wireproto: support /api/* URL space for exposing APIs...
wireproto: support /api/* URL space for exposing APIs I will soon be introducing a new version of the HTTP wire protocol. One of the things I want to change with it is the URL routing. I want to rely on URL paths to define endpoints rather than the "cmd" query string argument. That should be pretty straightforward. I was thinking about what URL space to reserve for the new protocol. We /could/ put everything at a top-level path. e.g. /wireproto/* or /http-v2-wireproto/*. However, these constrain us a bit because they assume there will only be 1 API: version 2 of the HTTP wire protocol. I think there is room to grow multiple APIs. For example, there may someday be a proper JSON API to query or even manipulate the repository. And I don't think we should have to create a new top-level URL space for each API nor should we attempt to shoehorn each future API into the same shared URL space: that would just be too chaotic. This commits reserves the /api/* URL space for all our future API needs. Essentially, all requests to /api/* get routed to a new WSGI handler. By default, it 404's the entire URL space unless the "api server" feature is enabled. When enabled, requests to "/api" list available APIs. URLs of the form /api/<name>/* are reserved for a particular named API. Behavior within each API is left up to that API. So, we can grow new APIs easily without worrying about URL space conflicts. APIs can be registered by adding entries to a global dict. This allows extensions to provide their own APIs should they choose to do so. This is probably a premature feature. But IMO the code is easier to read if we're not dealing with API-specific behavior like config option querying inline. To prove it works, we implement a very basic API for version 2 of the HTTP wire protocol. It does nothing of value except facilitate testing of the /api/* URL space. We currently emit plain text responses for all /api/* endpoints. There's definitely room to look at Accept and other request headers to vary the response format. But we have to start somewhere.

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*)"
