color: inline the 'showlabel' method This function is quite simple and only have one call site… located a handful of line under the definition. We inline the function for the sake of simplicity. One of the motivation to do that now is that it reduce the amount of new method we will have to add to the core 'ui' class for color support.

color: move '_colormode' to the core 'ui' class Having all 'ui' objects aware of 'color' allows us to update the core code to handle color. The mode will stay 'None' in the default case so that will not introduce any changes.

hgweb: explictly pass basectx in webutil.diffs There's only one case where `basectx` parameter is None (over two usages), so it's probably not worth handling the special case as it makes code-reading harder. Along the way, use ctx.p1() instead of checking for ctx.parents() being empty which should not occur.

serve: mark --stdio and --cmdserver as "(ADVANCED)" flags This will hide them from the default --help output.

help: hide command line options marked as "advanced" Previously, we have keywords like "(DEPRECATED)" and "(EXPERIMENTAL)" to hide command line options in non-verbose help output. However, sometimes an option is neither deprecated nor experimental. It's well-tested and working, but just not designed to average users. This patch adds a keyword "(ADVANCED)" to fit in such use cases. Thanks rom1dep for the suggestion of the word "advanced".

pager: do not try to run an empty pager command If pagercmd is explicitly set to '', the pager process would exit silently and the output would be lost. We'd better disable the pager in such case.

graphlog: restore pager lost at 1cec1d863008

gitweb: add "more" and "less" navigation links in filelog template

context: also return ancestor's line range in blockancestors

context: add a followfirst flag to blockancestors

py3: use pycompat.fsencode() to convert __file__ to bytes __file__ returns unicodes on Python 3. This patch uses pycompat.fsencode() to convert them to bytes.

wireproto: remove unused code Removed an unused line introduced by f3807a135e43.

color: set initial default value for 'colormode' to None This should not introduce any behavior changes when using the color extension. In practive, the colormode will be setup at early at run time to the proper value (from config and environment). We do this change as this gets us closer of a state were we can have all the mechanisms associated to color in core with the feature disabled by default.

color: minor reversal of two conditional clause for clarity Another minor cleanup while reading the code. The two branches of the conditional have similar complexity so we go for the order that give us the simplest condition (we drop the negation).

color: merge two identical 'for' loops The previous changeset made it clear that we are iterating twice on the same items. We gather the two loops into a single one.

color: minor simplification of some terminfo setup code No logic change is introduced. The previous code were using a 'dict.update' with a complex generator. That was a bit confusing to read and not so compact. Instead we now use an explicit loop and conditional for the sake of clarity. This also allow for more simplification coming in the next changeset.

color: make a test for curse availability explicite We won't use terminfo when curse failed to load. Before this change, we were doing an indirect test, relying on the fact some variable ('_terminfo_params') would be empty if curses failed to load. We update the code to be more explicit and directly checks if we managed to load the curse module.

color: move 'win32' declaration to the core module This is another part of moving color implementation into core. before we can move the advance logic, we need to move the basic definition and building bricks. This is one more step on that road.

smartset: preserve istopo for baseset operations This is a follow-up of "smartset: use native set operations as fast paths". It's more correct to just preserve the "istopo" information for "&" and "-" operations, like what filteredset does.

record: update help to describe ui.interface hg help record was not accurate if using another interface than the text one

ui: replace obsolete default-push with default:pushurl (issue5485) Default-push has been deprecated in favour of default:pushurl. But "hg clone" still inserts this in every hgrc file it creates. This patch updates the message by replacing default-push with default:pushurl and also makes the necessary changes to test files.

worker: ignore meaningless exit status indication returned by os.waitpid() Before this patch, worker implementation assumes that os.waitpid() with os.WNOHANG returns '(0, 0)' for still running child process. This is explicitly specified as below in Python API document. os.WNOHANG The option for waitpid() to return immediately if no child process status is available immediately. The function returns (0, 0) in this case. On the other hand, POSIX specification doesn't define the "stat_loc" value returned by waitpid() with WNOHANG for such child process. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/waitpid.html CPython implementation for os.waitpid() on POSIX doesn't take any care of this gap, and this may cause unexpected "exit status indication" even on POSIX conformance platform. For example, os.waitpid() with os.WNOHANG returns non-zero "exit status indication" on FreeBSD. This implies os.kill() with own pid or sys.exit() with non-zero exit code, even if no child process fails. To ignore meaningless exit status indication returned by os.waitpid(), this patch skips subsequent steps forcibly, if os.waitpid() returns 0 as pid. This patch also arranges examination of 'p' value for readability. FYI, there are some issues below about this behavior reported for CPython. https://bugs.python.org/issue21791 https://bugs.python.org/issue27808

pager: add a config knob to just globally turn off the pager

pager: move most help to a new help topic and deprecate extension

dispatch: rearrange 'unknown command' code to better employ pager dispatch calls help like a ninja if you give it a truly unknown command, and that might want to be paged. If it gets paged, then the 'hg: unknown command' text gets eaten by a grue, unless we call the pager first. This change rearranges the codepaths so we can safely only invoke the pager in the case where we'll have long output from the help command code, rather than just a short message like "did you mean stat instead of start" or "fetch is provided by the fetch extension".

help: move rst formatting of help documents into help.py This slight refactor will help me improve the 'unknown command' experience in our new glorious pager future.

outgoing: avoid running pager until we're actually showing changes Consistent with the new behavior of incoming in the previous patch.

incoming: delay pager activation until right before printing changes This prevents authentication and other brief status messages from being paged.

