mq: remove qrefresh slow path (
issue2025)
The slow path/fast path distinction has existed since mq was added to Mercurial
in 2006. The slow path was used whenever the refreshed revision wasn't the tip
Mercurial reads configuration data from several files, if they exist.
Below we list the most specific file first.
On Windows, these configuration files are read:
- ``<repo>\.hg\hgrc``
- ``%USERPROFILE%\.hgrc``
- ``%USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini``
- ``%HOME%\.hgrc``
- ``%HOME%\Mercurial.ini``
- ``C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini``
- ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercurial``
- ``<install-dir>\Mercurial.ini``
On Unix, these files are read:
- ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc``
- ``$HOME/.hgrc``
- ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``
- ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc``
- ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc``
- ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc``
The configuration files for Mercurial use a simple ini-file format. A
configuration file consists of sections, led by a ``[section]`` header
and followed by ``name = value`` entries::
[ui]
username = Firstname Lastname <firstname.lastname@example.net>
verbose = True
This above entries will be referred to as ``ui.username`` and
``ui.verbose``, respectively. Please see the hgrc man page for a full
description of the possible configuration values:
- on Unix-like systems: ``man hgrc``
