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 supports a functional language for selecting a set of
files.
Like other file patterns, this pattern type is indicated by a prefix,
'set:'. The language supports a number of predicates which are joined
by infix operators. Parenthesis can be used for grouping.
Identifiers such as filenames or patterns must be quoted with single
or double quotes if they contain characters outside of
``[.*{}[]?/\_a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]`` or if they match one of the
predefined predicates. This generally applies to file patterns other
than globs and arguments for predicates.
Special characters can be used in quoted identifiers by escaping them,
e.g., ``\n`` is interpreted as a newline. To prevent them from being
interpreted, strings can be prefixed with ``r``, e.g. ``r'...'``.
There is a single prefix operator:
``not x``
Files not in x. Short form is ``! x``.
These are the supported infix operators:
``x and y``
The intersection of files in x and y. Short form is ``x & y``.
``x or y``
The union of files in x and y. There are two alternative short
forms: ``x | y`` and ``x + y``.
``x - y``
Files in x but not in y.
The following predicates are supported:
.. predicatesmarker
Some sample queries:
- Show status of files that appear to be binary in the working directory::
hg status -A "set:binary()"
- Forget files that are in .hgignore but are already tracked::
hg forget "set:hgignore() and not ignored()"
- Find text files that contain a string::
hg files "set:grep(magic) and not binary()"
- Find C files in a non-standard encoding::
hg files "set:**.c and not encoding('UTF-8')"
- Revert copies of large binary files::
hg revert "set:copied() and binary() and size('>1M')"
- Remove files listed in foo.lst that contain the letter a or b::
hg remove "set: 'listfile:foo.lst' and (**a* or **b*)"
