tests: add test-remotefilelog-strip.t to demonstrate an issue with linknodes ### Background Every time a commit is modified, remotefilelog updates the metadata for the file object to point to the new commit (I believe that this is different from non-remotefilelog hg, which leaves the linkrevs pointing to the obsolete commits; doing otherwise would involve changing data in the middle of revlogs). With `hg strip` (or other things that use repair.strip()), when you strip a commit that's not the tip of the revlog, there may be commits after it in revnum order that aren't descended from it and don't need to be (and shouldn't be) stripped. These are "saved" by strip in a bundle, and that bundle is reapplied after truncating the relevant revlogs. ### The problem Remotefilelog generally avoids being involved at all in strip. Currently, that includes even providing file contents to this backup bundle. This can cause the linknode to point to a changeset that is no longer in the repository. Example: ``` @ 3 df91f74b871e | | x 2 70494d7ec5ef |/ | x 1 1e423846dde0 |/ o 0 b292c1e3311f ``` Commits 1, 2, and 3 are related via obsolescence, and are description-only changes. The linknode for the file in these commits changed each time we updated the description, so it's currently df91f7. If I strip commits 1 and 3, however, the linknode *remains* df91f7, which no longer exists in the repository. Commit 70494d was "saved", stripped, and then reapplied, so it is in the repository (as revision 1 instead of 2 now), and was unobsoleted since the obsmarker was stripped as well. The linknode for the file should point to 70494d, the most recent commit that is in the repository that modified the file. Remotefilelog has some logic to handle broken linknodes, but it can be slow. We have actually disabled it internally because it's too slow for our purposes. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10319

Mercurial

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers.

Basic install:

$ make            # see install targets
$ make install    # do a system-wide install
$ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
$ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

$ make local      # build for inplace usage
$ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported configuration.
