cmdserver: protect pipe server streams against corruption caused by direct io Because pipe-mode server uses stdio as IPC channel, other modules should not touch stdio directly and use ui instead. However, this strategy is brittle because several Python functions read and write stdio implicitly. print 'hello' # should use ui.write() # => ch = 'h', size = 1701604463 'ello', data = '\n' This patch adds protection for such mistakes. Both stdio files and low-level file descriptors are redirected to /dev/null while command server uses them.

cmdserver: postpone creation of pipe server until run() This makes it easy to swap file descriptors while running command server.

cmdserver: use given streams as pipe channels like other commands Because commandserver itself is an hg subcommand, it shouldn't use stdio directly in principle.

revset.only: use cl.findmissingrevs ancestor.missingancestors is really an implementation detail.

manifestmerge: use already existing fl2 synonym for m2.flags(f) Probably not a noticeable performance gain, but shortens the code slightly.

merge: drop underscore prefix from _checkunknown() The method has been called from commands.py since 3eab42088be4 (update: just merge unknown file collisions, 2012-02-09), so drop the underscore prefix that suggests that it's private.

transaction: drop special handling for phases and bookmarks generation We are still doing double backups, but now that we have proper location handling this is less of an issue. Dropping this simplifies the code before we add some pending-related logic. This also ensures we actually test the new 'location' mechanism.

transaction: use 'location' instead of 'vfs' objects for file generation The argument is now a location name. The location must be present in the 'vfsmap' provided to the transaction at creation time.

transaction: use 'location' instead of 'vfs' in the addbackup method This unlock the backup of file outside of store (eg: bookmarks).

addbackup: handle file in subdirectory The current naming scheme ('journal.backups.<file>') resulted is bad directory name when 'file' was in a subdirectory. We now extract the directory name and create the backupfile within it. We plan to use file in a subdirectory for cachefile.
