config: add a function to insert non-file based, but overridable settings...
config: add a function to insert non-file based, but overridable settings This will be used in the next patch. Until relatively recently (473510bf0575), there was no official way for extensions to inject per-repo config data, so it probably makes sense that `ui.setconfig()` items are sticky, and not affected by loading more config files. But that makes it cumbersome if the extension wants to allow the data it might add to be overridden by any data in the local hgrc file. The only thing I could get to work was to load the local hgrc first, and then check if the source for the config item that should be overridden was *not* the local hgrc file name. But that's brittle because in addition to the file name, the source contains the line number, there are the usual '\' vs '/' platform differences, etc. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7933

Mercurial Rust Code

This directory contains various Rust code for the Mercurial project. Rust is not required to use (or build) Mercurial, but using it improves performance in some areas.

There are currently three independent rust projects: - chg. An implementation of chg, in rust instead of C. - hgcli. A experiment for starting hg in rust rather than in python,

by linking with the python runtime. Probably meant to be replaced by PyOxidizer at some point.
  • hg-core (and hg-cpython/hg-directffi): implementation of some functionality of mercurial in rust, e.g. ancestry computations in revision graphs or pull discovery. The top-level Cargo.toml file defines a workspace containing these crates.

Using hg-core

Local use (you need to clean previous build artifacts if you have built without rust previously):

$ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make local # to use ./hg
$ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make tests # to run all tests
$ (cd tests; HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython ./run-tests.py) # only the .t
$ ./hg debuginstall | grep rust # to validate rust is in use
checking module policy (rust+c-allow)

Setting HGWITHRUSTEXT to other values like true is deprecated and enables only a fraction of the rust code.

Developing hg-core

Simply run:

$ cargo build --release

It is possible to build without --release, but it is not recommended if performance is of any interest: there can be an order of magnitude of degradation when removing --release.

For faster builds, you may want to skip code generation:

$ cargo check

You can run only the rust-specific tests (as opposed to tests of mercurial as a whole) with:

$ cargo test --all
