histedit: store full node hash in rules Previously histedit only stored the short version of the rule nodes in the state. This meant that later we couldn't resolve a rule node to its full form if the commit had been deleted from the repo. Let's store the full form from the beginning.

trydiff: order header-writing code in same order as output Instead of inserting a line before the others header lines, move the code that writes that line before the code that writes the other lines.

trydiff: inline sole addmodehdr() call Now that there is only a single call to addmodehdr() left, and there is other similar code (for new/deleted files) around that call site, let's inline the function there. That also makes it clearer under what circumstances the header is actually written (when modes differ).

trydiff: join filename with prefix only once

trydiff: collect header-writing in one place This is the first step towards simplifying the big loop in trydiff(). This will make both the header code and the non-header code clearer, and it prepares for further simplification of the many nested if-statements in the body of the loop.

trydiff: make variable names more consistent Use '1' and '2' as suffix for names just like in the parameters 'ctx[12]': to,tn -> content1,content2 a,b -> f1, f2 omode,mode -> mode1,mode2 omode,nmode -> mode1,mode2 onode,nnode -> node1,node2 oflag,nflag -> flag1,flag2 oindex,nindex -> index1,index2

trydiff: check only if added file is a copy target, not source When creating a diff with copy/rename enabled, we consider added files and check if they are either copy sources or targets. However, an added file should never be a copy source. The test suite seems to agree with this: all tests pass if we raise an exception when an added file is a copy source. So, let's simplify the code by dropping the conditions that are never true. For those interested in the historical reasons: Before commit d1f209bb9564 (patch: separate reverse copy data (issue1959), 2010-02-11), 'copy' seems to have been a bidirectional map. Then that commit split it up into two unidirectional maps and duplicated the logic to look in both maps. It was still needed at that point to look in both maps, as the copy detection was poor and could sometimes be reported in reverse. A little later came 91eb4512edd0 (copies: rewrite copy detection for non-merge users, 2012-01-04). That commit fixed the copy detection to be backwards when it should, and made the hacks in trydiff unnecessary.
