repair: invalidate volatile sets after stripping Matt Harbison reported that some tests were broken on Windows after 1a09dad8b85a (evolution: report new unstable changesets, 2018-01-14). The failures were exactly as seen in this patch. The failures actually seemed correct, which made me wonder why they didn't fail the same way on Linux. It turned out to be a cache invalidation problem. The new orphan mentioned in the test case actually does get created when we're re-applying the temporary bundle that's created while stripping. However, without the invalidation, it appears that there was already an orphan before applying the temporary bundle. The warnings about unknown working parent appear because the aformentioned changeset means that we're now accessing the dirstate while it's invalid. We may want to suppress these messages that happen in the intermediate strip state, but they're technically correct (although confusing to the user), so I think just fixing the cache invalidation is fine for now. I haven't figured out why the caches seemed to get correctly invalidated on Windows. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D1933
