extdiff: avoid unexpected quoting arguments for external tools (
issue4463)
Before this patch, all command line arguments for external tools are
quoted by the combination of "shlex.split" and "util.shellquote". But
this causes some problems.
- some problematic commands can't work correctly with quoted arguments
For example, 'WinMerge /r ....' is OK, but 'WinMerge "/r" ....' is
NG. See also below for detail about this problem.
https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issue/3978/
- quoting itself may change semantics of arguments
For example, when the environment variable CONCAT="foo bar baz':
- mydiff $CONCAT => mydiff foo bar baz (taking 3 arguments)
- mydiff "$CONCAT" => mydiff "foo bar baz" (taking only 1 argument)
For another example, single quoting (= "util.shellquote") on POSIX
environment prevents shells from expanding environment variables,
tilde, and so on:
- mydiff "$HOME" => mydiff /home/foobar
- mydiff '$HOME' => mydiff $HOME
- "shlex.split" can't handle some special characters correctly
It just splits specified command line by whitespaces.
For example, "echo foo;echo bar" is split into ["echo",
"foo;echo", "bar"].
On the other hand, if quoting itself is omitted, users can't specify
options including space characters with "--option" at runtime.
The root cause of this issue is that "shlex.split + util.shellquote"
combination loses whether users really want to quote each command line
elements or not, even though these can be quoted arbitrarily in
configurations.
To resolve this problem, this patch does:
- prevent configurations from being processed by "shlex.split" and
"util.shellquote"
only (possibly) "findexe"-ed or "findexternaltool"-ed command path
is "util.shellquote", because it may contain whitespaces.
- quote options specified by "--option" via command line at runtime
This patch also makes "dodiff()" take only one "args" argument instead
of "diffcmd" and "diffopts. It also omits applying "util.shellquote"
on "args", because "args" should be already stringified in "extdiff()"
and "mydiff()".
The last hunk for "test-extdiff.t" replaces two whitespaces by single
whitespace, because change of "' '.join()" logic causes omitting
redundant whitespaces.
subrepo: add forgotten annotation for reverting git subrepos
Support for reverting git subrepos was added earlier,
but the annotation to handle any subrepo errors was forgotten.
subrepo: add full revert support for git subrepos
Previously, revert was only possible if the '--no-backup'
switch was specified.
Now, to support backups, we explicitly go over all modified
files in the subrepo.
setup: don't fail when Python doesn't have the cygwinccompiler package
Some Python installations like the ones available from the optware
project
for the Synology DiskStation NASes don't have that package, which means
running the setup script will crash and exit right away. Instead, we now
just use an empty/fake class for the HackedMingw32CCompiler, which we
likely won't use anyway.
tests: adapt glob pattern to fix test with NetBSD's sh(1) (
issue4484)
tests: run 'cvs init' only on non-existent directories (
issue4482)
Do not create cvsroot directory since cvs-1.12 errors out
if CVSROOT exists before 'cvs init'.
tests: make a multi-statement hook in bundle2-exchange Windows compatible
This is similar to the fix in
