With this change, "hg clone" looks like this:
% hg clone http://example.com/repo/big big
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added XXX changesets with XXX changes to XXX files
updating working directory
XXX files updated, XXX files merged, XXX files removed, XXX files unresolved
So the user sees
% hg clone http://example.com/repo/big big
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added XXX changesets with XXX changes to XXX files
updating working directory
while Mercurial is writing to disk to populate the working directory
With this change, "hg clone" looks like this:
% hg clone big big-work
updating working directory
XXX files updated, XXX files merged, XXX files removed, XXX files unresolved
(including small changes to revert and backout to not show these stats
with the exception of backout --merge)
Show update stats (unless -q), e.g.:
K files updated, L files merged, M files removed, N files unresolved
Inform the user what to do after a merge:
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
Inform the user what to do if a branch merge failed:
There are unresolved merges, you can redo the full merge using:
hg update -C X
hg merge Y
Inform the user what to do if a working directory merge failed:
There are unresolved merges with locally modified files.
repo.addchangegroup method now returns number of heads modified and added,
so command line can tell whether update or merge needed. this makes
tiny change to ssh wire protocol, but change is backwards compatible.
pull command now returns 0 if no changes to pull.
- rename mode to branch_merge
- use explicit update mode
- use negative mtime for updates that set mtime
- expand some cryptic variable names
- elaborate merge dirstate comments
- remove redundant manifest lookup for non-merge case
- remove impossible merge case
- fix up test cases
Since switching to the multihead approach, we've been creating
excessive file-level merges where files are marked as merged with
their ancestors.
This explicitly checks at commit time whether the two parent versions
are linearly related, and if so, reduces the file check-in to a
non-merge. Then the file is compared against the remaining parent,
and, if equal, skips check-in of that file (as it's not changed).
Since we're not checking in all files that were different between
versions, we no longer need to mark so many files for merge. This
removes most of the 'm' state marking as well.
Finally, it is possible to do a tree-level merge with no file-level
changes. This will happen if one user changes file A and another
changes file B. Thus, if we have have two parents, we allow commit to
proceed even if there are no file-level changes.

Fix zombie files in merge
Keir Fraser observed the following:
> I made a small test case that illustrates the bug in merging changesets
> with 'hg remove's in them:
>
> 1. Create a repository A containing files foo & bar.
> 2. Create clone called B.
> 3. A removes file bar, and commits this removal.
> 4. B edits file foo, and commits this edit.
>
> Now, if B:
> # hg pull ../A; hg update -m; hg commit
> Then bar remains deleted.
>
> If A:
> # hg pull ../B; hg update -m; hg commit
> Then bar is resurrected!
>
> It looks as though, when you merge across a branch, any deletions in
> your own branch are forgotten.
> ...
> Fixing this is a must, as zombie files are a real pain. :-)
Keir later patched our local copy of hg as shown below, which fixes
the problem. I've also enclosed a test which captures the test Keir
outlined...
Files deleted on a branch should not automatically reappear in a merge
Patch notes:
1. The first chunk does not change behaviour, but cleans up the code
to more closely match check of 'force' in the second chunk. I
think it makes the code clearer.
2. The second chunk fixes two bugs --
i. If we choose to keep a remotely-changed locally-deleted file,
then we need to 'get' that file. If we choose to delete it
then no action need be taken (it is already deleted in the
working manifest). Without this fix, choosing to delete would
get a Python traceback.
ii. The test for whether the file was remotely-created is
insufficient. It is only true if f is not in the common
ancestor. Otherwise the file was deleted locally, and should
remain deleted. (this is the most important fix!)
