hgweb.manifest: revno of manifest and changelog aren't always the same In the v4l-dvb repo, the manifest revno and the changelog revno are not in sync. This happened because the same patch was applied to the same revision in two different branches, resulting in the same manifest text, with the same parents and so the first revision was reused. Since hgweb.manifest was assuming the revnos of the manifest and of the changelog were always the same, clicking on manifest -> bz2 in the v4l-dvb site would download the wrong revision. Use the linkrev to go from manifest revision to changelog revision. This still won't be perfect since the page will still talk about "manifest for changeset XYZ", where XYZ was the first changeset to have this manifest, which is not necessarily the same changeset that the user clicked to get to this page - but at least the contents will be the same.

A simple testing framework

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
python run-tests.py

This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes
them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is
run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.

A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output
matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in
test-<x>.err.

There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when
writing tests:

- hg commit and hg merge want user interaction

  for commit use -m "text"
  for hg merge, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)

- changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make
  things like hg history output change

  use commit -m "test" -u test -d "1000000 0"

- diff will show the current time

  use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\) [a-zA-Z0-9_/.-]*\).*/\1/" to strip
  dates
