localrepo: support writing shared file (API)...
localrepo: support writing shared file (API) Now that we can create a shared repository via creation options, we can handle other special actions related to share at repo creation time as well. One of the things we do after creating a shared repository is write out a .hg/shared file containing the list of additional things to share. Of which only "bookmarks" is supported. We add a creation option to hold the set of additional items to share. If items are defined, we write out the .hg/shared file at repo creation time. As part of this, we no longer hold the repo lock when writing the file. I'm pretty sure we don't care about the tiny race condition window. I'm also pretty sure the reason we used the lock was because the vfs auditor on the repo instance complained otherwise. Since the repo creation code doesn't have an audited vfs, we don't need to appease it. Because we no longer need to tell the post share hook what items are shared, the "bookmarks" argument to that function has been dropped, incurring an API change.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
