dirstate: better error messages when dirstate is corrupted The current error message "Overflow in dirstate" sounds confusing because it suggests either a certain size limit that's being exceeded, or integer arithmetic overflowing. The reality is just a file being shorter than expected.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see:

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

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).
