revlog: avoid wrongly updating the data file location on "divert" If we are in the inline case, we need to align the location of the "data" file with the temporary location of the file (i.e. "00changelog.i.a"). However we should not do that for non-inline case… and before this changeset we had been doing it. In addition `index_file` is already a property taking care of updating the "segment file" filename when needed. So we can simply remove all that code. As a result, code trying to read the diverted data before they were committed ended deeply confused as the "00changelog.i.a" file is nothing like the "00changelog.d" file. However nothing corrupted data as all writing where properly handled outside of the "segment file". In "best" cases this small in-memory corruption of the filename when unnoticed until the transaction was committed or rolled back and in the worse case, some data reading was failing during the transaction and resulted in the transaction to be rolled back. However wrong data never reached the disk, so this bug should be have corrupted any repository. This is not catch by tests because most test use a small repository and therefor an inline revlog. In addition the bug only triggers when a changelog read is done in the following "rare" situation: - after some delayed write - after that data have been written in a "divert" file (i.e. `00.changelog.i.a`) - before transaction commit - outside of a "writing" context The issue was introduced in d83d788590a8
