chg: implement validate in hgclient This patch implements the corresponding validate method in hgclient. It will return instruction strings as is without taking any real action.

hgclient: use absolute_import and print_function

fixpax: use absolute_import and print_function

debugcmdserver: use absolute_import and print_function

check-config: use absolute_import and print_function

casesmash: use absolute_import

chgserver: implement validate command validate will load the repo config and check if the server has up-to-date config to continue serve the client. In case it does not, the server will send instructions to the client about what to do next, including to retry with a different address or to unlink an outdated socket file to stop an old server.

templater: handle exception when applying map operator to non-iterable object Before this, "{noniterable % template}" raised an exception. This tries to provide a better indication for the common case, where a left-hand-side expression is a keyword.

templater: factor out thin helper that evaluates argument as string This function is trivial, but it can make it clear that args[i] is a (func, data) pair.

color: make label() template function stringify "expr" argument first Since label() should return a string (or a thunk to be evaluated to a string), this change is okay. This helps porting to evalstring() helper. See the next patch for details.

templater: fix shortest() to evaluate int argument and handle error

templater: fix pad() to evaluate int argument and handle error

templater: drop redundant type conversion when evaluating integer argument A function argument may be an integer. In this case, it isn't necessary to convert a value to string and back to integer. Because an argument may be an arbitrary object (e.g. date tuple), TypeError should be caught as well.

templater: factor out function that evaluates argument as integer We have more bare int()s that may raise ValueError or TypeError. This function will be used to fix them.

chgserver: use basename for socket symlink Previously we use full path and the symlink may point to outside (unsafe) world if the directory is moved. This patch fixes it by only linking to basename of the target. Therefore the symbolic link and socket files will always stay in the same directory.

patch: when importing from email, RFC2047-decode From/Subject headers Reported at https://bugs.debian.org/737498

histedit: reword message when a changeset produces no changes There are various ways to use histedit such that an item in the list of things to perform will not result in a change relative to the previous repository state. When that happens, histedit does not keep the commit/message. This changes the note to try to explain to the user that it will not be present in their history.

tests: replace cat.py with cat in test-histedit-fold-non-commute.t

tests: Solaris grep doesn't add a trailing newline when it's missing The bad-extension tests emits a list of not-loaded extensions, and pipes that output through grep. On Solaris, the test-output gets "(no-eol)" appended because although the message has no trailing newline, GNU grep adds it. If we simply add the newline to the message, the problem goes away for both versions of grep.

tests: Solaris cmp complains about empty files, even with -s When you compare an empty file, such as /dev/null, with a non-empty file, Solaris cmp complains on stderr with "cmp: EOF on /dev/null", even if the -s argument is present. GNU cmp makes the complaint, but silences it with -s. We can change the pdiff utility to simply redirect stderr to /dev/null so that we don't have to worry about this difference in the test files.

tests: Solaris sed does not support "\n" meaning newline in the RHS of s/// The blackbox test rewrites a copy of test-dispatch.py on the fly, and adds a couple of lines with the s/// command. GNU sed supports the use of the \n escape to represent a newline, but not Solaris sed. Using a literal newline, prefixed by a backslash, works with both versions of the utility.

tests: Solaris cp doesn't support the -T option The treemanifest tests use the -T option to cp in order to ensure that the two directories named on the commandline are treated as peers, rather than the usual behavior when the final argument is a directory. GNU cp has this option, but other implementations may not. Thankfully, there's no pressing reason to use it. We can simply copy the contents of the first directory into the target directory, since we know that the target directory already exists.

templater: make date() use helper function to evaluate argument A date argument should never be a generator, but using evalfuncarg() should be good for consistency.

templater: fix revset() to evaluate format arguments eagerly See the previous patch for why. This patch also removes redundant list() construction from a list.
