wireprotov2: implement commands as a generator of objects...
wireprotov2: implement commands as a generator of objects Previously, wire protocol version 2 inherited version 1's model of having separate types to represent the results of different wire protocol commands. As I implemented more powerful commands in future commits, I found I was using a common pattern of returning a special type to hold a generator. This meant the command function required a closure to do most of the work. That made logic flow more difficult to follow. I also noticed that many commands were effectively a sequence of objects to be CBOR encoded. I think it makes sense to define version 2 commands as generators. This way, commands can simply emit the data structures they wish to send to the client. This eliminates the need for a closure in command functions and removes encoding from the bodies of commands. As part of this commit, the handling of response objects has been moved into the serverreactor class. This puts the reactor in the driver's seat with regards to CBOR encoding and error handling. Having error handling in the function that emits frames is particularly important because exceptions in that function can lead to things getting in a bad state: I'm fairly certain that uncaught exceptions in the frame generator were causing deadlocks. I also introduced a dedicated error type for explicit error reporting in command handlers. This will be used in subsequent commits. There's still a bit of work to be done here, especially around formalizing the error handling "protocol." I've added yet another TODO to track this so we don't forget. Test output changed because we're using generators and no longer know we are at the end of the data until we hit the end of the generator. This means we can't emit the end-of-stream flag until we've exhausted the generator. Hence the introduction of 0-sized end-of-stream frames.

Mercurial supports a functional language for selecting a set of
files.
Like other file patterns, this pattern type is indicated by a prefix,
'set:'. The language supports a number of predicates which are joined
by infix operators. Parenthesis can be used for grouping.
Identifiers such as filenames or patterns must be quoted with single
or double quotes if they contain characters outside of
``[.*{}[]?/\_a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]`` or if they match one of the
predefined predicates. This generally applies to file patterns other
than globs and arguments for predicates. Pattern prefixes such as
``path:`` may be specified without quoting.
Special characters can be used in quoted identifiers by escaping them,
e.g., ``\n`` is interpreted as a newline. To prevent them from being
interpreted, strings can be prefixed with ``r``, e.g. ``r'...'``.
See also :hg:`help patterns`.
Operators
=========
There is a single prefix operator:
``not x``
Files not in x. Short form is ``! x``.
These are the supported infix operators:
``x and y``
The intersection of files in x and y. Short form is ``x & y``.
``x or y``
The union of files in x and y. There are two alternative short
forms: ``x | y`` and ``x + y``.
``x - y``
Files in x but not in y.
Predicates
==========
The following predicates are supported:
.. predicatesmarker
Examples
========
Some sample queries:
- Show status of files that appear to be binary in the working directory::
hg status -A "set:binary()"
- Forget files that are in .hgignore but are already tracked::
hg forget "set:hgignore() and not ignored()"
- Find text files that contain a string::
hg files "set:grep(magic) and not binary()"
- Find C files in a non-standard encoding::
hg files "set:**.c and not encoding('UTF-8')"
- Revert copies of large binary files::
hg revert "set:copied() and binary() and size('>1M')"
- Revert files that were added to the working directory::
hg revert "set:revs('wdir()', added())"
- Remove files listed in foo.lst that contain the letter a or b::
hg remove "set: listfile:foo.lst and (**a* or **b*)"
