workingfilectx: add exists, lexists Switch the lone call in merge.py to use it. As with past refactors, the goal is to make wctx hot-swappable with an in-memory context in the future. This change should be a no-op today.

vfs: add explanation about cost of checkambig=True in corner case

vfs: replace avoiding ambiguity in abstractvfs.rename with _avoidambig This centralizes common logic to forcibly avoid file stat ambiguity into _avoidambig(), which was introduced by previous patch.

vfs: copy if EPERM to avoid file stat ambiguity forcibly at closing Now, files (to be truncated) are opened with checkambig=True, only if localrepository caches it. Therefore, straightforward "copy if EPERM" is always reasonable to avoid file stat ambiguity at closing. This patch makes checkambigatclosing close wrapper copy the target file, and advance mtime on it after renaming, if EPERM. This can avoid file stat ambiguity, even if the target file is owned by another (see issue5418 and issue5584 for detail). This patch factors main logic out instead of changing checkambigatclosing._checkambig() directly, in order to reuse it.

transaction: apply checkambig=True only on limited files for similarity Now, transaction can determine whether avoidance of file stat ambiguity is needed for each files, by blacklist "checkambigfiles". For similarity to truncation in _playback(), this patch apply checkambig=True only on limited files in code paths below. - restoring files by util.copyfile(), in _playback() (checkambigfiles itself is examined at first, because it as a keyword argument might be None) - writing files at finalization of transaction, in _generatefiles() This patch reduces cost of checking stat at writing out and restoring files, which aren't filecache-ed.

transaction: avoid file stat ambiguity only for files in blacklist Advancing mtime by os.utime() fails for EPERM, if the target file is owned by another. bff5ccbe5ead and related changes made some code paths give advancing mtime up in such case, to fix issue5418. This causes file stat ambiguity (again), if it is owned by another. https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ExactCacheValidationPlan To avoid file stat ambiguity in such case, especially for .hg/dirstate, ed66ec39933f made vfs.rename() copy the target file, and advance mtime of renamed one again, if EPERM (see issue5584 for detail). But straightforward "copy if EPERM" isn't reasonable for truncation of append-only files at rollbacking, because rollbacking might cost much for truncation of many filelogs, even though filelogs aren't filecache-ed. Therefore, this patch introduces blacklist "checkambigfiles", and avoids file stat ambiguity only for files specified in this blacklist. This patch consists of two parts below, which should be applied at once in order to avoid regression. - specify 'checkambig=True' at vfs.open(mode='a') in _playback() according to checkambigfiles - invoke _playback() with checkambigfiles - add transaction.__init__() checkambigfiles argument, for _abort() - make localrepo instantiate transaction with _cachedfiles - add rollback() checkambigfiles argument, for "hg rollback/recover" - make localrepo invoke rollback() with _cachedfiles After this patch, straightforward "copy if EPERM" will be reasonable at closing the file opened with checkambig=True, because this policy is applied only on files, which are listed in blacklist "checkambigfiles".

localrepo: store path and vfs location of cached properties This information is used to make transaction handle these files specially, in order to avoid file stat ambiguity of them. Gathering information about cached files via annotation classes can avoid overlooking properties newly introduced in the future.

template: add successors template Add a 'successorssets' template that returns the list of all closest known sucessorssets for a changectx. The elements of the list are changesets. The "closest successors" are the first locally known revisions encountered while, walking successors markers. It uses successorsets previously modified to support the closest argument. This logic respect repository filtering. So hidden revision will be skipped by this logic unless --hidden is specified. Since we only display the visible predecessors, this template will not display anything in most case. It makes a good candidate for inclusion in the default log output. I updated the test-obsmarker-template.t test file introduced with the predecessors template to test successorssets template.

template: add tests for more complex cases We add new tests for improving the coverage of existing obs-markers related template (predecessors) and the new one we are introducing (successorssets).

obsolete: closest divergent support Add a closest argument to successorssets changing the definition of latest successors. With "closest=false" (current behavior), latest successors are "leafs" on the obsmarker graph. They don't have any successor and are known locally. With "closest=true", latest successors are the closest locally-known changesets that are visible in the repository or repoview. Closest successors can be then obsolete, orphan. This will be used in a later patch to show the closest successor of changesets with the successorssets template.

obsolete: pass cache argument of successors set explicitly We plan to add a new argument to successorsets. But first we need to update all callers to pass cache argument explicitly to avoid arguments confusion.

obsolete: small doc update for 'successorssets' Clarify successorssets documentation before we start updating the main function. This patch serie will introduce the successorssets template, the opposite of predecessor templates. Successors will use successorssets function and requires some improvement so before doing that, we clean up successorssets a bit.
