vfs: replace 'scmutil.opener' usage with 'scmutil.vfs'
The 'vfs' class is the first class citizen for years. We remove all usages of
the older API. This will let us remove the old API eventually.
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.
