destutil: use cached branch information instead of query for efficiency Before this patch, calculation of "the tipmost branch head on current branch" uses revset query "max(.::(head() and branch(BRANCH)))", but this isn't efficiency, because: - head() predicate lists up heads on all branches, but - branch() predicate eliminates heads on other branches In addition to it, without "literal:" prefix for branch name, branch(BRANCH) tries to (1) look up BRANCH in "repo.branchmap()" and (2) look up BRANCH as symbol name again, if there is no branch matching against BRANCH. The latter looking up is obviously redundant. This patch uses repo.branchheads(closed=True) to get all branch heads on specified branch instead of "head() and branch(BRANCH)" revset query part. This patch also makes catching RepoLookupError meaningless, because it is only raised by revset predicate "branch()". But "currentbranch in repo.branchmap()" can detect whether currentbranch actually exists or not. Therefore, this patch replaces try/except for RepoLookupError by if/else for "currentbranch in repo.branchmap()".

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.
