filemerge.prompt: separate out choice selection and action This will make future patches cleaner.

test-merge-prompt.t: add tests for linear updates + change/delete conflicts Turns out this bit of code was woefully untested.

test-pathencode.py: drop support for Python 2.4

hgweb.server: drop support for Python 2.4

util: drop Python 2.4 compat by directly importing md5 and sha1 There's been a fair amount of cruft here over the years, which we can all just get rid of now.

hgweb: replace some str.split() calls by str.partition() or str.rpartition() Since Python 2.5 str has new methods: partition and rpartition. They are more specialized than the usual split and rsplit, and they sometimes convey the intent of code better and also are a bit faster (faster than split/rsplit with maxsplit specified). Let's use them in appropriate places for a small speedup. Example performance (partition): $ python -m timeit 'assert "apple|orange|banana".split("|")[0] == "apple"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.376 usec per loop $ python -m timeit 'assert "apple|orange|banana".split("|", 1)[0] == "apple"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.327 usec per loop $ python -m timeit 'assert "apple|orange|banana".partition("|")[0] == "apple"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.214 usec per loop Example performance (rpartition): $ python -m timeit 'assert "apple|orange|banana".rsplit("|")[-1] == "banana"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.372 usec per loop $ python -m timeit 'assert "apple|orange|banana".rsplit("|", 1)[-1] == "banana"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.332 usec per loop $ python -m timeit 'assert "apple|orange|banana".rpartition("|")[-1] == "banana"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.219 usec per loop

convert: test clean p2 file missing 216fa1ba9993 introduced "clever" reuse of p2 but did that convert could fail with abort: f1@f73e02ae52c5: not found in manifest! when it tried to reuse a file from p2 but the file didn't exist there, for example because filemap changes. 5ca587348875 fixed that (using changes from a75d24539aba), but with a quite different reasoning and test case. Add another test that makes sure this case is covered too.

uescape: also encode non-printable char under 128 We were assuming everything under 128 was printable ascii, but there are a lot of control characters in that range that can't simply be included in json and other targets. We forcibly encode everything under 32, because they are either control char or oddly printable (like tab or line ending). We also add the hypothesis-powered test that caught this.

testing: add hypothesis fuzz testing Hypothesis a library for adding fuzzing over a range of structure data to your test suite: http://hypothesis.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ This adds the ability to build tests using Hypothesis within the Mercurial test suite. New tests and fixes using this helpers comes in later changesets.
