demandimport: delay loading for "from a import b" with absolute_import
Before this patch, "from a import b" doesn't delay loading module "b",
if absolute_import is enabled, even though "from . import b" does.
For example:
- it is assumed that extension X has "from P import M" for module M
under package P with absolute_import feature
- if importing module M is already delayed before loading extension
X, loading module M in extension X is delayed until actually
referring
util, cmdutil, scmutil or so of Mercurial itself should be
imported by "from . import M" style before loading extension X
- otherwise, module M is loaded immediately at loading extension X,
even if extension X itself isn't used at that "hg" command invocation
Some minor modules (e.g. filemerge or so) of Mercurial itself
aren't imported by "from . import M" style before loading
extension X. And of course, external libraries aren't, too.
This might cause startup performance problem of hg command, because
many bundled extensions already enable absolute_import feature.
To delay loading module for "from a import b" with absolute_import
feature, this patch does below in "from a (or .a) import b" with
absolute_import case:
1. import root module of "name" by system built-in __import__
(referred as _origimport)
2. recurse down the module chain for hierarchical "name"
This logic can be shared with non absolute_import
case. Therefore, this patch also centralizes it into chainmodules().
3. and fall through to process elements in "fromlist" for the leaf
module of "name"
Processing elements in "fromlist" is executed in the code path
after "if _pypy: .... else: ..." clause. Therefore, this patch
replaces "if _pypy:" with "elif _pypy:" to share it.
At 4f1144c3c72b introducing original "work around" for "from a import
b" case, elements in "fromlist" were imported with "level=level". But
"level" might be grater than 1 (e.g. level=2 in "from .. import b"
case) at demandimport() invocation, and importing direct sub-module in
"fromlist" with level grater than 1 causes unexpected result.
IMHO, this seems main reason of "errors for unknown reason" described
in 4f1144c3c72b, and we don't have to worry about it, because this
issue was already fixed by 78d05778907b.
This is reason why this patch removes "errors for unknown reasons"
comment.

Mercurial's internal web server, hgweb, can serve either a single repository, or a tree of repositories. In the second case, repository paths and global options can be defined using a dedicated configuration file common to :hg:`serve`, ``hgweb.wsgi``, ``hgweb.cgi`` and ``hgweb.fcgi``. This file uses the same syntax as other Mercurial configuration files but recognizes only the following sections: - web - paths - collections The ``web`` options are thoroughly described in :hg:`help config`. The ``paths`` section maps URL paths to paths of repositories in the filesystem. hgweb will not expose the filesystem directly - only Mercurial repositories can be published and only according to the configuration. The left hand side is the path in the URL. Note that hgweb reserves subpaths like ``rev`` or ``file``, try using different names for nested repositories to avoid confusing effects. The right hand side is the path in the filesystem. If the specified path ends with ``*`` or ``**`` the filesystem will be searched recursively for repositories below that point. With ``*`` it will not recurse into the repositories it finds (except for ``.hg/patches``). With ``**`` it will also search inside repository working directories and possibly find subrepositories. In this example:: [paths] /projects/a = /srv/tmprepos/a /projects/b = c:/repos/b / = /srv/repos/* /user/bob = /home/bob/repos/** - The first two entries make two repositories in different directories appear under the same directory in the web interface - The third entry will publish every Mercurial repository found in ``/srv/repos/``, for instance the repository ``/srv/repos/quux/`` will appear as ``http://server/quux/`` - The fourth entry will publish both ``http://server/user/bob/quux/`` and ``http://server/user/bob/quux/testsubrepo/`` The ``collections`` section is deprecated and has been superseded by ``paths``. URLs and Common Arguments ========================= URLs under each repository have the form ``/{command}[/{arguments}]`` where ``{command}`` represents the name of a command or handler and ``{arguments}`` represents any number of additional URL parameters to that command. The web server has a default style associated with it. Styles map to a collection of named templates. Each template is used to render a specific piece of data, such as a changeset or diff. The style for the current request can be overwritten two ways. First, if ``{command}`` contains a hyphen (``-``), the text before the hyphen defines the style. For example, ``/atom-log`` will render the ``log`` command handler with the ``atom`` style. The second way to set the style is with the ``style`` query string argument. For example, ``/log?style=atom``. The hyphenated URL parameter is preferred. Not all templates are available for all styles. Attempting to use a style that doesn't have all templates defined may result in an error rendering the page. Many commands take a ``{revision}`` URL parameter. This defines the changeset to operate on. This is commonly specified as the short, 12 digit hexadecimal abbreviation for the full 40 character unique revision identifier. However, any value described by :hg:`help revisions` typically works. Commands and URLs ================= The following web commands and their URLs are available: .. webcommandsmarker
