branchmap: move validity logic in the object itself In several place, We check if a branchcache is still valid regarding the current state of the repository. This changeset puts this logic in a method of the object that can be reused when necessary. A branch map is considered valid whenever it is up to date or a strict subset of the repository state. The change will help making branchcache aware of filtered revision. The change in keyword is expected. the branch cache is actually invalid after the amend. The previous check did not detected it.

run-tests: fix whitespace nonsense [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: on windows, put correct python at front of PATH The older approach of trying to copy the python executable into the test directory was doomed to fail. There remains one weakness with this approach: if you've run "make local", tests may pick up the wrong extension DLLs from inside the source tree. I don't know why this happens. A reasonable workaround for now is to test either using --local or with a working directory that does not contain built DLLs. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: support running tests in parallel on windows Previously, we used os.spawnvp, which doesn't exist on Windows, and isn't needed anyway (the command line begins with an absolute path). We also need a slightly more convoluted way to wait for processes without specifying an order on Windows, as it lacks os.wait. [ 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 ]
