Mercurial: Changelog

phabricator: add a contrib script The default Phabricator client arcanist is not friendly to send a stack of changesets. It works better when a feature branch is reviewed as a single review unit. However, we want multiple revisions per feature branch. To be able to have an `hg email`-like UX to send and receive a stack of commits easily, it seems we have to re-invent things. This patch adds `phabricator.py` speaking Conduit API [1] in `contrib` as the first step. This may also be an option for people who don't want to run PHP. Config could be done in `hgrc` (instead of `arcrc` or `arcconfig`): [phabricator] # API token. Get it from https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/conduit/login/ token = cli-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx url = https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/ # callsign is used by the next patch callsign = HG This patch only adds a single command: `debugcallconduit` to keep the patch size small. To test it, having the above config, and run: $ hg debugcallconduit diffusion.repository.search <<EOF > {"constraints": {"callsigns": ["HG"]}} > EOF The result will be printed in prettified JSON format. [1]: Conduit APIs are listed at https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/conduit/

show: implement "stack" view People often want to know what they are working on *now*. As part of this, they also commonly want to know how that work is related to other changesets in the repo so they can perform common actions like rebase, histedit, and merge. `hg show work` made headway into this space. However, it is geared towards a complete repo view as opposed to just the current line of work. If you have a lot of in-flight work or the repo has many heads, the output can be overwhelming. The closest thing Mercurial has to "show me the current thing I'm working on" that doesn't require custom revsets is `hg qseries`. And this requires MQ, which completely changes workflows and repository behavior and has horrible performance on large repos. But as sub-optimal as MQ is, it does some things right, such as expose a model of the repo that is easy for people to reason about. This simplicity is why I think a lot of people prefer to use MQ, despite its shortcomings. One common development workflow is to author a series of linear changesets, using bookmarks, branches, anonymous heads, or even topics (3rd party extension). I'll call this a "stack." You periodically rewrite history in place (using `hg histedit`) and reparent the stack against newer changesets (using `hg rebase`). This workflow can be difficult because there is no obvious way to quickly see the current "stack" nor its relation to other changesets. Figuring out arguments to `hg rebase` can be difficult and may require highlighting and pasting multiple changeset nodes to construct a command. The goal of this commit is to make stack based workflows simpler by exposing a view of the current stack and its relationship to other releant changesets, notably the parent of the base changeset in the stack and newer heads that the stack could be rebased or merged into. Introduced is the `hg show stack` view. Essentially, it finds all mutable changesets from the working directory revision in both directions, stopping at a merge or branch point. This limits the revisions to a DAG linear range. The stack is rendered as a concise list of changesets. Alongside the stack is a visualization of the DAG, similar to `hg log -G`. Newer public heads from the branch point of the stack are rendered above the stack. The presence of these heads helps people understand the DAG model and the relationship between the stack and changes made since the branch point of that stack. If the "rebase" command is available, a `hg rebase` command is printed for each head so a user can perform a simple copy and paste to perform a rebase. This view is alpha quality. There are tons of TODOs documented inline. But I think it is good enough for a first iteration.

tests: demonstrate inconsistencies with dirty state in various commands Not only is the output of these commands inconsistent with respect to each other when a file is deleted, they are internally inconsistent depending upon whether the deleted file is in the top level repo or a subrepo. It seemed easier to show the problems, rather than describe them. The original goal was to fix the summary command with respect to deleted files. I haven't fixed any of the other issues yet, in case anybody believes the current subrepo behavior is correct. I think a natural understanding of clean/dirty is that they are two opposite values of a single binary repo state. If `hg update --clean -r .` changes a file, then naturally that repo was dirty, and `hg update --check` should have blocked it. Deleted files are special, in that they don't block a commit. But they make the filesystem content not the same as a clean checkout.

check-config: syntax to allow inconsistent config values The ignore regular expression has been updated to detect "inconsistent config." If present, we track which configs have that set and we suppress the conflicting defaults error for those options. I also added named groups to the regexp to aid readability. A comment was added to profiling.py to make a desired inconsistent value error go away.
