run-tests: show scheduling with --showchannels This gives one line of output per second with one column per -j level that allows analyzing test scheduling problems. First 24 seconds of output at -j 30 looks like this: 0 . 1 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = s. 2 c c o c r l g r s s = c p = c h c a h c g c h c b c c l l c ss 3 h o b o e a e u u u c o a h o e o c g o l h g h u o = a o = s 4 e n s n b r n n b b m t g n l n l w n o e w e n n e r g i . 5 c t o = a g d - r r = m c w v p v . e v g c e c d v x g . m 6 k r l r s e o t e e b a h e e . e . b e . k b k l e t e . p 7 - i e e e f c e p p u n b b r . r . - r . - - - e r e f . o . 8 p b t v - i . s o o n d o d t . t . c t . c s = 2 t n i . r 9 y - e s c l . t - . d - m i - . - . o - . o y r - - s l . t 10 3 p - e h e . s s . l t b r s . s . m s . d m e f s i e . . 11 - e c t e s . . v . e e . . v . v . m v . e r n o v o s . . 12 c r h . c - . . n . 2 m . . n . n . a n . . e a r n n . . . 13 o f e . k u . . . . - p . . - . - . n - . . v m m - . . . . 14 m . c . - p . . . . e l . . s . m . d s . . . e a e . . . . 15 p . k . r d . . . . x a . . i . o . s o . . . - t n . . . . 16 a . h . e a . . . . c t . . n . v . . u . . . m . c . . . . 17 t . e . s t . . . . h e . . k . e . . r . . . e . o . . . . 18 . . a . t e . . . . a . . . . . . . . c . . . r . d . . . . 19 . . d . o . . . . . n . . . . . . . . e . . . g . i . . . . 20 . . s . r . . . . . g . . . . . . . . . . . . e . n . . . . 21 . . . . e . . . . . e . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 . g . . . . 22 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . = . . . . ^C Test names read off vertically, beginning with '='.

tests: avoid duplicate install steps in test-run-tests At several seconds each, this is significantly slowing down the test.

run-tests: add more scheduling weight hints The scheduler would like to order test execution by expected run-time, but doesn't know much about how long a test will run. It thus uses test size as a proxy for run-time. By tweaking these weights we can keep CPUs more evenly busy and thus finish sooner. In particular, this change pushes the three currently longest-running tests closer to the beginning: test-largefiles-update.t test-run-tests.t test-gendoc.t As the largefiles test is currently the long pole of the test suite with higher -j factors, the sooner it's started, the sooner the tests can end. We also up the weight on some shorter but long-running tests that could have previously delayed completion with low -j factors by running very close to the end.

run-tests: report timeouts in a less alarming fashion Rather than report timed-out tests like this: ERROR: test-convert-svn-sink.t output changed ! ..simply put a 't' rather than a '.' in the stream.

ui: try to handle $$ more robustly in prompts (issue4970)

merge with stable

import: reorder help text Try to place key concepts early+together.

import: add word to help text

import: refactor exact flag

help: filter extension commands

test-help: tighten grep patterns Help should output section headings, but no debug commands

summary: add troubles list to the output of hg summary This patch adds troubles information to the output of hg summary. Example line displayed in hg summary: unstable: 1 changeset

wix: add missing template

tests: add coverage to ensure Wix tracks 'help' and 'templates' files This would have caught the problem fixed by 65d2538ac993. There are other *.wxs files that can be checked, but they appear to be more complicated. For example, locale.wxs has what appears to be foreach loop support, as well as variable substitution. By checking `hg files` to determine tracked file, this is able to avoid false failures when other junk is present in the filesystem, like *.orig files. I can't tell if the map-cmdline.status file is not included on purpose, but I don't see the purpose of excluding it. The missing help files seem reasonable for Windows.

perf: adjust perfstartup() for Windows The /dev/null redirect was causing the following error: The system cannot find the path specified. Adjusting HGRCPATH as part of the command line causes the system to try to execute 'HGRCPATH'.
