filemerge: run symlink check for :merge3 Just like :merge, :merge3 doesn't support merging symlinks.

filemerge: print correct name of tool for symlink checks Earlier we'd print ':merge' even if the tool was something else like ':union'. That's clearly a bug.

filemerge: normalize 'internal:foo' names to ':foo' In upcoming patches we're going to present these names in the UI -- it would be good not to present deprecated names.

filemerge: use symlinkcheck for :merge and :union This exposes a couple of bugs, both of which will be fixed in upcoming patches.

filemerge: add a precheck for symlinks This will be used by internal merge tools.

filemerge: call precheck if available In upcoming patches we'll define a precheck function for some merge tools.

filemerge: add a before-merge callback to internal merge tools We're going to separate the pre-merge and merge steps for merge tools. The merge step will be specific to the tool, but the pre-merge step will be common to all merge tools that need it. However, some merge tools run checks *before* the pre-merge step. This callback will allow that to continue to work.

filemerge: indent filemerge.filemerge This will make upcoming patches much easier to review.

test-bundle-type: replace unbundle with debugbundle We now have a convenient command to look at bundle contents, let's use it.

bundle: extract the parsing of the bundle type in a function We are going to introduce significant extensions of the bundle parsing code to support creation of bundle2 through the bundle command. As an early step, we extract the logic in its own function.

changegroup: add version argument to getchangegroup For some obscure reasons (probably upsetting a Greek goddess), getchangegroup did not had a 'version' argument to control the changegroup version. We fixes this to allow cg02 to be used with 'hg bundle' in the future.

changegroup: add version argument to getlocalchangegroup For some obscure reasons (probably upsetting a Greek goddess), getlocalchangegroup did not have a 'version' argument to control the changegroup version. We fix this to allow cg02 to be used with 'hg bundle' in the future.

shelve: bundle using bundle2 if repository is general delta (issue4862) This will prevent expensive delta computation on bundling and is similar to what we do for strip backup.

shelve: move changegroup generation inside writebundle We will generate different changegroup if general delta is enabled so we gather this in the lower level function. There wasn't any good reason to have it in the main code anyway.

shelve: compress on-disk bundle Shelve is using 'HG10UN' bundle for no obvious reason. Changing this to 'HG10BZ' as we do for other bundle stored on disk.

notify: fix fromauthor setting for 'incoming' hook type (issue4194) Set the author field in notification emails for the 'incoming' hook type in addition to 'changegroup' and 'outgoing' types.

templater: protect word() from crashing on out of range negative value The function isn't documented to work with negative values at all, but it does, which can be useful. However, the range check didn't account for this.

commands: add a new debug command to print merge state We're going to be extending the merge state very soon, and this will give us a way to test all that.

merge.mergestate: factor out code to validate v1/v2 records We're going to need this in another place in upcoming patches.

localrepo: prevent wlock from being inherited when a transaction is running Review feedback from Pierre-Yves David. A separate line of work is working to ensure that dirstate writes are written to a separate 'pending' file while a transaction is active. Lock inheritance currently conflicts with that, so dodge the issue by simply preventing inheritance while a transaction is running. Custom merge drivers aren't going to run inside a transaction, so this doesn't affect that.

lock: add a way to prevent locks from being inherited We want to prevent locks from being inherited sometimes (e.g. when there's a currently running transaction, which will break a lot of assumptions we're making in here.)

test-fncache: use args/kwargs for lock wrapper This is annoying to keep up to date, and also just plain unnecessary.

rebase: enable histedit for useful help with it

rebase: suggest help -e histedit Users unfamiliar with an extension should be reading the documentation for the feature, not the command.

rebase: factor out histedit help command

util: use tuple accessor to get accurate st_mtime value (issue4836) Because st.st_mtime is computed as 'sec + 1e-9 * nsec' and double is too narrow to represent nanoseconds, int(st.st_mtime) can be 'sec + 1'. Therefore, that value could be different from the one got by osutils.listdir(). This patch fixes the problem by accessing to raw st_mtime by tuple index. It catches TypeError to fall back to st.st_mtime because our osutil.stat does not support tuple index. In dirstate.normal(), 'st' is always a Python stat, but in dirstate.status(), it can be either a Python stat or an osutil.stat. Thanks to vgatien-baron@janestreet.com for finding the root cause of this subtle problem.

util: extract stub function to get mtime with second accuracy This function is trivial but will need a long comment why it can't use st.st_mtime. See the next patch for details.

scmutil: add a way for a repo's wlock to be inherited by a subprocess This is part of a series that will allow locks to be inherited by subprocesses in limited circumstances. In the future, we'll call this for custom merge drivers.

scmutil: add a way for a subprocess to be run with an inheritable lock This is part of a series that will allow locks to be inherited by subprocesses in limited circumstances. In an upcoming patch, we'll add an API for the wlock to be inherited.
