showconfig: use set to filter sections and entry names
Before, an entry matching the specified section could be printed twice if the
selector wasn't unique.
"sections" and "items" are renamed because it's hard to distinguish "sections"
from the loop variable "section".
util: factor out shellsplit() function
It turned out to be more than the simple posix=True|False flag, so let's
introduce a platform function. I also made it py3 ready.
diff: do not split function name if character encoding is unknown
Only ASCII characters can be split reliably at any byte positions, so let's
just leave long multi-byte sequence long. It's probably less bad than putting
an invalid byte sequence into a diff.
This doesn't try to split the first ASCII slice from multi-byte sequence
because a combining character may follow.
histedit: use repo.revs() instead of repo.set() where revisions are needed
Follows up
72da480db4a5. This is just a micro optimization, but looks slightly
nicer.
acl: replace bare getpass.getuser() by platform function
Follows up
dbadf28d4db0. bytestr() shouldn't be applied here because getuser()
isn't guaranteed to be all in ASCII.
This change means GetUserNameA() is used on Windows, but that's probably
better than trying to get the current user name in UNIX way.
context: remove basectx.__int__ (API)
basectx is the only type in the repo having __int__ implemented.
This magic method can result in unexpected coercion. Furthermore,
having it implemented is wrong for some contexts, since rev() may
return None in some cases.
Previous commits removed known cases in core where contexts are
coerced to integers. So let's delete basectx.__int__.
This commit is a bit dangerous. While the test suite passes, there
are likely still some callers in core that rely on __int__ that
don't have test coverage. An alternative would be to issue a
deprecation warning and let this bake for a few releases.
.. api::
context.basectx no longer implements __int__. Context instances
will no longer cast to ints. Consumers should call ``ctx.rev()``
instead.
