help: internals topic for wire protocol

The Mercurial wire protocol is under-documented. This includes a lack
of source docstrings and comments as well as pages on the official
wiki.

This patch adds the beginnings of "internals" documentation on the
wire protocol.

The documentation should have nearly complete coverage on the
lower-level parts of the protocol, such as the different transport
mechanims, how commands and arguments are sent, capabilities, and,
of course, the commands themselves.

As part of writing this documentation, I discovered a number of
deficiencies in the protocol and bugs in the implementation. I've
started sending patches for some of the issues. I hope to send a lot
more.

This patch starts with the scaffolding for a new internals page.

  $ hg init
  $ echo a > a
  $ mkdir b
  $ echo b > b/b
  $ hg commit -A -m "a is file, b is dir"
  adding a
  adding b/b

File replaced with directory:

  $ rm a
  $ mkdir a
  $ echo a > a/a

Should fail - would corrupt dirstate:

  $ hg add a/a
  abort: file 'a' in dirstate clashes with 'a/a'
  [255]

Removing shadow:

  $ hg rm --after a

Should succeed - shadow removed:

  $ hg add a/a

Directory replaced with file:

  $ rm -r b
  $ echo b > b

Should fail - would corrupt dirstate:

  $ hg add b
  abort: directory 'b' already in dirstate
  [255]

Removing shadow:

  $ hg rm --after b/b

Should succeed - shadow removed:

  $ hg add b

Look what we got:

  $ hg st
  A a/a
  A b
  R a
  R b/b

Revert reintroducing shadow - should fail:

  $ rm -r a b
  $ hg revert b/b
  abort: file 'b' in dirstate clashes with 'b/b'
  [255]

Revert all - should succeed:

  $ hg revert --all
  undeleting a
  forgetting a/a (glob)
  forgetting b
  undeleting b/b (glob)

  $ hg st

Issue3423:

  $ hg forget a
  $ echo zed > a
  $ hg revert a
  $ hg st
  ? a.orig
  $ rm a.orig

addremove:

  $ rm -r a b
  $ mkdir a
  $ echo a > a/a
  $ echo b > b

  $ hg addremove -s 0
  removing a
  adding a/a
  adding b
  removing b/b

  $ hg st
  A a/a
  A b
  R a
  R b/b

commit:

  $ hg ci -A -m "a is dir, b is file"
  $ hg st --all
  C a/a
  C b

Long directory replaced with file:

  $ mkdir d
  $ mkdir d/d
  $ echo d > d/d/d
  $ hg commit -A -m "d is long directory"
  adding d/d/d

  $ rm -r d
  $ echo d > d

Should fail - would corrupt dirstate:

  $ hg add d
  abort: directory 'd' already in dirstate
  [255]

Removing shadow:

  $ hg rm --after d/d/d

Should succeed - shadow removed:

  $ hg add d
  $ hg ci -md

Update should work at least with clean working directory:

  $ rm -r a b d
  $ hg up -r 0
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ hg st --all
  C a
  C b/b

  $ rm -r a b
  $ hg up -r 1
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ hg st --all
  C a/a
  C b
