repo-config: adjust "root" path for parsing shared config...
repo-config: adjust "root" path for parsing shared config That "root" argument is used to resolve relative path in the config. For a repository config it is expected to be the root of the working copy (the directory that contains the `.hg` directory). Before this patch, the config was loaded using the `.hg/` directory of the share source, this is not the right directory and would break in all cases. Instead we use the working copy directory of the share. This is not always good, if some relative path we pointing inside the source's `.hg`. However that is better than something plain wrong. Also this is the right answer for all path that refer to the actual working copy. Fixing this ambiguity is left as an exercises to a future developer. At least we no longer use a plain invalid value.

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.
