mergestate: introduce a new ACTION_KEEP_NEW
`ACTION_KEEP` is overloaded and it's hard to figure out how we end up with this
KEEP, what was the state of things.
In a previous patch, we introduced `ACTION_KEEP_ABSENT` which represents files
which are kept absent in the working directory.
There is another special case where we keep the file when it's not present on
both ancestor and remote side. We introduce a dedicated action for that.
The goal is to use these information to make bid merge smarter.
Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9002
Checking the size/permissions/file-type of files stored in the
dirstate after an update where the files are changed concurrently
outside of hg's control.
$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ echo a > a
$ hg commit -qAm _
$ echo aa > a
$ hg commit -m _
$ hg debugdirstate --no-dates
n 644 3 (set |unset) a (re)
$ cat >> $TESTTMP/dirstaterace.py << EOF
> from mercurial import (
> extensions,
> merge,
> )
> def extsetup(ui):
> extensions.wrapfunction(merge, 'applyupdates', wrap)
> def wrap(orig, *args, **kwargs):

Do an update where file 'a' is changed between hg writing it to disk
and hg writing the dirstate. The dirstate is correct nonetheless, and
so hg status correctly shows a as clean.
$ hg up -r 0 --config extensions.race=$TESTTMP/dirstaterace.py
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg debugdirstate --no-dates
n 644 2 (set |unset) a (re)
$ echo a > a; hg status; hg diff
