annotate tests/test-amend-patch.t @ 6848:e823d9117a68

tests: further relax the number of files check in test-check-sdist.t

A previous patch bumped this number due to a different version of setuptools or
distutils or some other package that we don't control, which made it pretty
obvious that this check is not really practical. We need a better way to check
that all needed files are present in the tarball.

I have some ideas, but this patch can be applied without further waiting, and
it'll already bring the benefit of not annoying developers or contributors
while at the same time still keeping the test somewhat useful.

** Test for the `--patch` flag for `hg amend` command **
