Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Tue, 02 May 2017 17:18:13 +0200] rev 32105
pager: drop the support for 'pager.enable=<bool>'
This option was never released except for a release candidate. Dropping
compatibility with this option will free the 'pager.enable' config option for
other usage in the future.
Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Mon, 01 May 2017 16:36:50 +0200] rev 32104
pager: rename 'pager.enable' to 'ui.paginate'
This aligns with what we do for color (see
7fec37746417). Pager is a central
enough notion that having the master config in the [ui] section makes senses. It
will helps with consistency, discoverability. It will also help having a simple
and clear example hgrc mentioning pager.
The previous form of the option had never been released in a non-rc version but
we keep it around for convenience. If both are set, 'ui.pager' take priority.
Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Tue, 02 May 2017 20:19:09 +0200] rev 32103
color: special case 'always' in 'ui.color'
This lift the confusing case, where 'ui.color=always' would actually not always
use color.
Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Tue, 02 May 2017 20:01:54 +0200] rev 32102
color: turn 'ui.color' into a boolean (auto or off)
Previously, 'ui.color=yes' meant "always show color", While
"ui.color=auto" meant "use color automatically when it appears
sensible".
This feels problematic to some people because if an administrator has
disabled color with "ui.color=off", and a user turn it back on using
"color=on", it will get surprised (because it breaks their output when
redirected to a file.) This patch changes ui.color=true to only move the
default value of --color from "never" to "auto".
I'm not really in favor of this changes as I suspect the above case will
be pretty rare and I would rather keep the logic simpler. However, I'm
providing this patch to help the 4.2 release in the case were others
decide to make this changes.
Users that want to force colors without specifying --color on the
command line can use the 'ui.formatted' config knob, which had to be
enabled in a handful of tests for this patch.
Nice summary table (credit: Augie Fackler)
That is, before this patch:
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| | not a tty | a tty |
| | --color not set | --color not set |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color (not set) | no color | no color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color = auto | no color | color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color = yes | *color* | color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color = no | no color | no color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
(if --color is specified, it always clobbers the setting in [ui])
and after this patch:
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| | not a tty | a tty |
| | --color not set | --color not set |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color (not set) | no color | no color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color = auto | no color | color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color = yes | *no color* | color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color = no | no color | no color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
(if --color is specified, it always clobbers the setting in [ui])

pager: document the 'pager.enable' option
The 'config' helps was missing help about pager enabling/disabling.
Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Mon, 01 May 2017 18:07:23 +0200] rev 32100
pager: advertise the config option in the default hgrc
Same as for 'ui.color', this is a critical part of the UI and we want user to
find this config knob easily.
Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Mon, 01 May 2017 16:52:11 +0200] rev 32099
pager: document the 'pager' config section
There as a 'hg help pager' section but the 'hg help config.pager' was missing.
Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Mon, 01 May 2017 16:36:30 +0200] rev 32098
pager: test the 'enable' config option
While poking at this option I realised it was not tested.
Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Mon, 01 May 2017 15:51:57 +0200] rev 32097
config: drop pager from the recommended extension
The extension is deprecated, we should having exposing it to users.
Pierre-Yves David <pierre-yves.david@ens-lyon.org> [Mon, 01 May 2017 15:51:47 +0200] rev 32096
config: use "churn" as an example extension
"Churn" is not the useful example we have, but this is the one used in
'hg help config.extensions'. As we need something to replace the deprecated
'pager' extension in the example config, we are adding 'churn'.
