shadow-repos: use safer way to destroy shadow repositories....

shadow-repos: use safer way to destroy shadow repositories. we had reported errors on removal of shadow repos. Not reproduced, however suspecting are filesystem sync/symlink race-conditions on shared storage. End result were existing shadow-repo directories that tricked rhodecode into thinking shadow repos is existing, but infact it was a dummy structure semi-removed. Using shutil.move we ENSURE rhodecode doesn't read those back even if removal fails.

      -----------------

      Release Date

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^

      - 2017-08-12

      New Features

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^

      General

      ^^^^^^^

      - Off cycle Minor release to fix SCM vulnerabilities.

      Security

      ^^^^^^^^

      - security(critical): Bumped GIT to 2.9.5 fixes CVE-2017-1000117

        https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1466490.html

      - security(critical): Bumped SVN to 1.9.7 fixes CVE-2017-9800

        https://subversion.apache.org/security/CVE-2017-9800-advisory.txt

      - security(critical): Bumped Mercurial to 4.2.3 fixes  CVE-2017-1000116

        https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/WhatsNew#Mercurial_4.3_.282017-08-10.29

      Performance

      ^^^^^^^^^^^

      - Fixed Mercurial Stream support for very large repositories. Due to discovered

        bug in WebOb library we manage to fix Mercurial stream support.

        Now cloning very large repos e.g 100GB, ~1mln commits should be much

        faster, and use less memory.

      Fixes

      ^^^^^

      - Fixed problem with default-reviewers in EE package that was missing panel

        title and in some occasions generate 500 errors.

      - Fixed problem with potential URL generation inside our integration.

        This was introduced during pyramid porting. We know ensure that proper

        routing generation is done on all events.

      Upgrade notes

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

      - The 4.9.0 release is an off-cycle release. Due to the fact that we needed to

        bump Mercurial from 4.1.X to 4.2.X, and Subversion from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7, we

        released this version not as 4.8.1 security bug fix but 4.9.0.

        We know historically that SVN and Mercurial can have internal api changes.

        We tested basic functionality for all 3 vcs-es but due to very short release

        time we were unable to test everything. Please report any found problems to us

        and we'll for sure address them.

        Note to SVN users: Please make sure to upgrade mod_dav to 1.9.7 version.

        At this time we know Wandisco provides 1.9.7 packages for most major distros.
