Mercurial: Changelog

perf: import newer modules separately for earlier Mercurial demandimport of early Mercurial loads an imported module immediately, if a module is imported absolutely by "from a import b" style. Recent perf.py satisfies this condition, because it does: - have "from __future__ import absolute_import" line - use "from a import b" style for modules in "mercurial" package Before this patch, importing modules below prevents perf.py from being loaded by earlier Mercurial, because these aren't available in such Mercurial, even though there are some code paths for Mercurial earlier than 1.9. - branchmap 2.5 (or bcee63733aad) - repoview 2.5 (or 3a6ddacb7198) - obsolete 2.3 (or ad0d6c2b3279) - scmutil 1.9 (or 8b252e826c68) For example, setting "_prereadsize" attribute in perfindex() and perfnodelookup() is effective only with Mercurial earlier than 1.8 (or 61c9bc3da402). After this patch, "mercurial.error" is the only blocker in "from mercurial import" statement for loading perf.py with Mercurial earlier than 1.2. This patch ignores it, because just importing it separately isn't enough.

py3: conditionalize BaseHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer and CGIHTTPServer import The BaseHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer and CGIHTTPServer has been merged into http.server in python 3. All of them has been merged as util.httpserver to use in both python 2 and 3. This patch adds a regex to check-code to warn against the use of BaseHTTPServer. Moreover this patch also includes updates to lower part of test-check-py3-compat.t which used to remain unchanged.

py3: re-implement the BaseHTTPServer.test() function The function is changed in python 3. So the latest version of function is re-implemented. One can look at https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.5/Lib/http/server.py#l1184 and https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/BaseHTTPServer.py#l590 to see the change

test-http: use sed instead of fixed-with cut for reading access.log Some systems (like FreeBSD jails) use something other than 127.0.0.1 for localhost, and it's not safe to assume it'll always be the same width. Using sed with a replacement like this sidesteps the problem.
