localrepo: pass hook argument txnid to pretxnopen hooks
Before this patch, hook argument `txnid` isn't passed to `pretxnopen`
hooks, even though `hooks` section of `hg help config` describes so.
``pretxnopen``
Run before any new repository transaction is open. The reason for the
transaction will be in ``$HG_TXNNAME`` and a unique identifier for the
transaction will be in ``HG_TXNID``. A non-zero status will prevent the
transaction from being opened.
transaction: separate calculating TXNID from creating transaction object
Before this patch, transaction ID (TXNID) is calculated from
`transaction` object itself by `id()`, but this prevents TXNID from
being passed to `pretxnopen` hooks, which should be executed before
starting transaction processing (also any preparations for it, like
writing journal files out).
As a preparation for passing TXNID to `pretxnopen` hooks, this patch
separates calculation of TXNID from creation of `transaction` object.
This patch uses "random" library for reasonable unique ID. "uuid"
library can't be used, because it was introduced since Python 2.5 and
isn't suitable for Mercurial 3.4.x stable line.
`%f` formatting for `random.random()` is used with explicit precision
number 40, because default precision for `%f` is 6. 40 should be long
enough, even if 10**9 transactions are executed in a short time (a
second or less).
On the other hand, `time.time()` is used to ensures uniqueness of
TXNID in a long time, for safety.
BTW, platform not providing `/dev/urandom` or so may cause failure of
`import random` itself with some Python versions (see Python
issue15340 for detail http://bugs.python.org/
issue15340).
But this patch uses "random" without any workaround, because:
- "random" is already used directly in some code paths,
- such platforms are very rare (e.g. Tru64 and HPUX), and
http://bugs.python.org/
issue15340#msg170000
- updating Python runtime can avoid this issue
revbranchcache: return uncached branchinfo for nullrev (
issue4683)
This fixes the crash caused by "branch(null)" revset. No cache should be
necessary for nullrev because changelog.branchinfo(nullrev) does not involve
IO operation.
Note that the problem of "branch(wdir())" isn't addressed by this patch.
"wdir()" will raise TypeError in many places because of None. This is the
reason why "wdir()" is still experimental.
