update: allow update to existing branches with invalid names (issue3710)
Starting with 361ab1e2086f, users are no longer able to update a
working copy to a branch named with a "bad" character (such as ':').
Prior to v2.4, it was possible to create branch names using "bad"
characters, so this breaks backwards compatibility.
Mercurial must allow users to update to existing branches with bad
names. However, it should continue to prevent the creation of new
branches with bad names.
A test was added to confirm that 'hg update' works as expected. The
test uses a bundled repo that was created with an earlier version of
Mercurial.
$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg commit -A -ma
adding a
$ echo b >> a
$ hg commit -mb
$ echo c >> a
$ hg commit -mc
$ hg up 1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ echo d >> a
$ hg commit -md
created new head
$ hg up 1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ echo e >> a
$ hg commit -me
created new head
$ hg up 1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Should fail because not at a head:
$ hg merge
abort: branch 'default' has 3 heads - please merge with an explicit rev
(run 'hg heads .' to see heads)
[255]
$ hg up
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Should fail because > 2 heads:
$ HGMERGE=internal:other; export HGMERGE
$ hg merge
abort: branch 'default' has 3 heads - please merge with an explicit rev
(run 'hg heads .' to see heads)
[255]
Should succeed:
$ hg merge 2
0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
$ hg commit -mm1
Should succeed - 2 heads:
$ hg merge -P

$ hg commit -mm2
Should fail because at tip:

$ hg up 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Should fail because there is only one head:

$ hg up 3
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ echo f >> a
$ hg branch foobranch
marked working directory as branch foobranch
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ hg commit -mf
Should fail because merge with other branch:
$ hg merge
abort: branch 'foobranch' has one head - please merge with an explicit rev
(run 'hg heads' to see all heads)

Test for issue2043: ensure that 'merge -P' shows ancestors of 6 that
are not ancestors of 7, regardless of where their least common
ancestor is.
Merge preview not affected by common ancestor:
$ hg up -q 7
$ hg merge -q -P 6
