copies: fix the changeset based algorithm regarding merge In 99ebde4fec99, we changed the list of files stored into the `files` field. This lead to the changeset centric copy algorithm to break in various merge situation involving merge. Older information could reach the merge through `p1`, and while information from `p2` was strictly fresher, it would get overwritten anyway. We update the situation with more details about which revision introduces rename information. This help use making the right decision in case of merge. We are now running a more comprehensive suite of test with include this kind of situation. The behavior differ slightly from the filelog based in a couple of instance. There is mostly two distinct cases: 1) there are conflicting rename information in a merge (different rename history on each side). In this case the filelog based implementation arbitrarily pick a side based on the file-revision-number. So it depends on a local factor. The changeset centric algorithm will use a deterministic approach, by picking the information coming from the first parent of the merge. This is stable across different clone. 2) rename information related to file that exist in both source and destination. The filelog based implementation do not even try to detect these, however the changeset centric one get them for "free" (it is simpler to detect them than not). The new implementation focus on correctness. Performance improvement will come later. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8244
