When both '.' (the working copy root) and an explicit file (or files)
are in match.files(), we only walk the explicitly listed files. This
is because we remove the '.' from the set too early. Move later and
add a test for it. Before this change, the last test would print only
"3".
The previous documentation pointed to the export command, but even if the user
recognized that instead of only reading the cat specific list of rules, not all
of the export rules applied anyway (specifically %N, %n and %m). The new items
are a copy/paste from export's list. These rules have existed since at least
version 0.5.
Note that %m gets substituted with 'None' because the commit message isn't
passed to cmdutil.makefilename(). %R and %r are currently effectively the same,
since no revwidth is passed, however they both work.
There aren't any existing tests for these rules, so they are added to prevent
future regression.
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.
