test-compat: merge mercurial-4.7 into mercurial-4.6

test-compat: merge stable into mercurial-4.7

changelog: add information about the topic message improvements

branching: merge with stable

evolve: update the abort to a ProgrammingError This error should be a ProgrammingError and as Pierre-Yves David said ProgrammingError type did not existed when this code was written, so lets update this now.

topics: improve the message around topic changing The new message says 'cleared' when topic name is cleared, if we change to a new topic name, it mentions the new topic name too.

tests: fix for POSIX compliance * Mac ls will exit with a different message and exit code [1], replace with grep (which is what mercurial tests do) * POSIX echo has no -n switch, use printf instead

style: remove unused variables Both `as e` references are not used and can go.

evolve: fix a documentation typo

compat: drop 4.3 related obsfate code All the necessary piece are supported starting 4.4.

compat: drop code dealing with incompatibility for --publish with 4.3 We dropped 4.3 support.

compat: clarify when some conditional are used The middle condition was an intermediate state that never existed into a release. We can safely drop it.

compat: drop 4.3 "new troubles" report code This is supported natively for Mercurial 4.4 and above.

compat: drop 4.3 wrapping of createmarker for effect flag support This is supported natively in 4.4 and above.

compat: drop 4.3 monkey patch of `copies.mergecopies`

compat: drop 4.3 compatiblity code for `obsutil.allprecursors` function

compat: drop 4.3 compatiblity code for `ui.edit` method

compat: drop 4.3 compatiblity code for 'successors' revset

compat: drop 4.3 compatiblity code for 'precursors' revset

compat: drop Mercurial 4.3 support for exthelper The last release email noted plans to drop 4.3 and 4.4 support in the next feature release. I'd like to move this code into core, and dropping this should allow the class to be copied in unmodified.

compat: update metadata about minimum ag version

next: solve the issue of `next` get confused by split This patch solve a problem of next command which get confused by split. Let me describe how it was getting confused: Initial state of repo: A---B---C After splitting B to (B1,B2): @ A---B1---B2 \ ---B---C X * (note: C is orphan; checkedout to B1) Lets make an amend on B1: @ B1' / A---B1---B2 \ X * \ ---B---C X * Now, if run `hg next` (--evolve is True by default now): $ it would give you choice to choose from B2 and C thinking that C could also be a possbile children for B1, instead of stablizing B2 on B1. I fixed this problem by filtering those aspiring children which can be stablized on one of the aspiring children itself. Changes made in test-prev-next.t shows the changed expected behaviour.

next: add test which shows that `next` get confused by split

cleanup: avoid a Yoda condition

evolve: modify and move the comment to appropriate position

next: update the command description Now, if necessary next command evolve the next child revision by defualt. You don't need to pass the --evolve flag.

next: make next command --evolve by default Before this patch, if we need to evolve to update to the next child, we were suggesting the user to use --evolve flag. This patch make some changes to evolve by default in that conditions. After making next command to evolve by default we have to consider the following points: 1) If we don't need to evolve while updating to the next child: a) And if wdir is dirty, we suggest to use --merge flag b) if wdir is clean, we simply update to next child (if ambiguous, prompt the user to select one) 2) If we need to evolve: a) when wdir is dirty, we suggest the user to use `hg shelve` first, to make wdir clean. As we don't support --merge while evovling. b) when wdir is clean, we evolve the next cset. Changes made in test-prev-next.t reflect the changed behaviour.

safeguard: allow push to succeed (and without warning) with --publish

topic: only add --publish flag to push if it's not already there

safeguard: check auto-publish value before sending listkeys command Always sending listkeys command is just wasteful, let's first make sure users even care about auto-publish behavior.
