test: add a test file for relevant obsmarkers and its usage The logic around obsmarkers "relevant" to a set of revs have a couple of test around in other places but no systematic testing. In addition, all the current testing focus on the exchange case (we looks at relevant markers for '::heads'). For bundles, we'll need something a bit different. We'll no longer have set of revision going down to the repository roots. So we'll have to test these cases too. In addition, stripping obsmarkers will introduce new logic around obsmarkers that will need testing too. So a new test file make sense here. We start with a simple tests, more advanced cases are coming in the next changesets. The extra testing catch a minor bug (later in the series).

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.
