copies: add config option for writing copy metadata to file and/or changset This introduces a config option that lets you choose to write copy metadata to the changeset extras instead of to filelog. There's also an option to write it to both places. I imagine that may possibly be useful when transitioning an existing repo. The copy metadata is stored as two fields in extras: one for copies since p1 and one for copies since p2. I may need to add more information later in order to make copy tracing faster. Specifically, I'm thinking out recording which files were added or removed so that copies._chaincopies() doesn't have to look at the manifest for that. But that would just be an optimization and that can be added once we know if it's necessary. I have also considered saving space by using replacing the destination file path by an index into the "files" list, but that can also be changed later (but before the feature is ready to release).

Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
implement hooks.
To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this::
[extensions]
foo =
You may also specify the full path to an extension::
[extensions]
myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.
Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
needed.
To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !::
[extensions]
# disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
# ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
baz = !
