tests: improve test coverage for discovery and actual parameters for pulling

changectx: ancestor should only prefer merge.preferancestor if it is a revision The value '*' currently designates that bid merge should be used. The best way to test bid merge is to set preferancestor=* in the configuration file ... but then it would abort with unknown revision '*' when other code paths ended up in changectx.ancestor . Instead, just skip and ignore the value '*' when looking for a preferred ancestor.

merge: show the scary multiple ancestor hint for merges only, not for updates Updates with uncommited changes will always only have one ancestor - the parent revision. Updates between existing revision should (and will) always give the same result no matter which ancestor is used. The warning is thus only relevant when doing a "real" merge.

discovery: prevent crash on unknown remote heads with old repo (issue4337) When a remote is not capable of the `branchmap` wireproto command, we denote incoming heads with None. This leads to a crash in the code in charge of displaying the list of unknown remote heads. We now properly detect this case and display a shorter message in this case. The reason for this `set([None])` value is now documented.

obsstore.create: add a simple safeguard against cyclic markers We detect when there is a cycle in the marker itself (precursors being listed as successors).

debugobsolete: catch ValueError that may be raised by obsstore.create There are already a couple of errors that obsstore.create can raise and we are going to introduce a cycle check too.

check-code: extend try/except/finally check for multiple except clauses

repoview: fix try/except/finally for py2.4

test-run-tests: fix up slash/backslash on diff chunks for Windows

test-largefiles: add test for hg log --follow --patch with path This was the one case for test-largefiles that was not broken.

largefiles: don't override matchandpats for always matchers (issue4334) This makes hg log --follow --patch work, since in cmdutil._makelogrevset we use the non-follow matcher for hg log --follow --patch with no file arguments.

largefiles: in overridelog, use non-lf matcher for patch generation (issue4334) This has actually been broken since at least Mercurial 2.8 -- hg log --patch with largefiles only used to work when no largefiles existed. Rev 5809d62e7106 exposed this bug for all cases.

largefiles: drop setting lfstatus in overridelog (issue4334) lfstatus should only be True for operations where we want standins to be printed out. We explicitly do not want that for historical operations like log. Other historical operations like hg diff -r A -r B don't print out standins either. This is required to fix issue4334, but doesn't fix anything by itself. That's why there aren't any tests accompanying this patch.

cmdutil: add a hook for making custom non-follow log file matchers This will be used by largefiles (and basically only by largefiles) in an upcoming patch.

cmdutil: rename _makelogfilematcher to _makefollowlogfilematcher We're going to add a _makenofollowlogfilematcher in an upcoming patch.

alias: exit from bad definition by Abort

alias: show one-line hint for command provided by disabled extension It will be a hint of Abort exception. "hg help <alias>" provides the detailed version as before.

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.

revert: call status against revert target too We now call status against the target (and possibly against the working directory parent is different). We do not use the information from the two sources yet, but this is coming soon. We need the status information aganst the dirstate in all case because we need to be able to backup local modification.

revert: prefix variable names for dirstate status with "ds" As we are going to introduce status again other revision we needs to distinguish between data from dirstate status and the other one. We prefix the existing data with "ds" to highlight this.

revert: move manifest membership condition outside of the loop Currently, revset is using information from dirstate status and alter its behavior whenever the file exist in the target manifest or not. This tests are done a big for loop. We move this member ship testing outside of the loop and simplifies associates data structure. This is a step toward a cleaner implementation of revert based on status.

histedit: add "roll" command to fold commit data and drop message (issue4256) This new histedit command (short for "rollup") is a variant of "fold" akin to "hg amend" for working copy: it accumulates changes without interrupting the user and asking for an updated commit message.
