run-tests: fix an unnoticed check-code violation [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: add a --compiler option Without this option, it is not possible to run the test suite on Windows using mingw's gcc as the compiler. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: make build command line less intimidating Use a dict for parameters to the format string, instead of a ridiculous number of positional parameters. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: backout 4a4173519b63 This deleted work in progress to eliminate child processes for -j. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests.py: remove runqueue's results parameter since it is now a global [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: open child-parent pipes in binary mode Python's pickle is a binary format. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: add --time option to log times for each test --time also prints out the wall-clock time each test takes in descending order. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: remove resultslock since it serves no useful purpose Each child process has its own copy of the results dict, so all access to the results dict is serial. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: use pickle to send results from children to parent JSON would probably be preferable, but it isn't available for Python 2.4 or 2.5. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: remove dead code for supporting old test scripts [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: handle windows crlf in .py tests again Before af7c6bc48d8d all crlf occurrences in test output on Windows were simply changed to lf. In af7c6bc48d8d it was replaced by more clever handling in the .t test runner ... but the .py runner was forgotten and many .py tests were failing on Windows. The crlf/lf replacement is now reintroduced in the py test runner. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: make it possible to combine (esc) with (glob) and (re) This makes it possible to combine the annotations ... if done in the right order. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: alternative way of handling \r on Windows After f71d60da58fb all \r was stripped from output on Windows, and the places where a \r explicitly was expected it was accepted that it was missing. Ugly hack. Instead we now accept that an extra \r might appear at the end of lines on Windows. That is more to the point and less ugly. [ original upstream message ]

amend: add noise in extra to avoid creating obsolescence cycle (issue3664) Obsolescence cycle are bad and should be avoided as much as possible. The current amend implemented touch changeset meta data as few as possible. This make is easy for amend to result in the same node than a precursors. We add some deterministic noise in extra to avoid this. In practice, the hex of the amended changeset is stored in 'amend_source' extra key. [ original upstream message ]
