stack: make a deep copy of `dependencies` before modifying its items
The algorithm later on in this method uses .remove() to remove individual
elements from items in dependencies, which before this patch modified the
cached property contents. So for further use that dictionary was in the form of
{1: set([])}, i.e. all sets were empty.
This deep copy block could be way simpler, but the problem is that sometimes we
get lists of _succs() from evolvebits.builddependencies(). Note: this happens
only in topic's stack version of builddependencies() and it looks like a
suboptimal way to handle multiple successors (see evolve's counterpart
function).
stack.builddependencies method is removed, it has served its purpose (see the
previous patch).
Topic Extension
================
This packages also provides the ``topic`` experiment in an independent
extension. It implements a new experimental concept to provide lightweight
feature branches for the mutable parts of the history. The experiments is still
at an early stage and have significant usability and performance issues when
enabled.
How to Install
==============
The ``topic`` extension is included into the ``evolve` package, so the same instruction apply.
Using Pip
---------
You can install the latest version using pip::
$ pip install --user hg-evolve
Then just enable it in you hgrc::
$ hg config --edit # adds the two line below:
[extensions]
topic =
From Source
-----------
To install a local version from source::
$ hg clone https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/evolve/
$ cd evolve
$ make install-home
Enable
------
The topic extensions is included in the evolve package. See the install instruction for evolve.
Then enable it in you configuration::
$ hg config --edit # adds the two line below:
