tests: support passing testcase after .t paths that have path separators This probably could have been implemented by changing the regex above this bit of code, but I wasn't sure if it would end up handling various OSes correctly, so I decided to go with this version instead. Previously: $ tests/run-tests.py tests/test-ssh.t -l running 2 tests using 2 parallel processes .. # Ran 2 tests, 0 skipped, 0 failed. $ tests/run-tests.py tests/test-ssh.t#sshv1 -l running 0 tests using 0 parallel processes # Ran 0 tests, 0 skipped, 0 failed. Now: $ tests/run-tests.py tests/test-ssh.t -l running 2 tests using 2 parallel processes .. # Ran 2 tests, 0 skipped, 0 failed. $ tests/run-tests.py tests/test-ssh.t#sshv1 -l running 1 tests using 1 parallel processes . # Ran 1 tests, 0 skipped, 0 failed.

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
