copies: do not track backward copies, only renames (
issue3739)
The inverse of a rename is a rename, but the inverse of a copy is not a copy.
Presenting it as such -- in particular, stuffing it into the same dict as real
copies -- causes bugs because other code starts believing the inverse copies
are real.
The only test whose output changes is test-mv-cp-st-diff.t. When a backwards
status -C command is run where a copy is involved, the inverse copy (which was
hitherto presented as a real copy) is no longer displayed.
Keeping track of inverse copies is useful in some situations -- composability
of diffs, for example, since adding "a" followed by an inverse copy "b" to "a"
is equivalent to a rename "b" to "a". However, representing them would require
a more complex data structure than the same dict in which real copies are also
stored.
# A B
#
# 3 4 3
# |\/| |\
# |/\| | \
# 1 2 1 2
# \ / \ /
# 0 0
#
# if the result of the merge of 1 and 2
# is the same in 3 and 4, no new manifest
# will be created and the manifest group
# will be empty during the pull
#
# (plus we test a failure where outgoing
# wrongly reported the number of csets)
