tests: replace "cp -r" with "cp -R" The POSIX documentation about "cp" [1] says: .... RATIONALE .... Earlier versions of this standard included support for the -r option to copy file hierarchies. The -r option is historical practice on BSD and BSD-derived systems. This option is no longer specified by POSIX.1-2008 but may be present in some implementations. The -R option was added as a close synonym to the -r option, selected for consistency with all other options in this volume of POSIX.1-2008 that do recursive directory descent. The difference between -R and the removed -r option is in the treatment by cp of file types other than regular and directory. It was implementation-defined how the - option treated special files to allow both historical implementations and those that chose to support -r with the same abilities as -R defined by this volume of POSIX.1-2008. The original -r flag, for historic reasons, did not handle special files any differently from regular files, but always read the file and copied its contents. This had obvious problems in the presence of special file types; for example, character devices, FIFOs, and sockets. .... .... Issue 6 The -r option is marked obsolescent. .... Issue 7 .... The obsolescent -r option is removed. .... (No "Issue 8" yet) Therefore it's clear that "cp -R" is strictly better than "cp -r". The issue was discovered when running tests on OS X after 0d87b1caed92. [1]: pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/cp.html

posix: give the cached symlink a real target The NamedTemporaryFile file is cleared up so checklink ends up as a dangling symlink, causing cp -r in tests to complain on both Solaris and OS X. Use a permanent file instead when there is a .hg/cache directory.

shelve: move patch extension to a string constant We are using 'name + ".patch"' pattern throughout the shelve code to identify the existence of a shelve with a particular name. In two cases however we use 'name + ".hg"' instead. This commit makes 'patch' be used in all places and "emphasizes" it by moving 'patch' to live in a constant. Also, this allows to extract file name without extension like this: f[:-(1 + len(patchextension))] instead of: f[:-6] which is good IMO. This is a first patch from this initial "obsshelve" series. This series does not include tests, although locally I have all of test-shelve.t ported to test obs-shelve as well. I will send tests later as a separate series.

Added tag 4.0.1 for changeset b3b1ae98f6a0

i18n-pt_BR: synchronized with 819f96b82fa4

shelve: fix use of unexpected working dirs in test-shelve.t Fixing some clowniness where we created ~four levels of nested repos and once (my test case :( ) did not even cd into a created repo.

crecord: change the verb according to the operation This will make crecord consistent with record when being used in the revert situation. It will say "Select hunks to revert / discard" accordingly. This should make the revert crecord interface less confusing.

crecord: change help text for the space key dynamically A follow-up of the previous patch, to make the text simple and clear about whether it's to "select" or "deselect".

crecord: rewrite status line text (BC) Previously, we display fixed text in the 2-line status header. Now we want to customize some word there to make the "revert" action clear. However, if we simply replace the verb using '%s' like this: "SELECT CHUNKS: (j/k/up/dn/pgup/pgdn) move cursor; " "(space/A) toggle hunk/all; (e)dit hunk;"), " (f)old/unfold; (c)onfirm %s; (q)uit; (?) help " % verb "| [X]=hunk %s **=folded, toggle [a]mend mode" % verb It could cause trouble for i18n - some languages may expect things like "%(verb) confirm", for example. Therefore, this patch chooses to break the hard-coded 2-line sentences into "segment"s which could be translated (and replaced) separately. With the clean-up, I'm also changing the content being displayed, to make it cleaner and more friendly to (new) users, namely: - Replace "SELECT CHUNKS" to "Select hunks to record". Because: - To eliminate "hunk" / "chunk" inconsistency. - "record" is used in the "text" UI. Do not use "apply", to make it consistent. - To make it clear you are choosing what to record, not revert, or discard etc. This is probably the most important information the user should know. So let's put it first. - "to record" could be replaced to others depending on the operation. The follow-up patches will address them. - Move "[x]" and "**" legends first to explain the current interface. New users should understand what the legends mean, followed by what they can do in the interface. - Replace "j/k/up/dn/pgup/pgdn" with "arrow keys". Because: - "arrow keys" is more friendly to new users. - Mentioning "j/k" first may make emacs users angry. We should stay neutral about editors. - "pgup/pgdn" actually don't work very well. For example, within a hunk of 100-line insertion, "pgdn" just moves one single line. - Left/Right arrow keys are useful for movement and discovery of "expanding" a block. - Replace "fold/unfold" with "collapse/expand", "fold" is well known as a different meaning in histedit and evolve. - Replace "(space/A) toggle hunk/all" to "space: select". Because: - "A: toggle all" is not that useful - It's unclear how "hunk" could be "toggled" to a dumb user. Let's make it clear it's all about "select". - A follow-up will make it use "unselect" when we know the current item is selected. - Remove "(f)old". Use arrow keys instead. - Remove "toggle [a]mend mode". It's just confusing and could be useless. - Remove "(e)dit hunk". It's powerful but not friendly to new users. - Replace "(q)uit" to "q: abort" to make it clear you will lose changes. The result looks like the following in a 73-char-width terminal: Select hunks to record - [x]=selected **=collapsed c: confirm q: abort arrow keys: move/expand/collapse space: select ?: help If the terminal is 132-char wide, the text could fit in a single line.
