test-largefiles: demonstrate problems with renaming and reverting a directory These things were uncovered looking at issue5738. First, if the destination directory exists under .hglf, the source is moved under the destination instead of renaming the last component for `hg mv srcdir dstdir`. This is extra confusing, because it occurs even if the user visible destination (i.e. the path _not_ under .hglf) does not exist. Additionally, when a largefile is forgotten via revert, any modifications end up getting clobbered. For normal files, the forgotten file is left unchanged, as shown by test-import.t. The forget command on a largefile will correctly leave the file unmodified.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
