util: adjust 'datapath' to be correct in a frozen OS X package
Apparently unlike py2exe, py2app copies the Mercurial source tree as-is to a
Contents/Resources subdirectory of an app bundle, and places its binary stub in
Contents/MacOS. (The Windows install has the 'hgext' and 'mercurial' modules in
'lib/library.zip', while the help and templates subdirectories have been moved
out of the mercurial directory to the root of the installation. I assume that
the python code living in a zip file is why "py2exe doesn't support __file__".)
Therefore, prior to this change, Mercurial in a frozen app bundle on OS X would
go looking for help *.txt, templates and locale info in Contents/MacOS, where
they don't exist.
There are only a handful of places that test for frozen, and not all of them are
wrong for OS X, so it seems wiser to handle them on a case by case basis, rather
that try to change mainfrozen(). The remaining cases are:
1) util.hgexecutable() wrongly points to the bundled python executable, and
affects $HG in util.system() launched processes (e.g. external hooks)
2) util.hgcmd() wrongly points to the bundled python executable, but it seems
to only affect 'hg serve -d'
3) hook._pythonhook() may be OK, since I didn't see anything outrageous when
printing sys.path from an internal hook. I'm not sure if this special
case is needed on OS X though.
4) sslutil._plainapplepython() is OK, because sys.executable is not
/usr/bin/python, nor is it in /System/Library/Frameworks

Synopsis ======== The Mercurial system uses a file called ``.hgignore`` in the root directory of a repository to control its behavior when it searches for files that it is not currently tracking. Description =========== The working directory of a Mercurial repository will often contain files that should not be tracked by Mercurial. These include backup files created by editors and build products created by compilers. These files can be ignored by listing them in a ``.hgignore`` file in the root of the working directory. The ``.hgignore`` file must be created manually. It is typically put under version control, so that the settings will propagate to other repositories with push and pull. An untracked file is ignored if its path relative to the repository root directory, or any prefix path of that path, is matched against any pattern in ``.hgignore``. For example, say we have an untracked file, ``file.c``, at ``a/b/file.c`` inside our repository. Mercurial will ignore ``file.c`` if any pattern in ``.hgignore`` matches ``a/b/file.c``, ``a/b`` or ``a``. In addition, a Mercurial configuration file can reference a set of per-user or global ignore files. See the ``ignore`` configuration key on the ``[ui]`` section of :hg:`help config` for details of how to configure these files. To control Mercurial's handling of files that it manages, many commands support the ``-I`` and ``-X`` options; see :hg:`help <command>` and :hg:`help patterns` for details. Files that are already tracked are not affected by .hgignore, even if they appear in .hgignore. An untracked file X can be explicitly added with :hg:`add X`, even if X would be excluded by a pattern in .hgignore. Syntax ====== An ignore file is a plain text file consisting of a list of patterns, with one pattern per line. Empty lines are skipped. The ``#`` character is treated as a comment character, and the ``\`` character is treated as an escape character. Mercurial supports several pattern syntaxes. The default syntax used is Python/Perl-style regular expressions. To change the syntax used, use a line of the following form:: syntax: NAME where ``NAME`` is one of the following: ``regexp`` Regular expression, Python/Perl syntax. ``glob`` Shell-style glob. The chosen syntax stays in effect when parsing all patterns that follow, until another syntax is selected. Neither glob nor regexp patterns are rooted. A glob-syntax pattern of the form ``*.c`` will match a file ending in ``.c`` in any directory, and a regexp pattern of the form ``\.c$`` will do the same. To root a regexp pattern, start it with ``^``. Subdirectories can have their own .hgignore settings by adding ``subinclude:path/to/subdir/.hgignore`` to the root ``.hgignore``. See :hg:`help patterns` for details on ``subinclude:`` and ``include:``. .. note:: Patterns specified in other than ``.hgignore`` are always rooted. Please see :hg:`help patterns` for details. Example ======= Here is an example ignore file. :: # use glob syntax. syntax: glob *.elc *.pyc *~ # switch to regexp syntax. syntax: regexp ^\.pc/
