merge: move almost all change/delete conflicts to resolve phase (BC) (API)...
merge: move almost all change/delete conflicts to resolve phase (BC) (API) We have finally laid all the groundwork to make this happen. The only change/delete conflicts that haven't been moved are .hgsubstate conflicts. Those are trickier to deal with and well outside the scope of this series. We add comprehensive testing not just for the initial selections but also for re-resolves and all possible dirstate transitions caused by merge tools. That testing managed to shake out several bugs in the way we were handling dirstate transitions. The other test changes are because we now treat change/delete conflicts as proper merges, and increment the 'merged' counter rather than the 'updated' counter. I believe this is the right approach here. For third-party extensions, if they're interacting with filemerge code they might have to deal with an absentfilectx rather than a regular filectx. Still to come: - add a 'leave unresolved' option to merges - change the default for non-interactive change/delete conflicts to be 'leave unresolved' - add debug output to go alongside debug outputs for binary and symlink file merges

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.
