localrepo: execute appropriate actions for dirstate at releasing transaction Before this patch, in-memory dirstate changes are still kept over a transaction scope boundary regardless of the result of it. For "all or nothing" policy of the transaction, in-memory dirstate changes should be: - written out at successful closing a transaction, because subsequent 'dirstate.invalidate()' can lose them - discarded at failure of a transaction, because outer 'wlock.release()' or so may write them out To discard all changes in a transaction completely, this patch also restores '.hg/dirstate' by '.hg/journal.dirstate' at failure, because 'transaction' itself does nothing for files related to '.hg/journal.*' in such case (therefore, renaming in this patch is safe enough). This is a part of preparations for "transactional dirstate". See also the wiki page below for detail about it. https://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/DirstateTransactionPlan This patch also removes redundant 'dirstate.invalidate()' just before aborting a transaction for shelve/unshelve.

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.
