largefiles: when setting/clearing x bit on largefiles, don't change other bits
It is only the X bit that it matters to copy from the standin to the largefile
in the working directory. While it generally doesn't do any harm to copy the
whole mode, it is also "wrong" to copy more than the X bit we care about. It
can make a difference if someone should try to handle largefiles differently,
such as marking them read-only.
Thus, do similar to what utils.setflags does and set the X bit where there are
R bits and obey umask.
Mercurial supports a functional language for selecting a set of
revisions.
The language supports a number of predicates which are joined by infix
operators. Parenthesis can be used for grouping.
Identifiers such as branch names may need quoting with single or
double quotes if they contain characters like ``-`` or if they match
one of the predefined predicates.
Special characters can be used in quoted identifiers by escaping them,
e.g., ``\n`` is interpreted as a newline. To prevent them from being
interpreted, strings can be prefixed with ``r``, e.g. ``r'...'``.
Prefix
======
There is a single prefix operator:
``not x``
Changesets not in x. Short form is ``! x``.
Infix
=====
These are the supported infix operators:
``x::y``
A DAG range, meaning all changesets that are descendants of x and
ancestors of y, including x and y themselves. If the first endpoint
is left out, this is equivalent to ``ancestors(y)``, if the second
is left out it is equivalent to ``descendants(x)``.
An alternative syntax is ``x..y``.
``x:y``
All changesets with revision numbers between x and y, both
inclusive. Either endpoint can be left out, they default to 0 and
tip.
``x and y``
The intersection of changesets in x and y. Short form is ``x & y``.
``x or y``
The union of changesets in x and y. There are two alternative short
forms: ``x | y`` and ``x + y``.
``x - y``
Changesets in x but not in y.
``x % y``
Changesets that are ancestors of x but not ancestors of y (i.e. ::x - ::y).
This is shorthand notation for ``only(x, y)`` (see below). The second
argument is optional and, if left out, is equivalent to ``only(x)``.
``x^n``
The nth parent of x, n == 0, 1, or 2.
For n == 0, x; for n == 1, the first parent of each changeset in x;
for n == 2, the second parent of changeset in x.
``x~n``
The nth first ancestor of x; ``x~0`` is x; ``x~3`` is ``x^^^``.
``x ## y``
Concatenate strings and identifiers into one string.
All other prefix, infix and postfix operators have lower priority than
``##``. For example, ``a1 ## a2~2`` is equivalent to ``(a1 ## a2)~2``.
For example::
[revsetalias]
issue(a1) = grep(r'\bissue[ :]?' ## a1 ## r'\b|\bbug\(' ## a1 ## r'\)')
``issue(1234)`` is equivalent to
``grep(r'\bissue[ :]?1234\b|\bbug\(1234\)')``
in this case. This matches against all of "issue 1234", "issue:1234",
"issue1234" and "bug(1234)".
Postfix
=======
There is a single postfix operator:
``x^``
Equivalent to ``x^1``, the first parent of each changeset in x.
Predicates
==========
The following predicates are supported:
.. predicatesmarker
Aliases
=======
New predicates (known as "aliases") can be defined, using any combination of
existing predicates or other aliases. An alias definition looks like::
<alias> = <definition>
in the ``revsetalias`` section of a Mercurial configuration file. Arguments
of the form `a1`, `a2`, etc. are substituted from the alias into the
definition.
For example,
::
[revsetalias]
h = heads()
d(s) = sort(s, date)
rs(s, k) = reverse(sort(s, k))
defines three aliases, ``h``, ``d``, and ``rs``. ``rs(0:tip, author)`` is
exactly equivalent to ``reverse(sort(0:tip, author))``.
Equivalents
===========
Command line equivalents for :hg:`log`::
-f -> ::.
-d x -> date(x)
-k x -> keyword(x)
-m -> merge()
-u x -> user(x)
-b x -> branch(x)
-P x -> !::x
-l x -> limit(expr, x)
Examples
========
Some sample queries:
- Changesets on the default branch::
hg log -r "branch(default)"
- Changesets on the default branch since tag 1.5 (excluding merges)::
hg log -r "branch(default) and 1.5:: and not merge()"
- Open branch heads::
hg log -r "head() and not closed()"
- Changesets between tags 1.3 and 1.5 mentioning "bug" that affect
``hgext/*``::
hg log -r "1.3::1.5 and keyword(bug) and file('hgext/*')"
- Changesets committed in May 2008, sorted by user::
hg log -r "sort(date('May 2008'), user)"
- Changesets mentioning "bug" or "issue" that are not in a tagged
release::
hg log -r "(keyword(bug) or keyword(issue)) and not ancestors(tag())"
