remotefilelog: add a developer option to wait for background processes In order to block the main command on the subprocess exiting, we ensure the repo's ui object will call the subprocess.wait() method to ensure the top-level hg process doesn't exit until all background processes have also done so. Currently, in the tests, most operation spawning background process as followed by commands waiting for these operations to complete. However this waiting is racy. First because it seems like we can start waiting before the background operation actually start, in which case it is prematurely detected as "done". Second, because some commands may spawn multiple background operation for the same operation (eg: rebase can apparently trigger multiple prefetch). The current approach could be updated to maybe handle the first issue, but the second one will never be properly handled. In most case, we do not care that the bg process keep running after the command end. (Since we explicitly wait for them to end before doing anything else). So we add an option to wait on the background process before exiting the command. We'll put it in use in the next changeset. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7585

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.
