crecord: fix help bar display issue (
issue5063)
Before this patch, the help bar in crecord wouldn't be printed correctly when
the terminal window didn't have enough column to display it. This patch adds
logic to make sure that the help bar message is always displayed. We use an
ellipsis when it is not possible to display the complete message.
crecord: fix typo in the help text
In the crecord help dialog, the toggle all option was wrongfully documented.
Instead of using 'a', one must use 'A' to toggle all the hunks. The crecord
header that is always displayed on the screen contains the right shortcut and
does not need to be changed.
subrepo: better error messages in _ensuregit
This patch improves the error messages raised when an OSError occurs, since
simply re-raising the exception can be both confusing and misleading. For
example, if "hg identify" is run inside a repository that contains a Git
subrepository and the git binary could not be found, it'll exit with the message
"abort: No such file or directory". That implies "identify" has a problem
reading the repository itself. There's no way for the user to know what the
real problem is unless they dive into the Mercurial source, which is what I
ended up doing after spending hours debugging errors while provisioning a VM
with Ansible (turns out I forgot to install Git on it).
Descriptive errors are especially important on Windows, since it's common for
Windows users to forget to set the "Path" system variable after installing Git.
