obsolete: make sure windows tests pass when stat() is given a URL This is a temporary fix for an issue that's only visible on windows, but exists on other platforms as well. The issue is if we're trying to use obsstore from a remote peer and that peer is a static HTTP repo, vfs tries to os.stat() a remote file using a URL to that file (e.g. http://localhost/repo/.hg/store/obsstore). The next patch in this series makes branchcache obsolescence-aware, so in certain situations exchange process will try os.stat()ing a URL. On windows this will produce an OSError that is not ENOENT, but EINVAL instead (because of `:` symbol, for example). Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12100

== New Features ==

 * `hg mv -A` can now be used with `--at-rev`. It behaves just like
   `hg cp -A --at-rev`, i.e. it marks the destination as a copy of the
   source whether or not the source still exists (but the source must
   exist in the parent revision).

 * New revset predicate `diffcontains(pattern)` for filtering revisions
   in the same way as `hg grep --diff pattern`.

 * The memory footprint per changeset and per file during pull/unbundle
   operations has been significantly reduced.


== New Experimental Features ==



== Bug Fixes ==



== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==



== Internal API Changes ==

 * `merge.update()` is now private (renamed to `_update()`). Hopefully
   the higher-level functions available in the same module cover your
   use cases.

 * `phases.registernew` now takes a set of revisions instead of a list
   of nodes. `phases.advanceboundary` takes an optional set of revisions
   in addition to the list of nodes. The corresponeding members of the
   `phasecache` class follow this change.

 * The `addgroup` member of `revlog` classes no longer keeps a list of
   all found nodes. It now returns True iff a node was found in the group.
   An optional callback for duplicated nodes can be used by callers to keep
   track of all nodes themselve.

 * The `_chaininfocache` of `revlog` classes has been changed from a dict
   to a LRU cache.
