help: drop a reference to Windows 9x Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7694

help: clarify that the Windows registry key for hgrc files is systemwide Since there's no version or path info here to distinguish between installations, it is effectively systemwide (unless splitting hairs about the WoW64 registry redirection).

windows: add a global equivalent to /etc/mercurial for *.rc processing This follows the Unix model of processing this directory immediately after <internal>/*.rc, and prior to the installation relative files. Since the Unix processing supports both a directory and a file (the former overriding the latter), and since %HOME% supports both `*.ini` and `.hgrc` (again, the former overriding the latter), this does too. The Unix file doesn't have a `.` prefix, so it's not used here either. Note that this is the opposite order of processing the exe relative paths. But since it's in agreement with Unix, %HOME% and %USERPROFILE%, it seems reasonable to ignore that. Maybe we can change that and take a BC, because that's something the installer should be controlling, and I can't imagine people having both paths *and* conflicting settings.

match: normalize `cwd` early By having cwd in absolute form, we won't have to adjust it when passing it to subrepo matchers. This will matter for a coming patch. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7650

match: make sure `root` argument is always an absolute path (API) The `root` argument should already be an absolute path, but we had tests that passed a relative path. This patch fixes up the tests and adds an assertion. This assumes that `os.path.isabs('/repo')` will be `True` on all platforms we care to run tests on. Augie tested for me that it does work on Windows, so that's good enough for me. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7649

py3: force bytestr conversion of "reason" in scmutil.callcatch() For instance, reason may be an InvalidURL as shown in added test.

tests-pure: fixing test-parseindex2 This is a followup to D7603 (49fa0b31ee1d) which broke the tests for pure Python implementation. There are two divergences between pure and C implementations: - the pure implementation would accept only -1 as slice end, whereas C accepts both -1 and len(index) - in pure Python, `headrevs` is provided by revlog.py, not by the index.

rust-index: add a function to convert PyObject index for hg-core Function in hg-core need something implementing the `Graph` trait. Right now, the `hg-cpython` entry points directly turn the PyObject passed as argument into a `cindex::Index`. However, if we start having the option to use an Index in Rust, we need to dispatch between the different possible PyObject we could receive. So move the "duplicate" call into a unified function. When time come. It will be easy to update the logic of all interface when the time come. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7653

test: extract some generic data and utility from test-rust-ancestor.py We will reuse this for more tests related to revlog index. In pratice this series of changesets add an index implementation provided from Rust and we want to be able to test it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7652
