checkunknown: audit path before checking if it's a file or link Previously we would lstat the file to see if it was a file or a link before attempting to process it. If the file happened to exist across a symlink, and if that symlink was pointing to a network file system, that check could be very expensive. The new logic audit's the path to avoid symlinks before performing the lstat on the file itself. In our situation, this shaved 10 minutes off of certain hg updates. 300 files * (2 seconds - the network filesystem lookup time)

pathauditor: change parts verification order to be root first Previously, when we verified the parts of a path in the auditor, we would validate the deepest directory first, then it's parent, and so on up to the root. If there happened to be a symlink in the chain, that meant our first check would likely traverse that symlink. In some cases that symlink might point to a network filesystem that is expensive, and therefore this simple check could be very slow. The fix is to check the path parts starting at the root and working our way down. This has a minor performance difference in that we used to be able to short circuit from the audit if we reached a directory that had already been checked. Now we can't, but the cost is N dictionary look ups, where N is the number of parts in the path, which should be fairly minor.

chg: forward job control signals to worker process (issue5051) This is necessary to suspend/resume long pulls, interactive curses session, etc. The implementation is based on emacsclient, but our version doesn't test if chg process is foreground or not before propagating SIGCONT. This is because chg isn't always an interactive session. If we copy the SIGTTIN/SIGTTOU emulation from emacsclient, non-interactive session can't be moved to a background job. $ chg pull ^Z suspended $ bg %1 [1] continued [1] suspended (tty input) # wrong https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/0e96320/lib-src/emacsclient.c#L1094

chg: verify return value of sigaction() and sigemptyset() They should never fail, but it couldn't hurt to be a paranoid.

chg: initialize sigaction fields more reliably It seems calling memset() and sigemptyset() is common pattern to initialize sigaction. And strictly speaking, sigset_t must be initialized by sigemptyset() or sigfillset(). I saw git and uwsgi do that way, so let's follow them.

tests: confirm that a badly documented extension doesn't cause a crash An external extension whose docstring doesn't conform to Mercurial standards used to cause crashes. Test that we omit such extensions when you do a keyword search.

bookmarks: avoid creating a nested repository during testing This helps the test to pass with hgwatchman, which would otherwise need to be taught about a nested .hg directory. hgwatchman already blacklists test-nested-repo.t which covers the actual usecase

dispatch: strip command line options like config file options Currently, whitespace in command line --config options are considered significant while whitespace in config files are not considered significant. This diff strips the leading and trailing whitespace from command line config options.

hook: for python hook ImportErrors, add note to run with --traceback I personally found it completely non-obvious that --traceback prints out stack traces for failed imports.

hook: fewer parentheses for hook load errors This matches 'hook failed' warnings. We're also going to add hints to some of the hook load errors. Without this change we'd have two pairs of parens for a single error message, which looks really cluttered.

hook: use sys.exc_info rather than the deprecated equivalents sys.exc_type etc have been deprecated since Python 1.5.

doc: describe full help document hierarchy to create a valid link in HTML For example, ":hg:`help config.default-push`" creates an invalid link to "hgrc.5.html#default-push" in HTML, but ":hg:`help config.paths.default-push`" creates a valid link to "hgrc.5.html#paths".

doc: translate from :hg:`help config.SECTION` to a valid link to hgrc.5.html Before this patch, ":hg:`help config.SECTION`" in online help text is translated to a link to "hg.1.html#config.SECTION" in HTML unintentionally. This patch translates from :hg:`help config.SECTION` in online help text to a valid link to "hgrc.5.html#SECTION" in HTML. This patch ignores element(s) under "SECTION" (e.g. "ITEM" of ":hg:`help config.SECTION.ITEM`"), because there is no way to refer directly to it in HTML, yet.

doc: translate from :hg:`help config` to a valid link to hgrc.5.html Before this patch, ":hg:`help config`" in online help text is translated to a link to "hg.1.html#config" in HTML, even though actual "hg help config" shows not help for "hg config" command but "config" help topic, and all of current ":hg:`help config`" expects the latter. This patch translates from ":hg:`help config`" in online help text to a link to "hgrc.5.html" in HTML as expected. This patch also allows ":hg:`help -c COMMAND`" style to link "hg.1.html#COMMAND" for readability.

