repair: implement requirements checking for upgrades This commit introduces functionality for upgrading a repository in place. The first part that's implemented is testing for upgrade "compatibility." This is done by examining repository requirements. There are 5 functions returning sets of requirements that control upgrading. Why so many functions? Mainly to support extensions. Functions are easier to monkeypatch than module variables. Astute readers will see that we don't support "manifestv2" and "treemanifest" requirements in the upgrade mechanism. I don't have a great answer for why other than this is a complex set of patches and I don't want to deal with the complexity of these experimental features just yet. We can teach the upgrade mechanism about them later, once the basic upgrade mechanism is in place. This commit also introduces the "upgraderepo" function. This will be our main routine for performing an in-place upgrade. Currently, it just implements requirements checking. The structure of some code in this function may look a bit weird (e.g. the inline function that is only called once). But this will make sense after future commits.

Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Thu, 24 Nov 2016 16:24:09 -0800] rev 30774
debugcommands: stub for debugupgraderepo command Currently, if Mercurial introduces a new repository/store feature or changes behavior of an existing feature, users must perform an `hg clone` to create a new repository with hopefully the correct/optimal settings. Unfortunately, even `hg clone` may not give the correct results. For example, if you do a local `hg clone`, you may get hardlinks to revlog files that inherit the old state. If you `hg clone` from a remote or `hg clone --pull`, changegroup application may bypass some optimization, such as converting to generaldelta. Optimizing a repository is harder than it seems and requires more than a simple `hg` command invocation. This commit starts the process of changing that. We introduce `hg debugupgraderepo`, a command that performs an in-place upgrade of a repository to use new, optimal features. The command is just a stub right now. Features will be added in subsequent commits. This commit does foreshadow some of the behavior of the new command, notably that it doesn't do anything by default and that it takes arguments that influence what actions it performs. These will be explained more in subsequent commits.
Wed, 11 Jan 2017 21:47:19 -0500 util: teach stringmatcher to handle forced case insensitive matches
Matt Harbison <matt_harbison@yahoo.com> [Wed, 11 Jan 2017 21:47:19 -0500] rev 30773
util: teach stringmatcher to handle forced case insensitive matches The 'author' and 'desc' revsets are documented to be case insensitive. Unfortunately, this was implemented in 'author' by forcing the input to lowercase, including for regex like '\B'. (This actually inverts the meaning of the sequence.) For backward compatibility, we will keep that a case insensitive regex, but by using matcher options instead of brute force. This doesn't preclude future hypothetical 'icase-literal:' style prefixes that can be provided by the user. Such user specified cases can probably be handled up front by stripping 'icase-', setting the variable, and letting it drop through the existing code.

revset: point to 'grep' in the 'keyword' help for regex searches The help for 'grep' already points to 'keyword'.

help: explain that revsets can be used where 1 or 2 revs are wanted We did not seem to document that one can do things like "hg up :@" where the last revision of the revset ":@".
Wed, 11 Jan 2017 22:46:07 -0800 help: explain what the term "revset" means
Martin von Zweigbergk <martinvonz@google.com> [Wed, 11 Jan 2017 22:46:07 -0800] rev 30770
help: explain what the term "revset" means We refer to revsets in a few places (e.g. in "hg help config"), but we never explained what they are. Until now.

Martin von Zweigbergk <martinvonz@google.com> [Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:37:38 -0800] rev 30769
help: merge revsets.txt into revisions.txt Selecting single and multiple revisions is closely related, so let's put it in one place, so users can easily find it. We actually did not even point to "hg help revsets" from "hg help revisions", but now that they're on a single page, that won't be necessary.

tests: use `hg help dates` instead of `hg help revs` in test The revisions help is already long and will get longer, so switch to another short and stable topic.

help: use a single paragraph to describe full and abbreviated nodeids The texts describing 40-digit strings and the abbreviated form are closely related, so make it a single paragraph.
Tue, 10 Jan 2017 23:37:08 -0800 hgweb: support Content Security Policy
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Tue, 10 Jan 2017 23:37:08 -0800] rev 30766
hgweb: support Content Security Policy Content-Security-Policy (CSP) is a web security feature that allows servers to declare what loaded content is allowed to do. For example, a policy can prevent loading of images, JavaScript, CSS, etc unless the source of that content is whitelisted (by hostname, URI scheme, hashes of content, etc). It's a nifty security feature that provides extra mitigation against some attacks, notably XSS. Mitigation against these attacks is important for Mercurial because hgweb renders repository data, which is commonly untrusted. While we make attempts to escape things, etc, there's the possibility that malicious data could be injected into the site content. If this happens today, the full power of the web browser is available to that malicious content. A restrictive CSP policy (defined by the server operator and sent in an HTTP header which is outside the control of malicious content), could restrict browser capabilities and mitigate security problems posed by malicious data. CSP works by emitting an HTTP header declaring the policy that browsers should apply. Ideally, this header would be emitted by a layer above Mercurial (likely the HTTP server doing the WSGI "proxying"). This works for some CSP policies, but not all. For example, policies to allow inline JavaScript may require setting a "nonce" attribute on <script>. This attribute value must be unique and non-guessable. And, the value must be present in the HTTP header and the HTML body. This means that coordinating the value between Mercurial and another HTTP server could be difficult: it is much easier to generate and emit the nonce in a central location. This commit introduces support for emitting a Content-Security-Policy header from hgweb. A config option defines the header value. If present, the header is emitted. A special "%nonce%" syntax in the value triggers generation of a nonce and inclusion in <script> elements in templates. The inclusion of a nonce does not occur unless "%nonce%" is present. This makes this commit completely backwards compatible and the feature opt-in. The nonce is a type 4 UUID, which is the flavor that is randomly generated. It has 122 random bits, which should be plenty to satisfy the guarantees of a nonce.
