windows: add a method to convert Unix style command lines to Windows style...
windows: add a method to convert Unix style command lines to Windows style This started as a copy/paste of `os.path.expandvars()`, but limited to a given dictionary of variables, converting `foo = foo + bar` to `foo += bar`, and adding 'b' string prefixes. Then code was added to make sure that a value being substituted in wouldn't itself be expanded by cmd.exe. But that left inconsistent results between `$var1` and `%var1%` when its value was '%foo%'- since neither were touched, `$var1` wouldn't expand but `%var1%` would. So instead, this just converts the Unix style to Windows style (if the variable exists, because Windows will leave `%missing%` as-is), and lets cmd.exe do its thing. I then dropped the %% -> % conversion (because Windows doesn't do this), and added the ability to escape the '$' with '\'. The escape character is dropped, for consistency with shell handling. After everything seemed stable and working, running the whole test suite flagged a problem near the end of test-bookmarks.t:1069. The problem is cmd.exe won't pass empty variables to its child, so defined but empty variables are now skipped. I can't think of anything better, and it seems like a pre-existing violation of the documentation, which calls out that HG_OLDNODE is empty on bookmark creation. Future additions could potentially be replacing strong quotes with double quotes (cmd.exe doesn't know what to do with the former), escaping a double quote, and some tilde expansion via os.path.expanduser(). I've got some doubts about replacing the strong quotes in case sh.exe is run, but it seems like the right thing to do the vast majority of the time. The original form of this was discussed about a year ago[1]. [1] https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2017-July/100735.html

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.

Fold most (or preferably all) of narrowrevlog.py into core.

Address commentary in narrowrevlog.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.

Figure out how to correctly produce narrowmanifestrevlog and narrowfilelog instances instead of monkeypatching regular revlogs at runtime to our subclass. Even better, merge the narrowing logic directly into core.

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.

Implement a simple version of the expandnarrow wireproto command for core. Having configurable shorthands for narrowspecs has been useful at Google (and sparse has a similar feature from Facebook), so it probably makes sense to implement the feature in core. (Google's handler is entirely custom to Google, with a custom format related to bazel's build language, so it's not in the narrowhg distribution.)
