transaction-summary: display the summary for all transactions Now that we records "all" changes happening in a transaction (in tr.changes) we will be able to provide better report on various changes (phases turned public, changeset obsoleted, branch merged or created, etc..) This is far too late in the cycle to play with this, but having this existing method called more widely will help extensions to play around with various options during the 4.4 cycle. Instead of calling registersummarycallback only for transactions we want, we always call it and use the transaction name to decide when to report (eg: we do not want `hg amend` to report new obsoleted changesets). Filtering on transaction name does not seems great, but seems good enough for the moment. We can change the API during the next cycle. The previous manual call during unbundling of the bundle2 "obsmarkers" part is no longer necessary and has been dropped.

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.
