test-dispatch: Make test of removed working directory work on AIX (
issue2315)
AIX sh won't delete its own working directory. Removing it from another process
works.
Also hide the actual OS error message - operating systems returns different
errors when getcwd fails.
dirstate: ignore symlinks when fs cannot handle them (
issue1888)
When the filesystem cannot handle the executable bit, we currently
ignore it completely when looking for modified files. Similarly, it is
impossible to set or clear the bit when the filesystem ignores it.
This patch makes Mercurial treat symbolic links the same way.
Symlinks are a little different since they manifest themselves as
small files containing a filename (the symlink target). On Windows,
these files show up as regular files, and on Linux and Mac they show
up as real symlinks.
Issue1888 presents a case where the symlink files are better ignored
from the Windows side. A Linux client creates symlinks in a working
copy which is shared over a network between Linux and Windows clients.
The Samba server is helpful and defererences the symlink when the
Windows client looks at it. This means that Mercurial on the Windows
side sees file content instead of a file name in the symlink, and
hence flags the link as modified. Ignoring the change would be much
more helpful, similarly to how Mercurial does not report any changes
when executable bits are ignored in a checkout on Windows.
An initial checkout of a symbolic link on a file system that cannot
handle symbolic links will still result in a regular file containing
the target file name as its content. Sharing such a checkout with a
Linux client will not turn the file into a symlink automatically, but
'hg revert' can fix that. After the revert, the Windows client will
see the correct file content (provided by the Samba server when it
follows the link on the Linux side) and otherwise ignore the change.
Running 'hg perfstatus' 10 times gives these results:
Before: After:
min: 0.544703 min: 0.546549

The median time is increased about 0.24%.
mq/qqueue: enable bash completion
Return the list of available queues when completion is attempted on qqueue.
mq/qqueue: --list does not print (active) with --quiet
For scripting purposes, it can be convenient to get a simple listing of
available queues, without indication of the active one.
--quiet documentation change removed by Patrick Mézard.
