scmutil: add a way for a repo's wlock to be inherited by a subprocess This is part of a series that will allow locks to be inherited by subprocesses in limited circumstances. In the future, we'll call this for custom merge drivers.

scmutil: add a way for a subprocess to be run with an inheritable lock This is part of a series that will allow locks to be inherited by subprocesses in limited circumstances. In an upcoming patch, we'll add an API for the wlock to be inherited.

localrepo: add a way to get the current wlock if it's held This will be useful to pass around a reference to the lock to some functions we're going to add to scmutil. We don't want those functions to live in localrepo to avoid bloat.

localrepo: add a way to get the current lock if it's held We'll use this in upcoming patches to return a reference to the wlock if it's held.

test-help: verify that extension keywords appear in help templates fixed by a2291c9c85a1

templatekw: add {changes}, {distance} and {tag} to the {latesttag} keyword

templater: introduce {latesttag()} function to match a pattern (issue4184) This allows the latest class of tag to be found, such as a release candidate or final build, instead of just the absolute latest. It doesn't appear that the existing keyword can be given an optional argument. There is a keyword, function and filter for 'date', so it doesn't seem harmful to introduce a new function with the same name as an existing keyword. Most functions are pretty Mercurial agnostic, but there is {revset()} as precedent. Even though templatekw.getlatesttags() returns a single tuple, one entry of which is a list, it is simplest to present this as a list of tags instead of a single item, with each tag having a distance and change count attribute. It is also closer to how {latesttag} returns a list of tags, and how this function works when not given a '%' operator.

templatekw: introduce showlatesttags() to handle {latesttag} keywords The keywords {changes}, {distance} and {tag} will be available on a future template method that will allow pattern matching against tag names. For consistency, these should be available on the existing {latesttag} keyword as well. I debated whether or not to add {tag} instead of just continuing with the existing {latesttag}. But it seems clearer not to have the same name for two distinct things (a list in the LHS of %, and an individual tag value on the right). The value of latesttags[0] is the date of commit for the cset to which the tag is applied (i.e. not the date the tag was applied), and therefore isn't made visible because it doesn't seem interesting. It appears that this is merely an internal implementation detail for sorting csets in a stable manner when there are different branches.

templatekw: factor out the changessincetag calculation to a private method This will be reused in the next patch.

templatekw: allow getlatesttags() to match a specific tag pattern This will allow the latest class of tag to be found, such as a release candidate or final build, instead of just the absolute latest. It will be exposed in a future patch. It's unfortunate that the original 'latesttags' cache can't be used to determine the proper values, but it isn't fully populated for the entire repo. For example, the {latesttagdistance} keyword on the Mecurial repo builds the cache up back to the revision for 1.4. If the pattern was 're:^0\.\d$', that wouldn't be in the cache. Maybe this can be optimized some other way, but for now, this is the simpliest implementation.
