fsmonitor: remove use of repo.opener
This has been deprecated, so we need to switch to the appropriate vfs apis.
help: align description of 'base rev' with reality [
issue5488]
The text about revlogs seems to be wrong about -1 being used to indicate
the start of a delta chain. Attempt to correct this.
help: fix internals.changegroups
Add information about tree manifests, copy edit the text and fix up a few
ambiguities.
The document also contains a few additional fixes from Siddharth Agarwal
<sid0@fb.com>, who used it to build a parser for changegroups in Rust.
share: fix typo to drop 'shared' requirement on unshare
This must be a typo and it seems correct to drop the requirement since the
repo is no longer a shared repository.
similar: compare between actual file contents for exact identity
Before this patch, similarity detection logic (for addremove and
automv) depends entirely on SHA-1 digesting. But this causes incorrect
rename detection, if:
- removing file A and adding file B occur at same committing, and
- SHA-1 hash values of file A and B are same
This may prevent security experts from managing sample files for
SHAttered issue in Mercurial repository, for example.

https://shattered.it/
Hash collision itself isn't so serious for core repository
functionality of Mercurial, described by mpm as below, though.
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/mpm/SHA1
This patch compares between actual file contents after hash comparison
for exact identity.
Even after this patch, SHA-1 is still used, because it is reasonable
enough to quickly detect existence of "(almost) same" file.
- replacing SHA-1 causes decreasing performance, and
- replacement of it has ambiguity, yet
Getting content of removed file (= rfctx.data()) at each exact
comparison should be cheap enough, even though getting content of
added one costs much.

localrepo: handle rename with hardlinks properly
In "aftertrans", we rename "journal.*" to "undo.*". We expect "journal.*"
files to disappear after renaming.
However, if "journal.foo" and "undo.foo" refer to a same file (hardlink),
rename may be a no-op, leaving both files on disk, according to Linux
manpage [1]:
If oldpath and newpath are existing hard links referring to the same
file, then rename() does nothing, and returns a suc‐ cess status.
The POSIX specification [2] is not very clear about what to do.
To be safe, remove "undo.*" before the rename so "journal.*" cannot be left
on disk.
