help: provide help of bad alias without executing aliascmd()
The output is slightly changed because of minirst formatting. Previously,
ui.pushbuffer() had no effect because "badalias" message was written to stderr.
"if not unknowncmd" should no longer be needed because there's no call loop.
alias: provide "unknowncmd" flag to tell help to look for disabled command
This patch prepares for breaking the call loop: help.help_() -> cmdalias() ->
commands.help_() -> help.help_().
alias: keep error message in "badalias" so that help can see it
Upcoming patches will
- change help_() to get badalias message without executing cmdalias()
- raise Abort on bad alias
alias: add test for alias command provided by disabled extension
This should complete cases where "badalias" is set.
alias: expand "$@" as list of parameters quoted individually (BC) (
issue4200)
Before this patch, there was no way to pass in all the positional parameters as
separate words down to another command.
(1) $@ (without quotes) would expand to all the parameters separated by a space.
This would work fine for arguments without spaces, but arguments with spaces
in them would be split up by POSIX shells into separate words.
(2) '$@' (in single quotes) would expand to all the parameters within a pair of
single quotes. POSIX shells would then treat the entire list of arguments
as one word.
(3) "$@" (in double quotes) would expand similarly to (2).
With this patch, we expand "$@" (in double quotes) as all positional
parameters, quoted individually with util.shellquote, and separated by spaces.
Under standard field-splitting conditions, POSIX shells will tokenize each
argument into exactly one word.
This is a backwards-incompatible change, but the old behavior was arguably a
bug: Bourne-derived shells have expanded "$@" as a tokenized list of positional
parameters for a very long time. I could find this behavior specified in IEEE
Std 1003.1-2001, and this probably goes back to much further before that.
test-alias: add some tests to ensure we aren't double-substituting
An earlier iteration of an upcoming patch caused inadvertent
double substitution. Ensure we have test coverage for this.
revert: issue "no changes needed" message for files missing on both side
When a file was marked as removed in the working copy and did not existed in the
target of the revert, we did not issued any message pointing that no change was
needed to the file (implicitly saying that revert had changed the file).
We now properly issue a message in this situation. Tests change in and handful
of case where the message was documented as missing.
