packaging: mark as version 6.3.1.dev This reduce confusion when installing version from source.

readme: clarify the branch policy

Added tag 6.3.0 for changeset 6da4ca7b3e4f

packaging: prepare release 6.3.0

test-compat: merge with mercurial-3.9

test-compat: merge with mercurial-4.0 branch The new 'olog' command is not working with 3.9 so we skill all mentions of it in the tests. This also apply to the topic extensions.

test-compat: merge with mercurial-4.1 hg log has no trouble field in mercurial 4.0, output fixed.

test-compat: merge with stable Nothing special to report, minor test-metaedit.t output change.

merge with default

compat: fix stablerange for mercurial 3.9 Lrudict.get change of api between mercurial 3.9 and mercurial 4.2. Bypass this limitation by using lrudict.__getitem__ and catch the KeyError directly.

template: fix successors and precursors templates In mercurial 4.1-, the gen argument is expected to be an iterator and not an iterable, fix successors and precursors templates.

lint: remove double newline in test file Test file test-stablesort-criss-cross.t contained two double newline, I remove them.

template: fix precursors template for older mercurial version In mercurial 4.1 and below templatekw._hybrid require the gen argument to be different than None. Manually compute the same default output for these older mercurial versions.

compatibility: backport mercurial 176d1a0ce385 Backport obsstore.relevantmarkers change for including previously forgotten pruned obs markers. Target mercurial version lesser than 4.3. This impact multiple tests. All test changes has been manually checked. Since the computation of relevant obsmarkers have changed, we are bumping the cache schema version. So that caches get recomputed.

evolve: fix import order

compat: adapt to buildobsmarkerspart move The function has been moved in e70d6dbde713 so we must we search in both location.

effetflag: detect other meta (extra) changes Check other changeset meta other than branch and *_source and if there is a change, set the METACHANGED effect flag. Add a test for this scenario with a topic change.

obsdiscovery: add an option to disable all obsdiscovery On large repository, computing the obshashtree can we as slow as resending everything. We give the option for people to opt out.

effectflag: better diff detection Improve the diff detection algorithm to have less false positive like in the case of a rebase that move the hunk in the file but the hunk stays the same.

effectflag: add a test for content detection Add a test for diff detection when the diff is different but only because of line numbers. The test is a append at the end of the file and we try to rebase it. We shouldn't detect a content change, it will be done in the next patch.

test: fix test-evolve-effectflags dates Mercurial < 4.3 don't have default date so add globs in the test-metaedit.t file.

test: fix metaedit tests by forcing dates Mercurial < 4.3 don't have default date so restore aliases forcing date in the test-metaedit.t file.

test: split test-stablesort.t in two This is the longest running test so we split it in two to help with parallel execution.

obsdiscovery: automatically pick protocol in a list This makes the code cleaner, clearer and more flexible. This also prepare the ability to disable obsmarkers discover entirely.
