tests: test merge of renames of different sources to same target
This is a really obscure scenario, but let's still have it tested so
we know when it changes.

=================== Mercurial Rust Code =================== This directory contains various Rust code for the Mercurial project. Rust is not required to use (or build) Mercurial, but using it improves performance in some areas. There are currently three independent rust projects: - chg. An implementation of chg, in rust instead of C. - hgcli. A experiment for starting hg in rust rather than in python, by linking with the python runtime. Probably meant to be replaced by PyOxidizer at some point. - hg-core (and hg-cpython/hg-directffi): implementation of some functionality of mercurial in rust, e.g. ancestry computations in revision graphs or pull discovery. The top-level ``Cargo.toml`` file defines a workspace containing these crates. Using hg-core ============= Local use (you need to clean previous build artifacts if you have built without rust previously):: $ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make local # to use ./hg $ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make tests # to run all tests $ (cd tests; HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython ./run-tests.py) # only the .t $ ./hg debuginstall | grep rust # to validate rust is in use checking module policy (rust+c-allow) Setting ``HGWITHRUSTEXT`` to other values like ``true`` is deprecated and enables only a fraction of the rust code. Developing hg-core ================== Simply run:: $ cargo build --release It is possible to build without ``--release``, but it is not recommended if performance is of any interest: there can be an order of magnitude of degradation when removing ``--release``. For faster builds, you may want to skip code generation:: $ cargo check You can run only the rust-specific tests (as opposed to tests of mercurial as a whole) with:: $ cargo test --all
