dispatch: add shell aliases
This patch adds git-style "shell aliases" to Mercurial.
Any alias with a definition beginning with a '!' will be treated as a shell
alias. For example:
[alias]
echo = !echo
qempty = !hg qrefresh -X "`hg root`" ; echo Emptied patch "`hg qtop`"
$ hg echo foo
foo
$ hg qempty
Emptied patch foo
$
% basic
% unknown
alias 'unknown' resolves to unknown command 'bargle'
alias 'unknown' resolves to unknown command 'bargle'
% ambiguous
alias 'ambiguous' resolves to ambiguous command 's'
alias 'ambiguous' resolves to ambiguous command 's'
% recursive
alias 'recursive' resolves to unknown command 'recursive'
alias 'recursive' resolves to unknown command 'recursive'
% no definition
no definition for alias 'nodefinition'
no definition for alias 'nodefinition'
% no usage
no rollback information available
