Some systems show "Thu Jan 01" instead of "Thu Jan 1", which breaks tests.
Using "1000000" yields "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970", which looks the same on
all systems.
- rename mode to branch_merge
- use explicit update mode
- use negative mtime for updates that set mtime
- expand some cryptic variable names
- elaborate merge dirstate comments
- remove redundant manifest lookup for non-merge case
- remove impossible merge case
- fix up test cases
Since switching to the multihead approach, we've been creating
excessive file-level merges where files are marked as merged with
their ancestors.
This explicitly checks at commit time whether the two parent versions
are linearly related, and if so, reduces the file check-in to a
non-merge. Then the file is compared against the remaining parent,
and, if equal, skips check-in of that file (as it's not changed).
Since we're not checking in all files that were different between
versions, we no longer need to mark so many files for merge. This
removes most of the 'm' state marking as well.
Finally, it is possible to do a tree-level merge with no file-level
changes. This will happen if one user changes file A and another
changes file B. Thus, if we have have two parents, we allow commit to
proceed even if there are no file-level changes.
