debugmergestate: make templated Our IntelliJ team wants to be able to read the merge state in order to help the user resolve merge conflicts. They had so far been reading file contents from p1() and p2() and their merge base. That is not ideal for several reasons (merge base is not necessarily the "graft base", renames are not handled, commands like `hg update -m` is not handled). It will get especially bad as of my D7827. This patch makes the output s a templated. I haven't bothered to make it complete (e.g. merge driver states are not handled), but it's probably good enough as a start. I've done a web search for "debugmergestate" and I can't find any indication that any tools currently rely on its output. If it turns out that we get bug reports for it once this is released, I won't object to backing this patch out on the stable branch (and then perhaps replace it by a separate command, or put it behind a new flag).

Mercurial Rust Code

This directory contains various Rust code for the Mercurial project. Rust is not required to use (or build) Mercurial, but using it improves performance in some areas.

There are currently three independent rust projects: - chg. An implementation of chg, in rust instead of C. - hgcli. A experiment for starting hg in rust rather than in python,

by linking with the python runtime. Probably meant to be replaced by PyOxidizer at some point.
  • hg-core (and hg-cpython/hg-directffi): implementation of some functionality of mercurial in rust, e.g. ancestry computations in revision graphs or pull discovery. The top-level Cargo.toml file defines a workspace containing these crates.

Using hg-core

Local use (you need to clean previous build artifacts if you have built without rust previously):

$ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make local # to use ./hg
$ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make tests # to run all tests
$ (cd tests; HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython ./run-tests.py) # only the .t
$ ./hg debuginstall | grep rust # to validate rust is in use
checking module policy (rust+c-allow)

Setting HGWITHRUSTEXT to other values like true is deprecated and enables only a fraction of the rust code.

Developing hg-core

Simply run:

$ cargo build --release

It is possible to build without --release, but it is not recommended if performance is of any interest: there can be an order of magnitude of degradation when removing --release.

For faster builds, you may want to skip code generation:

$ cargo check

You can run only the rust-specific tests (as opposed to tests of mercurial as a whole) with:

$ cargo test --all
