Show messages at a point where the actions have been sorted, thus preparing for
backout of 14f4258e3526.
This makes manifestmerge more of a silent operation, just like 'copies' is.
Indent 'preserving' messages to make them subordinate to the action logging so
they fit in the new context. (The 'preserving' messages are quite redundant and
could also be removed completely.)
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.
Many tests didn't change back from subdirectories at the end of the tests ...
and they don't have to. The missing 'cd ..' could always be added when another
test case is added to the test file.
This change do that tests (99.5%) consistently end up in $TESTDIR where they
started, thus making it simpler to extend them or move them around.
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.
Without specifying the parent revision of the working copy, users will
update to tip, which is most likely the other head they were trying to
merge, not the revision they were at before the merge.
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.