histedit: modify rollup to discard date from the rollup commit (issue4820) This change adjusts and documents the new behaviour of 'roll'. It now fits nicely with the behaviour of 'commit --amend' and the 'edit' action, by discarding the date as well as the commit message of the second commit. Previously it used the later date, like 'fold', but this often wasn't desirable, for example, in the common use case of using 'roll' to add forgotten changes to a changeset (because 'hg add' was previously forgotten or not all changes were identified while using 'hg record').

histedit: improve documentation and behaviour of dates This clarifies in the histedit documentation that the 'edit' action preserves the date and that the 'fold' action uses the later date. The documentation was previously silent on this issue which left users in doubt.

localrepo: check HG_PENDING strictly Before this patch, checking HG_PENDING for changelog in localrepo.py might cause unintentional reading unrelated '00changelog.i.a' in, because HG_PENDING is checked by str.startswith(). An external hook spawned by inner repository in nested ones satisfies this condition. This patch uses txnutil.mayhavepending() to check HG_PENDING strictly. BTW, this patch may cause failure of bisect in the repository of Mercurial itself, if examination at bisecting assumes that an external hook can see all pending changes while nested transactions across repositories. This invisibility issue will be fixed by subsequent patch, which allows HG_PENDING to refer multiple repositories.

phases: check HG_PENDING strictly Before this patch, checking HG_PENDING in phases.py might cause unintentional reading unrelated 'phaseroots.pending' in, because it just examines existence of HG_PENDING environment variable. This patch uses txnutil.trypending() to check HG_PENDING strictly. BTW, this patch may cause failure of bisect in the repository of Mercurial itself, if examination at bisecting assumes that an external hook can see all pending changes while nested transactions across repositories. This invisibility issue will be fixed by subsequent patch, which allows HG_PENDING to refer multiple repositories.

bookmarks: check HG_PENDING strictly Before this patch, checking HG_PENDING in bookmarks.py might cause unintentional reading unrelated '.hg/bookmarks.pending' in, because it just examines existence of HG_PENDING environment variable. This patch uses txnutil.trypending() to check HG_PENDING strictly. This patch also changes share extension. Enabling share extension (+ bookmark sharing) makes bookmarks._getbkfile() receive repo to be shared (= "srcrepo"). On the other hand, HG_PENDING always refers current working repo (= "currepo"), and bookmarks.pending is written only into currepo. Therefore, we should try to read .hg/bookmarks.pending of currepo in at first. If it doesn't exist, we try to read .hg/bookmarks of srcrepo in. Even after this patch, an external hook spawned in currepo can't see pending changes in currepo via srcrepo, even though such changes become visible after closing transaction, because there is no easy and cheap way to know existence of pending changes in currepo via srcrepo. Please see https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/SharedRepository, too. BTW, this patch may cause failure of bisect in the repository of Mercurial itself, if examination at bisecting assumes that an external hook can see all pending changes while nested transactions across repositories. This invisibility issue will be fixed by subsequent patch, which allows HG_PENDING to refer multiple repositories.

tests: make directory to prevent test process from going out of $TESTTMP Before this patch, test process for test-bookmarks.t goes out of $TESTTMP at "cd .." before creation of "orderrepo" repository. To prevent test process from going out of $TESTTMP, this patch makes directory "repo" sub-directory and executes almost all test scenarios in test-bookmarks.t under it. This is preparation for new test added in subsequent patch.

txnutil: factor out the logic to read file in according to HG_PENDING This patch adds new file txnutil.py, because: - transaction.py is too large to import small utility logic - scmutil.py or so causes cyclic importing in phases.py mayhavepending() is defined separately for convenience in subsequent patch.

repoview: separate cache hash computation from cache reading This change will make it easier for extensions to use another cache hash.

tests: make test suite more immune to environment variables Plenty of tests break when "make tests" is run while environment variables "HGPLAIN" or "HGPLAINEXCEPT" are set (test "test-obsolete- checkheads.t" is just a single example). This patch causes script "run-tests.py" to also remove these two variables from the environment the tests are executed in.

version: enable pager if --verbose is specified `hg version` output is very short without --verbose, but with --verbose it tends to scroll off the user's screen.

qdiff: migrate to modern pager API This results in the default pager-attend list being empty. Sadly, we can't let the code be that way, because some legacy extensions depend on hooking the pager's attend list at import time (and we'd like to not break them), and if the list is actually *empty* that triggers magic behavior in the extension that attends everything. Instead, we put a long, improbable command name as the only entry in the attend list.

annotate: start pager after we're sure we wont abort This avoids needlessly putting a short error message into the pager.

dispatch: consolidate pager flag handling to a single place This makes a little more sense, thanks to Martin for suggesting it.

ui: rename neverpager to disablepager I agree this is a clearer name for this method.

scmutil: proxy revrange() through repo to break import cycles This was one of the hardest import cycles as scmutil is widely used and revset functions are likely to depend on a variety of modules. New repo.anyrevs() does not expand user aliases by default to copy the behavior of the existing repo.revs(). I don't want to add new function to localrepository, but this function is quite similar to repo.revs() so it won't increase the complexity of the localrepository class so much.

revset: split language services to revsetlang module (API) New revsetlang module hosts parser, tokenizer, and miscellaneous functions working on parsed tree. It does not include functions for evaluation such as getset() and match(). 2288 mercurial/revset.py 684 mercurial/revsetlang.py 2972 total get*() functions are aliased since they are common in revset.py.

revset: import set classes directly from smartset module Follows up 1be65deb3d54.

help: add pointer how to narrow list of resolved/unresolved files (issue5469)

shelve: add -n/--name option to unshelve (issue5475) This makes using shelve/unshelve more consistent because shelving can be done using name option and unshelving as well. Author of the idea of this improvement and solution is joshgold.
