typing: add type hints to argument checking functions in cmdutil
These might be surprising, since they can take strings instead of bytes. The
way `AnyStr` works is that it must be all bytes or all str for any given
invocation.
The wildcard here will be the `opts` that get passed in- if the type is unknown
and defaults to `Any`, there's no enforcement that the dict key type matches the
additional args. But a lot of uses should be using `**opts` from the command
method, which has a str key. The uses of these methods in this module are now
typed because their internals force a specific type, and it can't just be
inferred from the caller.
setup: further improve the error path for version retrieval
This is a new take at the problem that
8d390a13474d tried to tackle. There was
two issues after that previous improvement:
- the 0.0+ version could survive a bit too long and reaching the installer
version and staying there.
- multiple use case where still failing.
So the new code is better at:
- always succeeding when running `make local` so that we can
bootstrap a local version
- no using that fallback outside of `make local` to avoid distribution of
version with the buggy version number.
The setup.py is a gigantic pile of spaghetti code, to the point where
pastafarian pilgrim started knocking at its core.
However I refrained from cleaning that up since the more to a `setup.cfg` means
this code should be deleted soon™.
tag: move the prohibition of tagging the `null` rev up to the `wdir()` check
It makes sense to do these together, and avoid another revision lookup.
dirstate: handle missing backup file on restoration
This is the stable counter part to
e358f6e0e50e.
Since 6.4 will stop writing undo.dirstate in some case (actually… at all), a
transaction created with 6.4 and recover/rolledback with 6.3 need to work to a
certain degreee. This changeset add the necessary bits so that we don't get a
traceback from 6..3 in this cases.
