chg: downgrade "failed to read channel" from abortmsg to debugmsg If the server has an uncaught exception, it will exit without being able to write the channel information. In this case, the client is likely to complain about "failed to read channel", which looks inconsistent with original hg. This patch silences the error message and makes uncaught exception behavior more like original hg. It will help chg to pass test-fileset.t.

histedit: do not close stdin Closing stdin is unexpected by chgserver and is not a good idea generally. This patch refactors related code a bit and make sure stdin is not closed. It will make chg much happier on test-histedit*.t.

tests: reorder hg serve commands chg currently does not support hg serve -d. It has a quick path testing if the command is hg serve -d and fallbacks to hg if so. But the test only works if "serve" is the first argument since the test wants to avoid false positives (for example, "-r serve" is different). This patch reorders "hg server" commands in tests, making them chg friendly.

templater: add debugtemplate command This is useful for debugging template parsing. Several tests are ported to this command.

templater: expand list of parsed templates to template node This patch eliminates a nested data structure other than the parsed tree. ('template', [(op, data), ..]) -> ('template', (op, data), ..) New expanded tree can be processed by common parser functions. This change will help implementing template aliases. Because a (template ..) node should have at least one child node, an empty template (template []) is mapped to (string ''). Also a trivial string (template [(string ..)]) node is unwrapped to (string ..) at parsing phase, instead of compiling phase.

templater: relax type of mapped template Now compiled template fragments are packed into a generic type, (func, data), a string can be a valid template. This change allows us to unwrap a trivial string node. See the next patch for details.

templater: lift parsed and compiled templates to generic data types Before this patch, parsed and compiled templates were kept as lists. That was inconvenient for applying transformation such as alias expansion. This patch changes the types of the outermost objects as follows: stage old new -------- -------------- ------------------------------ parsed [(op, ..)] ('template', [(op, ..)]) compiled [(func, data)] (runtemplate, [(func, data)]) New templater.parse() function has the same signature as revset.parse() and fileset.parse().

tests: python executable path should always be globbed Although this is coming in under the guise of consistency, part of the desire for this is that at least as part of the official Solaris builds, we build with a versioned python interpreter, such as "python2.7", which doesn't match "*python".

crecord: use ui.interface to choose curses interface use ui.interface to select curses mode, instead of experimental.crecord

ui: add new config flag for interface selection This patch introduces a new config flag ui.interface to select the interface for interactive commands. It currently only applies to chunks selection. The config can be overridden on a per feature basis with the flag ui.interface.<feature>. features for the moment can only be 'chunkselector', moving forward we expect to have 'histedit' and other commands there. If an incorrect value is given to ui.interface we print a warning and use the default interface: text. If HGPLAIN is specified we also use the default interface: text. Note that we fail quickly if a feature does not handle all the interfaces that we permit in ui.interface; in future, we could design a fallback path (e.g. blackpearl to curses, curses to text), but let's leave that until we need it.
