Add [merge-tool] hgrc section with:
<tool>.executable = name or path (<tool>)
<tool>.args = args with $local/base/other/output ($local $base $other)
<tool>.priority = priority (default 0)
<tool>.binary = handles binary (False)
<tool>.symlink = handles symlinks (False)
<tool>.checkconflict = check for conflict markers (False)
<tool>.premerge = try internal simplemerge (True if not binary or symlink)
Four built-in tools: internal:{merge,local,other,fail}
Add [merge-patterns] section of the form:
<pattern> = <tool>
Priority of settings is:
HGMERGE
merge-patterns
ui:merge
merge-tools by priority
hgmerge, if it can be found
Changes:
unsuccessful merges leave .orig files
If we know original changeset we are working with - try hard to
preserve it. Fallback to filelog.linkrev() only if we have no way
to get original changeset, since linkrev() may point to other
changeset.
When merging rev1 and rev2, we want to search for copies that happened
in rev1 but not in rev2 and vice-versa. We were starting the search at
rev1/rev2 and then going back, stopping as soon as we reached the revno
of the ancestor, but that can miss some cases (see the new
test-issue672).
Now we calculate the revisions that are ancestors of rev1 or rev2 (but
not both) and make sure the search doesn't stop too early.
Simplified test provided by mpm, based on a test case provided by
Edward Lee.
