largefiles: move "copyalltostore" invocation into "markcommitted"...
largefiles: move "copyalltostore" invocation into "markcommitted" Before this patch, while "hg convert", largefiles avoids copying largefiles in the working directory into the store area by combination of setting "repo._isconverting" in "mercurialsink{before|after}" and checking it in "copytostoreabsolute". This avoiding is needed while "hg convert", because converting doesn't update largefiles in the working directory. But this implementation is not efficient, because: - invocation in "markcommitted" can easily ensure updating largefiles in the working directory "markcommitted" is invoked only when new revision is committed via "commit" of "localrepository" (= with files in the working directory). On the other hand, "commitctx" may be invoked directly for in-memory committing. - committing without updating the working directory (e.g. "import --bypass") also needs this kind of avoiding For efficiency of this kind of avoiding, this patch does: - move "copyalltostore" invocation into "markcommitted" - remove meaningless procedures below: - hooking "mercurialsink{before|after}" to (un)set "repo._isconverting" - checking "repo._isconverting" in "copytostoreabsolute" This patch invokes "copyalltostore" also in "_commitcontext", because "_commitcontext" expects that largefiles in the working directory are copied into store area after "commitctx". In this case, the working directory is used as a kind of temporary area to write largefiles out, even though converted revisions are committed via "commitctx" (without updating normal files).

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.
