debugfs: display the tested path and mount point of the filesystem, if known While implementing win32.getfstype(), I noticed that MSYS path mangling is getting in the way. Given a path \\host\share\dir: - If strong quoted, hg receives it unchanged, and it works as expected - If double quoted, it converts to \host\share\dir - If unquoted, it converts to \hostsharedir The second and third cases are problematic because those are valid paths relative to the current drive letter, so os.path.realpath() will expand it as such. The net effect is to silently turn a network path test into (typically) a "C:\" test. Additionally, the command hangs after printing out 'symlink: no' for the third case (but is interruptable with Ctrl + C). This path mangling only comes into play because of the command line arguments- it won't affect internally obtained paths. Therefore, the simplest thing to do is to provide feedback on what the command is acting on. I also added the mount point, because Windows supports nesting [1] volumes (see the examples in "Junction Points and Mounted Folders"), and it was a useful diagnostic for figuring out why the wrong filesystem was printed out in the cases above. I opted not to call os.path.realpath() on the path argument, to make it clearer that the mangling isn't being done by Mercurial.

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.
