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.

Valid URLs are of the form::
local/filesystem/path[#revision]
file://local/filesystem/path[#revision]
http://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
https://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
ssh://[user@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
Paths in the local filesystem can either point to Mercurial
repositories or to bundle files (as created by :hg:`bundle` or
:hg:`incoming --bundle`). See also :hg:`help paths`.
An optional identifier after # indicates a particular branch, tag, or
changeset to use from the remote repository. See also :hg:`help
revisions`.
Some features, such as pushing to http:// and https:// URLs are only
possible if the feature is explicitly enabled on the remote Mercurial
server.
Note that the security of HTTPS URLs depends on proper configuration of
web.cacerts.
Some notes about using SSH with Mercurial:
- SSH requires an accessible shell account on the destination machine
and a copy of hg in the remote path or specified with remotecmd.
- path is relative to the remote user's home directory by default. Use
an extra slash at the start of a path to specify an absolute path::
ssh://example.com//tmp/repository
- Mercurial doesn't use its own compression via SSH; the right thing
to do is to configure it in your ~/.ssh/config, e.g.::
Host *.mylocalnetwork.example.com
Compression no
Host *
Compression yes
Alternatively specify "ssh -C" as your ssh command in your
configuration file or with the --ssh command line option.
These URLs can all be stored in your configuration file with path
aliases under the [paths] section like so::
[paths]
alias1 = URL1
alias2 = URL2
...
You can then use the alias for any command that uses a URL (for
example :hg:`pull alias1` will be treated as :hg:`pull URL1`).
Two path aliases are special because they are used as defaults when
you do not provide the URL to a command:
default:
When you create a repository with hg clone, the clone command saves
the location of the source repository as the new repository's
'default' path. This is then used when you omit path from push- and
pull-like commands (including incoming and outgoing).
default-push:
The push command will look for a path named 'default-push', and
prefer it over 'default' if both are defined.
