obsolete: reports the number of local changeset obsoleted when unbundling This is a first basic visible usage of the changes tracking in the transaction. We adds a new function computing the pre-existing changesets obsoleted by a transaction and a transaction call back displaying this information. Example output: added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files (+1 heads) 3 new obsolescence markers obsoleted 1 changesets The goal is to evolve the transaction summary into something bigger, gathering existing output there and adding new useful one. This patch is a good first step on this road. The new output is basic but give a user to the content of tr.changes['obsmarkers'] and give an idea of the new options we haves. I expect to revisit the message soon. The caller recording the transaction summary should also be moved into a more generic location but further refactoring is needed before it can happen.

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.
