exchange: move disabling of rev-branch-cache bundle part out of narrow I'm attempting to refactor changegroup code in order to better support alternate storage backends. The narrow extension is performing a lot of monkeypatching to this code and it is making it difficult to reason about how everything works. I'm reasonably certain I would be unable to abstract storage without requiring extensive rework of narrow. I believe it is less effort to move narrow code into core so it can be accounted for when changegroup code is refactored. So I'll be doing that. The first part of this is integrating the disabling of the cache:rev-branch-cache bundle2 part into core. This doesn't seem like it is related to changegroup, but narrow's modifications to changegroup are invasive and also require taking its code for bundle generation and exchange into core in order for the changegroup code to work.

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.
