rust: Align DirstateEntry internals with Python/C DirstateItem...
rust: Align DirstateEntry internals with Python/C DirstateItem This propagate to this Rust struct the similar change that was made recently to the Python classe and C struct. Namely, instead of storing a four-valued `state` field we now store seven (bit-packed) booleans that give lower-level information. Additionally, the marker values -1 and -2 for mtime and size should not be used internally anymore. They are replaced by some combinations of booleans For now, all uses of of `DirstateEntry` still use the compatibility APIs with `state` and marker values. Later the Rust API for DirstateMap will be increasingly updated to the new style. Also change the expected result of the test_non_normal_other_parent_entries unit test. Only a `DirstateEntry` with `size == -2 && mtime != -1` is affected, but this case never occurs outside of unit tests. `size == -2` was the marker value for "from other parent" entries, where no meaningful mtime is stored.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