i18n: calculate correct line number in source of messages to be translated Before this patch, line number in source of the message to be translated is wrong in hg.pot, if corresponded message is placed after ".. DIRECTIVE::", because number of lines related to such directive isn't added to variable "delta", which holds number of untranslated lines in given text. This patch always adds "2" to "delta", because text block is split into translation units by "\n\n".

revsetbenchmark: handle exception case If the revset being benchmarked has an exception, the handling code was encountering an error because the exception did not always have an "output" attribute (I think it's a python 2.7 thing).

merge: minimize conflicts when common base is not shown (issue4447) Previously, two changes that were nearly, but not quite, identical would result in large merge conflict regions that looked very similar, and were thus very confusing to users, and lead people used to other source control systems to claim that "mercurial's merge algorithms suck". In the relatively common case of a new file being introduced in two branches with very slight modifications, the old behavior would show the entire file as a conflict, and it would be very difficult for a user to determine what was going on. In the past, mercurial attempted to solve this with a "very smart" algorithm that would find all common lines, but this has significant problems as described in 2ea6d906cf9b. Instead, we use a "very dumb" algorithm introduced in the previous patch that simply matches lines at the periphery of conflict regions. This minimizes most conflict regions well, though there may still be some degenerate edge cases, like small modification to the beginning and end of a large file.

merge: introduce method to minimize merge regions In the next diff, we will use this to trim down the start and end of conflict regions where the A and B sides both made the same changes.

merge: add some useful documentation

encoding: backport paranoid escaping from templatefilters.jsonescape() This was introduced by 55c763926a28. It is required to embed JSON data in HTML page. Convince yourself here: http://escape.alf.nu/1

encoding: add option to escape non-ascii characters in JSON This is necessary for hgweb to embed JSON data in HTML. JSON data must be able to be embedded in non-UTF-8 HTML page so long as the page encoding is compatible with ASCII. According to RFC 7159, non-BMP character is represented as UTF-16 surrogate pair. This function first splits an input string into an array of UTF-16 code points. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159.html#section-7

encoding: initialize jsonmap when module is loaded This makes jsonescape() a thread-safe function, which is necessary for hgweb. The initialization stuff isn't that slow: $ python -m timeit -n1000 -s 'from mercurial import encoding as x' 'reload(x)' original: 1000 loops, best of 3: 158 usec per loop this patch: 1000 loops, best of 3: 214 usec per loop compared to loading the commands module: $ python -m timeit -n1000 -s 'from mercurial import commands as x' 'reload(x)' 1000 loops, best of 3: 1.11 msec per loop

encoding: change jsonmap to a list indexed by code point This is slightly faster and convenient to implement a paranoid escaping. $ python -m timeit \ -s 'from mercurial import encoding; data = str(bytearray(xrange(128)))' \ 'encoding.jsonescape(data)' original: 100000 loops, best of 3: 15.1 usec per loop this patch: 100000 loops, best of 3: 13.7 usec per loop

update: change default destination to tipmost descendant (issue4673) (BC) Bare 'hg update' now brings you to the tipmost descendant (on the same branch). Leaving the user on the same topological branch. The previous behavior, updating to the tipmost changeset on the same branch could lead to jump from a topological branch to another. This was confusing and impractical. As the only conceivable reason for the old behavior have been address by the recently introduce message about other heads, we can "safely" change this behavior All test changes have been reviewed and seen a valid consequences.

test: drop useless --update flag in issue1502 tests The --update is unrelated to the test and has no effect as it fails anyway. Dropping it reduces the noise in the coming change in default destination for update.

treemanifest: don't use cp -T, not supported on OS X The OS X cp implementation has no -T switch. Copy directory contents using a glob instead.

chg: use in-tree hg executable to start server for testing

hgignore: ignore chg binary

chg: import frontend sources These files are copied from https://bitbucket.org/yuja/chg/ -r f897faa79687
