shelve: use rebase instead of merge (issue4068)...
shelve: use rebase instead of merge (issue4068) Previously, shelve used merge to unshelve things. This meant that if you shelved changes on one branch, then unshelved on another, all the changes from the first branch would be present in the second branch, and not just the shelved changes. The fix is to use rebase to pick the shelve commit off the original branch and place it on top of the new branch. This means only the shelved changes are brought across. This has the side effect of fixing several other issues in shelve: - you can now unshelve into a file that already has pending changes - unshelve a mv/cp now has the correct dirstate value (A instead of M) - you can now unshelve to an ancestor of the shelve - unshelve now no longer deletes untracked .orig files Updates tests and adds a new one to cover the issue. The test changes fall into a few categories: - I removed some excess output - The --continue/--abort state is a little different, so the parents and dirstate needed updating - Removed some untracked files at certain points that cluttered the output

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.
