overlayworkingctx: fix file/dir audit to be repo-relative Before this patch, test-rebase-inmemory.t would stop erroring out about the conflict if you added a "cd a" before line 252. That was because a glob matcher (which are relative) was unintentionally used. That happened because the matcher was given "include" patterns (not regular patterns), and "include" patterns are always glob by default (i.e. unless you write them including the kind prefix). IOW, the "default='path'" argument passed to ctx.match() was ignored. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6223

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
