Make hg update more verbose by default (issue12) (including small changes to revert and backout to not show these stats with the exception of backout --merge) Show update stats (unless -q), e.g.: K files updated, L files merged, M files removed, N files unresolved Inform the user what to do after a merge: (branch merge, don't forget to commit) Inform the user what to do if a branch merge failed: There are unresolved merges, you can redo the full merge using: hg update -C X hg merge Y Inform the user what to do if a working directory merge failed: There are unresolved merges with locally modified files.

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 -m "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 -m "test" -u test -d "1000000 0"

- diff will show the current time

  use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\) [a-zA-Z0-9_/.-]*\).*/\1/" to strip
  dates
