distate: add assertions to backup functions Those assertions will prevent the backup functions from overwriting the dirstate file in case both: suffix and prefix are empty. (foozy suggested making that change and I agree with him)

Added signature for changeset a9764ab80e11

Added tag 3.8.3 for changeset a9764ab80e11

shelve: use backup functions instead of manually copying dirstate This increases encapsulation of dirstate: the dirstate file is private to the dirstate module and shouldn't be touched by extensions directly.

dirstate: don't use actualfilename to name the backup file The issue with using actualfilename is that dirstate saved during transaction with "pending" in filename will be impossible to recover from outside of the transaction because the recover method will be looking for the name without "pending".

sslutil: reference appropriate config section in messaging Error messages reference the config section defining the host fingerprint. Now that we have multiple sections where this config setting could live, we need to point the user at the appropriate one. We default to the new "hostsecurity" section. But we will still refer them to the "hostfingerprint" section if a value is defined there. There are some corner cases where the messaging might be off. e.g. they could define a SHA-1 fingerprint in both sections. IMO the messaging needs a massive overhaul. I plan to do this as part of future refactoring to security settings.

sslutil: allow fingerprints to be specified in [hostsecurity] We introduce the [hostsecurity] config section. It holds per-host security settings. Currently, the section only contains a "fingerprints" option, which behaves like [hostfingerprints] but supports specifying the hashing algorithm. There is still some follow-up work, such as changing some error messages.

debuginstall: expose modulepolicy With this, you can check for pure easily: $ HGMODULEPOLICY=py ./hg debuginstall -T "{hgmodulepolicy}" py

revset: define table of sort() key functions This should be more readable than big "if" branch.

revset: factor out reverse flag of sort() key Prepares for making a table of sort keys. This assumes 'k' has at least one character, which should be guaranteed by keys.split().
