templater: take any string literals as template, but not for rawstring (BC)
This patch series is intended to unify the interpretation of string literals.
It is breaking change that boldly assumes
a. string literal "..." never contains template-like fragment or it is
intended to be a template
b. we tend to use raw string literal r"..." for regexp pattern in which "{"
should have different meaning
Currently, we don't have a comprehensible rule how string literals are
evaluated in template functions. For example, fill() takes "initialindent"
and "hangindent" as templates, but not for "text", whereas "text" is a
template in pad() function.
date(date, fmt)
diff(includepattern, excludepattern)
fill(text, width, initialident: T, hangindent: T)
get(dict, key)
if(expr, then: T, else: T)
ifcontains(search, thing, then: T, else: T)
ifeq(expr1, expr2, then: T, else: T)
indent(text, indentchars, firstline)
join(list, sep)
label(label: T, expr: T)
pad(text: T, width, fillchar, right)
revset(query, formatargs...])
rstdoc(text, style)
shortest(node, minlength)
startswith(pattern, text)
strip(text, chars)
sub(pattern, replacement, expression: T)
word(number, text, separator)
expr % template: T
T: interpret "string" or r"rawstring" as template
This patch series adjusts the rule as follows:
a. string literal, '' or "", starts template processing (BC)
b. raw string literal, r'' or r"", disables both \-escape and template
processing (BC, done by subsequent patches)
c. fragment not surrounded by {} is non-templated string
"ccc{'aaa'}{r'bbb'}"
------------------ *: template
--- c: string
--- a: template
--- b: rawstring
Because this can eliminate the compilation of template arguments from the
evaluation phase, "hg log -Tdefault" gets faster.
% cd mozilla-central
% LANG=C HGRCPATH=/dev/null hg log -Tdefault -r0:10000 --time > /dev/null
before: real 4.870 secs (user 4.860+0.000 sys 0.010+0.000)
after: real 3.480 secs (user 3.440+0.000 sys 0.030+0.000)
Also, this will allow us to parse nested templates at once for better error
indication.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be used by GNU patch and many other standard tools. While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the following information: - executable status and other permission bits - copy or rename information - changes in binary files - creation or deletion of empty files Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this format. This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository (e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary format for communicating changes. To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff] section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
