help: make "mergetool" an alias for "merge-tools" I've probably typed `hg help mergetool` dozens of times. I'm tired of it not working.

templatekw: force noprefix=False to insure diffstat consistency (issue4755) The result of diffstatdata should not depend on having noprefix set or not, as was reported in issue 4755. Forcing noprefix to false on call makes sure the parser receives the diff in the correct format and returns the proper result. Another way to fix this would have been to change the regular expressions in path.diffstatdata(), but that would have introduced many unecessary special cases.

check-code: reject module-level @cachefunc Module-level @cachefunc usage is risky because it can easily create a memory "leak". Let's reject it completely for now. If a valid usage comes up in the future, we can always improve the check or reconsider.

similar: remove caching from the module level To prevent Bad Things™ from happening, let's rework the logic to not use util.cachefunc.

patch: add label for coloring the similarity extended header Just like the summary says, this will colorize the: similarity index 88% line in the diff output.

patch: use opt.showsimilarity to calculate and show the similarity Tests have been added.

patch: add similarity config knob in experimental section This config knob will control whether or not to show the similarity calculation in the diff output: diff --git a/README.md b/foo.md similarity index 88% rename from README.md rename to foo.md --- a/README.md +++ b/foo.md

similar: move score function to module level Future patches will use this to report the similarity of a rename / copy in the patch output.

revset: abuse x:y syntax to specify line range of followlines() This slightly complicates the parsing (see the previous patch), but the overall result seems not bad. I keep x:, :y and : for future extension.

revset: do not transform range* operators in parsed tree This allows us to handle x:y range as a general range object. A primary user of it is followlines().
