merge: move almost all change/delete conflicts to resolve phase (BC) (API)
We have finally laid all the groundwork to make this happen.
The only change/delete conflicts that haven't been moved are .hgsubstate
conflicts. Those are trickier to deal with and well outside the scope of this
series.
We add comprehensive testing not just for the initial selections but also for
re-resolves and all possible dirstate transitions caused by merge tools. That
testing managed to shake out several bugs in the way we were handling dirstate
transitions.
The other test changes are because we now treat change/delete conflicts as
proper merges, and increment the 'merged' counter rather than the 'updated'
counter. I believe this is the right approach here.
For third-party extensions, if they're interacting with filemerge code they
might have to deal with an absentfilectx rather than a regular filectx.
Still to come:
- add a 'leave unresolved' option to merges
- change the default for non-interactive change/delete conflicts to be 'leave
unresolved'
- add debug output to go alongside debug outputs for binary and symlink file
merges
Set up a repo
$ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
> [ui]
> interactive = true
> [extensions]
> record =
> EOF
$ hg init a
$ cd a
Record help
$ hg record -h
hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
interactively select changes to commit
If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by "hg status" will be
candidates for recording.
See "hg help dates" for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
You will be prompted for whether to record changes to each modified file,
and for files with multiple changes, for each change to use. For each
query, the following responses are possible:
y - record this change
n - skip this change
e - edit this change manually
s - skip remaining changes to this file
f - record remaining changes to this file
d - done, skip remaining changes and files
a - record all changes to all remaining files
q - quit, recording no changes
? - display help
This command is not available when committing a merge.
options ([+] can be repeated):
-A --addremove mark new/missing files as added/removed before
committing
--close-branch mark a branch head as closed
--amend amend the parent of the working directory
-s --secret use the secret phase for committing
-e --edit invoke editor on commit messages
-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
-m --message TEXT use text as commit message
-l --logfile FILE read commit message from file
-d --date DATE record the specified date as commit date
-u --user USER record the specified user as committer
-S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories
-w --ignore-all-space ignore white space when comparing lines
-b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
-B --ignore-blank-lines ignore changes whose lines are all blank
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
