hgweb: add HTML elements to control whitespace settings for annotate Building on top of the new URL query string arguments to control whitespace settings for annotate, this commit adds HTML checkboxes reflecting the values of these arguments to the paper and gitweb themes. The actual diff settings are now exported to the templating layer. The HTML templates add these as data-* attributes so they are accessible to the DOM. A new <form> with various <input> elements is added. The <form> is initially hidden via CSS. A shared JavaScript function (which runs after the <form> has been rendered but before the annotate HTML (because annotate HTML could take a while to load and we want the form to render quickly) takes care of setting the checked state of each box from the data-* attributes. It also registers an event handler to modify the URL and refresh the page whenever the checkbox state is changed. I'm using the URLSearchParams interface to perform URL manipulation. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams tells me this may not be supported on older web browsers. Yes, apparently the web API didn't have a standard API to parse and format query strings until recently. Hence the check for the presence of this feature in the JavaScript. If the browser doesn't support the feature, the <form> will remain hidden and behavior will like it currently is. We could polyfill this feature or implement our own query string parsing. But I'm lazy and this could be done as a follow-up if people miss it. We could certainly expand this feature to support more diff options (such as lines of context). That's why the potentially reusable code is stored in a reusable place. It is also certainly possible to add diff controls to other pages that display diffs. But since Mozillians are making noise about controlling which revisions annotate shows, I figured I'd start there. .. feature:: Control whitespace settings for annotation on hgweb /annotate URLs on hgweb now accept query string arguments to influence how whitespace changes impact results. The arguments "ignorews," "ignorewsamount," "ignorewseol," and "ignoreblanklines" now have the same meaning as their [annotate] config section counterparts. Any provided setting overrides the server default. HTML checkboxes have been added to the paper and gitweb themes to expose current whitespace settings and to easily modify the current view.

To merge files Mercurial uses merge tools.
A merge tool combines two different versions of a file into a merged
file. Merge tools are given the two files and the greatest common
ancestor of the two file versions, so they can determine the changes
made on both branches.
Merge tools are used both for :hg:`resolve`, :hg:`merge`, :hg:`update`,
:hg:`backout` and in several extensions.
Usually, the merge tool tries to automatically reconcile the files by
combining all non-overlapping changes that occurred separately in
the two different evolutions of the same initial base file. Furthermore, some
interactive merge programs make it easier to manually resolve
conflicting merges, either in a graphical way, or by inserting some
conflict markers. Mercurial does not include any interactive merge
programs but relies on external tools for that.
Available merge tools
=====================
External merge tools and their properties are configured in the
merge-tools configuration section - see hgrc(5) - but they can often just
be named by their executable.
A merge tool is generally usable if its executable can be found on the
system and if it can handle the merge. The executable is found if it
is an absolute or relative executable path or the name of an
application in the executable search path. The tool is assumed to be
able to handle the merge if it can handle symlinks if the file is a
symlink, if it can handle binary files if the file is binary, and if a
GUI is available if the tool requires a GUI.
There are some internal merge tools which can be used. The internal
merge tools are:
.. internaltoolsmarker
Internal tools are always available and do not require a GUI but will by default
not handle symlinks or binary files.
Choosing a merge tool
=====================
Mercurial uses these rules when deciding which merge tool to use:
1. If a tool has been specified with the --tool option to merge or resolve, it
is used. If it is the name of a tool in the merge-tools configuration, its
configuration is used. Otherwise the specified tool must be executable by
the shell.
2. If the ``HGMERGE`` environment variable is present, its value is used and
must be executable by the shell.
3. If the filename of the file to be merged matches any of the patterns in the
merge-patterns configuration section, the first usable merge tool
corresponding to a matching pattern is used. Here, binary capabilities of the
merge tool are not considered.
4. If ui.merge is set it will be considered next. If the value is not the name
of a configured tool, the specified value is used and must be executable by
the shell. Otherwise the named tool is used if it is usable.
5. If any usable merge tools are present in the merge-tools configuration
section, the one with the highest priority is used.
6. If a program named ``hgmerge`` can be found on the system, it is used - but
it will by default not be used for symlinks and binary files.
7. If the file to be merged is not binary and is not a symlink, then
internal ``:merge`` is used.
8. Otherwise, ``:prompt`` is used.
.. note::
After selecting a merge program, Mercurial will by default attempt
to merge the files using a simple merge algorithm first. Only if it doesn't
succeed because of conflicting changes Mercurial will actually execute the
merge program. Whether to use the simple merge algorithm first can be
controlled by the premerge setting of the merge tool. Premerge is enabled by
default unless the file is binary or a symlink.
See the merge-tools and ui sections of hgrc(5) for details on the
configuration of merge tools.
