Please sync mercurial 0.9.1-1 (universe) from Debian Sid (main)

[Daniel T Chen]

This sync is necessary for bug 58697.

There are no Ubuntu changes to override. The following changes are in the updated Debian version:

mercurial (0.9.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    Major changes between Mercurial 0.9 and 0.9.1:

     New features:
     - You can now configure your 'hgweb' server to let remote users
       'push' changes over http.
     - You can now 'import' a patch in a mail message by saving the mail
       message, and importing it. This works for patches sent either
       inline or as attachments.
     - The 'diff' command now accepts '-rA:B' syntax as a synonym for
       '-r A -r B', and adds '-b' and '-B' options.

     New contributions and extensions:
     - The 'acl' extension lets you lock down parts of a repository
       against incoming changes
     - The 'extdiff' extension lets you run your favourite graphical
       change viewer
     - Comprehensive integration with the 'vim' editor
     - A restricted shell for 'ssh'-hosted repositories
     - An importer for 'darcs' repositories

     New hooks added:
     - 'preupdate' is run before an update or merge in the working
       directory.
     - 'update' is run after an update or merge in the working
       directory.

     Behaviour changes:
     - NOTE: Mercurial as installed by the Windows binary
       installer no longer performs automatic line-ending conversion for
       Unix/Linux compatibility. To re-enable this feature, edit your
       'mercurial.ini' file after you upgrade.
     - The Windows binary installer now automatically adds 'hg' to your
       '%PATH%'.
     - The 'backout' command now runs an editor by default, to let you
       modify the commit message for a backed-out changeset.
     - An earlier problem with parsing of tags has been fixed.
       This makes tag parsing slower but more reliable.

     Memory usage and performance improvements:
     - The 'remove' command has been rewritten to be hundreds of times
       faster in large repositories.
     - It is now possible to 'clone' a repository very quickly over a
       LAN, if the server is configured to allow it. See the new 'server'
       section in the 'hgrc' documentation.

     Other changes of note:
     - Mercurial will now print help for an extension if you type 'hg
       help EXT_NAME'.
     - The usual array of bug fixes and documentation improvements.
     - The integrated web server is now more WSGI-compliant.
     - Work has begun to solidify Mercurial's API for use by third-party
       packages.

mercurial (0.9-9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Force the use of python2.4 with a sed command. A race condition on some
    autobuilders makes that workaround needed. (Really closes: #378835)

mercurial (0.9-8) unstable; urgency=low

  * do not use default python but python2.4 instead for hg :
    most code is python2.3 compatible (so we still compile .py files for
    pyhton2.3) but "hg help" need features for python2.4
    Closes: #378835
    Thanks David Douard for reporting this.
  * adding missing manpage hgignore (Closes: #378502)
    Thanks Baruch Even for reporting this.
  * remove hack in postinst (dpkg not replacing directory by symlink) as it is
    no more usefull (directory was in /usr/lib/python2.3, symlink in now in
    /usr/lib/python2.4)
  * Create symlinks for the templates directory within the mercurial directory
    (and not in another python serch path) (Closes: #378538)
