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).

Files
"""""
``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
files.
``.hgignore``
This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
see |hgignore(5)|_.
``.hgsub``
This file defines the locations of all subrepositories, and
tells where the subrepository checkouts came from. For details, see
:hg:`help subrepos`.
``.hgsubstate``
This file is where Mercurial stores all nested repository states. *NB: This
file should not be edited manually.*
``.hgtags``
This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
the repository contents. The file content is encoded using UTF-8.
``.hg/last-message.txt``
This file is used by :hg:`commit` to store a backup of the commit message
in case the commit fails.
``.hg/localtags``
This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among
repositories. The file format is the same as for ``.hgtags``, but it is
encoded using the local system encoding.
Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
it will be overwritten.
Bugs
""""
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources_
below) when you find them.
