move tags.cache and branchheads.cache to a collected cache folder .hg/cache/
The generation of cache files like tags.cache and branchheads.cache is not an
actual reflection of things changing in the whole of the .hg directory (like eg
a commit or a rebase or something) but instead these cache files are just part
of bookkeeping. As such its convienant to allow various clients to ignore file
events to do with these cache files which would otherwise cause a double
refresh. Eg one refresh might occur after a commit, but the act of refreshing
after the commit would cause Mercurial to generate a new branchheads.cache which
would then cause a second refresh, for clients.
However if these cache files are moved into a directory like eg .hg/cache/ then
GUI clients on OSX (and possibly other platforms) can happily ignore file events
in this cache directory.

Some implementations of cp can't create hardlinks (replaces 'cp -al' on Linux):
$ cat > linkcp.py <<EOF
> from mercurial import util
> import sys
> util.copyfiles(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2], hardlink=True)
> EOF
$ linkcp()
> {
> python $TESTTMP/linkcp.py $1 $2

Prepare repo r1:
$ mkdir r1
$ cd r1
$ hg init
$ echo c1 > f1
$ hg add f1
$ hg ci -m0
$ mkdir d1
$ cd d1
$ echo c2 > f2
$ hg add f2
$ hg ci -m1
$ cd ../..
$ nlinksdir r1/.hg/store
1 r1/.hg/store/00changelog.i
1 r1/.hg/store/00manifest.i
1 r1/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
1 r1/.hg/store/data/f1.i
1 r1/.hg/store/fncache
1 r1/.hg/store/undo
Create hardlinked clone r2:
$ hg clone -U --debug r1 r2
linked 7 files
Create non-hardlinked clone r3:
$ hg clone --pull r1 r3
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 2 changesets with 2 changes to 2 files

2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Repos r1 and r2 should now contain hardlinked files:
$ nlinksdir r1/.hg/store
2 r1/.hg/store/00changelog.i
2 r1/.hg/store/00manifest.i
2 r1/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
2 r1/.hg/store/data/f1.i
2 r1/.hg/store/fncache
1 r1/.hg/store/undo
$ nlinksdir r2/.hg/store
2 r2/.hg/store/00changelog.i
2 r2/.hg/store/00manifest.i
2 r2/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
2 r2/.hg/store/data/f1.i
2 r2/.hg/store/fncache
Repo r3 should not be hardlinked:
$ nlinksdir r3/.hg/store
1 r3/.hg/store/00changelog.i
1 r3/.hg/store/00manifest.i
1 r3/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
1 r3/.hg/store/data/f1.i
1 r3/.hg/store/fncache
1 r3/.hg/store/undo
Create a non-inlined filelog in r3:
$ cd r3/d1
$ python -c 'for x in range(10000): print x' >> data1
$ for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do
> cat data1 >> f2
> hg commit -m$j
> done
$ cd ../..
$ nlinksdir r3/.hg/store
1 r3/.hg/store/00changelog.i
1 r3/.hg/store/00manifest.i
1 r3/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.d
1 r3/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
1 r3/.hg/store/data/f1.i
1 r3/.hg/store/fncache
1 r3/.hg/store/undo
Push to repo r1 should break up most hardlinks in r2:
$ hg -R r2 verify
checking changesets
checking manifests
crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
checking files
2 files, 2 changesets, 2 total revisions
$ cd r3
$ hg push
pushing to $TESTTMP/r1

adding manifests
adding file changes
added 10 changesets with 10 changes to 1 files
$ cd ..
$ nlinksdir r2/.hg/store

1 r2/.hg/store/00manifest.i
1 r2/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
2 r2/.hg/store/data/f1.i
1 r2/.hg/store/fncache
$ hg -R r2 verify

2 files, 2 changesets, 2 total revisions
$ cd r1
$ hg up
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Committing a change to f1 in r1 must break up hardlink f1.i in r2:
$ echo c1c1 >> f1
$ hg ci -m00
$ cd ..
$ nlinksdir r2/.hg/store
1 r2/.hg/store/00changelog.i
1 r2/.hg/store/00manifest.i
1 r2/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
1 r2/.hg/store/data/f1.i
1 r2/.hg/store/fncache
$ cd r3
$ hg tip --template '{rev}:{node|short}\n'
11:a6451b6bc41f
$ echo bla > f1
$ hg ci -m1
$ cd ..
Create hardlinked copy r4 of r3 (on Linux, we would call 'cp -al'):
$ linkcp r3 r4
r4 has hardlinks in the working dir (not just inside .hg):
$ nlinksdir r4
2 r4/.hg/00changelog.i
2 r4/.hg/branch
2 r4/.hg/cache/branchheads
2 r4/.hg/cache/tags
2 r4/.hg/dirstate

2 r4/.hg/undo.dirstate
2 r4/d1/data1
2 r4/d1/f2
2 r4/f1
Update back to revision 11 in r4 should break hardlink of file f1:
$ hg -R r4 up 11
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ nlinksdir r4
2 r4/.hg/00changelog.i

No diff if hardlink:
