update: allow update to existing branches with invalid names (
issue3710)
Starting with
361ab1e2086f, users are no longer able to update a
working copy to a branch named with a "bad" character (such as ':').
Prior to v2.4, it was possible to create branch names using "bad"
characters, so this breaks backwards compatibility.
Mercurial must allow users to update to existing branches with bad
names. However, it should continue to prevent the creation of new
branches with bad names.
A test was added to confirm that 'hg update' works as expected. The
test uses a bundled repo that was created with an earlier version of
Mercurial.
commit: increase perf by building a new addlist instead of editing the old one
When commiting to a repo with lots of files (>170000),
manifest.py:addlistdelta takes some time because it's editing a large
array many times. Changing it to build a new array instead of editing
the old one saves around 0.04 seconds on a 1.64 second commit. A 2.5%
gain.
The gain here is pretty minor, but it was blatantly at the top of the
profiler report and the fix is straight forward.
I tested it by comparing the arrays produced by the new and old logic
while running all of the tests.
template engine: convert generator-based iterator to list-based iterator
If a template iterator is implemented with generator, the iterator is exhau=
sted
after we use it. This leads to undesired behavior in template. This chang=
e
converts a generator-based iterator to list-based iterator when template en=
gine
first detects a generator-based iterator. All future usages of iterator wi=

use list instead.
command: remove phase from the list of basic command
This is not a basic command. There is no reason new user should needs to know
about it. Thanks to Matt Mackall for pointing this.
