util: use ~ as a suffix for a temp file in the same directory as a source file Tools like Buck have patterns to ignore the creation of files (in the working copy) that match certain patterns: https://github.com/facebook/buck/blob/39278a4f0701c5239eae148968dc1ed4cc8661f7/src/com/facebook/buck/cli/Main.java#L259-L299 When Buck sees a new source file (as reported by Watchman), it has to invalidate a number of caches associated with the directory that contains the file. Using a standard suffix, such as `~`, would make it easier for Buck and others to filter out these types of file creation events. The other uses of `tempfile.mkstemp()` in Hg do not appear to be problematic because they (generally speaking) do not specify the `dir` parameter, so the new file is created in the system-appropriate temp directory, which is outside the working copy. Test Plan: `make tests` Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D468

HG
Path to the 'hg' executable, automatically passed when running
hooks, extensions or external tools. If unset or empty, this is
the hg executable's name if it's frozen, or an executable named
'hg' (with %PATHEXT% [defaulting to COM/EXE/BAT/CMD] extensions on
Windows) is searched.
HGEDITOR
This is the name of the editor to run when committing. See EDITOR.
(deprecated, see :hg:`help config.ui.editor`)
HGENCODING
This overrides the default locale setting detected by Mercurial.
This setting is used to convert data including usernames,
changeset descriptions, tag names, and branches. This setting can
be overridden with the --encoding command-line option.
HGENCODINGMODE
This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling unknown characters
while transcoding user input. The default is "strict", which
causes Mercurial to abort if it can't map a character. Other
settings include "replace", which replaces unknown characters, and
"ignore", which drops them. This setting can be overridden with
the --encodingmode command-line option.
HGENCODINGAMBIGUOUS
This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling characters with
"ambiguous" widths like accented Latin characters with East Asian
fonts. By default, Mercurial assumes ambiguous characters are
narrow, set this variable to "wide" if such characters cause
formatting problems.
HGMERGE
An executable to use for resolving merge conflicts. The program
will be executed with three arguments: local file, remote file,
ancestor file.
(deprecated, see :hg:`help config.ui.merge`)
HGRCPATH
A list of files or directories to search for configuration
files. Item separator is ":" on Unix, ";" on Windows. If HGRCPATH
is not set, platform default search path is used. If empty, only
the .hg/hgrc from the current repository is read.
For each element in HGRCPATH:
- if it's a directory, all files ending with .rc are added
- otherwise, the file itself will be added
HGPLAIN
When set, this disables any configuration settings that might
change Mercurial's default output. This includes encoding,
defaults, verbose mode, debug mode, quiet mode, tracebacks, and
localization. This can be useful when scripting against Mercurial
in the face of existing user configuration.
Equivalent options set via command line flags or environment
variables are not overridden.
HGPLAINEXCEPT
This is a comma-separated list of features to preserve when
HGPLAIN is enabled. Currently the following values are supported:
``alias``
Don't remove aliases.
``i18n``
Preserve internationalization.
``revsetalias``
Don't remove revset aliases.
``templatealias``
Don't remove template aliases.
``progress``
Don't hide progress output.
Setting HGPLAINEXCEPT to anything (even an empty string) will
enable plain mode.
HGUSER
This is the string used as the author of a commit. If not set,
available values will be considered in this order:
- HGUSER (deprecated)
- configuration files from the HGRCPATH
- EMAIL
- interactive prompt
- LOGNAME (with ``@hostname`` appended)
(deprecated, see :hg:`help config.ui.username`)
EMAIL
May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER.
LOGNAME
May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER.
VISUAL
This is the name of the editor to use when committing. See EDITOR.
EDITOR
Sometimes Mercurial needs to open a text file in an editor for a
user to modify, for example when writing commit messages. The
editor it uses is determined by looking at the environment
variables HGEDITOR, VISUAL and EDITOR, in that order. The first
non-empty one is chosen. If all of them are empty, the editor
defaults to 'vi'.
PYTHONPATH
This is used by Python to find imported modules and may need to be
set appropriately if this Mercurial is not installed system-wide.
