rhg: fix a bug in path_encode This makes rhg able to access long paths at the root of the tree just fine.

rhg: demonstrate a bug in path_encode The bug means that long filenames at the root of the tree are encoded incorrectly by rhg, so rhg crashes when trying to access them.

rhg: nicer error message

setup: further improve the error path for version retrieval This is a new take at the problem that 8d390a13474d tried to tackle. There was two issues after that previous improvement: - the 0.0+ version could survive a bit too long and reaching the installer version and staying there. - multiple use case where still failing. So the new code is better at: - always succeeding when running `make local` so that we can bootstrap a local version - no using that fallback outside of `make local` to avoid distribution of version with the buggy version number. The setup.py is a gigantic pile of spaghetti code, to the point where pastafarian pilgrim started knocking at its core. However I refrained from cleaning that up since the more to a `setup.cfg` means this code should be deleted soon™.

typing: add type hints to argument checking functions in cmdutil These might be surprising, since they can take strings instead of bytes. The way `AnyStr` works is that it must be all bytes or all str for any given invocation. The wildcard here will be the `opts` that get passed in- if the type is unknown and defaults to `Any`, there's no enforcement that the dict key type matches the additional args. But a lot of uses should be using `**opts` from the command method, which has a str key. The uses of these methods in this module are now typed because their internals force a specific type, and it can't just be inferred from the caller.

tag: move the prohibition of tagging the `null` rev up to the `wdir()` check It makes sense to do these together, and avoid another revision lookup.

branching: merge with default the first part of the fix is there

dirstate: handle missing backup file on restoration This is the stable counter part to e358f6e0e50e. Since 6.4 will stop writing undo.dirstate in some case (actually… at all), a transaction created with 6.4 and recover/rolledback with 6.3 need to work to a certain degreee. This changeset add the necessary bits so that we don't get a traceback from 6..3 in this cases.

tests: remove unnecessary --traceback argument

tag: disallow tagging the working directory It's kinda silly, but a clear error message is better than a stacktrace about subscripting `None` when trying to generate the default commit message. I'm surprised that `.revsingle(..).node()` returns None instead of `nodemod.wdirid`, but now there's a test to catch if this changes.
