shelve: only keep the latest N shelve backups
This will keep the backup directory from growing indefinitely. The number of
backups to keep can be set using the shelve.maxbackups config option (defaults
to 10 backups).
shelve: always backup shelves instead of deleting them
Instead of being deleted, shelve files are now moved into the .hg/shelve-backup
directory. This is designed similarly to how strip saves backups into
.ht/strip-backup. The goal is to prevent data loss especially when using
unshelve. There are cases in which a user can complete an unshelve but lose
some of the data that was shelved by, for example, resolving merge conflicts
incorrectly. Storing backups will allow the user to recover the data that was
shelved, at the expense of using more disk space over time.
wireproto: remove a debug print
This looks like someone forgot something here.
amend: move obsmarkers creation in the "new changeset" conditional
We already check if we created a new changesets right above this piece of code,
so we can just drop the condition and indent the markers creation.
amend: move createmarkers evaluation earlier
The value is used at multiple points in the function. Retrieving the
value in the middle of the transaction scope gives the false
impression that it has a single user. We move it at the start of the
function to clarify this.
wireproto: correctly escape batched args and responses (
issue4739)
This issue appears to be as old as wireproto batching itself: I can
reproduce the failure as far back as
08ef6b5f3715 trivially by
rebasing the test changes in this patch, which was back in the 1.9
era. I didn't test before that change, because prior to that the
testfile has a different name and I'm lazy.
Note that the test thought it was checking this case, but it actually
wasn't: it put a literal ; in the arg and response for its greet
command, but the mangle/unmangle step defined in the test meant that
instead of "Fo, =;o" going over the wire, "Gp-!><p" went instead,
which doesn't contain any special characters (those being [.=;]) and
thus not exercising the escaping. The test has been updated to use
pre-unmangled special characters, so the request is now "Fo+<:o",
which mangles to "Gp,=;p". I have confirmed that the test fails
without the adjustment to the escaping rules in wireproto.py.
No existing clients of RPC batching were depending on the old behavior
in any way. The only *actual* users of batchable RPCs in core were:
1) largefiles, wherein it batches up many statlfile calls. It sends
hexlified hashes over the wire and gets a 0, 1, or 2 back as a
response. No risk of special characters.
2) setdiscovery, which was using heads() and known(), both of which
communicate via hexlified nodes. Again, no risk of special characters.
Since the escaping functionality has been completely broken since it
was introduced, we know that it has no users. As such, we can change
the escaping mechanism without having to worry about backwards
compatibility issues.
For the curious, this was detected by chance: it happens that the
lz4-compressed text of a test file for remotefilelog compressed to
something containing a ;, which then caused the failure when I moved
remotefilelog to using batching for file content fetching.
