help: explain how to access subtopics in internals

log: document the characters ---graph uses to draw The meaning of : vs | was undocumented and non-obvious.

tests: demonstrate that pager.attend-<abbreviated> doesn't work A pager.attend-* value that isn't a full command or alias name doesn't work. We add explicit test coverage of this to demonstrate it.

tests: test that abbreviated command alias is also paged Explicit test coverage is good.

tests: drop unnecessary pager attend in test `log` is attended by default. We don't need to specify pager.attend-log in this test.

hgweb: change text of followlines links to "older / newer" DAG directions "descending" / "ascending" arguably do not make much sense in the web interface where changes are usually listed by "dates".

hgweb: do not show "descending" link in followlines UI for filelog heads When on a filelog head, we are certain that there will be no descendant so the target of the "descending" link will lead to an empty log result. Do not display the link in this case.

context: optimize linkrev adjustment in blockancestors() (issue5538) We set parent._descendantrev = child.rev() when walking parents in blockancestors() so that, when linkrev adjustment is perform for these, it starts from a close descendant instead of possibly topmost introrev. (See `self._adjustlinkrev(self._descendantrev)` in filectx._changeid().) This is similar to changeset c82d88dfaf59, which added a "f._changeid" instruction in annotate() for the same purpose. However, here, we set _descendantrev explicitly instead of relying on the '_changeid' cached property being accessed (with effect to set _changeid attribute) so that, in _parentfilectx() (called from parents()), we go through `if '_changeid' in vars(self) [...]` branch in which instruction `fctx._descendantrev = self.rev()` finally appears and does what we want. With this, we can roughly get a 3x speedup (including in example of issue5538 from mozilla-central repository) on usage of followlines revset (and equivalent hgweb request).

record: update help message to use operation instead of "record" (issue5432) Update the hunk selector help message to use the operation name instead of using "record" for all operations. Extract the help message in the same way as other single and multiple message line. Update tests to make sure that both "revert" and "discard" variants are tested.

tests: add lots of regex matching to test-http-bad-server.t This makes the test pass in Python 2.6. It's all one of two problems: 1) abort: error: '' (2.7) vs abort: error: (2.6) 2) 65537 (2.7) vs -1 (2.6) With some...unfortunate escaping required due to how regular expressions work. Sigh.

tests: pass only one file at a time to tail(1) It looks like the verison on Solaris only tails one file at a time.

debian: configure editor and pager to sensible-\1 by default Now that environment variables override system-wide hgrc settings, we can default Mercurial to sensible-editor and sensible-pager by default for debian users.

tests: work around flaky test failure on FreeBSD and relatives test-http-bad-server has a flaky output case that reproduces fairly often (20% or more of runs on my Mac) on BSD-family OSes. So that tests can be green for the 4.2 release, let's more or less give up on this output, and plan to pursue it in the future.

context: start walking from "introrev" in blockancestors() Previously, calling blockancestors() with a fctx not touching file would sometimes yield this filectx first, instead of the first "block ancestor", because when compared to its parent it may have changes in specified line range despite not touching the file at all. Fixing this by starting the algorithm from the "base" filectx obtained using fctx.introrev() (as done in annotate()). In tests, add a changeset not touching file we want to follow lines of to cover this case. Do this in test-annotate.t for followlines revset tests and in test-hgweb-filelog.t for /log/<rev>/<file>?linerange=<from>:<to> tests.

sshpeer: try harder to snag stderr when stdout closes unexpectedly Resolves test failures on FreeBSD, but I'm not happy about the fix. A previous version of this also wrapped readline by putting the hack in the _call method on doublepipe. That was confusing for readers and wasn't necessary - just doing this on read() is sufficient to fix the bugs I'm observing. We can always come back and do readline later if needed.

test-worker: disable tests of forked workers on Windows The number of the "Traceback" lines differs on Windows because the main process does not raise SystemExit.

test-profile: allow negative time in JSON output (issue5542) I don't know why it can be a negative number, but that shouldn't be important here.

show: add basic labels to work template `hg show work` is much more usable if output is colored. This patch implements coloring via label() in a very hacky way. In a default Mercurial install, you'll see yellow node labels for all phases. Branches and bookmarks use the same formatting as the commit message. So this change doesn't help much in a default install. But if you have a custom colors defined for these things, output is much more readable. The implementation obviously needs some work. But for a minor change on a feature that isn't convered by BC, this seems like a clear win for the feature in 4.2.

show: rename "underway" to "work" Durham and I both like this better than "underway." We can add aliases and bikeshed on the name during the 4.3 cycle, as this whole extension is highly experimental.

histedit: make check for unresolved conflicts explicit (issue5545) Previously, we'd rely on the implicit check that `localrepo.commit` did. The problem is that that check only happened when the working copy was dirty. With a "clean" working copy but unresolved conflicts we'd get into a broken state. To fix that, do what rebase does and check for unresolved conflicts at the start of histedit --continue.
