match: introduce boolean prefix() method
tl;dr: This is another step towards a (previously unstated) goal of
eliminating match.files() in conditions.
There are four types of matchers:
* always: Matches everything, checked with always(), files() is empty
* exact: Matches exact set of files, checked with isexact(), files()
contains the files to match
* patterns: Matches more complex patterns, checked with anypats(),
files() contains roots of the matched patterns
* prefix: Matches simple 'path:' patterns as prefixes ('foo' matches
both 'foo' and 'foo/bar'), no single method to check, files()
contains the prefixes to match
For completeness, it would be nice to have a method for checking for
the "prefix" type of matcher as well, so let's add that, making it
return True simply when none of the others do.
The larger goal here is to eliminate uses of match.files() in
conditions (i.e. bool(match.files())). The reason for this is that
there are scenarios when you would like to create a "prefix" matcher
that happens to match no files. One example is for 'hg files -I foo
bar'. The narrowmatcher also restricts the set of files given and it
would not surprise me if have bugs caused by that already. Note that
'if m.files() and not m.anypats()' and similar is sometimes used to
catch the "exact" and "prefix" cases above.
$ echo "[extensions]" >> $HGRCPATH
$ echo "mq=" >> $HGRCPATH
$ hg init foo
$ cd foo
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -qAm a
Default queue:
$ hg qqueue
patches (active)
$ echo b > a
$ hg qnew -fgDU somestuff
Applied patches in default queue:
$ hg qap
somestuff
Try to change patch (create succeeds, switch fails):
$ hg qqueue foo --create
abort: new queue created, but cannot make active as patches are applied
[255]
$ hg qqueue
foo
patches (active)
Empty default queue:
$ hg qpop
popping somestuff
patch queue now empty
Switch queue:
$ hg qqueue foo
$ hg qqueue
foo (active)
patches
List queues, quiet:
$ hg qqueue --quiet
foo
patches
Fail creating queue with already existing name:
$ hg qqueue --create foo
abort: queue "foo" already exists
[255]
$ hg qqueue
foo (active)
patches
Create new queue for rename:
$ hg qqueue --create bar
$ hg qqueue
bar (active)
foo
patches
Rename queue, same name:
$ hg qqueue --rename bar
abort: can't rename "bar" to its current name
[255]
Rename queue to existing:
$ hg qqueue --rename foo
abort: queue "foo" already exists
[255]
Rename queue:
$ hg qqueue --rename buz
$ hg qqueue
buz (active)
foo
patches
Switch back to previous queue:
$ hg qqueue foo
$ hg qqueue --delete buz
$ hg qqueue
foo (active)
patches
Create queue for purge:
$ hg qqueue --create purge-me
$ hg qqueue
foo
patches
purge-me (active)
Create patch for purge:
$ hg qnew patch-purge-me
$ ls -1d .hg/patches-purge-me 2>/dev/null || true
.hg/patches-purge-me
$ hg qpop -a
popping patch-purge-me
patch queue now empty
Purge queue:
$ hg qqueue foo
$ hg qqueue --purge purge-me
$ hg qqueue
foo (active)
patches
$ ls -1d .hg/patches-purge-me 2>/dev/null || true
Unapplied patches:
$ hg qun
$ echo c > a
$ hg qnew -fgDU otherstuff
Fail switching back:
$ hg qqueue patches
abort: new queue created, but cannot make active as patches are applied
[255]
Fail deleting current:
$ hg qqueue foo --delete
abort: cannot delete currently active queue
[255]
Switch back and delete foo:
$ hg qpop -a
popping otherstuff
patch queue now empty
$ hg qqueue patches
$ hg qqueue foo --delete
$ hg qqueue
patches (active)
Tricky cases:
$ hg qqueue store --create
$ hg qnew journal
$ hg qqueue
patches
store (active)
$ hg qpop -a
popping journal
patch queue now empty
$ hg qqueue patches
$ hg qun
somestuff
Invalid names:
$ hg qqueue test/../../bar --create
abort: invalid queue name, may not contain the characters ":\/."
[255]
$ hg qqueue . --create
abort: invalid queue name, may not contain the characters ":\/."
