uncommit: don't lose copy information of remaining files (issue5403) As reported in the issue, "hg uncommit" would lose copy information of the files that remained in the commit. The problem was simply that the a dict of copies was iterated as "src, dst in copies.items()" where it should have been "dst, src ...".

fold: cleanly abort on empty fold set (issue5453) We now handle the empty set case, cleanly aborting instead of crashing with a traceback. The message used match the output of 'hg push' in similar situation.

README: update changelog

fold: require --from flag for folding revisions to working copy It's very easy to think that "hg fold 4::6" will fold exactly those revisions. In reality, it will fold those *and* any revisions between them and the working copy. To prevent users from making that mistake, require the use of a new --from flag for folding revisions from the given set to the working copy. With this change, I'm sure some users will be surprised that the command can not be run without either --from or --exact, but at least the consequences will be smaller (the command simply aborts and the user can try again).

fold: use 'fold', not 'touch', for transaction description

tests: fix tests to reflect hg core changes In f05ede08dcf7d13794ccc9abb53877a50bf2b58b in core hg there were changes to changeset_printer.

prune: improve error message if unstable changes are disallowed I saw a question on stackoverflow why evolve reports something like cannot fold chain not ending with head. Even I was confused the first time about the behavior. The error message can be improved to avoid confusion to people who are unaware about the config in future.

wireproto: chunking and compression is forthwith to be handled by hgweb Various functions disappeared in the process. Use the new streamres API but fall back to the old way if the keyword arguments are not accepted. See https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/rev/2add671bf55b

readme: fix the test run command As we use the run-tests.py in Mercurial, we do not need to specify the path to a Mercurial utility.

Manifest.in: exclude unshipped extensions Many extensions life in the repository without being shipped we exclude them from the dist tarball.

Manifest.in: include Manifest.in Apparently this file should be in the tarball.

Manifest.in: exclude debian related file The debian rules life in the repository for convenience, however they should not be included in the dist tarball.
