bundle2: a very first version of bundle2 unbundler
This changeset introduce an unbundler class to match the bundle2 bundler. It is
currently able to unbundle an empty bundle2 only and will gain more feature at
the same pace than the bundler.
It also comes with its special extension command in test.

bundle2: very first version of a bundle2 bundler
This changeset is the very first of a long series. It create a new bundle2
module and add a simple class that generate and empty bundle2 container.
The module is documented with the current state of the implementation. For
information about the final goal you may want to consult the mercurial wiki
page:
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BundleFormat2
The documentation of the module will be updated with later patches adding more and
more feature to the format.
This patches also introduce a test case. This test case build and use its own
small extension that use the new bundle2 module. Since the new format is unable
to do anything right now, we could not use real mercurial code to test it.
Moreover, some advanced feature of the bundle2 spec will not be used by core
mercurial at all. So we need to have them tested.

sshpeer: only print out 'running ssh' messages in debug mode (BC)
Previously, if another command was run with --verbose, and for whatever reason
that invoked sshpeer, we'd get a 'running ssh' message from sshpeer. This extra
line would interfere with that command's output and cause dumb parsers to
break.
For example, hg annotate can be run with --verbose to get full usernames. This,
combined with the third-party remotefilelog extension which can cause ssh
connections to be created, leads to an extra 'running ssh' line that breaks
most parsers.
This patch is (BC) because hg pull --verbose will no longer print out exactly
what ssh command it is running.
No tests are affected by this change.

mq: omit ".hgsubstate" from qnew/qrefresh target list for consistent node hash
Before this patch, even if specified file patterns and -I/-X options
cause listing ".hgsubstate" up in the target list, qnew/qrefresh put
".hgsubstate" into the target list individually and forcibly.
This changes how many times ".hgsubstate" appear in the target list
according to run-time conditions, and causes inconsistent node hash,
even though revision content is same, because node hash calculation
uses the specified target list directly (without duplication check or
so).
This patch always omits ".hgsubstate" from qnew/qrefresh target list
for consistent node hash.
This omitting doesn't miss including ".hgsubstate" changes, because:
- "localrepository.commit()" puts ".hgsubstate" into the target list
for "commitctx()" forcibly if needed
- "mq.putsubstate2changes()" puts ".hgsubstate" into the target list
for "patch.diff()" if it is not yet listed up

qnew: omit meaningless and harmful putting subrepositories into target list
Before this patch, qnew puts updated subrepositories into target list
forcibly, if any of -I, -X or patterns are specified.
But this is meaningless and harmful, because:
- putting subrepositories into target list doesn't affect the result
of "localrepository.status()"
"dirstate.status()" invoked via "localrepository.status()" always
omits subrepositories from the result of it
- any -I/-X opts and empty "pats" causes unexpected failure
when any -I/-X opts are specified, "inclsubs" are always added to
"pats", even if "pats" is empty.
but this changes meaning of "pats" from "including all to be
included" to "including only listed subrepositories"
this may exclude ".hgsub" and cause unexpected exception raising
("can't commit subrepos without .hgsub" ).
- qnew at other than repository root (with -I, -X or any patterns)
causes unexpected failure
"scmutil.match()" treats pattern without syntax type as 'relpath'
type (= one rooted at cwd).
but qnew puts subrepository paths rooted at the repository root,
and it causes unexpected exception raising ("SUBREPO not under
root ROOT" in "pathutil.canonpath()"), if "hg qnew" is executed at
other than repository root with -I, -X or any patterns.
This patch omits meaningless and harmful putting subrepositories into
target list.
This omitting doesn't miss including updated subrepositories, because
subrepositories are specified to "scmutil.matchfiles()" directly, to
get "match" object for "localrepository.commit()".

wireproto: move wireproto capabilities computation in a subfunction
It will help people that need to add capabilities (in a more subtle was that

1. This function returns a list, not a string. Making it easier to look at,
extend or alter the content.
2. The original capabilities function will be store in the dictionary of wire
protocol command. So extension that wrap this function also need to update
the dictionary entry.
Both wrapping and update of the dictionary entry are needed because the
`hello` wire protocol use the function itself. This is specifically sneaky for
extension writer as ssh use the `hello` command while http use the
`capabilities` command.
With this new `_capabilities` function there is one and only one obvious
place to wrap when needed.

