localrepo: stop doing special dirstate backup at transaction open Since the dirstate writes are already managed by the transaction, we already do a backup of the dirstate when necessary (and even trigger one to keep `hg rollback` happy). We needs some special code to deal with the initial empty checkout, but it is not too complicated. Managing variable filename (as dirstate-v2 uses) at the "journalfile" level, is complex and fragile (which is consistent with the fact these files are not journal…). If we no longer do it, our life is significantly simpler. In some sense, we apply the xkcd-1134¹ solution to our savebackup/restorebackup problem. [1] https://xkcd.com/1134/ (the change to test-hardlink are expect as decreasing the number of duplicated backup drive the hardlink count down)

Files
"""""
``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
files.
``.hgignore``
This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
see |hgignore(5)|_.
``.hgsub``
This file defines the locations of all subrepositories, and
tells where the subrepository checkouts came from. For details, see
:hg:`help subrepos`.
``.hgsubstate``
This file is where Mercurial stores all nested repository states. *NB: This
file should not be edited manually.*
``.hgtags``
This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
the repository contents. The file content is encoded using UTF-8.
``.hg/last-message.txt``
This file is used by :hg:`commit` to store a backup of the commit message
in case the commit fails.
``.hg/localtags``
This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among
repositories. The file format is the same as for ``.hgtags``, but it is
encoded using the local system encoding.
Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
it will be overwritten.
Bugs
""""
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources_
below) when you find them.
