wireproto: support disabling bundle1 only if repo is generaldelta...
wireproto: support disabling bundle1 only if repo is generaldelta I recently implemented the server.bundle1* options to control whether bundle1 exchange is allowed. After thinking about Mozilla's strategy for handling generaldelta rollout a bit more, I think server operators need an additional lever: disable bundle1 if and only if the repo is generaldelta. bundle1 exchange for non-generaldelta repos will not have the potential for CPU explosion that generaldelta repos do. Therefore, it makes sense for server operators to continue to allow bundle1 exchange for non-generaldelta repos without having to set a per-repo hgrc option to change the policy depending on whether the repo is generaldelta. This patch introduces a new set of options to control bundle1 behavior for generaldelta repos. These options enable server operators to limit bundle1 restrictions to the class of repos that can be performance issues. It also allows server operators to tie bundle1 access to store format. In many server environments (including Mozilla's), legacy repos will not be generaldelta and new repos will or might be. New repos often aren't bound by legacy access requirements, so setting a global policy that disallows access to new/generaldelta repos via bundle1 could be a reasonable policy in many server environments. This patch makes this policy very easy to implement (modify global hgrc, add options to existing generaldelta repos to grandfather them in).

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
