filemerge: add config knob to check capabilities of internal merge tools For historical reason, Mercurial assumes capabilities of internal merge tools as below while examining rules to decide merge tool, regardless of actual capabilities of them. =============== ====== ======== specified via binary symlinks =============== ====== ======== --tool o o HGMERGE o o merge-patterns o (*) x (*) ui.merge x (*) x (*) =============== ====== ======== This causes: - unintentional internal merge tool is chosen for binary files via merge-patterns section of configuration file - explicit configuration of internal merge tool for symlinks is ignored unintentionally But on the other hand, simple "check capability strictly" might break backward compatibility (e.g. existing merge automations), because it changes the result of merge tool selection. Therefore, this patch adds config knob "merge.strict-capability-check" to control whether capabilities of internal merge tools should be checked strictly or not. If this configuration is true, capabilities of internal merge tools are checked strictly in (*) cases above.

Mercurial

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers.

Basic install:

$ make            # see install targets
$ make install    # do a system-wide install
$ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
$ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

$ make local      # build for inplace usage
$ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
