bundle2: introduce a specific function for bundling debug message
The bundling process is very verbose, we would like to be able to hide such
output behind a configuration flag and have it more explicitly referencing
bundle2. The first step is to gather all these messages in a dedicated
function.
The same gathering will be later do for debug message issue by unbundling.

Using Additional Features
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to existing
commands, change the default behavior of commands, or implement hooks.
To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this:
[extensions]
foo =
You may also specify the full path to an extension:
[extensions]
myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
See "hg help config" for more information on configuration files.
Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons: they can
increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced usage only; they
may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such as letting you destroy
or modify history); they might not be ready for prime time; or they may
alter some usual behaviors of stock Mercurial. It is thus up to the user
to activate extensions as needed.
To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !:
[extensions]
# disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
# ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
baz = !
enabled extensions:
children command to display child changesets (DEPRECATED)
rebase command to move sets of revisions to a different ancestor
disabled extensions:
acl hooks for controlling repository access
blackbox log repository events to a blackbox for debugging
bugzilla hooks for integrating with the Bugzilla bug tracker
censor erase file content at a given revision
churn command to display statistics about repository history
color colorize output from some commands
convert import revisions from foreign VCS repositories into

$ hg help diff
hg diff [OPTION]... ([-c REV] | [-r REV1 [-r REV2]]) [FILE]...
diff repository (or selected files)
Show differences between revisions for the specified files.
Differences between files are shown using the unified diff format.
Note:
diff may generate unexpected results for merges, as it will default to
comparing against the working directory's first parent changeset if no
revisions are specified.
When two revision arguments are given, then changes are shown between
those revisions. If only one revision is specified then that revision is
compared to the working directory, and, when no revisions are specified,
the working directory files are compared to its parent.
Alternatively you can specify -c/--change with a revision to see the
changes in that changeset relative to its first parent.
Without the -a/--text option, diff will avoid generating diffs of files it
detects as binary. With -a, diff will generate a diff anyway, probably
with undesirable results.
Use the -g/--git option to generate diffs in the git extended diff format.
For more information, read "hg help diffs".
Returns 0 on success.
options ([+] can be repeated):
-r --rev REV [+] revision
-c --change REV change made by revision
-a --text treat all files as text
-g --git use git extended diff format
--nodates omit dates from diff headers
--noprefix omit a/ and b/ prefixes from filenames
-p --show-function show which function each change is in
--reverse produce a diff that undoes the changes
-w --ignore-all-space ignore white space when comparing lines
-b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
-B --ignore-blank-lines ignore changes whose lines are all blank
-U --unified NUM number of lines of context to show
--stat output diffstat-style summary of changes
--root DIR produce diffs relative to subdirectory
-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
-S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
$ hg help status
hg status [OPTION]... [FILE]...
aliases: st
show changed files in the working directory
Show status of files in the repository. If names are given, only files
that match are shown. Files that are clean or ignored or the source of a
copy/move operation, are not listed unless -c/--clean, -i/--ignored,
-C/--copies or -A/--all are given. Unless options described with "show
only ..." are given, the options -mardu are used.
Option -q/--quiet hides untracked (unknown and ignored) files unless
explicitly requested with -u/--unknown or -i/--ignored.
Note:
status may appear to disagree with diff if permissions have changed or
a merge has occurred. The standard diff format does not report
permission changes and diff only reports changes relative to one merge
parent.
If one revision is given, it is used as the base revision. If two
revisions are given, the differences between them are shown. The --change
option can also be used as a shortcut to list the changed files of a
revision from its first parent.
The codes used to show the status of files are:
M = modified
A = added
R = removed
C = clean
! = missing (deleted by non-hg command, but still tracked)
? = not tracked
I = ignored
= origin of the previous file (with --copies)
Returns 0 on success.
options ([+] can be repeated):
-A --all show status of all files
-m --modified show only modified files
-a --added show only added files
-r --removed show only removed files
-d --deleted show only deleted (but tracked) files
-c --clean show only files without changes
-u --unknown show only unknown (not tracked) files
-i --ignored show only ignored files
-n --no-status hide status prefix
-C --copies show source of copied files
-0 --print0 end filenames with NUL, for use with xargs
--rev REV [+] show difference from revision
--change REV list the changed files of a revision
-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
-S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)

Specifying Single Revisions
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, -2
denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision identifier.
A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a unique
revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form identifier. A
short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix of exactly one
full-length identifier.
Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A bookmark
is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name associated
with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head of
that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":"
character.
The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.
The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the revision
of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first parent.
Test templating help
$ hg help templating | egrep '(desc|diffstat|firstline|nonempty) '
desc String. The text of the changeset description.
diffstat String. Statistics of changes with the following format:
firstline Any text. Returns the first line of text.
nonempty Any text. Returns '(none)' if the string is empty.

