context: introduce p[12]copies() methods and debugp[12]copies commands
As mentioned earlier, I'm working on support for storing copy metadata
in the changeset instead of in the filelog.
In order to transition a repo from storing metadata in filelogs to
storing it in the changeset, I'm going to provide a config option for
reading the metadata from the changeset, but falling back to getting
it from the filelog if it's not in the changeset. In this compatiblity
mode, the changeset-optmized algorithms will be used. We will then
need to convert the filelog copy metadata to look like that provided
by changeset copy metadata. This patch introduces methods that do just
that.
By having these methods here, we can start writing changeset-optimized
algorithms that should work already before we add any support for
storing the metadata in the changesets.
This commit also includes new debugp[12]copies commands and exercises
them in test-copies.t.

Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or implement hooks. To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file, like this:: [extensions] foo = You may also specify the full path to an extension:: [extensions] myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files. Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons: they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as needed. To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of broader scope, prepend its path with !:: [extensions] # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz baz = !
