error: make it clear that ProgrammingError is for mercurial developers The word "developer" could refer to users - people using hg are likely to be developers. Add adjectives to make it refer to mercurial developers only.

revlog: merge hash checking subfunctions This patch factors the behavior of both methods into 'checkhash'.

bookmarks: make bookmarks.comparebookmarks accept binary nodes (API) Binary bookmark format should be used internally. It doesn't make sense to have optional parameters `srchex` and `dsthex`. This patch removes them. It will also be useful for `bookmarks` bundle2 part because unnecessary conversions between hex and bin nodes will be avoided.

bookmarks: rename `compare()` to `comparebookmarks()` (API) Next commit will remove optional parameters from `compare()` function. Let's rename `compare()` to `comparebookmarks()` to avoid ambiguity from callers from external extensions.

graft: support grafting changes to new file in renamed directory (issue5436)

rebase: calculate ancestors for --base separately (issue5420) Previously, the --base option only works with a single "branch" - if there is one changeset in the "--base" revset whose branching point(s) is/are different from another changeset in the "--base" revset, "rebase" will error out with: abort: source is ancestor of destination This happens if the user has multiple draft branches, and uses "hg rebase -b 'draft()' -d master", for example. The error message looks cryptic to users who don't know the implementation detail. This patch changes the logic to calculate the common ancestor for every "base" changeset separately so we won't (incorrectly) select "source" which is an ancestor of the destination. This patch should not change the behavior where all changesets specified by "--base" have the same branching point(s). A new situation is: some of the specified changesets could be rebased, while some couldn't (because they are descendants of the destination, or they do not share a common ancestor with the destination). The current behavior is to show "nothing to rebase" and exits with 1. This patch maintains the current behavior (show "nothing to rebase") even if part of the "--base" revset could be rebased. A clearer error message may be "cannot find branching point for X", or "X is a descendant of destination". The error message issue is tracked by issue5422 separately. A test is added with all kinds of tricky cases I could think of for now.

py3: utility functions to convert keys of kwargs to bytes/unicodes Keys of keyword arguments need to be str(unicodes) on Python 3. We have a lot of function where we pass keyword arguments. Having utility functions to help converting keys to unicodes before passing and convert back them to bytes once passed into the function will be helpful. We now have functions named pycompat.strkwargs(dic) and pycompat.byteskwargs(dic) to help us.

py3: make a bytes version of getopt.getopt() getopt.getopt() deals with unicodes on Python 3 internally and if bytes arguments are passed, then it will return TypeError. So we have now pycompat.getoptb() which takes bytes arguments, convert them to unicode, call getopt.getopt() and then convert the returned value back to bytes and then return those value. All the instances of getopt.getopt() are replaced with pycompat.getoptb().

parsers: use buffer to store revlog index Previously, the revlog index passed to parse_index2 must be a "string", which means we have to read the whole revlog index into memory. This patch makes the code accept a generic Py_buffer, to be more flexible - it could be a "string", or anything that implements the buffer interface, like a mmap-ed region. Note: ideally we want to remove the "data" field. However, it is still used in parse_index2: if (idx->inlined) { cache = Py_BuildValue("iO", 0, idx->data); .... } .... tuple = Py_BuildValue("NN", idx, cache); .... return tuple; Its only users are revlogio.parseindex and revlog.__init__: # revlogio.parseindex index, cache = parsers.parse_index2(data, inline) return index, getattr(index, 'nodemap', None), cache # revlog.__init__ d = self._io.parseindex(indexdata, self._inline) self.index, nodemap, self._chunkcache = d Maybe we could move the logic (testing inline and returnning "data" object) to revlog.py. But that should be a separate patch.

fancyopts: switch from fancyopts.getopt.* to getopt.* In the next patch, we will be creating a bytes version of getopt.getopt() and doing that will leave getopt as unused import in fancyopts. So before removing that there are instances in codebase where instead of importing getopt, we have used fancyopts.getopt. This patch will switch all those cases so that the next patch can remove the import of getopt from fancyopts without breaking things.

py3: use pycompat.fsdecode() to pass to imp.* functions When we try to pass a bytes argument to a function from imp library, it returns TypeError as it deals with unicodes internally. So we can't use bytes with imp.* functions. Hunting through this, I found we were returning bytes path variable to loadpath() on Python 3.5 (yes most of our codebase is dealing with bytes on Python 3 especially the path variables). Passing unicode does not fails the purpose of loding the extensions and a module object is returned.

localrepo: use ProgrammingError This is an example usage of ProgrammingError. Let's start migrating RuntimeError to ProgrammingError. The code only runs when devel.all-warnings or devel.check-locks is set, so it does not affect the end-user experience.

error: add ProgrammingError We have requirement to express "this is clearly an error caused by the programmer". The code base uses RuntimeError for that in some places, not ideal. So let's add a formal exception for that.

