run-tests: allow to specify executable of any name by --with-hg If the executable is not named as "hg", TTest runner inserts alias. This way, we can run tests with chg. But it is still warned because the alias does not always work. We do "$BINDIR"/hg in a few places.

run-tests: drop redundant assignment to BINDIR We do it a few lines after.

run-tests: cast --with-hg option to bytes consistently at parseargs() parseargs() sets bytes to options.with_hg if --local is specified, so do the same for --with-hg.

run-tests: do not compare bytes with str while ordering tests It failed on Python 3.

clonebundles: use absolute_import

churn: use absolute_import

children: use absolute_import

censor: use absolute_import

bugzilla: use absolute_import

blackbox: use absolute_import

acl: use absolute_import Continuing the march towards Python 3.

checkunknown: audit path before checking if it's a file or link Previously we would lstat the file to see if it was a file or a link before attempting to process it. If the file happened to exist across a symlink, and if that symlink was pointing to a network file system, that check could be very expensive. The new logic audit's the path to avoid symlinks before performing the lstat on the file itself. In our situation, this shaved 10 minutes off of certain hg updates. 300 files * (2 seconds - the network filesystem lookup time)

pathauditor: change parts verification order to be root first Previously, when we verified the parts of a path in the auditor, we would validate the deepest directory first, then it's parent, and so on up to the root. If there happened to be a symlink in the chain, that meant our first check would likely traverse that symlink. In some cases that symlink might point to a network filesystem that is expensive, and therefore this simple check could be very slow. The fix is to check the path parts starting at the root and working our way down. This has a minor performance difference in that we used to be able to short circuit from the audit if we reached a directory that had already been checked. Now we can't, but the cost is N dictionary look ups, where N is the number of parts in the path, which should be fairly minor.

chg: forward job control signals to worker process (issue5051) This is necessary to suspend/resume long pulls, interactive curses session, etc. The implementation is based on emacsclient, but our version doesn't test if chg process is foreground or not before propagating SIGCONT. This is because chg isn't always an interactive session. If we copy the SIGTTIN/SIGTTOU emulation from emacsclient, non-interactive session can't be moved to a background job. $ chg pull ^Z suspended $ bg %1 [1] continued [1] suspended (tty input) # wrong https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/0e96320/lib-src/emacsclient.c#L1094

chg: verify return value of sigaction() and sigemptyset() They should never fail, but it couldn't hurt to be a paranoid.

chg: initialize sigaction fields more reliably It seems calling memset() and sigemptyset() is common pattern to initialize sigaction. And strictly speaking, sigset_t must be initialized by sigemptyset() or sigfillset(). I saw git and uwsgi do that way, so let's follow them.

tests: confirm that a badly documented extension doesn't cause a crash An external extension whose docstring doesn't conform to Mercurial standards used to cause crashes. Test that we omit such extensions when you do a keyword search.

bookmarks: avoid creating a nested repository during testing This helps the test to pass with hgwatchman, which would otherwise need to be taught about a nested .hg directory. hgwatchman already blacklists test-nested-repo.t which covers the actual usecase

dispatch: strip command line options like config file options Currently, whitespace in command line --config options are considered significant while whitespace in config files are not considered significant. This diff strips the leading and trailing whitespace from command line config options.

hook: for python hook ImportErrors, add note to run with --traceback I personally found it completely non-obvious that --traceback prints out stack traces for failed imports.

hook: fewer parentheses for hook load errors This matches 'hook failed' warnings. We're also going to add hints to some of the hook load errors. Without this change we'd have two pairs of parens for a single error message, which looks really cluttered.

hook: use sys.exc_info rather than the deprecated equivalents sys.exc_type etc have been deprecated since Python 1.5.

doc: describe full help document hierarchy to create a valid link in HTML For example, ":hg:`help config.default-push`" creates an invalid link to "hgrc.5.html#default-push" in HTML, but ":hg:`help config.paths.default-push`" creates a valid link to "hgrc.5.html#paths".

doc: translate from :hg:`help config.SECTION` to a valid link to hgrc.5.html Before this patch, ":hg:`help config.SECTION`" in online help text is translated to a link to "hg.1.html#config.SECTION" in HTML unintentionally. This patch translates from :hg:`help config.SECTION` in online help text to a valid link to "hgrc.5.html#SECTION" in HTML. This patch ignores element(s) under "SECTION" (e.g. "ITEM" of ":hg:`help config.SECTION.ITEM`"), because there is no way to refer directly to it in HTML, yet.

doc: translate from :hg:`help config` to a valid link to hgrc.5.html Before this patch, ":hg:`help config`" in online help text is translated to a link to "hg.1.html#config" in HTML, even though actual "hg help config" shows not help for "hg config" command but "config" help topic, and all of current ":hg:`help config`" expects the latter. This patch translates from ":hg:`help config`" in online help text to a link to "hgrc.5.html" in HTML as expected. This patch also allows ":hg:`help -c COMMAND`" style to link "hg.1.html#COMMAND" for readability.

i18n: calculate correct line number in source of messages to be translated Before this patch, line number in source of the message to be translated is wrong in hg.pot, if corresponded message is placed after ".. DIRECTIVE::", because number of lines related to such directive isn't added to variable "delta", which holds number of untranslated lines in given text. This patch always adds "2" to "delta", because text block is split into translation units by "\n\n".

revsetbenchmark: handle exception case If the revset being benchmarked has an exception, the handling code was encountering an error because the exception did not always have an "output" attribute (I think it's a python 2.7 thing).

merge: minimize conflicts when common base is not shown (issue4447) Previously, two changes that were nearly, but not quite, identical would result in large merge conflict regions that looked very similar, and were thus very confusing to users, and lead people used to other source control systems to claim that "mercurial's merge algorithms suck". In the relatively common case of a new file being introduced in two branches with very slight modifications, the old behavior would show the entire file as a conflict, and it would be very difficult for a user to determine what was going on. In the past, mercurial attempted to solve this with a "very smart" algorithm that would find all common lines, but this has significant problems as described in 2ea6d906cf9b. Instead, we use a "very dumb" algorithm introduced in the previous patch that simply matches lines at the periphery of conflict regions. This minimizes most conflict regions well, though there may still be some degenerate edge cases, like small modification to the beginning and end of a large file.
