These slashes are a hangover from issue3612, fixed in d5787cfaa7cf.
Although the bugfix in that commit is correct, the test it adds
does not replicate the conditions for the bug correctly.
convert doesn't normalise double slashes in paths. Path normalization
is applied when a path is loaded into filemap and when a file lookup
request is issued to filemap.
When the source repository had a revision renaming "$new -> $old",
but the filemap a "$old -> $new" rename, the converted revision could
use either $new (deleting the file) or $old (keeping the file) when
getting the file data, depending on the lexicographical order of
those names. So the resulting revision would leave some files
untouched (as expected), but delete others arbitrarely.
When running convert with a filemap, merge parents which are ancestors
of other parents are ignored. This is hardly a problem when parents
belong to the same branch, but the result could be confusing when named
branches are involved. With:
-o-a1-a2-a3... <- A
\ \
b1-b2-b3...-m- <- B
If all b* revisions are discarded, it is useful to preserve 'm' even if
it is empty after filtering to record the branch switch.
This patch makes filemap preserve "ancestor parents" if there is no
"non-ancestor parent" on the same branch than the merge revision.
Remarks:
- I am not completely convinced by the reasons given above and those
detailed by Matt in this thread:
http://selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2012-May/040627.html
The properties we try to preserve are not clearly defined. That said,
I know this patch already helped someone on IRC and the tests output
look reasonable.
- This is a new version of the original "convert: filemap must preserve
fast-forward merges" patch. It has exactly the same output for 2
parents merges, the additional complexity is here to handle more than
two parents.
The previous behaviour was almost as if convert.hg.ignoreerrors was always set
for revisions without parents, except that errors were silently ignored. Revlog
errors are handled as a side effect of getcopies(), but getcopies() was only
called when convert.hg.ignoreerrors was set.
Now we always call self.getcopies for root revisions, not only when
convert.hg.ignoreerrors is set, just like we do on all other revisions.
The extra call might be a bit expensive, but the proper fix for that would be
to catch these errors in another way.
