wireprotov2: define and implement "manifestdata" command...
wireprotov2: define and implement "manifestdata" command The added command can be used for obtaining manifest data. Given a manifest path and set of manifest nodes, data about manifests can be retrieved. Unlike changeset data, we wish to emit deltas to describe manifest revisions. So the command uses the relatively new API for building delta requests and emitting them. The code calls into deltaparent(), which I'm not very keen of. There's still work to be done in delta generation land so implementation details of storage (e.g. exactly one delta is stored/available) don't creep into higher levels. But we can worry about this later (there is already a TODO on imanifestorage tracking this). On the subject of parent deltas, the server assumes parent revisions exist on the receiving end. This is obviously wrong for shallow clone. I've added TODOs to add a mechanism to the command to allow clients to specify desired behavior. This shouldn't be too difficult to implement. Another big change is that the client must explicitly request manifest nodes to retrieve. This is a major departure from "getbundle," where the server derives relevant manifests as it iterates changesets and sends them automatically. As implemented, the client must transmit each requested node to the server. At 20 bytes per node, we're looking at 2 MB per 100,000 nodes. Plus wire encoding overhead. This isn't ideal for clients with limited upload bandwidth. I plan to address this in the future by allowing alternate mechanisms for defining the revisions to retrieve. One idea is to define a range of changeset revisions whose manifest revisions to retrieve (similar to how "changesetdata" works). We almost certainly want an API to look up an individual manifest by node. And that's where I've chosen to start with the implementation. Again, a theme of this early exchangev2 work is I want to start by building primitives for accessing raw repository data first and see how far we can get with those before we need more complexity.

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.
