namespaces: let namespaces override singlenode() definition...
namespaces: let namespaces override singlenode() definition Some namespaces have multiple nodes per name (meaning that their namemap() returns multiple nodes). One such namespace is the "topics" namespace (from the evolve repo). We also have our own internal namespace at Google (for review units) that has multiple nodes per name. These namespaces may not want to use the default "pick highest revnum" resolution that we currently use when resolving a name to a single node. As an example, they may decide that `hg co <name>` should check out a commit that's last in some sense even if an earlier commit had just been amended and thus had a higher revnum [1]. This patch gives the namespace the option to continue to return multiple nodes and to override how the best node is picked. Allowing namespaces to override that may also be useful as an optimization (it may be cheaper for the namespace to find just that node). I have been arguing (in D3715) for using all the nodes returned from namemap() when resolving the symbol to a revset, so e.g. `hg log -r stable` would resolve to *all* nodes on stable, not just the one with the highest revnum (except that I don't actually think we should change it for the branch namespace because of BC). Most people seem opposed to that. If we decide not to do it, I think we can deprecate the namemap() function in favor of the new singlenode() (I find it weird to have namespaces, like the branch namespace, where namemap() isn't nodemap()'s inverse). I therefore think this patch makes sense regardless of what we decide on that issue. [1] Actually, even the branch namespace would have wanted to override singlenode() if it had supported multiple nodes. That's because closes branch heads are mostly ignored, so "hg co default" will not check out the highest-revnum node if that's a closed head.

What are phases?
================
Phases are a system for tracking which changesets have been or should
be shared. This helps prevent common mistakes when modifying history
(for instance, with the mq or rebase extensions).
Each changeset in a repository is in one of the following phases:
- public : changeset is visible on a public server
- draft : changeset is not yet published
- secret : changeset should not be pushed, pulled, or cloned
These phases are ordered (public < draft < secret) and no changeset
can be in a lower phase than its ancestors. For instance, if a
changeset is public, all its ancestors are also public. Lastly,
changeset phases should only be changed towards the public phase.
How are phases managed?
=======================
For the most part, phases should work transparently. By default, a
changeset is created in the draft phase and is moved into the public
phase when it is pushed to another repository.
Once changesets become public, extensions like mq and rebase will
refuse to operate on them to prevent creating duplicate changesets.
Phases can also be manually manipulated with the :hg:`phase` command
if needed. See :hg:`help -v phase` for examples.
To make your commits secret by default, put this in your
configuration file::
[phases]
new-commit = secret
Phases and servers
==================
Normally, all servers are ``publishing`` by default. This means::
- all draft changesets that are pulled or cloned appear in phase
public on the client
- all draft changesets that are pushed appear as public on both
client and server
- secret changesets are neither pushed, pulled, or cloned
.. note::
Pulling a draft changeset from a publishing server does not mark it
as public on the server side due to the read-only nature of pull.
Sometimes it may be desirable to push and pull changesets in the draft
phase to share unfinished work. This can be done by setting a
repository to disable publishing in its configuration file::
[phases]
publish = False
See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.
.. note::
Servers running older versions of Mercurial are treated as
publishing.
.. note::
Changesets in secret phase are not exchanged with the server. This
applies to their content: file names, file contents, and changeset
metadata. For technical reasons, the identifier (e.g. d825e4025e39)
of the secret changeset may be communicated to the server.
Examples
========
- list changesets in draft or secret phase::
hg log -r "not public()"
- change all secret changesets to draft::
hg phase --draft "secret()"
- forcibly move the current changeset and descendants from public to draft::
hg phase --force --draft .
- show a list of changeset revisions and each corresponding phase::
hg log --template "{rev} {phase}\n"
- resynchronize draft changesets relative to a remote repository::
hg phase -fd "outgoing(URL)"
See :hg:`help phase` for more information on manually manipulating phases.
