path: introduce a `path://` syntax to reference other path name
This make it easier for a path to reuse the same location of another path with different parameter. This is useful to create path "alias" with common config option.
This will become very useful to create path that reference a list of other path.
This changeset focus on implemented the basic feature, future changesets will
deal with various error management (and associated testing).
Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10263
== New Features ==
* `hg purge`/`hg clean` can now delete ignored files instead of
untracked files, with the new -i flag.
* `hg pull` now has a `--confirm` flag to prompt before applying changes.
Config option `pull.confirm` is also added for that.
* `hg log` now defaults to using an '%' symbol for commits involved
in unresolved merge conflicts. That includes unresolved conflicts
caused by e.g. `hg update --merge` and `hg graft`. '@' still takes
precedence, so what used to be marked '@' still is.
* New `conflictlocal()` and `conflictother()` revsets return the
commits that are being merged, when there are conflicts. Also works
for conflicts caused by e.g. `hg graft`.
* `hg copy --forget` can be used to unmark a file as copied.
* The `format.revlog-compression` configuration entry now accept a list. The
first available option will be used. for example setting::
[format]
revlog-compression=zstd, zlib
Will use `zstd` compression for new repositories is available, and will
simply fall back to `zlib` if not.
* `hg debugmergestate` output is now templated, which may be useful
e.g. for IDEs that want to help the user resolve merge conflicts.
== New Experimental Features ==
* `hg copy` now supports a `--at-rev` argument to mark files as
copied in the specified commit. It only works with `--after` for
now (i.e., it's only useful for marking files copied using non-hg
`cp` as copied).
* Use `hg copy --forget --at-rev REV` to unmark already committed
copies.
== Bug Fixes ==
* Fix server exception when concurrent pushes delete the same bookmark
* Prevent pushes of divergent bookmarks (foo@remote)
* The push error "remote repository changed while pushing - please
try again" now only happens when a concurrent push changed related
heads (instead of when a concurrent pushed any revision).
== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==
* When `hg rebase` pauses for merge conflict resolution, the working
copy will no longer have the rebased node as a second parent. You
can use the new `conflictparents()` revset for finding the other
parent during a conflict.
* `hg rebase` now accepts repeated `--source` and `--base`
arguments. For example, `hg rebase --source 'A + B'` is equivalent
to `hg rebase --source A --source B`. This is a
backwards-incompatible change because it will break overriding an
alias `myrebase = rebase --source A` by `hg myrebase --source B`
(it will now rebase `(A + B)::` instead of `B::`).
* `hg recover` does not verify the validity of the whole repository
anymore. You can pass `--verify` or call `hg verify` if necessary.
* `hg debugmergestate` output format changed. Let us know if that is
causing you problems and we'll roll it back.
* Resolved merge conflicts are now cleared by `hg commit` even if the
working copy has no changes.
== Internal API Changes ==
* The deprecated `ui.progress()` has now been deleted. Please use
`ui.makeprogress()` instead.
* `hg.merge()` now takes a `ctx` instead of the previous `repo` and
`node` arguments.
* `hg.merge()` has lost its `abort` argument. Please call
`hg.abortmerge()` directly instead.
* `hg.merge()` has lost its `mergeforce` argument. It should have
only ever been called with the same value as the `force` argument.
* The `*others` argument of `cmdutil.check_incompatible_arguments()`
changed from being varargs argument to being a single collection.
