crecord: add error reporting for failure in curses interface initialization
Before this patch, we couldn't report to the user any error that occurred:
- after we enabled the curses interface but
- before the interface is set up and drawn
This patch, provides a way to set errors that happens during the initialization
of the interface and log them once the curses interface has been displayed.

parser: take suffix action if no infix action is defined
If no infix action is defined, a suffix action isn't ambiguous, so it should
be taken no matter if the next token can be an operand. This is exactly the
same flow as prefix/primary handling.
This change has no effect now because all suffix tokens have infix actions.

"(:)" # next token ')' has no action
":+y" # next token '+' is infix operator
parsed as prefix operator:
":y" # next token 'y' is primary expression
":-y" # next token '-' is prefix operator

extdiff: use archiver to take snapshots of committed revisions
This is the last step before supporting extdiff -S. It maintains the existing

uncommitted largefile changes are ignored, as they previously were, even with
the diff command.

largefiles: allow the archiving of largefiles to be disabled
There are currently no users of this, but it is a necessary step before
converting extdiff to use archive. It may be useful to add an argument to
extdiff in the future and allow largefiles to be diffed, but archiving
largefiles can have significant overhead and may not be very diffable, so
archiving them by default seems wrong.
It is a mystery to me why the lfstatus attribute needs to be set on the
unfiltered repo. However if it is set on the filtered repo instead (and the
filtered repo is passed to the original command), the lfstatus attribute is
False in the overrides for archival.archive() and hgsubrepo.archive() when
invoking the archive command. This smells like the buggy status behavior (see
67d63ec85eb7, which was reverted in
df463ca0adef). Neither the status nor
summary commands have this weird behavior in their respective overrides.

So we should validate it before updating nothead[], phases[], seen[], etc.

We could use "rev" instead of "maxrev" as upper bound, but I think the explicit

crecord: fix issue when backgrounding editor would leave artefact
Before this patch:
- if a user was entering a commit message after having ran the curses
interface
- and then uses ctrl-z, followed by fg to put the editor in the
background/foreground
- then the curses interface would leave artefact on the screen of
the editor, making entering the commit message a difficult task
This happened because ncurses registers a signal handler for SIGTSTP and
does not restore the original signal handler after running.

above manually and it works correctly with the patch.

It doesn't sound nice that the tokenizer recurses into the parser. We could
instead make the tokenize itself recursive, but it would be much more
complicated because we would have to adjust binding strengths carefully and
put dummy infix operators to concatenate template fragments.
Now "string" token without r"" never appears. It will be removed by the next

hgweb: allow symbolic revisions with forward slashes in urls
It's possible to have a branch/tag/bookmark with all kinds of special
characters, such as {}/\!?. While not very conveniently, symbolic revisions
with such characters work from command line if user correctly quotes the
characters. These characters also work in hgweb, when they are properly
encoded, with one exception: '/' (forward slash, urlencoded as '%2F'), which
was getting decoded before hgweb could parse it as a part of PATH_INFO.
Because of that, hgweb was seeing it as any other forward slash, that is, as
just another url parts separator.
For example, if user wanted to see the content of dir/file at bookmark
'feature/eggs', url could be: '/file/feature%2Feggs/dir/file'. But hgweb tried
to find a revision 'feature' and get contents of 'eggs/dir/file'.
To fix this, let's assume forward slashes are doubly-urlencoded (%252F), so
CGI/WSGI server decodes it into %2F. Then we can decode %2F in the revision
part of the url into an actual '/' character.
Making hgweb produce such urls will be done in the next 2 patches.

shelve: keep old backups if timestamp can't decide exact order of them
Before this patch, backups to be discarded are decided by steps below
at 'hg unshelve' or so:
1. list '(st_mtime, filename)' tuples of each backups up
2. sort list of these tuples, and
3. discard backups other than 'maxbackups' ones at the end of list
This doesn't work well in the case below:
- "sort by name" order differs from actual backup-ing order, and
- some of backups have same timestamp
For example, 'test-shelve.t' satisfies the former condition:
- 'default-01' < 'default-1' in "sort by name" order
- 'default-1' < 'default-01' in actual backup-ing order
Then, 'default-01' is discarded instead of 'default-1' unexpectedly,
if they have same timestamp. This failure appears occasionally,
because the most important condition "same timestamp" is timing
critical.
To avoid such unexpected discarding, this patch keeps old backups if
timestamp can't decide exact order of them.
Timestamp of the border backup (= the oldest one of recent
'maxbackups' ones) as 'bordermtime' is used to examine whether
timestamp can decide exact order of backups.

One downside is that we cannot do "wctx.rev() in set" because wctx.rev() is

to wdirrev, but it seems overengineered at this point.
result = getset(repo, subset, tree)

automation infrastructure have both implemented custom code that
effectively perform clone+share. The common use case here is that
clients want to obtain N>1 checkouts while minimizing disk space and
network requirements. Furthermore, they often don't care that a clone
is an exact mirror of a remote: they are simply looking to obtain
checkouts of specific revisions.
When multiple third parties implement a similar feature, it's a good
sign that the feature is worth adding to the core product. This patch
adds support for an easy-to-use clone+share feature.
The internal "clone" function now accepts options to control auto
sharing during clone. When the auto share mode is active, a store will
be created/updated under the base directory specified and a new
repository pointing to the shared store will be created at the path
specified by the user.
The share extension has grown the ability to pass these options into
the clone command/function.
No command line options for this feature are added because we don't
feel the feature will be popular enough to warrant their existence.
There are two modes for auto share mode. In the default mode, the shared
repo is derived from the first changeset (rev 0) in the remote
repository. This enables related repositories existing at different URLs
to automatically use the same storage. In environments that operate
several repositories (separate repo for branch/head/bookmark or separate
repo per user), this has the potential to drastically reduce storage
and network requirements. In the other mode, the name is derived from the
remote's path/URL.
