amend: don't remove unselected removals from memctx When there are removed files in the working copy and they are not selected to be amended into the parent, the `filectxfn` we create for the `memctx` would still return `None` before this patch. That's clearly incorrect; we should return the `filectx` from the unamended commit. Somehow it seems to not matter much except for the case with copies stored in changesets. Thanks to Kyle Lippincott for doing all the debugging and identifying the fix for this issue. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12573

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
