reverse sense of return value from python hooks.
old scheme (False/None/0/'' == fail) made coding style
unnatural, did not allow use of mercurial commands as hooks.
new scheme (False/None/0 == pass) is pythonic, does not require peculiar
"return True" at ends of hooks, allows hooks like this:
[hooks]
# update working dir after push into this repo
changegroup.update = python:mercurial.commands.update
#!/bin/sh
echo '# basic operation'
hg init basic
cd basic
echo a > a
hg commit -d '0 0' -A -m a
echo b >> a
hg commit -d '1 0' -m b
hg backout -d '2 0' tip
cat a
echo '# file that was removed is recreated'
cd ..
hg init remove
cd remove
echo content > a
hg commit -d '0 0' -A -m a
hg rm a
hg commit -d '1 0' -m b
hg backout -d '2 0' --merge tip
cat a
echo '# backout of backout is as if nothing happened'
hg backout -d '3 0' --merge tip
cat a 2>/dev/null || echo cat: a: No such file or directory
echo '# backout with merge'
cd ..
hg init merge
cd merge
echo line 1 > a
hg commit -d '0 0' -A -m a
echo line 2 >> a
hg commit -d '1 0' -m b
echo line 3 >> a
hg commit -d '2 0' -m c
hg backout --merge -d '3 0' 1
hg commit -d '4 0' -m d
cat a
exit 0
