cmdutil: add class to restore dirstate during unexpected failure Before this patch, after "dirstate.write()" execution, there was no way to restore dirstate to the original status before "dirstate.write()". In some code paths, "dirstate.invalidate()" is used as a kind of "restore .hg/dirstate to the original status", but it just avoids writing changes in memory out, and doesn't actually restore the ".hg/dirstate" file. To fix the issue that the recent (in memory) dirstate isn't visible to external processes (e.g. "precommit" hooks), "dirstate.write()" should be invoked before invocation of external processes. But at the same time, ".hg/dirstate" should be restored to its content before "dirstate.write()" during an unexpected failure in some cases. This patch adds the class "dirstateguard" to easily restore ".hg/dirstate" during unexpected failures. Typical usecase of it is: # (1) build dirstate up .... # (2) write dirstate out, and backup ".hg/dirstate" dsguard = dirstateguard(repo, 'scopename') try: # (3) execute somethig to do: # this may imply making some additional changes on dirstate .... # (4) unlink backed-up dirstate file at the end of dsguard scope dsguard.close() finally: # (5) if execution is aborted before "dsguard.close()", # ".hg/dirstate" is restored from the backup dsguard.release() For this kind of issue, an "extending transaction" approach (in https://titanpad.com/mercurial32-sprint) seems to not be suitable, because: - transaction nesting occurs in some cases (e.g. "shelve => rebase"), and - "dirstate" may be already modified since the beginning of OUTER transaction scope, then - dirstate should be backed up into the file other than "dirstate.journal" at the beginning of INNER transaction scope, but - such alternative backup files are useless for transaction itself, and increases complication of its implementation "transaction" and "dirstateguard" differ from each other also in "what it should do for .hg/dirstate" in cases other than success. ============== ======= ======== ============= type success fail "hg rollback" ============== ======= ======== ============= transaction keep keep restore dirstateguard keep restore (not implied) ============== ======= ======== ============= Some collaboration between transaction and dirstate will probably be introduced in the future. But this layer is needed in all cases.

Mercurial for Windows



Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!




Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a<br /> href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW shell).




Note: the standard http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW
msys startup script uses rxvt which has problems setting up
standard input and output. Running bash directly works
correctly.




For documentation, please visit the <a<br /> href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/">Mercurial web site.
You can also download a free book, <a<br /> href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial: The Definitive
Guide.




By default, Mercurial installs to C:\Program
Files\Mercurial
. The Mercurial command is called
hg.exe.



Testing Mercurial after you've installed it




The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is
to just type the following at the command prompt:




hg



This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.



Configuration notes


Default editor



The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set
the EDITOR (or HGEDITOR) environment variable
to specify your preference or set it in mercurial.ini:



[ui]
editor = whatever


Configuring a Merge program



It should be emphasized that Mercurial by itself doesn't attempt
to do a Merge at the file level, neither does it make any
attempt to Resolve the conflicts.




By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the
HGMERGE environment variable, or uses the one defined
in the mercurial.ini file. (see <a<br /> href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MergeProgram">MergeProgram
on the Mercurial Wiki for more information)



Reporting problems




Before you report any problems, please consult the <a<br /> href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/">Mercurial web site
and see if your question is already in our list of <a<br /> href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/FAQ">Frequently
Answered Questions (the "FAQ").




If you cannot find an answer to your question, please feel free
to send mail to the Mercurial mailing list, at <a<br /> href="mailto:mercurial@selenic.com">mercurial@selenic.com.
Remember, the more useful information you include in your
report, the easier it will be for us to help you!




If you are IRC-savvy, that's usually the fastest way to get
help. Go to #mercurial on irc.freenode.net.
