Mercurial: Changelog

hidden: support for explicitly accessing hidden changesets in wireproto server This installs the basic infrastructure to be able to access hidden changeset through the wireprotocol. Each wireprotocol server still needs a way to define how the feature is triggered.

hidden: add support for --remote-hidden to localpeer

pull: add --remote-hidden option and pass it through peer creation This option will allow to pull changesets that are hidden on the remote. This is useful when looking into a changeset’s evolution history, resolving evolution instability or mirroring a repository. The option is best effort and will only affect the pull when it can. The option will be ignored when it cannot be honored. Support for each type of peer is yet to be implemented. They currently all warn about lack of support. The warning code will get removed as peers gain support for this option. The option is still experimental, so we will have freedom to update the UI or implementation before it graduates out of experimental. Based on a changeset by Pierre-Yves David, which added the option.

hgweb: add support to explicitly access hidden changesets This changeset adds a "global" `access-hidden` argument to hgweb. This argument lift the "hidden" filtering. This means the request has access to hidden (eg: obsolete) changesets. Secret changesets remains filtered. This feature has multiple applications. The first main use case is to allow the hgweb interface to display more obsolescence related data, such as the Anton Shestakov work to add `obslog` support to hgweb. The second foreseen usecase is support for a `--remote-hidden` argument to `hg pull` and `hg clone`. This flag will make it possible to retrieve hidden (typically obsolete) changeset under some conditions. This is useful when digging up obsolescence history or when doing full mirroring. More on this feature coming in later changesets. To avoid exposing information by mistake, access to this feature is currently controlled with the `experimental.server.allow-hidden-access` config option. The option works the same way as `web.allow-push`. The current default is to not allow any hidden access. However we might change it before the feature stop being experimental.

clone-bundles: add an option to generate bundles in the background This is what the "on-change" version have been doing from the start, it seems useful to also offer this option in the command.

clone-bundles: add a command to clear all bundles

clone-bundles: add more test cases for automatic generation See inline documentation for details.

clone-bundles: introduce a command to refresh bundle This command allows for a different mode than the one attached to the transation. It might fit some hosting setup better.

clone-bundles: add a configuration to control auto-generation on changes We are about to introduce a "manual" way to deal with automatic clone management but running a command using some internal API. The first step is to introduce a way to control the "on changes" behavior.
