color: turn 'ui.color' into a boolean (auto or off)...
color: turn 'ui.color' into a boolean (auto or off) Previously, 'ui.color=yes' meant "always show color", While "ui.color=auto" meant "use color automatically when it appears sensible". This feels problematic to some people because if an administrator has disabled color with "ui.color=off", and a user turn it back on using "color=on", it will get surprised (because it breaks their output when redirected to a file.) This patch changes ui.color=true to only move the default value of --color from "never" to "auto". I'm not really in favor of this changes as I suspect the above case will be pretty rare and I would rather keep the logic simpler. However, I'm providing this patch to help the 4.2 release in the case were others decide to make this changes. Users that want to force colors without specifying --color on the command line can use the 'ui.formatted' config knob, which had to be enabled in a handful of tests for this patch. Nice summary table (credit: Augie Fackler) That is, before this patch: +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | | not a tty | a tty | | | --color not set | --color not set | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color (not set) | no color | no color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = auto | no color | color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = yes | *color* | color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = no | no color | no color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ (if --color is specified, it always clobbers the setting in [ui]) and after this patch: +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | | not a tty | a tty | | | --color not set | --color not set | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color (not set) | no color | no color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = auto | no color | color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = yes | *no color* | color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ | [ui] | | | | color = no | no color | no color | | | | | +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ (if --color is specified, it always clobbers the setting in [ui])

Some Mercurial commands produce a lot of output, and Mercurial will
attempt to use a pager to make those commands more pleasant.
To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable::
[pager]
pager = less -FRX
If no pager is set, Mercurial uses the environment variable
$PAGER. If neither pager.pager, nor $PAGER is set, a default pager
will be used, typically `less` on Unix and `more` on Windows.
You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
pager.ignore list::
[pager]
ignore = version, help, update
To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have
to specify them in your user configuration file.
To control whether the pager is used at all for an individual command,
you can use --pager=<value>:
- use as needed: `auto`.
- require the pager: `yes` or `on`.
- suppress the pager: `no` or `off` (any unrecognized value
will also work).
To globally turn off all attempts to use a pager, set::
[pager]
enable = false
which will prevent the pager from running.
