manifest: avoid corruption by dropping removed files with pure (issue5801)
Previously, removed files would simply be marked by overwriting the first byte
with NUL and dropping their entry in `self.position`. But no effort was made to
ignore them when compacting the dictionary into text form. This allowed them to
slip into the manifest revision, since the code seems to be trying to minimize
the string operations by copying as large a chunk as possible. As part of this,
compact() walks the existing text based on entries in the `positions` list, and
consumed everything up to the next position entry. This typically resulted in
a ValueError complaining about unsorted manifest entries.
Sometimes it seems that files do get dropped in large repos- it seems to
correspond to there being a new entry that would take the same slot. A much
more trivial problem is that if the only changes were removals, `_compact()`
didn't even run because `__delitem__` doesn't add anything to `self.extradata`.
Now there's an explicit variable to flag this, both to allow `_compact()` to
run, and to avoid searching the manifest in cases where there are no removals.
In practice, this behavior was mostly obscured by the check in fastdelta() which
takes a different path that explicitly drops removed files if there are fewer
than 1000 changes. However, timeless has a repo where after rebasing tens of
commits, a totally different path[1] is taken that bypasses the change count
check and hits this problem.

Set up a repo $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH > [ui] > interactive = true > [extensions] > record = > EOF $ hg init a $ cd a Record help $ hg record -h hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]... interactively select changes to commit If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by 'hg status' will be candidates for recording. See 'hg help dates' for a list of formats valid for -d/--date. If using the text interface (see 'hg help config'), you will be prompted for whether to record changes to each modified file, and for files with multiple changes, for each change to use. For each query, the following responses are possible: y - record this change n - skip this change e - edit this change manually s - skip remaining changes to this file f - record remaining changes to this file d - done, skip remaining changes and files a - record all changes to all remaining files q - quit, recording no changes ? - display help This command is not available when committing a merge. (use 'hg help -e record' to show help for the record extension) options ([+] can be repeated): -A --addremove mark new/missing files as added/removed before committing --close-branch mark a branch head as closed --amend amend the parent of the working directory -s --secret use the secret phase for committing -e --edit invoke editor on commit messages -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns -m --message TEXT use text as commit message -l --logfile FILE read commit message from file -d --date DATE record the specified date as commit date -u --user USER record the specified user as committer -S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories -w --ignore-all-space ignore white space when comparing lines -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space -B --ignore-blank-lines ignore changes whose lines are all blank -Z --ignore-space-at-eol ignore changes in whitespace at EOL (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help) Select no files $ touch empty-rw $ hg add empty-rw $ hg record empty-rw<<EOF > n > EOF diff --git a/empty-rw b/empty-rw new file mode 100644 abort: empty commit message [255] $ hg tip -p changeset: -1:000000000000 tag: tip user: date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
