doc: integrate graphviz graphs in tutorials
Use the mercurial-graphviz extension
(https://bitbucket.org/octobus/mercurial_graphviz) in tutorials in order to
have some dot graphs in the tutorials .t files.
In order to run the tests, export the GRAPHVIZ_EXTENSION variable which points
to your copy of the extension. Please be aware that pygraphviz should be
installed in your environment.
That should be sufficient for generating dot graphs in text format.
Then generate the doc as usual, the sphinx-graphviz extension (http://www
.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/ext/graphviz.html) has been added and it should
handle the generation of the graphs. Please be aware that you need the dot
binary installed in your system. Please refer to the extension documentation
for more configuration.

Topic branches are lightweight branches which disappear when changes are
finalized (moved to the public phase). They can help users to organize and share
their unfinished work.
Topic Basics
============
Let's say we use Mercurial to manage our shopping list:
$ hg log --graph
@ changeset: 0:38da43f0a2ea
tag: tip
user: test
date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
summary: Shopping list
$ hg graphviz -r "all()" --sphinx-directive --rankdir LR #ignore
.. graphviz::
strict digraph {
graph [rankdir=LR,
splines=polyline
];
node [label="\N"];
0 [fillcolor="#7F7FFF",
fixedsize=true,
group=default,
height=2,
label="0: 38da43f0a2ea",
pin=true,
pos="1,0!",
shape=circle,
style=filled,
width=2];
}
We are about to make some additions to this list and would like to do them
within a topic. Creating a new topic is done using the ``topic`` command:
$ hg topic food
Much like a named branch, our topic is active but it does not contain any
changeset yet:
$ hg topic
* food
$ hg summary
parent: 0:38da43f0a2ea tip
Shopping list
branch: default
commit: (clean)
update: (current)
topic: food
$ hg log --graph
@ changeset: 0:38da43f0a2ea
tag: tip
user: test
date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
summary: Shopping list
$ hg graphviz -r "all()" --sphinx-directive --rankdir LR #ignore
.. graphviz::
strict digraph {
graph [rankdir=LR,
splines=polyline
];
node [label="\N"];
0 [fillcolor="#7F7FFF",
fixedsize=true,
group=default,
height=2,
label="0: 38da43f0a2ea",
pin=true,
pos="1,0!",
shape=circle,
style=filled,
width=2];
}
Our next commit will be part of the active topic:
$ cat >> shopping << EOF
> Egg
> Suggar
> Vinegar
> Oil
> EOF
$ hg commit -m "adding condiments"
$ hg log --graph --rev 'topic("food")'
@ changeset: 1:13900241408b
| tag: tip
~ topic: food
user: test
date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000

$ hg graphviz -r "topic("food")" --sphinx-directive --rankdir LR #ignore
.. graphviz::

}
And future commits will be part of that topic too:
$ cat >> shopping << EOF

$ hg commit -m "adding fruits"
$ hg log --graph --rev 'topic("food")'

We can get a compact view of the content of our topic using the ``stack``
command:
$ hg stack
### topic: food
### branch: default
t2@ adding fruits (current)
t1: adding condiments
t0^ Shopping list (base)
The topic deactivates when we update away from it:
$ hg update default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg topic
food
Note that ``default`` (name of the branch) now refers to the tipmost
changeset of default without a topic:
$ hg log --graph
o changeset: 2:287de11b401f

And updating back to the topic reactivates it:
$ hg update food

$ hg topic

Updating to any changeset that is part of a topic activates the topic
regardless of how the revision was specified:
$ hg update default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg update --rev 'desc("condiments")'
switching to topic food

Working with Multiple Topics
============================
In the above example, topics do not bring much benefits since you only have one
line of development. Topics start to be more useful when you have to work on
multiple features at the same time.
We might go shopping in a hardware store in the same go, so let's add some
tools to the shopping list within a new topic:
$ hg topic tools
$ echo hammer >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding hammer'
$ echo saw >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding saw'
$ echo drill >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding drill'
But we are not sure we will actually go to the hardware store, so in the
meantime, we want to extend the list with drinks. We go back to the official
default branch and start a new topic:
$ hg update default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg topic drinks
$ echo 'apple juice' >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding apple juice'
$ echo 'orange juice' >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding orange juice'
We now have two topics:
$ hg topic
* drinks
tools
The information displayed by ``hg stack`` adapts to the active topic:
$ hg stack
### topic: drinks
### branch: default
t2@ Adding orange juice (current)
t1: Adding apple juice
t0^ adding fruits (base)
$ hg update tools
switching to topic tools
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### branch: default
t3@ Adding drill (current)
t2: Adding saw
t1: Adding hammer
t0^ adding fruits (base)
They are seen as independent branches by Mercurial. No rebase or merge
between them will be attempted by default:
$ hg rebase
nothing to rebase
[1]
Server activity:
$ cd ../server
$ hg update
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ mv shopping foo
$ echo 'Coat' > shopping
$ cat foo >> shopping
$ hg commit -m 'add a coat'
$ echo 'Coat' > shopping
$ echo 'Shoes' >> shopping
$ cat foo >> shopping
$ rm foo
$ hg commit -m 'add a pair of shoes'
$ cd ../client
Let's see what other people did in the meantime:
$ hg pull
pulling from $TESTTMP/server (glob)
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 2 changesets with 2 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
(run 'hg heads' to see heads)
There are new changes! We can simply use ``hg rebase`` to update our
changeset on top of the latest:
$ hg log -G

switching to topic tools
rebasing 7:cffff85af537 "Adding saw"
merging shopping
rebasing 8:34255b455dac "Adding drill"

