cmdutil: fix newandmodified file accounting for --interactive commits `originalchunks` is a misleading name, because it only contains header objects, which are flattened to selected hunks by the filter function. As such, `chunks not in originalchunks` is always True and misleading, because hunk objects never compare equal to header objects. This change fixes the internal naming and removes the useless parameter from the method. This change also fixes issue6533, by considering the filtered headers, rather than the hunks, when determining new and modified files. If a file is renamed + edited, and the edited hunks are deselected (but the file is not), the filtered chunks will contain a header for the file (because it's .special()) but but no hunks.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
