mergestate: determine if active without looking for state files on disk I couldn't think of a reason that we need to check state files on disk to determine if a merge is active. I could imagine them being for there for detecting broken state files that would then be cleaned up by some later command, but we always delete the entire `.hg/merge/` tree, so that doesn't seem to be it. The checks were added in 4e932dc5c113 (resolve: abort when not applicable (BC), 2014-04-18). Perhaps there were needed for that and then made obsolete by 6062593d8b06 (resolve: don't abort resolve -l even when no merge is in progress, 2014-05-23). The reason I want to delete the checks is that I think `ms = mergestate.read(repo); ms.active() and ms.local` should be a valid pattern, but it crashes when the merge state file is an empty file if we consider mere presence of the file as "active".

Features

The following Cargo features are available:

localdev (default)

Produce files that work with an in-source-tree build.

In this mode, the build finds and uses a python2.7 binary from PATH. The hg binary assumes it runs from rust/target/<target>hg and it finds Mercurial files at dirname($0)/../../../.

Build Mechanism

The produced hg binary is bound to a CPython installation. The binary links against and loads a CPython library that is discovered at build time (by a build.rs Cargo build script). The Python standard library defined by this CPython installation is also used.

Finding the appropriate CPython installation to use is done by the python27-sys crate's build.rs. Its search order is:

  1. PYTHON_SYS_EXECUTABLE environment variable.
  2. python executable on PATH
  3. python2 executable on PATH
  4. python2.7 executable on PATH

Additional verification of the found Python will be performed by our build.rs to ensure it meets Mercurial's requirements.

Details about the build-time configured Python are built into the produced hg binary. This means that a built hg binary is only suitable for a specific, well-defined role. These roles are controlled by Cargo features (see above).

Running

The hgcli crate produces an hg binary. You can run this binary via cargo run:

$ cargo run --manifest-path hgcli/Cargo.toml

Or directly:

$ target/debug/hg
$ target/release/hg

You can also run the test harness with this binary:

$ ./run-tests.py --with-hg ../rust/target/debug/hg

Note

Integration with the test harness is still preliminary. Remember to cargo build after changes because the test harness doesn't yet automatically build Rust code.
