On Windows, Vim and Nvim can't work with mklink'ed paths. Issue an error message
and bail out before starting the actual job when the directory can't be changed.
Fixes https://github.com/mhinz/vim-signify/issues/279
Mercurial used to enable colors via an extension. Nowadays that is not true
anymore and `extensions.color=!` is rendered useless. Use the omnipresent
`--color=never` instead.
`defaults` is deprecated in favor of `aliases`. We use `aliases.diff=` to force
the use of the standard diff behaviour of `hg diff` which is the same as from
GNU diff. Otherwise an external diff tool could produce output that signify does
not understand.
Refrences #272
Commit cc2b17d462 removed the '&&' used to check whether the p4 info command succeeded. This caused incorrect invocation of the p4 diff command.
Add back the check for p4 info command success.
Prior to this commit the command invoked was:
p4 info >/dev/null 2>&1 env P4DIFF= P4COLORS= p4 diff -du0
This commit makes the invocation as:
p4 info >/dev/null 2>&1 && env P4DIFF= P4COLORS= p4 diff -du0
On Unix, many people use P4DIFF=colordiff to get colored diff output with `p4
diff`. But our diff parser doesn't expect these escape sequences used for
coloring.
We now simply use empty $P4DIFF and $P4COLORS to be on the safe side.

Windows doesn't know about the `env` program.
Apart from that, using an external diff tool is not even needed anymore, since
`p4 diff` itself supports unified diffs nowadays.
Assume a hg repo below a git repo. `git diff` on a file managed by hg, will
return a successful exit value, but no output.
So, if we got a successful exit value from multiple VCS tools, and none of them
gave any output, keep them all as potential candidates. The next time Sy is run,
only these candidates will be tested again.
If one of them returns a proper diff, set b:sy.updated_by to that VCS and prune
all other candidates.
References #235
All VCS assume slightly different things where things have to be if you're in
this directory using that command etc.
Changing to the directory of the current file avoids many pitfalls.
When you have nested repos of different VCS and you edit a file from the inner
repo, more than one VCS can return a valid diff. Only one VCS should return a
non-empty diff, though.
Once a non-empty diff is found, all other VCS get disabled to reduce overhead.
References #235.
Before this change, it was possible that a buffer was disabled, when Sy was run
more than once at startup, e.g. because of `BufEnter` and `FocusGained`.
The first call would start the detection and the second call would disable the
buffer, because the first call hadn't changed the VCS type from "unknown" yet.
To avoid issues for Vim versions between 7.4.1966 and 7.4.2071, we now use
type() to distinguish between the type of variable `job_id` being either Number
or Job.
