blackbox extension

log repository events to a blackbox for debugging

Logs event information to .hg/blackbox.log to help debug and diagnose problems. The events that get logged can be configured via the blackbox.track and blackbox.ignore config keys.

Examples:

[blackbox]
track = *
ignore = pythonhook
# dirty is *EXPENSIVE* (slow);
# each log entry indicates `+` if the repository is dirty, like :hg:`id`.
dirty = True
# record the source of log messages
logsource = True

[blackbox]
track = command, commandfinish, commandexception, exthook, pythonhook

[blackbox]
track = incoming

[blackbox]
# limit the size of a log file
maxsize = 1.5 MB
# rotate up to N log files when the current one gets too big
maxfiles = 3

[blackbox]
# Include microseconds in log entries with %f (see Python function
# datetime.datetime.strftime)
date-format = %Y-%m-%d @ %H:%M:%S.%f
