unshelve: disable unshelve during merge (issue5123)...
unshelve: disable unshelve during merge (issue5123) As stated in the issue5123, unshelve can destroy the second parent of the context when tried to unshelve with an uncommitted merge. This patch makes unshelve to abort when called with an uncommitted merge. See how shelve.mergefiles works. Commit structure looks like this: ``` ... -> pctx -> tmpwctx -> shelvectx / / second merge parent pctx = parent before merging working context(first merge parent) tmpwctx = commited working directory after merge(with two parents) shelvectx = shelved context ``` shelve.mergefiles first updates to pctx then it reverts shelvectx to pctx with: ``` cmdutil.revert(ui, repo, shelvectx, repo.dirstate.parents(), *pathtofiles(repo, files), **{'no_backup': True}) ``` Reverting tmpwctx files that were merged from second parent to pctx makes them added because they are not in pctx. Changing this revert operation is crucial to restore parents after unshelve. This is a complicated issue as this is not fixing a regression. Thus, for the time being, unshelve during an uncommitted merge can be aborted.

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.
