Summary:
`lfs` is the better large file solution. `largefiles` is rarely used, and
its implementation is less clean. So let's remove it.
Test Plan:
Ran all tests. A subrepo test was removed instead of cleaned up since the
longer term plan is to also drop subrepo support.

When unquoted, MSYS sees the colon between the drive letter and path as a Unix
path separator and unhelpfully splits on it, feeding only the drive letter as
the command. Much chaos ensues.
I vaguely remember trying to get the test runner to use /letter/path/to/exe
syntax the last time this happened, without success. I doubt a check-code rule
would work, since sometimes it is quoted, and sometimes the quotes are escaped.
This is a backout of 93589179c542, and a partial backout of 9b1628b91e74.
Windows won't execute 'dummyssh' directly, presumably because CreateProcess()
doesn't know how to execute a bash script:
$ hg clone -e "dummyssh" ssh://user@dummy/cloned sshclone
remote: 'dummyssh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
remote: operable program or batch file.
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!
[255]
With the restoration of python as the executable, $TESTDIR needs to be restored
for these invocations, because python won't search $PATH for 'dummyssh':
$ hg clone -e "python dummyssh" ssh://user@dummy/cloned sshclone
remote: python: can't open file 'dummyssh': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!

The immediate crash was when checking for requirements immediately after this,
but lfcommands.downloadlfiles() will also crash if --all-largefiles is
specified. That has been in place since atleast e01343f7da6f (2.3-rc) without
anyone noticing.
I can't tell from the peer classes if there's a way to make the custom largefile
functionality work in this case, but atleast it doesn't crash.
We need to explicitly push all local bookmarks when doing the clone from a local
repo to a remote one through ssh. This will let us remove the manual export of
bookmarks in clone and rely on the official exchange in push and pull instead.
Running perfmoonwalk on the Mercurial repo (with almost 20,000 changesets) on

We may want to change the default size in the future based on testing and
user feedback.
- Mac OS X has problems with filenames starting with '._'
(e.g. '.FOO' -> '._f_o_o' is now encoded as '~2e_f_o_o')
- Explorer of Windows Vista and Windows 7 strip leading spaces of
path elements of filenames when copying trees
Above problems are avoided by encoding the first space (as '~20') or
period (as '~2e') of all path elements.
This introduces a new entry 'dotencode' in .hg/requires, that is,
a new repository filename layout (inside .hg/store).
Newly created repositories require 'dotencode' by default. Specifying
[format]
dotencode = False
in a config file will use the old format instead.
Prior Mercurial versions will abort with the message
abort: requirement 'dotencode' not supported!
when trying to access a local repository that requires 'dotencode'.
New 'dotencode' repositories can be converted to the previous
repository format with
hg --config format.dotencode=0 clone --pull repoA repoB
Most commands expands configured paths when repositories are specified, just as
the urls help says. Clone also expands the destination path. Clone is morally
equivalent to init + push/pull, so init should also expand the destination path
- and that is what this patch makes it do.
There is no really good usecases for this and in most cases it doesn't matter,
but consistency is nice, and otherwise we would have to document the exception.
Many tests fixed the commit date of their changesets at '1000000 0' or
similar. However testing with "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970 +0000" is not
better than testing with "Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000", which is
the default run-tests.py installs.
Removing the unnecessary flag removes some clutter and will hopefully
make it clearer what the tests are really trying to test. Some tests
did not even change their output when the dates were changed, in which
case the -d flag was truly irrelevant.
Dates used in sequence (such as '0 0', '1 0', etc...) were left alone
since they may make the test easier to understand.
