The original issue was something like:
$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ mkdir D
$ echo a > D/a
$ hg ci -Am adda
adding D/a
$ mv D temp
$ mv temp d
$ echo b > d/b
$ hg add d/b
adding D/b
$ hg ci -m addb
$ hg mv d/b d/c
moving D/b to d/c
$ hg st
A d/c
R D/b
Here we expected:
A D/c
R D/b
the logic being we try to preserve case of path components already known in the
dirstate. This is fixed by the current patch.
Note the following stories are not still not supported:
Changing directory case
$ hg mv D d
moving D/a to D/D/a
moving D/b to D/D/b
$ hg st
A D/D/a
A D/D/b
R D/a
R D/b
or:
$ hg mv D/* d
D/a: not overwriting - file exists
D/b: not overwriting - file exists
And if they were, there are probably similar issues with diffing/patching.
on icasefs, "hg qnew" fails to import changing letter case of filename
already occurred in working directory, for example:
$ hg rename a tmp
$ hg rename tmp A
$ hg qnew casechange
$ hg status
R a
$
"hg qnew" invokes 'dirstate.walk()' via 'localrepository.commit()'
with 'exact match' matching object having exact filenames of targets
in ones 'files()'.
current implementation of 'dirstate.walk()' always normalizes letter
case of filenames from 'match.files()' on icasefs, even though exact
matching is required.
then, files only different in letter case are treated as one file.
this patch prevents 'dirstate.walk()' from normalizing, if exact
matching is required, even on icasefs.
filenames for 'exact matching' are given not from user command line,
but from dirstate walk result, manifest of changecontext, patch files
or fixed list for specific system files (e.g.: '.hgtags').
in such case, case normalization should not be done, so this patch
works well.
file in nested directory causes unexpected abort.
problems below should be fixed for recursive normalization route in
dirstate._normalize():
1. rsplit() may cause unpacking into more than 2 elements.
it should be called with 'maxsplit' argument to unpack
into 'd, f'
2. 'd' is replaced by normalized value prefixed with
'self._root', but this makes 'folded' as absolute path,
and it is unexpected one for caller of recursive
normalization
When doing hg up, if there is a file conflict with untracked files,
currently only the first such conflict is reported. With this patch,
all of them are listed.
With this patch error message is now reported as
a: untracked file differs
b: untracked file differs
abort: untracked files in working directory conflict with files in
requested revision
instead of
abort: untracked file in working directory differs from file in
requested revision: 'a'
This is a follow up to an old attempt to do this here:
