copies: choose target directory based on longest match If one side of a merge renames `dir1/` to `dir2/` and the subdirectory `dir1/subdir1/` to `dir2/subdir2/`, and the other side of the merge adds a file in `dir1/subdir1/`, we should clearly move that into `dir2/subdir2/`. We already detect the directories correctly before this patch, but we iterate over them in arbitrary order. That results in the new file sometimes ending up in `dir2/subdir1/` instead. This patch fixes it by iterating over the source directories by visiting subdirectories first. That's achieved by simply iterating over them in reverse lexicographical order. Without the fix, the test case still passes on Python 2 but fails on Python 3. It depends on the iteration order of the dict. I did not look into how it's built up and why it behaved differently before the fix. I could probably have gotten it to fail on Python 2 as well by choosing different directory names.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
