verify: replace _validpath() by matcher...
verify: replace _validpath() by matcher The verifier calls out to _validpath() to check if it should verify that path and the narrowhg extension overrides _validpath() to tell the verifier to skip that path. In treemanifest repos, the verifier calls the same method to check if it should visit a directory. However, the decision to visit a directory is different from the condition that it's a matching path, and narrowhg was working around it by returning True from its _validpath() override if *either* was true. Similar to how one can do "hg files -I foo/bar/ -X foo/" (making the include pointless), narrowhg can be configured to track the same paths. In that case match("foo/bar/baz") would be false, but match.visitdir("foo/bar/baz") turns out to be true, causing verify to fail. This may seem like a bug in visitdir(), but it's explicitly documented to be undefined for subdirectories of excluded directories. When using treemanifests, the walk would not descend into foo/, so verification would pass. However, when using flat manifests, there is no recursive directory walk and the file path "foo/bar/baz" would be passed to _validpath() without "foo/" (actually without the slash) being passed first. As explained above, _validpath() would return true for the file path and "hg verify" would fail. Replacing the _validpath() method by a matcher seems like the obvious fix. Narrowhg can then pass in its own matcher and not have to conflate the two matching functions (for dirs and files). I think it also makes the code clearer.

Mercurial for Plan 9 from Bell Labs
===================================

This directory contains support for Mercurial on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
platforms. It is assumed that the version of Python running on these
systems supports the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). At the time of this
writing, the bichued/python port is the most commonly installed version
of Python on these platforms. If a native port of Python is ever made,
some minor modification will need to be made to support some of the more
esoteric requirements of the platform rather than those currently made
(cf. posix.py).

By default, installations will have the factotum extension enabled; this
extension permits factotum(4) to act as an authentication agent for
HTTP repositories. Additionally, an extdiff command named 9diff is
enabled which generates diff(1) compatible output suitable for use with
the plumber(4).

Commit messages are plumbed using E if no editor is defined; users must
update the plumbed file to continue, otherwise the hg process must be
interrupted.

Some work remains with regard to documentation. Section 5 manual page
references for hgignore and hgrc need to be re-numbered to section 6 (file
formats) and a new man page writer should be written to support the
Plan 9 man macro set. Until these issues can be resolved, manual pages
are elided from the installation.

Basic install:

% mk install # do a system-wide install
% hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
% hg # see help

A proto(2) file is included in this directory as an example of how a
binary distribution could be packaged, ostensibly with contrib(1).

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
