dispatch: add shell aliases
This patch adds git-style "shell aliases" to Mercurial.
Any alias with a definition beginning with a '!' will be treated as a shell
alias. For example:
[alias]
echo = !echo
qempty = !hg qrefresh -X "`hg root`" ; echo Emptied patch "`hg qtop`"
$ hg echo foo
foo
$ hg qempty
Emptied patch foo
$
#!/bin/sh
mkdir t
cd t
hg init
echo This is file a1 > a
echo This is file b1 > b
hg add a b
hg commit -m "commit #0" -d "1000000 0"
echo This is file b22 > b
hg commit -m"comment #1" -d "1000000 0"
hg update 0
rm b
hg commit -A -m"comment #2" -d "1000000 0"
mv a c
# in theory, we shouldn't need the "-y" below, but it prevents
# this test from hanging when "hg update" erroneously prompts the
# user for "keep or delete"
echo % should abort
hg update -y 1
mv c a
echo % should succeed
hg update -y 1
exit 0
