localrepo: create new function for instantiating a local repo object Today, there is a single local repository class - localrepository. Its __init__ is responsible for loading the .hg/requires file and taking different actions depending on what is present. In addition, extensions may define a "reposetup" function that monkeypatches constructed repository instances, often by implementing a derived type and changing the __class__ of the repo instance. Work around alternate storage backends and partial clone has made it clear to me that shoehorning all this logic into __init__ and operating on an existing instance is too convoluted. For example, localrepository assumes revlog storage and swapping in non-revlog storage requires overriding e.g. file() to return something that isn't a revlog. I've authored various patches that either: a) teach various methods (like file()) about different states and taking the appropriate code path at run-time b) create methods/attributes/callables used for instantiating things and populating these in __init__ "a" incurs run-time performance penalties and makes code more complicated since various functions have a bunch of "if storage is X" branches. "b" makes localrepository quickly explode in complexity. My plan for tackling this problem is to make the local repository type more dynamic. Instead of a static localrepository class/type that supports all of the local repository configurations (revlogs vs other, revlogs with ellipsis, revlog v1 versus revlog v2, etc), we'll dynamically construct a type providing the implementations that are needed for the repository on disk, derived from the .hg/requires file and configuration options. The constructed repository type will be specialized and methods won't need to be taught about different implementations nor overloaded. We may also leverage this functionality for building types that don't implement all attributes. For example, the "intents" feature allows commands to declare that they are read only. By dynamically constructing a repository type, we could return a repository instance with no attributes related to mutating the repository. This could include things like a "changelog" property implementation that doesn't check whether it needs to invalidate the hidden revisions set on every access. This commit establishes a function for building a local repository instance. Future commits will start moving functionality from localrepository.__init__ to this function. Then we'll start dynamically changing the returned type depending on options that are present. This change may seem radical. But it should be fully compatible with the reposetup() model - at least for now. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4563

transaction: make entries a private attribute (API) This attribute is tracking changes to append-only files. It is an implementation detail and should not be exposed as part of the public interface. But code in repair was accessing it, so it seemingly does belong as part of the public API. But that code in repair is making assumptions about how storage works and is grossly wrong when alternate storage backends are in play. We'll need some kind of "strip" API at the storage layer that knows how to handle things in a storage-agnostic manner. I don't think accessing a private attribute on the transaction is any worse than what this code is already doing. So I'm fine with violating the abstraction for transactions. And with this change, all per-instance attributes on transaction have been made private except for "changes" and "hookargs." Both are used by multiple consumers and look like they need to be part of the public interface. .. api:: Various attributes of ``transaction.transaction`` are now ``_`` prefixed to indicate they shouldn't be used by external consumers.

transaction: make names a private attribute This is used to report the transaction name in __repr__. It is very obviously an implementation detail and doesn't need to be exposed as part of the public interface. So mark it as private. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4633

transaction: make map a private attribute This is used to track which files are modified. It is an implementation detail of current transactions and doesn't need to be exposed to the public interface. So mark it as private. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4632

transaction: make report a private attribute This is a callable used for logging. It isn't used outside the transaction code. It doesn't need to be part of the public interface. Let's mark it as private. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4631

transaction: make opener a private attribute The VFS instance is an implementation detail of the transaction and doesn't belong as part of the public interface. So mark it as private. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4630

transaction: make after a private attribute This is another callable that is passed in at __init__ time. It doesn't need to be part of the public interface. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4629

transaction: make checkambigfiles a private attribute This holds instance state that is passed in at __init__ time. It doesn't need to be exposed as part of the public interface. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4628

transaction: make validator a private attribute This is similar to releasefn. It holds state that doesn't need to be exposed as part of the public interface. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4627

transaction: make releasefn a private attribute This is a handle on a callable that is called when the journal is closed. The value is specified at __init__ time. It doesn't need to be exposed on the public interface. So mark it as private. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4626
