test-check-code: prevent files being added to the root directory Adding new files in the root directory is probably a mistake, and is usually discouraged [1]. The test catches it to avoid mistakes like [2]. Modify the test if files need to be added in the root.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see:

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

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).
