simplestore: use a custom store for the simple store repo Before, we used the default store, which was based on fncache and dotencode. After attempting to port tests to work with the simple store, I realized that fncache was more trouble than it is worth. This commit implements a proper store type for the simple repo - one that isn't based off fncache. This causes a number of new test failures because of tests expecting the full fncache store filename encoding. I may extend the store format in a subsequent commit to take the filename encoding parts of fncache that we can take (basically everything except hash encoding, since that isn't reversible). But for now, let's use encoded store. As part of this, we implement proper requirements support for repos created with the simple store. This should have been done from the beginning, as a requirement is needed to lock out clients that don't understand a storage format. A new hghave feature advertising the presence of fncache in repos has been added. Most tests touching the fncache are now conditional on that feature. Other tests have added the optional repo requirement to output. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3095

internals: add some brief documentation about censor
r31280 The censor system allows retroactively removing content from
files. Actually censoring a node requires using the censor extension,
but the functionality for handling censored nodes is partially in core.
Censored nodes in a filelog have the flag ``REVIDX_ISCENSORED`` set,
and the contents of the censored node are replaced with a censor
tombstone. For historical reasons, the tombstone is packed in the
filelog metadata field ``censored``. This allows censored nodes to be
(mostly) safely transmitted through old formats like changegroup
versions 1 and 2. When using changegroup formats older than 3, the
receiver is required to re-add the ``REVIDX_ISCENSORED`` flag when
storing the revision. This depends on the ``censored`` metadata key
never being used for anything other than censoring revisions, which is
true as of January 2017. Note that the revlog flag is the
authoritative marker of a censored node: the tombstone should only be
consulted when looking for a reason a node was censored or when revlog
flags are unavailable as mentioned above.
The tombstone data is a free-form string. It's expected that users of
censor will want to record the reason for censoring a node in the
tombstone. Censored nodes must be able to fit in the size of the
content being censored.
