scmutil: clean up bytes/string cache decorator mess on Python 3 again The previous fix to this area worked, but was dropping bytes in __dict__ on Python 3. This was causing subtle breakage in test-check-interfaces.py, and probably other things too. Fixed now. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3464

directaccess: use resolvehexnodeidprefix() instead of _partialmatch() Same reasoning as previous commit: I want to make resolvehexnodeidprefix() move complex and don't want to duplicate that code in directaccess. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3463

revset: use resolvehexnodeidprefix() in id() predicate (BC) We now have a public method for this purpose, so we don't need to access the private revlog._partialmatch(). Also, I'll probably make some changes to resolvehexnodeidprefix() later, and I want those to be reflected by the id() predicate. Note that this breaks a test case, because we now resolve the prefix in the unfiltered repo and get an ambiguous lookup, which results in no revision being added to the revset. The test case was already documented to be broken even though it wasn't. It's important to note that {shortest(node)} already uses the unfiltered repo, so we're not going to break people who get the prefix from there. I think we may not want to ever use shortest() in the filtered repo. It seems unlikely to be enough of a win to matter much. For example, in my hg repo, it would save me only 0.2 hex digits. In another repo that only I modify, it saves a little more, but it's still only 0.29 hex digits. It seems unlikely that people will prune enough commits that only 1/16 of the commits are visible (which is what it would take a to save a single hex digit). Instead, I'm working on another approach: allow ambiguous matches to be disambiguated within a user-specified revset. Whether or not that pans out, I hope we're okay with this little change in behavior for now and we can decide what to do about it later. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3311

revset: make id() an empty set for ambiguous nodeid (BC) As Yuya pointed out in the review of D3311, id() (and rev()) does not raise an error when the input is an unknown identifier, so it doesn't make sense for it to do that when the input is ambiguous with a filtered node. However, it turned out that it already does raise an error when the input is ambiguous among the visible nodes. So let's start by fixing that.
