#testcases filelog compatibility sidedata ===================================================== Test Copy tracing for chain of copies involving merge ===================================================== This test files covers copies/rename case for a chains of commit where merges are involved. It cheks we do not have unwanted update of behavior and that the different options to retrieve copies behave correctly.