But what about the other topic? You can use 'hg topic --verbose' to see
information about all the topics:
$ hg topic --verbose
drinks (on branch: default, 2 changesets, 2 behind)
* tools (on branch: default, 3 changesets)
The "2 behind" is telling you that there are 2 new changesets over the base of the topic.
Pushing that topic would create a new head, and therefore will be prevented:
$ hg push --rev drinks
pushing to $TESTTMP/server (glob)

[255]
Even after a rebase, pushing all active topics at the same time will complain
about the multiple heads it would create on that branch:
$ hg rebase -b drinks
rebasing 9:8dfa45bd5e0c "Adding apple juice"
merging shopping
switching to topic drinks
rebasing 10:70dfa201ed73 "Adding orange juice"
merging shopping
switching to topic tools
$ hg push
pushing to $TESTTMP/server (glob)
searching for changes
abort: push creates new remote head 4cd7c1591a67!
(merge or see 'hg help push' for details about pushing new heads)
[255]
Publishing only one of them is allowed (as long as it does not create a new
branch head as we just saw in the previous case):
$ hg push -r drinks

Working Within Your Stack
===========================
Navigating within your stack
----------------------------
As we saw before `stack` displays changesets on your current topic in a clean way:
$ hg topics --verbose
* tools (on branch: default, 3 changesets, 2 behind)
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### branch: default, 2 behind
t3@ Adding drill (current)
t2: Adding saw
t1: Adding hammer
t0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
You can navigate in your current stack with `previous` and `next`.
`previous` will takes you to the parent of your working directory parent on the same topic.
$ hg previous
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
[14] Adding saw
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### branch: default, 2 behind
t3: Adding drill
t2@ Adding saw (current)
t1: Adding hammer
t0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
`next` will moves take you to the children of your working directory parent on the same topic.
$ hg next
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
[15] Adding drill
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### branch: default, 2 behind
t3@ Adding drill (current)
t2: Adding saw
t1: Adding hammer
t0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
You can also directly access changesets within your stack with the revset `t#`.
$ hg update t1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### branch: default, 2 behind
t3: Adding drill
t2: Adding saw
t1@ Adding hammer (current)
t0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
Editing your work mid-stack
---------------------------
It's easy to edit your work inside your stack:
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### branch: default, 2 behind
t3: Adding drill
t2: Adding saw
t1@ Adding hammer (current)
t0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
$ hg amend -m "Adding hammer to the shopping list"
2 new orphan changesets
Understanding the current situation with hg log is not so easy:
$ hg log -G -r "t0::"

Fortunately stack shows you a better visualization:
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### branch: default, 2 behind
t3$ Adding drill (unstable)
t2$ Adding saw (unstable)
t1@ Adding hammer to the shopping list (current)
t0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
It's easy to stabilize the situation, `next` has an `--evolve` option:
$ hg next --evolve
move:[14] Adding saw
atop:[18] Adding hammer to the shopping list
working directory now at d5c51ee5762a
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### branch: default, 2 behind
t3$ Adding drill (unstable)
t2@ Adding saw (current)
t1: Adding hammer to the shopping list
t0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
One more to go:
$ hg next --evolve
move:[15] Adding drill
atop:[19] Adding saw
working directory now at bae3758e46bf
$ hg stack
### topic: tools
### branch: default, 2 behind
t3@ Adding drill (current)
t2: Adding saw
t1: Adding hammer to the shopping list
t0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
Let's take a look at `hg log` once again:

Multi-headed stack
------------------
Stack is also very helpful when you have a multi-headed stack:
$ hg up t1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ echo "nails" > new_shopping
$ cat shopping >> new_shopping
$ mv new_shopping shopping
$ hg commit -m 'Adding nails'
$ hg stack
### topic: tools (2 heads)
### branch: default, 2 behind
t4: Adding drill
t3: Adding saw
t1^ Adding hammer to the shopping list (base)
t2@ Adding nails (current)
t1: Adding hammer to the shopping list
t0^ add a pair of shoes (base)
Solving this situation is easy with a topic: use merge or rebase.
Merge within a multi-headed stack will use the other topic head as
redestination if the topic has multiple heads.

Collaborating through a non-publishing server
========================--===================
.. setup:
.. Let's create a non-publishing server:
$ cd ..
$ hg clone server non-publishing-server
updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd non-publishing-server
$ cat >> .hg/hgrc << EOF
> [phases]
> publish = false
> EOF
.. And another client:
$ cd ..
$ hg clone server other-client
updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd client
We can now share these draft changesets:
$ hg push ../non-publishing-server -r tools
pushing to ../non-publishing-server
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 4 changesets with 4 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
8 new obsolescence markers
Pushing the new topic branch to a non publishing server did not require
--force. As long as new heads are on their own topic, Mercurial will not
complain about them.
From another client, we will get them with their topic:
$ cd ../other-client
$ hg pull ../non-publishing-server
pulling from ../non-publishing-server
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 4 changesets with 4 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
8 new obsolescence markers
(run 'hg heads' to see heads)
$ hg topics --verbose

$ hg up tools
