store: slice over a bytestring to get characters instead of ascii values
On Python 2,
>>> a = b'abc'
>>> a[1]
'b'
Whereas on python 3,
>>> a = b'abc'
>>> a[1]
98
>>> a[1:2]
b'b'
This does not change behaviour on python 2.
vfs: use 'vfs' module directly in 'mercurial.hg'
Now that the 'vfs' classes moved in their own module, lets use the new module
directly. We update code iteratively to help with possible bisect needs in the
future.
vfs: extract 'vfs' class and related code to a new 'vfs' module (API)
The 'scmutil' is growing large (1500+ lines) and 2/5 of it is related to vfs.
We extract the 'vfs' related code in its own module get both module back to a
better scale and clearer contents.
We keep all the references available in 'scmutil' for now as many reference
needs to be updated.
vfs: replace 'scmutil.opener' usage with 'scmutil.vfs'
The 'vfs' class is the first class citizen for years. We remove all usages of
the older API. This will let us remove the old API eventually.
fsmonitor: remove use of repo.opener
This has been deprecated, so we need to switch to the appropriate vfs apis.
help: align description of 'base rev' with reality [
issue5488]
The text about revlogs seems to be wrong about -1 being used to indicate
the start of a delta chain. Attempt to correct this.
help: fix internals.changegroups
Add information about tree manifests, copy edit the text and fix up a few
ambiguities.
The document also contains a few additional fixes from Siddharth Agarwal
<sid0@fb.com>, who used it to build a parser for changegroups in Rust.
