compat: temporarily move copies fix to compat.py
This patch moves a fixed version of copies._fullcopytracing() to compat.py as
this was not fixed in core before release and also we need to do this anyway for
the older versions of mercurial.
This fix is that when base changeset is not ancestor of any of the merging
commits, we don't throw an error.
The phabricator differential which will fix this in core is
https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3896.
This fixes the traceback we get in previous changeset while relocating one of
the content-divergent changeset.

Logilab SA <contact@logilab.fr> ----------------------------------------- Good practice for (early) users of evolve ----------------------------------------- Avoid unstability ----------------- The less unstability you have the less you need to resolve. Evolve is not yet able to detect and solve every situation. And your mind is not ready neither. Branch as much as possible -------------------------- This is not MQ; you are not constrained to linear history. Making a branch per independent branch will help you avoid unstability and conflict. Rewrite your changes only ------------------------- There is no descent conflict detection and handling right now. Rewriting other people's changesets guarantees that you will get conflicts. Communicate with your fellow developers before trying to touch other people's work (which is a good practice in any case). Using multiple branches will help you to achieve this goal. Prefer pushing unstability to touching other people changesets -------------------------------------------------------------- If you have children changesets from other people that you don't really care about, prefer not altering them to risking a conflict by stabilizing them. Do not get too confident ------------------------ This is an experimental extension and a complex concept. This is beautiful, powerful and robust on paper, but the tool and your mind may not be prepared for all situations yet.
