extend network protocol to stop clients from locking servers
now all repositories have capabilities slot, tuple with list of names.
if 'unbundle' capability present, repo supports push where client does
not need to lock server. repository classes that have unbundle capability
also have unbundle method.
implemented for ssh now, will be base for push over http.
unbundle protocol acts this way. server tells client what heads it
has during normal negotiate step. client starts unbundle by repeat
server's heads back to it. if server has new heads, abort immediately.
otherwise, transfer changes to server. once data transferred, server
locks and checks heads again. if heads same, changes can be added.
else someone else added heads, and server aborts.
if client wants to force server to add heads, sends special heads list of
'force'.
A simple testing framework
To run the tests, do:
cd tests/
python run-tests.py
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 merge want user interaction
for commit use -m "text"
for hg merge, 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
