merge: minimize conflicts when common base is not shown (issue4447)

Previously, two changes that were nearly, but not quite, identical would result
in large merge conflict regions that looked very similar, and were thus very
confusing to users, and lead people used to other source control systems to
claim that "mercurial's merge algorithms suck". In the relatively common case
of a new file being introduced in two branches with very slight modifications,
the old behavior would show the entire file as a conflict, and it would be very
difficult for a user to determine what was going on.

In the past, mercurial attempted to solve this with a "very smart" algorithm
that would find all common lines, but this has significant problems as
described in 2ea6d906cf9b.

Instead, we use a "very dumb" algorithm introduced in the previous patch that
simply matches lines at the periphery of conflict regions. This minimizes most
conflict regions well, though there may still be some degenerate edge cases,
like small modification to the beginning and end of a large file.

  $ 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
