Previously it was impossible to graft a commit onto it's own parent (i.e. create
a copy of the commit). This is useful when wanting to create a backup of the
commit before continuing to amend it. This patch enables that behavior.
The change to the histedit test is because histedit uses graft to apply commits.
The test in question moves a commit backwards onto an ancestor. Since the graft
logic now more explicitly supports this, it knows to simply accept the incoming
changes (since they are more recent), instead of prompting.
This broke some internal automation that was quite reasonably checking for
unresolved files as a way to determine whether a merge happened cleanly. We
still abort for resolve --mark etc.
The resolve command is only relevant when mergestate is present.
This patch will make resolve abort when no mergestate is present.
This change will let people know when they are using resolve when they
shouldn't be. This change will let people know when their use of resolve
doesn't do anything.
Previously, |hg resolve -m| would allow mergestate to be created. This
patch now forbids that. Strictly speaking, this is backwards
incompatible. The author of this patch believes creating mergestate via
resolve doesn't make much sense and this side-effect was unintended.
This is simpler than temporary file version. There some minor test
changes since commit messages are no longer modifed. There is still
some tests using --commands with a real file.
The old and fragile patching logic is replaced by smart merges (as rebase and
graft do). This should prevents some conflicts and smoother human resolution.
For this purpose the "foldchanges" function is renamed to "applychanges" and
handle a single revision only.
