sparse: override dirstate.walk() instead of dirstate._ignore Instead of treating files that are outside the sparse config as ignored, this makes it so we list only those that are within the sparse config by passing the sparse matcher to dirstate.walk(). Once we add support for narrow (sparseness applied to history, not just working copy), we will need to do a similar restriction of the walk over manifests, so this will be more consistent then. It also simplifies the code a bit. Note that a side-effect of this change is that files outside the sparse config used to be listed as ignored, but they will now not be listed at all. This can be seen in the test case where "hg purge" no longer has any effect because it doesn't see that the files outside the space config exist. To fix that, I think we should add an option to dirstate.walk() to walk outside the sparse config. We might expose that to the user as --no-sparse flag to e.g. "hg status" and "hg purge", but that's work for another day. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D59

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
