testing: add interface unit tests for file storage Our strategy for supporting alternate storage backends is to define interfaces for everything then "code to the interface." We already have interfaces for various primitives, including file and manifest storage. What we don't have is generic unit tests for those interfaces. Up to this point we've been relying on high-level integration tests (mainly in the form of existing .t tests) to test alternate storage backends. And my experience with developing the "simple store" test extension is that such testing is very tedious: it takes several minutes to run all tests and when you find a failure, it is often non-trivial to debug. This commit starts to change that. This commit introduces the mercurial.testing.storage module. It contains testing code for storage. Currently, it defines some unittest.TestCase classes for testing the file storage interfaces. It also defines some factory functions that allow a caller to easily spawn a custom TestCase "bound" to a specific file storage backend implementation. A new .py test has been added. It simply defines a callable to produce filelog and transaction instances on demand and then "registers" the various test classes so the filelog class can be tested with the storage interface unit tests. As part of writing the tests, I identified a couple of apparent bugs in revlog.py and filelog.py! These are tracked with inline TODO comments. Writing the tests makes it more obvious where the storage interface is lacking. For example, we raise either IndexError or error.LookupError for missing revisions depending on whether we use an integer revision or a node. Also, we raise error.RevlogError in various places when we should be raising a storage-agnostic error type. The storage interfaces are currently far from perfect and there is much work to be done to improve them. But at least with this commit we finally have the start of unit tests that can be used to "qualify" the behavior of a storage backend. And when implementing and debugging new storage backends, we now have an obvious place to define new tests and have obvious places to insert breakpoints to facilitate debugging. This should be invaluable when implementing new storage backends. I added the mercurial.testing package because these interface conformance tests are generic and need to be usable by all storage backends. Having the code live in tests/ would make it difficult for storage backends implemented in extensions to test their interface conformance. First, it would require obtaining a copy of Mercurial's storage test code in order to test. Second, it would make testing against multiple Mercurial versions difficult, as you would need to import N copies of the storage testing code in order to achieve test coverage. By making the test code part of the Mercurial distribution itself, extensions can `import mercurial.testing.*` to access and run the test code. The test will run against whatever Mercurial version is active. FWIW I've always wanted to move parts of run-tests.py into the mercurial.* package to make the testing story simpler (e.g. imagine an `hg debugruntests` command that could invoke the test harness). While I have no plans to do that in the near future, establishing the mercurial.testing package does provide a natural home for that code should someone do this in the future.

narrow: remove narrowrevlog Core now automatically enables ellipsis support on revlogs when repositories have narrow enabled. So, we no longer need to globally register the revlog flag as part of activating the narrow extension and this code can be deleted. A side effect of this change is that repositories will now raise an error on encountering an ellipsis flag when the narrow extension is loaded. Previously, loading the narrow extension on a non-narrow repo could result in silent usage of the ellipsis flag. This could lead to undetected bugs. I think the new behavior is more correct.

localrepo: enable ellipsis flag on revlogs when repo is narrow If the narrow requirement is present, revlogs created for that repository will have the ellipsis flag enabled. This is the same behavior that the narrow extension exhibits. Except the ellipsis flag won't be enabled on repos/revlogs that don't have the narrow requirement.
