filemerge: break overall filemerge into separate premerge and merge steps

This means that in ms.resolve we must call merge after calling premerge. This
doesn't yet mean that all premerges happen before any merges -- however, this
does get us closer to our goal.

The output differences are because we recompute the merge tool. The only
user-visible difference caused by this patch is that if the tool is missing
we'll print the warning twice. Not a huge deal, though.

test merge-tools configuration - mostly exercising filemerge.py

  $ unset HGMERGE # make sure HGMERGE doesn't interfere with the test
  $ hg init

revision 0

  $ echo "revision 0" > f
  $ echo "space" >> f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 0"
  adding f

revision 1

  $ echo "revision 1" > f
  $ echo "space" >> f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 1"
  $ hg update 0 > /dev/null

revision 2

  $ echo "revision 2" > f
  $ echo "space" >> f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 2"
  created new head
  $ hg update 0 > /dev/null

revision 3 - simple to merge

  $ echo "revision 3" >> f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 3"
  created new head

revision 4 - hard to merge

  $ hg update 0 > /dev/null
  $ echo "revision 4" > f
  $ hg commit -Am "revision 4"
  created new head

  $ echo "[merge-tools]" > .hg/hgrc

Tool selection

default is internal merge:

  $ beforemerge
  [merge-tools]
  # hg update -C 1

hg merge -r 2
override $PATH to ensure hgmerge not visible; use $PYTHON in case we're
running from a devel copy, not a temp installation

  $ PATH="$BINDIR:/usr/sbin" $PYTHON "$BINDIR"/hg merge -r 2
  merging f
  warning: conflicts during merge.
  merging f incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon

  space
  # hg stat
  M f
  ? f.orig

simplest hgrc using false for merge:

  $ echo "false.whatever=" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ beforemerge
  [merge-tools]
  false.whatever=

  # hg update -C 1
  $ hg merge -r 2

  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  $ aftermerge

unless lowered on command line:

  $ aftermerge

or false set higher on command line:

  $ beforemerge

  false.whatever=
  true.priority=1
  # hg update -C 1
  $ hg merge -r 2 --config merge-tools.false.priority=117
  merging f

  [1]
  $ aftermerge

  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  $ aftermerge
  # cat f

and true.executable set to cat with path works:

  $ beforemerge

environment variables in true.executable are handled:

  $ echo 'echo "custom merge tool"' > .hg/merge.sh
  $ beforemerge

for Unix-like permission)

Merge post-processing

cat is a bad merge-tool and doesn't change:

  $ beforemerge
  [merge-tools]
  false.whatever=
  true.priority=1
  true.executable=cat
  # hg update -C 1
  $ hg merge -y -r 2 --config merge-tools.true.checkchanged=1
  merging f
  revision 1
  space
  revision 0
  space
  revision 2
  space
   output file f appears unchanged
  was merge successful (yn)? n
  merging f failed!
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon

  $ aftermerge
  # cat f
  revision 1
  space
  # hg stat
  M f
  ? f.orig

#if symlink

internal merge cannot handle symlinks and shouldn't try:

  $ hg update -q -C 1
  $ rm f
  $ ln -s symlink f
  $ hg commit -qm 'f is symlink'
  $ hg merge -r 2 --tool internal:merge
  merging f
  warning: internal :merge cannot merge symlinks for f
  merging f incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon
