compat: fix argument check for marker reading The previous check was broken for 4.2

cachevfs: use a compatibility later for all access

packaging: prepare version 7.2.0

changelog: prepare for coming release

stablerange: add missing licence and copyright header

obshistory: pass the csets description in getmarkerdescriptionpatch Previous patches removed any use of ctx in the function and we now just need the cset description in the function. Let's pass that only. This will save couple of calls of repo[node].

obshistory: remove the unused function The function is not used anymore.

obslog: add header to the changeset description diff This patch adds `diff -r <hash> -r <hash> <filename>` header to the output of the changeset description diff which is shown using the --patch flag of obslog command. This fixes the label/color issue for description diff also.

obslog: colorize the description diff shown in obslog -p This patch colorizes the description diff shown in `hg obslog -p`. The labels for the header are different from that of the patch as the main header which says `diff -r <somehash> -r <somehash> <filename>`. Next patch will hack to add that.

obslog: colorize the patch shown using `hg obslog -p` This patch adds color support to the patch shown in obslog command.

topic: suggest using topic when user creates a new head on branch This patch adds a message to use topics when user creates a new head on a branch.

changelog: update changelog with some of the benefit from the new format

evolve: use better words in conflict markers of `hg evolve` Though we call merge.graft internally, we still have the functionality to pass the words we want to show up in conflict markers. So let's use better words here.

tests: add a test demonstrating we still use graft in conflict markers This patch adds a test which shows that we still use the word graft in the conflict markers. Next patch will start using evolve instead of graft.

evolve: remove the old functions for writing evolvestate Previous patch made all the users of these functions to use the evolvestate class and now they are not required. Let's remove them.

evolve: use the new evolvestate class in place of old methods Earlier we had three methods, which used to handle all the storage around the evolvestate but in previous patch we have introduced an evolvestate class wrapper which can serve for all our needs. This patch replaces the existing usage of the evolvestate with the new class introduced. Upcoming patches will start using the class at more places.

evolvestate: add a class to wrap the state of `hg evolve` command This patch adds a new file which contains a class which will act as a wrapper for the data to be stored or used during the `hg evolve` command. This patch just introduces the file and does not use it at the moment. The upcoming patches will start using it.
