shelve: add an ability to write key-val data to a new type of shelve files Obsolescense-based shelve only needs metadata stored in .hg/shelved and if feels that this metadata should be stored in a simplekeyvaluefile format for potential extensibility purposes. I want to avoid storing it in an unstructured text file where order of lines determines their semantical meanings (as now happens in .hg/shelvedstate. .hg/rebasestate and I suspect other state files as well). Not included in this series, I have ~30 commits, doubling test-shelve.t in size and testing almost every tested shelve usecase for obs-shelve. Here's the series for the curious now: http://pastebin.com/tGJKx0vM I would like to send it to the mailing list and get accepted as well, but: 1. it's big, so should I send like 6 patches a time or so? 2. instead of having a commit per test case, it more like a commit per some amount of copy-pasted code. I tried to keep it meaningful and named commits somewhat properly, but it is far from this list standards IMO. Any advice on how to get it in without turning it into a 100 commits and spending many days writing descriptions? 3. it makes test-shelve.t run for twice as long (and it is already a slow test). Newest test-shelve.r runs for ~1 minute.

path
indicates a path on the local machine

Files
"""""
``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
files.
``.hgignore``
This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
see |hgignore(5)|_.
``.hgsub``
This file defines the locations of all subrepositories, and
tells where the subrepository checkouts came from. For details, see
:hg:`help subrepos`.
``.hgsubstate``
This file is where Mercurial stores all nested repository states. *NB: This
file should not be edited manually.*
``.hgtags``
This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
the repository contents. The file content is encoded using UTF-8.
``.hg/last-message.txt``
This file is used by :hg:`commit` to store a backup of the commit message
in case the commit fails.
``.hg/localtags``
This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among
repositories. The file format is the same as for ``.hgtags``, but it is
encoded using the local system encoding.
Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
it will be overwritten.
Bugs
""""
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources_
below) when you find them.
