New behavior is generally superior and more correct, except possibly
with regards to missing files. hg up . is now effectively a no-op,
which is probably the desired behavior for people expecting to move to
tip, but may surprise people who were expecting deleted files to
reappear.
case 1: update to .
a-w -> a-w
classic: ancestor a
missing recreated right?
rmed recreated WRONG
added forgotten WRONG
changed preserved RIGHT
conflicted can't happen
backward merge: ancestor a (NO EFFECT)
missing missing wrong?
rm'ed rm'ed RIGHT
added preserved RIGHT
changed preserved RIGHT
conflicted can't happen
case 2: update to ancestor of .
a-b-w -> b-w
\
a
classic: ancestor a
missing recreated right?
rmed recreated wrong?
added forgotten wrong?
changed preserved RIGHT
conflicted preserved wrong?
backwards merge: ancestor b
missing missing or conflict right?
rm'ed missing or conflict right?
changed preserved RIGHT
conflicted merge RIGHT
added preserved right?
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
