help: hide phaseidx template keyword I don't think it's great idea to expose the internal representation of phases. Let's discourage use of the phaseidx keyword.

stable: merge with security patches

subrepo: use per-type config options to enable subrepos We change subrepos.allowed from a list of allowed subrepo types to a combination of a master switch and per-type boolean flag. If the master switch is set, subrepos can be disabled wholesale. If subrepos are globally enabled, then per-type options are consulted. Mercurial repos are enabled by default. Everything else is disabled by default.

config: add some more documentation around why svn and git subrepos are off

subrepo: disable git and svn subrepos by default (BC) (SEC) We have a security issue with git subrepos. I'm not sure if svn subrepo is vulnerable, but it seems not 100% safe to allow writing arbitrary data into a metadata directory. So for now, only hg subrepo is enabled by default. Maybe we should improve the help to describe why git/svn subrepos are disabled.

subrepo: extend config option to disable subrepos by type (SEC) This allows us to minimize the behavior change introduced by the next patch. I have no idea which config style is preferred in UX POV, but I decided to get things done. a) list: 'allowed = hg, git, svn' b) sub option: 'allowed.hg = True' or 'allowed:hg = True' c) per-type action: 'hg = allow', 'git = abort'

subrepo: add config option to reject any subrepo operations (SEC) This is an alternative workaround for the issue5730. Perhaps this is the simplest way of disabling subrepo operations. It does nothing clever, but just aborts if Mercurial starts accessing to a subrepo. I think Greg's patch is more useful since it allows us to at least check out the parent repository. However, that would be confusing if the default is flipped to checkout=False and subrepos are silently ignored. I don't like the config name 'allowed', but I couldn't get any better name.

subrepo: disallow symlink traversal across subrepo mount point (SEC) It wasn't easy to extend the pathauditor to check symlink traversal across subrepos because pathauditor._checkfs() rejects a directory having ".hg" directory. That's why I added the explicit islink() check. No idea if this patch is necessary after we've fixed the issue5730 by splitting submerge() into planning and execution phases.
