templatekw: change default value of 'requires' to () Since we dropped support for the old-style template keywords, we no longer have to distinguish None (old-style) and an empty requirement (new-style).

commit: move sorting of added and removed files list to lower level localrepo.commitctx() has lists of all changed files, as well as lists of added and removed files. The list of all files is unsorted and changelog.add() will sort it. Let's also sort the lists of added and removed files at a lower level (manifestrevlog.add()) for consistency. It also seems safer to do it there, just before we write them to the store. That way other callers won't be able to create invalid commits (or whatever the consequence is) by passing in unsorted lists. Also, alternative storages may not care that the lists are sorted. I don't think this will be a performance problem (someone should have fixed the sorting in changelog.add() if it were). Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6390

match: drop unnecessary adding of '' to set of dirs This breaks some tests for "rootfilesin:" in a pattern matcher even more, but that just shows how broken that case is. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6406

narrowcommands: drop unnecessary adding of '' for root directory It's now included by util.dirs(). Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6405

copies: remove hack for adding root dir to util.dirs object Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6404

util: make util.dirs() and util.finddirs() include root directory (API) This changes the behavior of test-origbackup-conflict.t so it no longer errors out when the backup path points to an existing file. Instead, it replaces the file by a directory. That seems reasonable to me. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6403

dirstate: drop workaround for '.' matching root directory The check was added in 31abcae33b4f (dirstate: do not ignore current directory '.' (issue 1078), 2008-04-05) to fix issue1078. Funnily enough, comment #2 on that issue mentions using '' instead of '.' to represent the root directory, just like my previous patch did. test-hgignore.t fails with this patch without the previous patch.

match: use '' instead of '.' for root directory (API) I think '' is generally a better value for the root directory than '.' is. For example, os.path.join('', 'foo') => 'foo', while os.path.join('.', 'foo') => './foo'. This patch mostly makes it so we use '' internally in match.py. However, it also affects the API in visitdir(), visitchildrenset() and files(). The two former now also accept '' as input. I've updated the callers of these methods. I've also added a deprecation warning for passing '.' (for external callers). The only caller I could find that was affected by files() returning '' instead of '.' was in dirstate.walk(). I've updated that. The next few patches show some workarounds we can remove by using '' instead of '.'. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6401

dirstate: move special handling of files==['.'] together I think it makes it a little clearer to have the two conditions for files==['.'] near each other. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6400
