track-tags: introduce first bits of tags tracking during transaction This changeset introduces detection of tags changes during transaction. When this happens a 'tag_moved=1' argument is set for hooks, similar to what we do for bookmarks and phases. This code is disabled by default as there are still various performance concerns. Some require a smarter use of our existing tag caches and some other require rework around the transaction logic to skip execution when unneeded. These performance improvements have been delayed, I would like to be able to experiment and stabilize the feature behavior first. Later changesets will push the concept further and provide a way for hooks to know what are the actual changes introduced by the transaction. Similar work is needed for the other families of changes (bookmark, phase, obsolescence, etc). Upgrade of the transaction logic will likely be performed at the same time. The current code can report some false positive when .hgtags file changes but resulting tags are unchanged. This will be fixed in the next changeset. For testing, we simply globally enable a hook in the tag test as all the possible tag update cases should exist there. A couple of them show the false positive mentioned above. See in code documentation for more details.

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.
