b
$ echo bar > b
$ hg add b
$ rm a
$ hg remove a
Should show a removed and b added:
$ hg status
A b
R a
Revert should fail:
$ hg revert
abort: uncommitted merge with no revision specified
(use 'hg update' or see 'hg help revert')
[255]
Revert should be ok now:
$ hg revert -r2 --all
forgetting b
undeleting a
Should show b unknown and a marked modified (merged):
$ hg status
M a
? b
Should show foo-b:
$ cat a
foo-b
