setup: prefer using the system hg to interact with the local repository
Add a findhg() function that tries to be smarter about figuring out how to run
hg for examining the local repository. It first tries running "hg" from the
user's PATH, with the default HGRCPATH settings intact, but with HGPLAIN
enabled. This will generally use the same version of mercurial and the same
settings used to originally clone the repository, and should have a higher
chance of working successfully than trying to run the hg script from the local
repository. If that fails findhg() falls back to the existing behavior of
running the local hg script.
$ hg init
$ echo foo > foo
$ echo bar > bar
$ hg ci -qAm 'add foo bar'
$ echo foo2 >> foo
$ echo bleh > bar
$ hg ci -m 'change foo bar'
$ hg up -qC 0
$ hg mv foo foo1
$ echo foo1 > foo1
$ hg cat foo >> foo1
$ hg ci -m 'mv foo foo1'
created new head
$ hg merge
merging foo1 and foo to foo1
1 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
$ hg debugstate --nodates
m 0 -2 unset bar
m 0 -2 unset foo1
copy: foo -> foo1
$ hg st -q
M bar
M foo1
Removing foo1 and bar:
$ cp foo1 F
$ cp bar B
$ hg rm -f foo1 bar
$ hg debugstate --nodates
r 0 -1 set bar
r 0 -1 set foo1
copy: foo -> foo1
$ hg st -qC
R bar
R foo1
Re-adding foo1 and bar:
$ cp F foo1
$ cp B bar
$ hg add -v foo1 bar
adding bar
adding foo1
$ hg debugstate --nodates
n 0 -2 unset bar
n 0 -2 unset foo1
copy: foo -> foo1
$ hg st -qC
M bar
M foo1
foo
Reverting foo1 and bar:
$ hg revert -vr . foo1 bar
saving current version of bar as bar.orig
reverting bar
saving current version of foo1 as foo1.orig
reverting foo1
$ hg debugstate --nodates
n 0 -2 unset bar
n 0 -2 unset foo1
copy: foo -> foo1
$ hg st -qC
M bar
M foo1
foo
$ hg diff
Merge should not overwrite local file that is untracked after remove
$ rm *
$ hg up -qC
$ hg rm bar
$ hg ci -m 'remove bar'
$ echo 'memories of buried pirate treasure' > bar
$ hg merge
bar: untracked file differs
abort: untracked files in working directory differ from files in requested revision
[255]
$ cat bar
memories of buried pirate treasure
Those who use force will lose
$ hg merge -f
other [merge rev] changed bar which local [working copy] deleted
use (c)hanged version, leave (d)eleted, or leave (u)nresolved? u
merging foo1 and foo to foo1
0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon
