rebase: use dirstateguard instead of dirstate.invalidate...
rebase: use dirstateguard instead of dirstate.invalidate Before this patch, "rebase.concludenode()" uses "dirstate.invalidate()" as a kind of "restore .hg/dirstate to the original status" during a failure. But it just discards changes in memory, and doesn't actually restore ".hg/dirstate". Then, it can't work as expected, if "dirstate.write()" is executed while processing. This patch uses "dirstateguard" instead of "dirstate.invalidate()" to restore ".hg/dirstate" during a failure even if "dirstate.write()" is executed before a failure. This patch also removes "beginparentchage()" and "endparentchange()", because "dirstateguard" makes them useless. This is a part of preparations to fix the issue that the recent (in memory) dirstate isn't visible to external processes (e.g. "precommit" hook). After this patch, the changed dirstate becomes visible to external "precommit" hooks during "hg rebase" in "test-largefiles-misc.t", because "dirstateguard()" writes it out. But this content isn't yet correct, because: - "normal3" should be marked as "A"(dded) at committing It is newly added in the changeset being rebased. - but it is marked as "M"(odified) The result of "repo.setparents()" after "dirstateguard()" isn't yet written out before "precommit". So, merging is still in progress for "hg status" in it. This causes marking the file newly added on "other" branch as "A". This will be fixed by subsequent patch.

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.
