checklink: work around sshfs brain-damage (
issue3636)
With the follow_symlinks option, sshfs will successfully create links
while claiming it encountered an I/O error. In addition, depending on
the type of link, it may subsequently be impossible to delete the link
via sshfs. Our existing link to '.' will cause sshfs to think the link
is a directory, and thus cause unlink to give EISDIR. Links to
non-existent names or circular links will cause the created link to not even
be visible.
Thus, we need to create a new temporary file and link to that. We'll
still get a failure, but we'll be able to remove the link.

Create extension that can disable symlink support:
$ cat > nolink.py <<EOF
> from mercurial import extensions, util
> def setflags(orig, f, l, x):
> pass
> def checklink(orig, path):
> return False
> def extsetup(ui):
> extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'setflags', setflags)
> extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'checklink', checklink)
> EOF

Simulate a checkout shared on NFS/Samba:
$ hg clone -q unix-repo shared
$ cd shared
$ rm b
$ echo foo > b
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py status --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Make a clone using placeholders:
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py clone . ../win-repo
updating to branch default
2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd ../win-repo
$ cat b
a (no-eol)
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
Write binary data to the placeholder:
>>> open('b', 'w').write('this is a binary\0')
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Write a long string to the placeholder:
>>> open('b', 'w').write('this' * 1000)
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"
Commit shouldn't succeed:
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
nothing changed

Write a valid string to the placeholder:
>>> open('b', 'w').write('this')
$ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
