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.
