branching: merge with stable

setup: treat error output and non-zero return code differently Choking on Mercurial's stderr mean armless warning can derails the whole install process. We do like to be able to issue warning to people so we stop considering any stderr is a fatal mistake. This allow us to actually boostrap a version of Mercurial without loosing to many sanity point. For example in case where evolve is not loaded, something that happens when the recorded version is malformatted. Creating a wonderful ouroboros.

setup: make the version computation process more resistant The tag fetching might return and empty string¹, from there everything derails quickly. As setup tools becomes more picky about version format we make the whole seems a bit more robust. The resulting version will be obviously weird, but at least it will actually install itself. [1] This is a problem we will address in the next changesets.

bundlerepo: enforce the requirements declared by the underlying repository Previously, `hg log -r 'bundle()' -R bundle.hg` was failing for me when run from source, complaining about an unknown parent, when the system installed `hg` didn't. Some debugging showed the index was 0 length. It turned out that I didn't have the C extensions compiled, which a simple `hg log -r .` was able to indicate. The problem being that the RequirementError got handled by RepoError, which uses an empty directory as a fallback to process the bundle.

scmutil: make checknewlabel() allow "_" in otherwise numeric names (issue6737)

storageutil: match node length with repository

dirstate: enforce holding the lock while doing any changes This seems like a sensible sanity check. This already caught the issue in largefile. This will catch more issue when we start using similar context manager for operation other than the parent changes.
