show: implement "stack" view...
show: implement "stack" view People often want to know what they are working on *now*. As part of this, they also commonly want to know how that work is related to other changesets in the repo so they can perform common actions like rebase, histedit, and merge. `hg show work` made headway into this space. However, it is geared towards a complete repo view as opposed to just the current line of work. If you have a lot of in-flight work or the repo has many heads, the output can be overwhelming. The closest thing Mercurial has to "show me the current thing I'm working on" that doesn't require custom revsets is `hg qseries`. And this requires MQ, which completely changes workflows and repository behavior and has horrible performance on large repos. But as sub-optimal as MQ is, it does some things right, such as expose a model of the repo that is easy for people to reason about. This simplicity is why I think a lot of people prefer to use MQ, despite its shortcomings. One common development workflow is to author a series of linear changesets, using bookmarks, branches, anonymous heads, or even topics (3rd party extension). I'll call this a "stack." You periodically rewrite history in place (using `hg histedit`) and reparent the stack against newer changesets (using `hg rebase`). This workflow can be difficult because there is no obvious way to quickly see the current "stack" nor its relation to other changesets. Figuring out arguments to `hg rebase` can be difficult and may require highlighting and pasting multiple changeset nodes to construct a command. The goal of this commit is to make stack based workflows simpler by exposing a view of the current stack and its relationship to other releant changesets, notably the parent of the base changeset in the stack and newer heads that the stack could be rebased or merged into. Introduced is the `hg show stack` view. Essentially, it finds all mutable changesets from the working directory revision in both directions, stopping at a merge or branch point. This limits the revisions to a DAG linear range. The stack is rendered as a concise list of changesets. Alongside the stack is a visualization of the DAG, similar to `hg log -G`. Newer public heads from the branch point of the stack are rendered above the stack. The presence of these heads helps people understand the DAG model and the relationship between the stack and changes made since the branch point of that stack. If the "rebase" command is available, a `hg rebase` command is printed for each head so a user can perform a simple copy and paste to perform a rebase. This view is alpha quality. There are tons of TODOs documented inline. But I think it is good enough for a first iteration.

No arguments shows available views
$ hg init empty
$ cd empty
$ hg show
available views:
bookmarks -- bookmarks and their associated changeset
stack -- current line of work
work -- changesets that aren't finished
abort: no view requested
(use "hg show VIEW" to choose a view)
[255]
`hg help show` prints available views
$ hg help show
hg show VIEW
show various repository information
A requested view of repository data is displayed.
If no view is requested, the list of available views is shown and the
command aborts.
Note:
There are no backwards compatibility guarantees for the output of this
command. Output may change in any future Mercurial release.
Consumers wanting stable command output should specify a template via
"-T/--template".
List of available views:
bookmarks bookmarks and their associated changeset
stack current line of work
work changesets that aren't finished
(use 'hg help -e show' to show help for the show extension)
options:
-T --template TEMPLATE display with template
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
Unknown view prints error
$ hg show badview
abort: unknown view: badview
(run "hg show" to see available views)
[255]
HGPLAIN results in abort
$ HGPLAIN=1 hg show bookmarks
abort: must specify a template in plain mode
(invoke with -T/--template to control output format)
[255]
But not if a template is specified
$ HGPLAIN=1 hg show bookmarks -T '{bookmark}\n'
(no bookmarks set)
$ cd ..
bookmarks view with no bookmarks prints empty message
$ hg init books
$ cd books
$ touch f0
$ hg -q commit -A -m initial
$ hg show bookmarks
(no bookmarks set)
bookmarks view shows bookmarks in an aligned table
$ echo book1 > f0
$ hg commit -m 'commit for book1'
$ echo book2 > f0
$ hg commit -m 'commit for book2'
$ hg bookmark -r 1 book1
$ hg bookmark a-longer-bookmark
$ hg show bookmarks
* a-longer-bookmark 7b570
book1 b757f
A custom bookmarks template works
$ hg show bookmarks -T '{node} {bookmark} {active}\n'
7b5709ab64cbc34da9b4367b64afff47f2c4ee83 a-longer-bookmark True
b757f780b8ffd71267c6ccb32e0882d9d32a8cc0 book1 False
bookmarks JSON works
$ hg show bookmarks -T json
[
{
"active": true,
"bookmark": "a-longer-bookmark",
"longestbookmarklen": 17,
"node": "7b5709ab64cbc34da9b4367b64afff47f2c4ee83"
},
{
"active": false,
"bookmark": "book1",
"longestbookmarklen": 17,
"node": "b757f780b8ffd71267c6ccb32e0882d9d32a8cc0"
}
]
JSON works with no bookmarks
$ hg book -d a-longer-bookmark
$ hg book -d book1
$ hg show bookmarks -T json

commands.show.aliasprefix aliases values to `show <view>`
$ hg --config commands.show.aliasprefix=s sbookmarks
