largefiles: systematic testing of merges to/from largefiles
427ce5633c1c fixed one problem with update and added a test case for it. The
test coverage was thus insufficient before that.
To make sure we have good test coverage in this area we add systematic testing
of all cases of merges that may or may not change normal files to largefiles or
vice versa.
The tests shows some annoying extra merge prompts in some cases, but these
prompts are hard to avoid and they are now "safe" - they do not leave the
system in a confused inconsistent state.

WiX installer source files ========================== The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync. The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the contrib/win32 folder, the contents of which have been historically used to create an InnoSetup based installer. The rest of the files there are ignored. The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin) privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may still be useful to some users. To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but they are more specific.
