hg: obtain lock when creating share from pooled repo (issue5104)...
hg: obtain lock when creating share from pooled repo (issue5104) There are race conditions between clients performing a shared clone to pooled storage: 1) Clients race to create the new shared repo in the pool directory 2) 1 client is seeding the repo in the pool directory and another goes to share it before it is fully cloned We prevent these race conditions by obtaining a lock in the pool directory that is derived from the name of the repo we will be accessing. To test this, a simple generic "lockdelay" extension has been added. The extension inserts an optional, configurable delay before or after lock acquisition. In the test, we delay 2 seconds after lock acquisition in the first process and 1 second before lock acquisition in the 2nd process. This means the first process has 1s to obtain the lock. There is a race condition here. If we encounter it in the wild, we could change the dummy extension to wait on the lock file to appear instead of relying on timing. But that's more complicated. Let's see what happens first.

WiX installer source files
==========================

The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files
are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In
other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is
the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.

The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
contrib/win32 folder, the contents of which have been historically used
to create an InnoSetup based installer. The rest of the files there are
ignored.

The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may
still be useful to some users.

To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer
prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
they are more specific.
