[PATCH] Force "hg clone" to always create a new directory -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [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 manifest hash: f21ed8f805a60c1326d99220772e1574b0870d6c -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCwxsIywK+sNU5EO8RAgooAKC3IL6vKyADb9s2qqqi4GMw2Z7asACbBtE/ TvPgwGtIiB2GC+N+V7r1VpI= =uTcK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

A simple testing framework

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
./run-tests

This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes
them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is
run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.

A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output
matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in
test-<x>.err.

There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when
writing tests:

- hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction

  for commit use -t "text"
  for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)

- changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make
  things like hg history output change

  use commit -t "test" -u test -d "0 0"

- diff will show the current time

  use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\).*\)\t.*/\1/" to strip dates

- set -x and pipelines don't generate stable output

  turn off set -x or break pipelines into pieces
