tests: abstract version number for test-topic-stack.t Using explicite version number always bring trouble, this is why we have unique description that can select changesets.

evolve: use registrar.templatekeyword to register template keyword functions Now, using registrar.templatekeyword of Mercurial directly in evolve extension should be safe enough. because it has been available since Mercurial 3.8, and minimum Mercurial version for evolve extension is 3.8, too. BTW, this also fixes an issue of "hg help templates" output that template keywords "precursors" and "successors" are not displayed as same as others, because they do not have ":KEYWORD:" prefix in their docstring.

evolve: use registrar.revsetpredicate to register revset predicate functions Now, using registrar.revsetpredicate of Mercurial directly in evolve extension should be safe enough. because it has been available since Mercurial 3.8, and minimum Mercurial version for evolve extension is 3.8, too.

topic: use registrar.revsetpredicate to register revset predicate functions Now, using registrar.revsetpredicate of Mercurial directly in topic extension should be safe enough. because it has been available since Mercurial 3.8, and minimum Mercurial version for topic extension is 4.0. This patch also removes modsetup() in topic/revset.py, because it is useless. BTW, this patch fixes an issue of "hg help revsets" output that custom revset predicates are not displayed as same as others, because they are not "inline literal" in reST syntax (``NAME``).

doc: make paragraphs before example code end with "::" for reST syntax This prevents lines in an example code from being treated as a part of normal paragraph. For issue example, lines are folded into one paragraph.

topic: centralize compatibility logic between hg versions into compat module This patch can delay loading obsutil and obsolete modules until they are actually used at "hg topics" or so, if demandimport of Mercurial is enabled.

readme: mention the improvement to stack in the readme

test: issue a clarifying graph print in tests/test-stack-branch.t

stack: properly order stack when gaps existing inside it We transitively search for the next "stack" ancestors, of changeset in the stack not based on other revision of the stack. This should help having a consistent display when topic are interleaved.

stack: display both parent with displaying merge This will help understanding merge in the stack. More test involving merge are adding in the next changeset.

tests: add tests for showing stack when merge is involved This patch adds tests of showing stack when merges are involved. This will help us in changing the behaviour and realising that in later patches.

stack: move data computation on the object We gather multiple data about the stack on the object. Let us move this on the object and keep it cached there.

stack: replace 'getstack' with direct call to 'stack' The dedicated function do not add any value. We can update all the callers.

stack: introduce a rich stack object The logic around stack object become more and more complex. We great and object to gather and abstract it.

tests: add tests for `hg stack` showing surprising behavior with gaps The test will help us to analyse in next commit if the things are fixed or not.
