+Test a fatal error interrupting an update. lfdirstate doesn't realize that
+.hglf has been updated while the largefile hasn't. Status thus shows a clean
+state ... but rebuilding lfdirstate and checking all hashes reveals it isn't
+clean.

+Start with clean dirstates:
+  $ hg up -qcr "8^"
+  $ sleep 1
+  $ hg st
+Update standins without updating largefiles:
+  $ cat << EOF > ../crashupdatelfiles.py
+  > import hgext.largefiles.lfutil
+  > def getlfilestoupdate(oldstandins, newstandins):
+  >      raise SystemExit(7)
