localrepo: automatically load lfs extension when required (BC)...
localrepo: automatically load lfs extension when required (BC) If an unrecognized requirement is present (possibly due to an unloaded extension), the user will get an error message telling them to go to https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MissingRequirement for more info. And some requirements clearly map to known extensions shipped by Mercurial. This commit teaches repository loading to automatically map requirements to extensions. We implement support for loading the lfs extension when the "lfs" requirement is present. This behavior feels more user-friendly to me and I'm having trouble coming up with a compelling reason to not do it. The strongest argument I have against is that - strictly speaking - requirements are general repository features and there could be N providers of that feature. e.g. in the case of LFS, there could be another extension implementing LFS support. And the user would want to use this non-official extension rather than the built-in one. The way this patch implements things, the non-official extension could be missing and Mercurial would load the official lfs extension, leading to unexpected behavior. But this feels like a highly marginal use case to me and doesn't outweigh the user benefit of "it just works." If someone really wanted to e.g. use a custom LFS extension, they could prevent the built-in one from being loaded by either defining "extensions.lfs=/path/to/custom/extension" or "extensions.lfs=!", as the automatic extension loading only occurs if there is no config entry for that extension.

Integration with the share extension needs improvement. Right now we've seen some odd bugs, and the way we modify the contents of the .hg/shared file is unfortunate. See wrappostshare() and unsharenarrowspec().

Resolve commentary on narrowrepo.wraprepo.narrowrepository.status about the filtering of status being done at an awkward layer. This came up the import to hgext, but nobody's got concrete improvement ideas as of then.

Address commentary in manifest.excludedmanifestrevlog.add - specifically we should improve the collaboration with core so that add() never gets called on an excluded directory and we can improve the stand-in to raise a ProgrammingError.

Reason more completely about rename-filtering logic in narrowfilelog. There could be some surprises lurking there.

Formally document the narrowspec format. Unify with sparse, if at all possible. For bonus points, unify with the server-specified narrowspec format.

narrowrepo.setnarrowpats() or narrowspec.save() need to make sure they're holding the wlock.
