Note:

This page is primarily intended for developers of Mercurial.

This is done.

Rationale

We've been accumulating functionality that the average user probably wants on by default, but can't always turn on by default due to our compatibility rules. The idea of "Friendly HG" is to give us an opt-in way for users to request our best features as they become polished and ready, even in cases where that violates some of our compatibility rules.

Name

[ui]
tweakdefaults = yes

Rejected alternatives: friendly, progressive: These have negative implications we don't particularly like.

modernize: nobody liked this.

Proposed Items

  • grep should search working copy by default (obsoleted by GrepPlan)

  • show renames and copies in status (done)
  • color (on by default globally)
  • completely remove all traces of the rollback command (done)
  • diff.git=1 (done)
    • needs an easy way to disable when it breaks something
  • diff.showfunc=1
    • needs an easy way to disable when it breaks something
  • eradicate all instances of the word tip (tip command, tip pseudo-tag)

  • change default ui.interface to curses

  • hg log gains a default of --follow

Ideas for later

  • hg update gains a default of --check (done)

  • disallow bare hg push

  • terse status

    • not ready yet: has weird bugs, needs more discussion.
  • mergemarkers.detailed
    • Risky on some non-English systems

Implementation

This would change some defaults, but users can still override things (for example, if we include pager, durin42 and mpm can put [extensions] pager = ! in their hgrc.) HGPLAIN would disable all default-changes from friendlyhg, so automation tooling still works as expected.

Jun: since the config is likely to be a set of individual configs. It may be better to be implemented as a rc file. So %include friendly is the way to use it. The rc could also enable pager, color, rebase, histedit extensions etc. Augie: I'm strongly opposed to this approach.
