mercurial/dirstateguard.py

match: use '' instead of '.' for root directory (API)

I think '' is generally a better value for the root directory than '.'
is. For example, os.path.join('', 'foo') => 'foo', while
os.path.join('.', 'foo') => './foo'.

This patch mostly makes it so we use '' internally in
match.py. However, it also affects the API in visitdir(),
visitchildrenset() and files(). The two former now also accept '' as
input. I've updated the callers of these methods. I've also added a
deprecation warning for passing '.' (for external callers). The only
caller I could find that was affected by files() returning '' instead
of '.' was in dirstate.walk(). I've updated that.

The next few patches show some workarounds we can remove by using ''
instead of '.'.

    '''Restore dirstate at unexpected failure.

    At the construction, this class does:

    - write current ``repo.dirstate`` out, and
    - save ``.hg/dirstate`` into the backup file

    This restores ``.hg/dirstate`` from backup file, if ``release()``
    is invoked before ``close()``.

    This just removes the backup file at ``close()`` before ``release()``.
