mergestate: store about files resolved in favour of other Committing a merge sometimes wrongly creates a new filenode where it can re-use an existing one. This happens because the commit code does it's own calculation and does not know what happened on merge. This starts storing information in mergestate about files which were automatically merged and the other/remote version of file was used. We need this information at commit to pick the filenode parent for the new commit. This issue was found by Pierre-Yves David and idea to store the relevant parts in mergestate is also suggested by him. Somethings which can be further investigated are: 1) refactoring of commit logic more to depend on this information 2) maybe a more generic solution?

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
