contributing: add new file with a pointer to the wiki
This also includes what I consider to be the minimum set of steps
someone should be able to perform even if they can't run the
testsuite. Hopefully this will help new contributors know to at least
run the two checkers that find most things that (in my experience)
require manual cleanup.
#require no-symlink
# The following script was used to create the bundle:
#
# hg init symlinks
# cd symlinks
# echo a > a
# mkdir d
# echo b > d/b
# ln -s a a.lnk
# ln -s d/b d/b.lnk
# hg ci -Am t
# hg bundle --base null ../test-no-symlinks.hg
Extract a symlink on a platform not supporting them
$ hg init t
$ cd t
$ hg pull -q "$TESTDIR/bundles/test-no-symlinks.hg"
$ hg update
4 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cat a.lnk && echo
a
$ cat d/b.lnk && echo
d/b
Copy a symlink and move another
$ hg copy a.lnk d/a2.lnk
$ hg mv d/b.lnk b2.lnk
$ hg ci -Am copy
$ cat d/a2.lnk && echo
a
$ cat b2.lnk && echo
d/b
Bundle and extract again
$ hg bundle --base null ../symlinks.hg

$ cd ..
$ hg init t2
$ cd t2
