The rule has four steps, and the order of the first three is the whole of #36212: an explicit "itemRgb off" wins, then an explicit "itemRgb on" wins, and only then does the presence of a "color" setting turn item colors off by default. 88d620e6c82 folded those tests together, so a stanza saying both "itemRgb on" and "color" -- which means items from the file and labels from color -- lost its item colors. The pairs are what matter here. Every single-setting case passed while the bug was live, so a test that exercised one setting at a time would have proved nothing. A child that says "itemRgb on" under a parent that says "color" is the same case reached through trackDbSettingClosestToHome. Two runs, with and without hg.conf's alwaysItemRgb, since the last step of the rule reads it and a mirror that turns it off must still honour a stanza that asks for item colors explicitly. The test lives in hg/lib/tests because hg/cgilib has no tests directory; its link line adds jkhgapcgi.a. Watched to fail and then pass: with the color test moved back in front of the itemRgb test, three lines flip, and they are the three that pair the two settings.
