Set up a v1 repo
$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ echo a > a
$ touch file-with-somewhat-long-name-to-make-dirstate-v1-bigger-than-v2
$ hg commit -Aqm a
$ hg debugrequires | grep dirstate
[1]
$ ls -1 .hg/dirstate*
.hg/dirstate
Copy v1 dirstate
$ cp .hg/dirstate $TESTTMP/dirstate-v1-backup
Upgrade it to v2
$ hg debugupgraderepo -q --config format.use-dirstate-v2=1 --run | grep -E 'added:|removed:'
added: dirstate-v2
$ hg debugrequires | grep dirstate
dirstate-v2
$ ls -1 .hg/dirstate*
.hg/dirstate
.hg/dirstate.* (glob)
Manually reset to dirstate v1 to simulate an incomplete dirstate-v2 upgrade
$ rm .hg/dirstate*
$ cp $TESTTMP/dirstate-v1-backup .hg/dirstate
There should be no errors, but a v2 dirstate should be written back to disk
$ hg st
$ ls -1 .hg/dirstate*
.hg/dirstate
.hg/dirstate.* (glob)
Corrupt the dirstate to see how the errors show up to the user
$ echo "I ate your data" > .hg/dirstate
$ hg st
abort: working directory state appears damaged! (no-rhg !)
(falling back to dirstate-v1 from v2 also failed) (no-rhg !)
abort: Too little data for dirstate: 16 bytes. (rhg !)
