dirstate: fix restoration of "merged" state after a remove Before this change, "merged" file that get removed and re-added later were recorded as "from_p2" instead. This came from 8fe74328f700, a 2014 changeset that start explicitly doing so for reason I have not been able to fully grasp. The graft test mentioned in the description are still happy after this changeset. So this changeset restore what seems to be the intended behavior. Restoring information as it was before the removal.

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.
