discovery: change users of `outgoing.missingheads` to `outgoing.ancestorsof` The attribute `missingheads` was recently renamed to `ancestorsof`, as it, despite the old name, doesn’t contain the missing heads but the changesets that were requested (including ancestors) for the outgoing operation. Changing all the users enables to print a warning if the old name is used. There is a good chance that some of the users are buggy because of the old name. Changing them to use the new name makes it more obvious that they are buggy. All users need to be reviewed for bugs. When sending patches for fixing them, the change will be more obvious without having to explain again and again the discrepancy of the old attribute name and what it actually contained.

discovery: fix docstring of `outgoing` class Also, introduce a more correct name `ancestorsof` for what was named `missingheads` before. For now, we just forward `ancestorsof` to `missingheads` until all users are changed. There were some mistakes in the old docstring / name: * `missingheads` (new name: `ancestorsof`) contains the revs whose ancestors are included in the outgoing operation. It may contain non-head revs and revs which are already on the remote, so the name "missingheads" is wrong in two ways. * `missing` contains only ancestors of `missingheads`, so not *all nodes* present in local but not in remote. * `common` might not contain all common revs, e.g. not some that are not an ancestor of `missingheads`. It seems like the misleading name have fostered an actual bug (issue6372), where `outgoing.missingheads` was used assuming that it contains the heads of the missing changesets.

discovery: weaken claim about returned common heads if ancestorsof are given As the test case shows, the claim is not true in general.

status: match category text in the option description The ! category in the main status help text is defined as "missing", so use the same text for the help text of --delete. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8759

purge: classify as a "working directory management" command in help It seems to me that `hg purge` is clearly a "working directory management" command and not a "repository management" command. The working copy is all that's affected, after all; the repo is not affected at all. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8757

extensions: make `hg help extensions` list disabled extensions with PyOxidizer `setup.py` has a mechanism for generating a list of bundled extensions and their documenation and putting it in a `hgext/__index__.py` file. That file is then read from `extensions.py`, which makes `hg help extensions` work in py2exe binaries. This patch makes it so `setup.py` produces the `hgext/__index__.py` file also when called by PyOxidizer. Thanks to Matt Harbison for pointing out the existence of `__index__.py`!

phases: sparsify phaseroots and phasesets As final step of dealing with the holes in the phase numbers, make phaseroots and phasesets both dictionaries indexed by the phase number. Further adjust the interface of the C module by pushing the node to revision mapping down as it is cheaper on the C side to deal with revision numbers. Overall, the patch series improves a no-change "hg up" for my NetBSD test repository from 4.7s to 1.3s. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8698

extdiff: add comments and minor variable renames diffpatch() Some variable names were now confusing as we refactored the code in a separate function. For example, `node1a` leads to ideas why `1a` and not `1`. The variable storing path to patch file was named as `dirX` instead of `fileX`. Renamed these variables and added couple of comments.

absorb: make it explicit if empty changeset was created If the config rewrite.empty-successor=skip is set, a message "became empty and was dropped" is shown if the changeset became empty. If the config rewrite.empty-successor=keep is set, absorb may create changesets even if they became empty. It’s probably a good idea to make that explicit. Therefore the message is changed to be a combination of both: "became empty and became ...". Repeating the word "became" is not very elegant. This results from the fact that "became" was and is overloaded to indicate both the change from non-empty to empty and the successor relation. In the combinated message, both meanings are used in one sentence.

absorb: consider rewrite.empty-successor configuration This adds support for the recently added rewrite.empty-successor configuration.

rebase: consider rewrite.empty-successor configuration This adds support for the recently added rewrite.empty-successor configuration.

rewriteutil: add utility to check whether empty successors should be skipped

config: add option to control creation of empty successors during rewrite The default for many history-rewriting commands (e.g. rebase and absorb) is that changesets which would become empty are not created in the target branch. This makes sense if the source branch consists of small fix-up changes. For more advanced workflows that make heavy use of history-editing to create curated patch series, dropping empty changesets is not as important or even undesirable. Some users want to keep the meta-history, e.g. to make finding comments in a code review tool easier or to avoid that divergent bookmarks are created. For that, obsmarkers from the (to-be) empty changeset to the changeset(s) that already made the changes should be added. If a to-be empty changeset is pruned without a successor, adding the obsmarkers is hard because the changeset has to be found within the hidden part of the history. If rebasing in TortoiseHg, it’s easy to miss the fact that the to-be empty changeset was pruned. An empty changeset will function as a reminder that obsmarkers should be added. Martin von Zweigbergk mentioned another advantage. Stripping the successor will de-obsolete the predecessor. If no (empty) successor is created, this won’t be possible. In the future, we may want to consider other behaviors, like e.g. creating the empty successor, but pruning it right away. Therefore this configuration accepts 'skip' and 'keep' instead of being a boolean configuration.

commands: use any() instead of `if a or b or c` Small cleanup for future when we have an option to show configs from shared rc. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8658

manifest: use the same logic for handling flags in _parse as elsewhere Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8684

manifest: tigher manifest parsing and flag use In the manifest line, flags are put directly after the hash, so the parser has been guessing the presence of flags based on the length of the hash. Replace this assumption by an enumeration of the valid flags and removing them from the hash first as they are distinct input values. Consistently handle the expected 256bit length of the SHA1-replacement in the pure Python parser. Check that setting flags will use one of the blessed values. Extend write logic in the C version to handle 256bit hashes as well. Verify that hashes always have exactly the expected length. Since 1070df141718 we should no longer depend on the old extra-byte hack. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8679

phases: sparsify phase lists When the internal and archived phase was added, allphase became a large, sparsely populated list. This dramatically increased the number of lookup operations for public relations in `phasecache.phase`. As a first step, define allphases and related lists explicitly to contain only the actual phases. Make phasenames a dictionary and create corresponding dictionaries for mapping phase names back to numbers. Adjust various list to be sparse as well with the exception of phaseroots and phasesets members of phasecache. Keep those as a separate step as it involves changes to the C module.

hg-core: define a `dirstate_status` `Operation` This is 3/3 in a series of patches to improve dirstate status' code. Following in the footsteps of a46e36b82461, we move the main status functionality to an `Operation`. This will most likely be subject to change in the future (what function signature, what parameters, etc., but we will see when `rhg` gets `hg status` support.
