lfs: generate a large file by using `python` instead of yes | head
yes(1) on some systems (like gcc112) feels compelled to inform you of
broken pipes, such as those triggered by head(1). This works around
the problem portably.
Corrupt an hg repo with two pulls.
create one repo with a long history
$ hg init source1
$ cd source1
$ touch foo
$ hg add foo
$ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
> echo $i >> foo
> hg ci -m $i
> done
$ cd ..
create one repo with a shorter history
$ hg clone -r 0 source1 source2

updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd source2
$ echo a >> foo
$ hg ci -m a
$ cd ..
create a third repo to pull both other repos into it
$ hg init corrupted
$ cd corrupted
use a hook to make the second pull start while the first one is still running
$ echo '[hooks]' >> .hg/hgrc
$ echo 'prechangegroup = sleep 5' >> .hg/hgrc
start a pull...
$ hg pull ../source1 > pull.out 2>&1 &
... and start another pull before the first one has finished
$ sleep 1
$ hg pull ../source2 2>/dev/null
