match: remove unnecessary '^' from regexes The regexes are passed to re.match(), which matches against the beginning of the input, so the '^' doesn't do anything. Note that unrooted patterns, such as globs and regexes from .hgignore are instead achieved by adding '.*' to the expression given by the user. (That's unless the user's expression started with '^', in which case the '.*' is not added, perhaps to keep the regex cleaner?)

sparse: access status fields by name instead of deconstructing it The status tuples has had named fields for a few years now.

sparse: move printing of sparse config changes function into core As part of the port, all arguments now have default values of 0. Strings are now also given the i18n treatment.

sparse: move code for clearing rules to core This is a pretty straightforward port.

sparse: move post commit actions into core Instead of wrapping committablectx.markcommitted(), we inline the call into workingctx.markcommitted(). Per smf's review, workingctx is the proper location for this code, as committablectx is the shared base class for it and memctx. Since this code touches the working directory, it belongs in workingctx.

cleanupnode: do not use generator for node mapping The 'successors' part of the mappings used of be a tuple. This avoid issue from code consuming the generator "by mistake". For example, an extension inspecting the mapping content used to be able to iterate over the successors mapping without consequence. Since the mapping are small we do not expect any performance impact we use tuple again for this.

histedit: use scmutil.cleanupnodes (BC) This is marked as BC because the strip backup file name has changed.

histedit: unify strip backup files on success (BC) Previously we wrote two different strip backup files on success. This patch unifies them. It will make scmutil.cleanupnodes migration more smooth.

histedit: pass multiple nodes to strip (BC) Previously, histedit.cleanupnode pass root nodes one by one. Since repair.strip takes multiple nodes and can handle them just fine, pass all strip roots at once. This is BC because the number of strip backup files may change from N to 1.

histedit: remove "name" parameter from cleanupnode functions The "name" parameter is not used any longer so let's remove it.
