hgweb: do not ignore [auth] if url has a username (issue2822) The [auth] section was ignored when handling URLs like: http://user@example.com/foo Instead, we look in [auth] for an entry matching the URL and supplied user name. Entries without username can match URL with a username. Prefix length ties are resolved in favor of entries matching the username. With: foo.prefix = http://example.org foo.username = user foo.password = password bar.prefix = http://example.org/bar and the input URL: http://user@example.org/bar the 'bar' entry will be selected because of prefix length, therefore prompting for a password. This behaviour ensure that entries selection is consistent when looking for credentials or for certificates, and that certificates can be picked even if their entries do no define usernames while the URL does. Additionally, entries without a username matched against a username are returned as if they did have requested username set to avoid prompting again for a username if the password is not set. v2: reparse the URL in readauthforuri() to handle HTTP and HTTPS similarly. v3: allow unset usernames to match URL usernames to pick certificates. Resolve prefix length ties in favor of entries with usernames.

Description
-----------
The **hg** command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial
system.

Command Elements
----------------

files...
    indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames; see
    `File Name Patterns`_ for information on pattern matching

path
    indicates a path on the local machine

revision
    indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset
    revision number, a tag, or a unique substring of the changeset

Files
-----

``.hgignore``
    This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
    describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
    see |hgignore(5)|_.

``.hgtags``
    This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
    of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
    the repository contents.

``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
    This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
    ``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
    settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
    See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
    files.

Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
it will be overwritten.

Bugs
----
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources_
below) when you find them.
