Mercurial 5.6 (2020-10-29)

Mercurial 5.6 (2020-10-29)#

New Features#

  • hg mv -A can now be used with --at-rev. It behaves just like hg cp -A --at-rev, i.e. it marks the destination as a copy of the source whether or not the source still exists but the source must exist in the parent revision).

  • New revset predicate diffcontains(pattern) for filtering revisions the same way as hg grep --diff pattern.

  • The memory footprint per changeset and per file during pull/unbundle operations has been significantly reduced.

Internal API Changes#

  • merge.update() is now private (renamed to _update()). Hopefully the higher-level functions available in the same module cover your use cases.

  • phases.registernew now takes a set of revisions instead of a list of nodes. phases.advanceboundary takes an optional set of revisions in addition to the list of nodes. The corresponeding members of the phasecache class follow this change.

  • The addgroup member of revlog classes no longer keeps a list of all found nodes. It now returns True iff a node was found in the group. An optional callback for duplicated nodes can be used by callers to keep track of all nodes themselve.

  • The _chaininfocache of revlog classes has been changed from a dict to a LRU cache.
