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.
When rebasing, if a conflict occurs and is resolved in a way the rebased
revision becomes empty, it is not skipped, unlike revisions being emptied
without conflicts.
The reason is:
- File 'x' is merged and resolved, merge.update() marks it as 'm' in the
dirstate.
- rebase.concludenode() calls localrepo.commit(), which calls
localrepo.status() which calls dirstate.status(). 'x' shows up as 'm' and is
unconditionnally added to the modified files list, instead of being checked
again.
- localrepo.commit() detects 'x' as changed an create a new revision where only
the manifest parents and linkrev differ.
Marking 'x' as modified without checking it makes sense for regular merges. But
in rebase case, the merge looks normal but the second parent is usually
discarded. When this happens, 'm' files in dirstate are a bit irrelevant and
should be considered 'n' possibly dirty instead. That is what the current patch
does.
Another approach, maybe more efficient, would be to pass another flag to
merge.update() saying the 'branchmerge' is a bit of a lie and recordupdate()
should call dirstate.normallookup() instead of merge().
It is also tempting to add this logic to dirstate.setparents(), moving from two
to one parent is what invalidates the 'm' markers. But this is a far bigger
change to make.
v2: succumb to the temptation and move the logic in dirstate.setparents(). mpm
suggested trying _filecommit() first but it is called by commitctx() which
knows nothing about the dirstate and comes too late into the game. A second
approach was to rewrite the 'm' state into 'n' on the fly in dirstate.status()
which failed for graft in the following case:
$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -qAm0
$ echo a >> a
$ hg ci -m1
$ hg up 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg mv a b
$ echo c > b
$ hg ci -m2
created new head
$ hg graft 1 --tool internal:local
grafting revision 1
$ hg --config extensions.graphlog= glog --template '{rev} {desc|firstline}\n'

Here, revision 3 is created because there is a copy record for 'b' in the
dirstate and thus 'b' is considered modified. But this information is discarded
at commit time since 'b' content is unchanged. I do not know if discarding this
information is correct or not, but at this time we cannot represent it anyway.
This patch therefore implements the last solution of moving the logic into
dirstate.setparents(). It does not sound crazy as 'm' files makes no sense with
only one parent. It also makes dirstate.merge() calls .lookupnormal() if there
is one parent, to preserve the invariant.
I am a bit concerned about introducing this kind of stateful behaviour to
existing code which historically treated setparents() as a basic setter without
side-effects. And doing that during the code freeze.
