commit: abort on merge with missing files...
commit: abort on merge with missing files Here is a script illustrating the previous behaviour: The merge brings a new file 'b' from remote $ hg merge 1 --debug searching for copies back to rev 1 unmatched files in other: b resolving manifests overwrite: False, partial: False ancestor: 07f494440405, local: 540395c44225+, remote: 102a90ea7b4a b: remote created -> g updating: b 1/1 files (100.00%) getting b 1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved (branch merge, don't forget to commit) Delete but do not remove b $ rm b $ hg st ! b The commit succeeds $ hg commit -m merge $ hg parents --template "{rev} {desc|firstline} files: {files}\n" 3 merge files: $ hg st ! b b changes were ignored, but even b existence was ignored $ hg manifest a This happens because localrepo.commitctx() checks the input ctx.files(), which is empty for workingctx.files() only returns added, modified or removed entries, and bypass files/manifest updates completely. So the committed revision manifest is the same as its first parent one, not containing the 'b' file. This patch forces the commit to abort in presence of a merge and missing files. test-merge4.t is modified accordingly as it was introduced to check hg was not just terminating with a traceback (5e9e8b8d2629).

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.
