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.

WiX installer source files
==========================

The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files
are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In
other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is
the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.

The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
contrib/win32 folder, the contents of which have been historically used
to create an InnoSetup based installer. The rest of the files there are
ignored.

The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may
still be useful to some users.

To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer
prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
they are more specific.
