relnotes/5.9

dirstatemap: remove unused parameter from `reset_state`

This has no callers using it and is not used inside the method itself.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12497

== New Features ==

 * `hg config` now has a `--source` option to show where each
   configuration value comes from.
 * Introduced a command (debug-repair-issue6528) to repair repositories affected
   by issue6528 where certain files would show up as modified even if they were
   clean due to an issue in the copy-tracing code.

== Default Format Change ==

These changes affect newly created repositories (or new clone) done with
Mercurial 5.9.


== New Experimental Features ==

 * A `changelogv2` format has been introduced. It is not ready for use yet, but
   will be used later to address some of the weaknesses of the current revlog
   format.
 * Initial experiment and support for `dirstatev2`, a new dirstate format that
   addresses some of the weaknesses of the current dirstate format. Python + C
   and Rust support are being implemented, but the Rust solution is the one
   currently getting the attention for performance.
 * Initial support for `rhg status`. `rhg` is the Rust wrapper executable for hg
   that shortcuts some commands for faster execution speed.

== Bug Fixes ==

 * Fixed committing empty files with `narrow`
 * Allow overriding `pip`'s pep517 compliance to build C or Rust extensions
 * Fixed regression on outgoing email when not specifying revisions
 * Fixed a regression causing bookmarks to disappear when using Rust persistent nodemap
 * Fixed a regression (in 5.9.1) introduced in 5.9 when cloning repos with
   deep filenames
 * Fixed detection of directories becoming symlinks, but only when using the
   Rust extensions.
 * Fixed ignore and include not composing in the Rust status
 * `hg commit --interactive` now handles deselecting edits of a rename
 * Fixed a case where `hg evolve` gives different results when interrupted
 * Fixed a memory leak in phases computation
 * `histedit` and `shelve` don't swallow errors when updating the working copy
   anymore
 * Improve error message when detecting content-divergence with a hidden
   common predecessor
 * No longer re-order parents in filelog, see issue6533
 * Fix revisions affected by issue6533 on the fly during exchange
 * Many Windows fixes for stability and py3 compatibility improvements
 * Many other miscellaneous fixes

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==


== Internal API Changes ==

The Dirstate API have been updated as the previous function leaked some
internal details and did not distinguish between two important cases: "We are
changing parent and need to adjust the dirstate" and "some command is changing
which file is tracked". To clarify the situation:

* the following functions have been deprecated,

  - `dirstate.add`,
  - `dirstate.normal`,
  - `dirstate.normallookup`,
  - `dirstate.merge`,
  - `dirstate.otherparent`,
  - `dirstate.remove`,
  - `dirstate.drop`,
  - `dirstateitem.__getitem__`,

* these new functions are added for the "adjusting parents" use-case:

  - `dirstate.update_file`,
  - `dirstate.update_file_p1`,

* these new function are added for the "adjusting wc file" use-case":

  - `dirstate.set_tracked`,
  - `dirstate.set_untracked`,
  - `dirstate.set_clean`,
  - `dirstate.set_possibly_dirty`,

See inline documentation of the new functions for details.

* Additionally, the following have been deprecated:
  - `urlutil.getpath` function
  - `localrepository.updatecaches`' `full` argument

* The following have been removed:
  - `revlog.revlogio` has been removed
