patch: support diff data loss detection and upgrade
In worst case, generating diff in upgrade mode can be two times more expensive
than generating it in git mode directly: we may have to regenerate the whole
diff again whenever a git feature is detected. Also, the first diff attempt is
completely buffered instead of being streamed. That said, even without having
profiled it yet, I am convinced we can fast-path the upgrade mode if necessary
were it to be used in regular diff commands, and not only in mq where avoiding
data loss is worth the price.
#!/bin/sh
hg init
echo This is file a1 > a
hg add a
hg commit -m "commit #0" -d "1000000 0"
echo This is file b1 > b
hg add b
hg commit -m "commit #1" -d "1000000 0"
hg update 0
echo This is file c1 > c
hg add c
hg commit -m "commit #2" -d "1000000 0"
hg merge 1
rm b
echo This is file c22 > c
hg commit -m "commit #3" -d "1000000 0"
