hgweb: make viewing of non-text work in hgweb We use mimetypes.guess_type to guess file types and util.binary to determine whether a file is displayable as text. This lets us display displayable text files in our normal source view. Files that appear to be binary will be displayed as something like "(binary:image/gif)". Clicking on raw view will send the raw file with an appropriate MIME type. Thus things like GIFs will now be viewable inside hgweb without making a mess. Further, things like postscript files that are text should show source in the normal view and a browser can launch a postscript viewer for the raw view.

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 "0 0"

- diff will show the current time

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