It is expected that people benchmarking revset have some knowledge of revset.

contrib: added revset performance benchmarking script
This script takes two arguments (starting revision, ending revision) and tests
for each revision in between the entire list of revsets in the script using
perfrevset.

help: filter out deprecated options with untranslated descriptions
When using a different language than English, deprecated options were only
removed from the output of `hg help anycmd` when "DEPRECATED" in the options
description was translated.

parsers: fail fast if Python has wrong minor version (
issue4110)
This change causes an informative ImportError to be raised when importing
the parsers extension module if the minor version of the currently-running
Python interpreter doesn't match that of the Python used when compiling
the extension module.
This change also exposes a parsers.versionerrortext constant in the
C implementation of the module. Its presence can be used to determine
whether this behavior is present in a version of the module. The value
of the constant is the leading text of the ImportError raised and is set
to "Python minor version mismatch".
Here is an example of what the new error looks like:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
import mercurial.parsers
ImportError: Python minor version mismatch: The Mercurial extension
modules were compiled with Python 2.7.6, but Mercurial is currently using
Python with sys.hexversion=
33883888: Python 2.5.6
(r256:88840, Nov 18 2012, 05:37:10)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.1 ((tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66))]
at: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/
Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
The reason for raising an error in this scenario is that Python's C API
is known not to be compatible from minor version to minor version, even
if sys.api_version is the same. See for example this Python bug report
about incompatibilities between 2.5 and 2.6+:
http://bugs.python.org/
issue8118
These incompatibilities can cause Mercurial to break in mysterious,
unforeseen ways. For example, when Mercurial compiled with Python 2.7 was
run with 2.5, the following crash occurred when running "hg status":
http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4110
After this crash was fixed, running with Python 2.5 no longer crashes, but
the following puzzling behavior still occurs:
$ hg status
...
File ".../mercurial/changelog.py", line 123, in __init__
revlog.revlog.__init__(self, opener, "00changelog.i")
File ".../mercurial/revlog.py", line 251, in __init__
d = self._io.parseindex(i, self._inline)
File ".../mercurial/revlog.py", line 158, in parseindex
index, cache = parsers.parse_index2(data, inline)
TypeError: data is not a string
which can be reproduced more simply with:
import mercurial.parsers as parsers
parsers.parse_index2("", True)
Both the crash and the TypeError occurred because the Python C API's
PyString_Check() returns the wrong value when the C header files from
Python 2.7 are run with Python 2.5. This is an example of an
incompatibility of the sort mentioned in the Python bug report above.
Failing fast with an informative error message results in a better user
experience in cases like the above. The information in the ImportError
also simplifies troubleshooting for those on Mercurial mailing lists, the
bug tracker, etc.
This patch only adds the version check to parsers.c, which is sufficient
to affect command-line commands like "hg status" and "hg summary".
An idea for a future improvement is to move the version-checking C code
to a more central location, and have it run when importing all
Mercurial extension modules and not just parsers.c.

debuginstall: change showing to checking for consistency and future checking
Chris Jerdonek <chris.jerdonek@gmail.com> [Tue, 31 Dec 2013 00:37:16 -0800] rev 20740
debuginstall: add Python information to debuginstall output (
issue4128)
This change adds to the output of "hg debuginstall" information about the
Python being used by Mercurial. It adds both the path to the Python
executable (i.e. the value of sys.executable) and the version of Python
(specifically the major, minor, and micro versions).
Below is an example of what the output looks like after this change.
The marked lines are the new output lines:
$ hg debuginstall
checking encoding (UTF-8)...
-->showing Python executable (/Users/chris/.virtualenvs/default/bin/python)
-->showing Python version (2.7.6)
checking Python lib (/Users/chris/.virtualenvs/default/lib/python2.7)...
checking installed modules (/Users/chris/mercurial)...
checking templates (/Users/chris/mercurial/templates)...
checking commit editor...
checking username...
no problems detected
Note that we use the word "showing" without an ellipsis for the new lines
because, unlike the other lines (except for "Python lib" which will be
adjusted in a subsequent commit), no check follows the display of this
information.