chgserver: call "load" for new ui objects After d83ca854fa21, we need to call "ui.load" explicitly to load config files.

localrepository: remove None as default value of path argument in __init__() The path variable in localrepository.__init__() has a default value None. So it gives us a option to create an object to localrespository class without path variable. But things break if you try to do so. The second line in the init which will be executed when we try to create a localrepository object will call os.path.expandvars(path) which returns TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable I checked occurrences when it is called and can't find any piece of code which calls it without path variable. Also if something is calling it, its should break.

py3: use pycompat.sysstr() in __import__() __import__() on Python 3 accepts strings which are different from that of Python 2. Used pycompat.sysstr() to get string accordingly.

py3: avoid use of basestring "In this case, result is a source variable of a list to be returned, it shouldn't be unicode. Hence we can use bytes instead of basestring here." -Yuya

py3: use unicodes in __slots__ __slots__ in Python 3 accepts only unicodes and there is no harm using unicodes in __slots__. So just adding u'' is fine. Previous occurences of this problem are treated the same way.

memctx: allow the metadataonlyctx thats reusing the manifest node When we have a lot of files writing a new manifest revision can be expensive. This commit adds a possibility for memctx to reuse a manifest from a different commit. This can be beneficial for commands that are creating metadata changes without any actual files changed like "hg metaedit" in evolve extension. I will send the change for evolve that leverages this once this is accepted.

localrepo: make it possible to reuse manifest when commiting context This makes the commit function understand the context that's reusing manifest.

manifest: expose the parents() method

httppeer: assign Vary request header last In preparation for adding another value to it in a subsequent patch. While I was here, I added some empty lines because walls of text are hard to read.

wireproto: only advertise HTTP-specific capabilities to HTTP peers (BC) Previously, the capabilities list was protocol agnostic and we advertised the same capabilities list to all clients, regardless of transport protocol. A few capabilities are specific to HTTP. I see no good reason why we should advertise them to SSH clients. So this patch limits their advertisement to HTTP clients. This patch is BC, but SSH clients shouldn't be using the removed capabilities so there should be no impact.

protocol: declare transport protocol name We add an attribute to the HTTP and SSH protocol implementations identifying the transport so future patches can conditionally expose capabilities on a per-transport basis.

bdiff: early pruning of common prefix before doing expensive computations It seems quite common that files don't change completely. New lines are often pretty much appended, and modifications will often only change a small section of the file which on average will be in the middle. There can thus be a big win by pruning a common prefix before starting the more expensive search for longest common substrings. Worst case, it will scan through a long sequence of similar bytes without encountering a newline. Splitlines will then have to do the same again ... twice for each side. If similar lines are found, splitlines will save the double iteration and hashing of the lines ... plus there will be less lines to find common substrings in. This change might in some cases make the algorith pick shorter or less optimal common substrings. We can't have the cake and eat it. This make hg --time bundle --base null -r 4.0 go from 14.5 to 15 s - a 3% increase.

formatter: add overview of API and example as doctest

ui: factor out ui.load() to create a ui without loading configs (API) This allows us to write doctests depending on a ui object, but not on global configs. ui.load() is a class method so we can do wsgiui.load(). All ui() calls but for doctests are replaced with ui.load(). Some of them could be changed to not load configs later.

hgweb: add missing slash to file log url in rss style

check-code: add a rule to forbid "cp -r" See the commit message of the previous patch for the reason. In short, according to the current POSIX standard, "-r" is "removed", and "-R" is the current standard way to do "copy file hierarchies".

tests: replace "cp -r" with "cp -R" The POSIX documentation about "cp" [1] says: .... RATIONALE .... Earlier versions of this standard included support for the -r option to copy file hierarchies. The -r option is historical practice on BSD and BSD-derived systems. This option is no longer specified by POSIX.1-2008 but may be present in some implementations. The -R option was added as a close synonym to the -r option, selected for consistency with all other options in this volume of POSIX.1-2008 that do recursive directory descent. The difference between -R and the removed -r option is in the treatment by cp of file types other than regular and directory. It was implementation-defined how the - option treated special files to allow both historical implementations and those that chose to support -r with the same abilities as -R defined by this volume of POSIX.1-2008. The original -r flag, for historic reasons, did not handle special files any differently from regular files, but always read the file and copied its contents. This had obvious problems in the presence of special file types; for example, character devices, FIFOs, and sockets. .... .... Issue 6 The -r option is marked obsolescent. .... Issue 7 .... The obsolescent -r option is removed. .... (No "Issue 8" yet) Therefore it's clear that "cp -R" is strictly better than "cp -r". The issue was discovered when running tests on OS X after 0d87b1caed92. [1]: pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/cp.html
