convert: add a mode where mercurial_sink skips empty revisions.
The getchanges function of some converter_source classes can return
some false positives. I.e. they sometimes claim that a file "foo"
was changed in some revision, even though its contents are still the
same.
convert_svn is particularly bad, but I think this can also happen with
convert_cvs and, at least in theory, with mercurial_source.
For regular conversions this is not really a problem - as long as
getfile returns the right contents, we'll get a converted revision
with the right contents. But when we use --filemap, this could lead
to superfluous revisions being converted.
Instead of fixing every converter_source, I decided to change
mercurial_sink to work around this problem.
When --filemap is used, we're interested only in revisions that touch
some specific files. If a revision doesn't change any of these files,
then we're not interested in it (at least for revisions with a single
parent; merges are special).
For mercurial_sink, we abuse this property and rollback a commit if
the manifest text hasn't changed. This avoids duplicating the logic
from localrepo.filecommit to detect unchanged files.

The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat jury-rigged fashion. It has the following prerequisites, at least as I build it: Python for Windows http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.3/python-2.4.3.msi MinGW http://www.mingw.org/ Python for Windows Extensions http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ mfc71.dll (just download, don't install) http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/ The py2exe distutils extension http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/ Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ISTool - optional http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/ add_path (you need only add_path.exe in the zip file) http://www.barisione.org/apps.html#add_path And, of course, Mercurial itself. Once you have all this installed and built, clone a copy of the Mercurial repository you want to package, and name the repo C:\hg\hg-release. In a shell, build a standalone copy of the hg.exe program: python setup.py build -c mingw32 python setup.py py2exe -b 1 Note: the previously suggested combined command of "python setup.py build -c mingw32 py2exe -b 1" doesn't work correctly anymore as it doesn't include the extensions in the mercurial subdirectory. If you want to create a file named setup.cfg with the contents: [build] compiler=mingw32 you can skip the first build step. Copy mfc71.dll and add_path.exe into the dist directory that just got created. If you use ISTool, you open the C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\win32\mercurial.iss file and type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file. Otherwise you run the Inno Setup compiler. Assuming it's on the path you run: iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss The actual installer will be in the C:\hg\hg-release\Output directory. To automate the steps above you may want to create a batchfile based on the following: echo [build] > setup.cfg echo compiler=mingw32 >> setup.cfg python setup.py py2exe -b 1 iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss and run it from the root of the hg repository (c:\hg\hg-release).
