histedit: preserve initial author on fold (
issue4296)
When the authorship of the changeset folded in does not match that of
the base changeset, we currently use the configured ui.username
instead. This is especially surprising when the user is not the author
of either of the changesets. In such cases, the resulting authorship
(the user's) is clearly incorrect. Even when the user is folding in a
patch they authored themselves, it's not clear whether they should
take over the authorship. Let's instead keep it simple and always
preserve the base changeset's authorship. This is also how
"git rebase -i" handles folding/squashing.
$ "$TESTDIR/hghave" symlink || exit 80
Create extension that can disable symlink support:
$ cat > nolink.py <<EOF
> from mercurial import extensions, util
> def setflags(orig, f, l, x):
> pass
> def checklink(orig, path):
> return False
> def extsetup(ui):
> extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'setflags', setflags)
> extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'checklink', checklink)
> EOF

Simulate a checkout shared on NFS/Samba:
$ hg clone -q unix-repo shared
$ cd shared
$ rm b
$ echo foo > b
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py status --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Make a clone using placeholders:
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py clone . ../win-repo
updating to branch default
2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd ../win-repo
$ cat b
a (no-eol)
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
Empty placeholder:
$ rm b
$ touch b
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Write binary data to the placeholder:
>>> open('b', 'w').write('this is a binary\0')
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Write a long string to the placeholder:
>>> open('b', 'w').write('this' * 1000)
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Commit shouldn't succeed:
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
nothing changed

Write a valid string to the placeholder:
>>> open('b', 'w').write('this')
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
