help: eliminate duplicate text for revset string patterns
There's no reason to duplicate this so many times, and it's likely an instance
will be missed if support for a new pattern is added and documented. The
stringmatcher is mostly used by revsets, though it is also used for the 'tag'
related templates, and namespace filtering in the journal extension. So maybe
there's a better place to document it. `hg help patterns` seems inappropriate,
because that is all file pattern matching.
While here, indicate how to perform case insensitive regex searches.
Test if logtoprocess correctly captures command-related log calls.
$ hg init
$ cat > $TESTTMP/foocommand.py << EOF
> from mercurial import cmdutil
> from time import sleep
> cmdtable = {}
> command = cmdutil.command(cmdtable)
> @command('foo', [])
> def foo(ui, repo):
> ui.log('foo', 'a message: %(bar)s\n', bar='spam')
> EOF
$ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
> [extensions]
> logtoprocess=
> foocommand=$TESTTMP/foocommand.py
> [logtoprocess]
> command=echo 'logtoprocess command output:';
> echo "\$EVENT";
> echo "\$MSG1";
> echo "\$MSG2"
> commandfinish=echo 'logtoprocess commandfinish output:';
> echo "\$EVENT";
> echo "\$MSG1";
> echo "\$MSG2";
> echo "\$MSG3"
> foo=echo 'logtoprocess foo output:';
> echo "\$EVENT";
> echo "\$MSG1";
> echo "\$OPT_BAR"
> EOF
Running a command triggers both a ui.log('command') and a
ui.log('commandfinish') call. The foo command also uses ui.log.
Use head to ensure we wait for all lines to be produced, and sort to avoid
ordering issues between the various processes we spawn:
$ hg foo | head -n 17 | sort
0
