[PATCH] Force "hg clone" to always create a new directory
From: Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com>
I just screwed myself by typing "hg clone foo" without specifying a
destination directory, and after I was done mopping up the mess,
concluded that this is a dangerous mode of operation that has no
practical value.
I've thus modified the clone command so that it always creates a
destination directory. If none is specified, the destination is taken
as the basename of the source.
hg clone foo
-> error, because foo already exists
hg clone http://www.selenic.com/hg
-> new repo, named hg
hg clone ../bar
-> new repo, named bar

|---|---|
| 331 | 1 A simple testing framework |
| 2 | |
| 332 | 3 To run the tests, do: |
| 4 | |
| 5 cd tests/ | |
| 6 ./run-tests | |
| 7 | |
| 331 | 8 This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes |
| 9 them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is | |
| 10 run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output | |
| 13 matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in | |
| 14 test-<x>.err. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when | |
| 17 writing tests: | |
| 18 | |
| 19 - hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction | |
| 20 | |
| 21 for commit use -t "text" | |
| 22 for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge) | |
| 23 | |
| 24 - changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make | |
| 25 things like hg history output change | |
| 26 | |
| 27 use commit -t "test" -u test -d "0 0" | |
| 28 | |
| 29 - diff will show the current time | |
| 30 | |
| 31 use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\).*\)\t.*/\1/" to strip dates | |
| 32 | |
| 332 | 33 - set -x and pipelines don't generate stable output |
| 34 | |
| 35 turn off set -x or break pipelines into pieces | |
| 36 |
