When the progress extension is not enabled, each call to 'ui.progress' used to
issue a debug message. This results is a very verbose output and often redundant
in tests. Dropping it makes tests less volatile to factor they do not meant to
test.
We had to alter the sed trick in 'test-rename-merge2.t'. Sed is used to drop all
output from a certain point and hidding the progress output remove its anchor.
So we anchor on something else.
Quite a few tests fail in noisy but meaningless ways when the test suite
is run with generaldelta enabled:
./run-tests.py --extra-config-opt=format.generaldelta=1
This reduces the amount of noise introduced by the debugindex command,
the main source of differences. In my environment, when testing with
generaldelta enabled, this change reduces the number of completely
failing tests from 21 to 8.
For filelogs, debugindex and debugdata can be called with the file name
directly instead of the path to the revlog. Since in the future filelogs
will no longer be valid revlogs, calling with a path to the revlog is
deprecated for debugdata. For debugindex it is expected to still work,
but I changed them as well for consistency.
