repository: define manifest interfaces...
repository: define manifest interfaces The long march towards declaring interfaces for repository primitives continues. This commit essentially defines interfaces based on the following types: * manifest.manifestdict -> imanifestdict * manifest.manifestlog -> imanifestlog * manifest.memmanifestctx -> imanifestrevisionwritable * manifest.manifestctx -> imanifestrevisionstored * manifest.memtreemanifestctx -> imanifestrevisionwritable * manifest.treemanifestctx -> imanifestrevisionstored * util.dirs -> idirs The interfaces are thoroughly documented. Their documentation is now better than the documentation in manifest.py in many cases. With the exception of util.dirs, classes have been annotated with their interfaces. (I didn't feel like util.dirs needed the proper interface treatment.) Tests have been added demonstrating that all classes and instances conform to their interfaces. This work was much easier than filelogs. That's because Durham did an excellent job formalizing the manifest API a while back. There are still some minor kludges with the interfaces that should probably be addressed. But the primary goal with interface declarations is getting something established. Once we have an interface, we can modify it later easily enough. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3869

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.
