verify: don't init subrepo when missing one is referenced (issue5128) (API)
Initializing a subrepo when one doesn't exist is the right thing to do when the
parent is being updated, but in few other cases. Unfortunately, there isn't
enough context in the subrepo module to distinguish this case. This same issue
can be caused with other subrepo aware commands, so there is a general issue
here beyond the scope of this fix.
A simpler attempt I tried was to add an '_updating' boolean to localrepo, and
set/clear it around the call to mergemod.update() in hg.updaterepo(). That
mostly worked, but doesn't handle the case where archive will clone the subrepo
if it is missing. (I vaguely recall that there may be other commands that will
clone if needed like this, but certainly not all do. It seems both handy, and a
bit surprising for what should be a read only operation. It might be nice if
all commands did this consistently, but we probably need Angel's subrepo caching
first, to not make a mess of the working directory.)
I originally handled 'Exception' in order to pick up the Aborts raised in
subrepo.state(), but this turns out to be unnecessary because that is called
once and cached by ctx.sub() when iterating the subrepos.
It was suggested in the bug discussion to skip looking at the subrepo links
unless -S is specified. I don't really like that idea because missing a subrepo
or (less likely, but worse) a corrupt .hgsubstate is a problem of the parent
repo when checking out a revision. The -S option seems like a better fit for
functionality that would recurse into each subrepo and do a full verification.
Ultimately, the default value for 'allowcreate' should probably be flipped, but
since the default behavior was to allow creation, this is less risky for now.

HG Path to the 'hg' executable, automatically passed when running hooks, extensions or external tools. If unset or empty, this is the hg executable's name if it's frozen, or an executable named 'hg' (with %PATHEXT% [defaulting to COM/EXE/BAT/CMD] extensions on Windows) is searched. HGEDITOR This is the name of the editor to run when committing. See EDITOR. (deprecated, use configuration file) HGENCODING This overrides the default locale setting detected by Mercurial. This setting is used to convert data including usernames, changeset descriptions, tag names, and branches. This setting can be overridden with the --encoding command-line option. HGENCODINGMODE This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling unknown characters while transcoding user input. The default is "strict", which causes Mercurial to abort if it can't map a character. Other settings include "replace", which replaces unknown characters, and "ignore", which drops them. This setting can be overridden with the --encodingmode command-line option. HGENCODINGAMBIGUOUS This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling characters with "ambiguous" widths like accented Latin characters with East Asian fonts. By default, Mercurial assumes ambiguous characters are narrow, set this variable to "wide" if such characters cause formatting problems. HGMERGE An executable to use for resolving merge conflicts. The program will be executed with three arguments: local file, remote file, ancestor file. (deprecated, use configuration file) HGRCPATH A list of files or directories to search for configuration files. Item separator is ":" on Unix, ";" on Windows. If HGRCPATH is not set, platform default search path is used. If empty, only the .hg/hgrc from the current repository is read. For each element in HGRCPATH: - if it's a directory, all files ending with .rc are added - otherwise, the file itself will be added HGPLAIN When set, this disables any configuration settings that might change Mercurial's default output. This includes encoding, defaults, verbose mode, debug mode, quiet mode, tracebacks, and localization. This can be useful when scripting against Mercurial in the face of existing user configuration. Equivalent options set via command line flags or environment variables are not overridden. HGPLAINEXCEPT This is a comma-separated list of features to preserve when HGPLAIN is enabled. Currently the following values are supported: ``alias`` Don't remove aliases. ``i18n`` Preserve internationalization. ``revsetalias`` Don't remove revset aliases. ``templatealias`` Don't remove template aliases. ``progress`` Don't hide progress output. Setting HGPLAINEXCEPT to anything (even an empty string) will enable plain mode. HGUSER This is the string used as the author of a commit. If not set, available values will be considered in this order: - HGUSER (deprecated) - configuration files from the HGRCPATH - EMAIL - interactive prompt - LOGNAME (with ``@hostname`` appended) (deprecated, use configuration file) EMAIL May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER. LOGNAME May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER. VISUAL This is the name of the editor to use when committing. See EDITOR. EDITOR Sometimes Mercurial needs to open a text file in an editor for a user to modify, for example when writing commit messages. The editor it uses is determined by looking at the environment variables HGEDITOR, VISUAL and EDITOR, in that order. The first non-empty one is chosen. If all of them are empty, the editor defaults to 'vi'. PYTHONPATH This is used by Python to find imported modules and may need to be set appropriately if this Mercurial is not installed system-wide.