Changeset is a merge changeset.
$ hg help glossary.dag
DAG
The repository of changesets of a distributed version control system
(DVCS) can be described as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), consisting
of nodes and edges, where nodes correspond to changesets and edges
imply a parent -> child relation. This graph can be visualized by
graphical tools such as "hg log --graph". In Mercurial, the DAG is
limited by the requirement for children to have at most two parents.
$ hg help hgrc.paths
"paths"
-------
Assigns symbolic names to repositories. The left side is the symbolic
name, and the right gives the directory or URL that is the location of the
repository. Default paths can be declared by setting the following
entries.
"default"
Directory or URL to use when pulling if no source is specified.
Default is set to repository from which the current repository was
cloned.
"default-push"
Optional. Directory or URL to use when pushing if no destination is
specified.
Custom paths can be defined by assigning the path to a name that later can
be used from the command line. Example:
[paths]
my_path = http://example.com/path
To push to the path defined in "my_path" run the command:
hg push my_path

Merge Tools
"""""""""""
To merge files Mercurial uses merge tools.
A merge tool combines two different versions of a file into a merged file.
Merge tools are given the two files and the greatest common ancestor of
the two file versions, so they can determine the changes made on both
branches.
Merge tools are used both for "hg resolve", "hg merge", "hg update", "hg
backout" and in several extensions.
Usually, the merge tool tries to automatically reconcile the files by
combining all non-overlapping changes that occurred separately in the two
different evolutions of the same initial base file. Furthermore, some
interactive merge programs make it easier to manually resolve conflicting
merges, either in a graphical way, or by inserting some conflict markers.
Mercurial does not include any interactive merge programs but relies on
external tools for that.
Available merge tools
=====================
External merge tools and their properties are configured in the merge-
tools configuration section - see hgrc(5) - but they can often just be
named by their executable.
A merge tool is generally usable if its executable can be found on the
system and if it can handle the merge. The executable is found if it is an
absolute or relative executable path or the name of an application in the
executable search path. The tool is assumed to be able to handle the merge
if it can handle symlinks if the file is a symlink, if it can handle
binary files if the file is binary, and if a GUI is available if the tool
requires a GUI.
There are some internal merge tools which can be used. The internal merge
tools are:
":dump"
Creates three versions of the files to merge, containing the contents of
local, other and base. These files can then be used to perform a merge
manually. If the file to be merged is named "a.txt", these files will
accordingly be named "a.txt.local", "a.txt.other" and "a.txt.base" and
they will be placed in the same directory as "a.txt".
":fail"
Rather than attempting to merge files that were modified on both
branches, it marks them as unresolved. The resolve command must be used
to resolve these conflicts.
":local"
Uses the local version of files as the merged version.
":merge"
Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the
partially merged file. Markers will have two sections, one for each side
of merge.
":merge3"
Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the
partially merged file. Marker will have three sections, one from each
side of the merge and one for the base content.
":other"
Uses the other version of files as the merged version.
":prompt"
Asks the user which of the local or the other version to keep as the
merged version.
":tagmerge"
Uses the internal tag merge algorithm (experimental).
Internal tools are always available and do not require a GUI but will by
default not handle symlinks or binary files.
Choosing a merge tool
=====================
Mercurial uses these rules when deciding which merge tool to use:
1. If a tool has been specified with the --tool option to merge or
resolve, it is used. If it is the name of a tool in the merge-tools
configuration, its configuration is used. Otherwise the specified tool
must be executable by the shell.
2. If the "HGMERGE" environment variable is present, its value is used and
must be executable by the shell.
3. If the filename of the file to be merged matches any of the patterns in
the merge-patterns configuration section, the first usable merge tool
corresponding to a matching pattern is used. Here, binary capabilities
of the merge tool are not considered.
4. If ui.merge is set it will be considered next. If the value is not the
name of a configured tool, the specified value is used and must be
executable by the shell. Otherwise the named tool is used if it is
usable.
5. If any usable merge tools are present in the merge-tools configuration
section, the one with the highest priority is used.
6. If a program named "hgmerge" can be found on the system, it is used -
but it will by default not be used for symlinks and binary files.
7. If the file to be merged is not binary and is not a symlink, then
internal ":merge" is used.
8. The merge of the file fails and must be resolved before commit.
Note:
After selecting a merge program, Mercurial will by default attempt to
merge the files using a simple merge algorithm first. Only if it
doesn't succeed because of conflicting changes Mercurial will actually
execute the merge program. Whether to use the simple merge algorithm
first can be controlled by the premerge setting of the merge tool.
Premerge is enabled by default unless the file is binary or a symlink.
See the merge-tools and ui sections of hgrc(5) for details on the
configuration of merge tools.

states are Added [A], Clean [C], Modified [M] and Missing [!]
(as reported by "hg status"). The actions are Warn, Remove
(from branch) and Delete (from disk):
</p>
<table>
<tr><td>opt/state</td>

<p>
Note that remove never deletes files in Added [A] state from the
working directory, not even if option --force is specified.
</p>
<p>
Returns 0 on success, 1 if any warnings encountered.

<h1>Specifying Single Revisions</h1>
<p>
Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
</p>
<p>
A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip,
-2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
</p>
<p>
A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
identifier.
</p>
<p>
A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix
of exactly one full-length identifier.
</p>
<p>
Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A
bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name
associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head
of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character.
</p>
<p>
The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.
</p>
<p>
The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the
revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
</p>
<p>
The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first
parent.
