merge.mergestate: add a way to get the other side of the merge
It's surprising there was no API at all for this until now. In any case this
will be needed from custom merge drivers.
commands.resolve: support printing out driver-resolved files
There's no user-visible way to mark files as driver-resolved, so this status
won't be visible.
histedit: make histedit prune when obsolete is enabled
Back in June we made histedit use obsolete markers to cleanup when possible.
This was rolled back as part of
54f9561088c7 (which should have only rolled back
the --abort stuff, but rolled back everything). This caused a nasty bug when
used in conjuction with the inhibit+directaccess extensions where histedit would
leave old nodes around even after they had been squashed away.
The root of the problem is that we first clean up old nodes, and then we clean
up temp nodes. In the first pass, when we obsoleted old nodes, some would become
unobsolete because they had temp nodes on top of them, thus making them stick
around even after the histedit finished.
The fix is to A) move the temp node cleanup to be before the old node cleanup
(since they are topological on top of the old nodes), and B) use obsolete
markers instead of stripping.
clonebundles: rewrite documentation
There are a lot of considerations server operators need to know before
deploying clone bundles. They should be documented. So I rewrote the
extension docs to contain this information.
exchange: support streaming clone bundles in clone bundles
Now that we have support for detecting compatible stream clone bundles
in bundle specifications, we can safely add support for applying stream
clone bundles to the clone bundles feature.
exchange: parse requirements from stream clone specification string
Stream clone bundles can only be consumed if the consumer supports the
exact format requirements that were present on the producer.
This patch adds support for encoding and verifying the format
requirements on the bundle specification string for a stream clone
bundle are supported by the local repository. If they aren't, we raise
an UnsupportedBundleSpecification, just like we do when an unknown
compression or bundle type is encountered.
The impetus for this patch is so the clone bundles manifest can
advertise stream clone bundles and so clients can filter out stream
clones with unsupported format requirements. e.g. a stream clone
produced with the not-yet-invented "revlogv2" format will be ignored by
clients that only support "revlogv1."
exchange: support parameters in bundle specification strings
Sometimes a basic type string is not sufficient for representing the
contents of a bundle. Take bundle2 for example: future bundle2 files may
contain parts that today's bundle2 parser can't read. Another example is
stream clone data. These require clients to support specific
repository formats or they won't be able to read the written files. In
both scenarios, we need to describe additional metadata beyond the outer
container type. Furthermore, this metadata behaves more like an
unordered set, so an order-based declaration format (such as static
strings) is not sufficient.
We introduce support for "parameters" into the bundle specification
string. These are essentially key-value pairs that can be used to encode
additional metadata about the bundle.
Semicolons are used as the delimiter partially to increase similarity to
MIME parameter values (see RFC 2231) and because they are relatively
safe from the command line (although values will need quotes to avoid
interpretation as multiple shell commands). Alternatives considered were
spaces (a bit annoying to encode) and '&' (similar to URL query strings)
(which will do bad things in a shell if unquoted).
The parsing function now returns a dict of parsed parameters and
consumers have been updated accordingly.
commands: support consuming stream clone bundles
For the same reasons that we don't produce stream clone bundles with `hg
bundle`, we don't support consuming stream clone bundles with `hg
unbundle`. We introduce a complementary debug command for applying
stream clone bundles. This command is mostly to facilitate testing.
Although it may be used to manually apply stream clone bundles until a
more formal mechanism is (possibly) adopted.
