lock: pass "success" boolean to _afterlock callbacks This lets the callback decide if it should actually run or not. I suspect that most callbacks (and hooks) *should not* run in this scenario, but I'm trying to not break any existing behavior. `persistmanifestcache`, however, seems actively dangerous to run: we just encountered an exception and the repo is in an unknown state (hopefully a consistent one due to transactions, but this is not 100% guaranteed), and the data we cache may be based on this unknown state. This was observed by our users since we wrap some of the functions that persistmanifestcache calls and it expects that the repo object is in a certain state that we'd set up earlier. If the user hits ctrl-c before we establish that state, we end up crashing there. I'm going to make that extension resilient to this issue, but figured it might be a common issue and should be handled here as well instead of just working around the issue.

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.
