run-tests: fixed warn detection on detecting warn only for lines The state "warned" was reported too often. The main problem was that "False == 0" is true in python. Therefore use an empty string instead of 0 for reporting warn only for a line. The other problem is fixed in the next patch.

obsolete: extract encoding of marker for pushkey from the list key function We now have a function taking a list and marker and returning an encoded version. This will allow obsolescence marker exchange experimentation to easily pushkey-encode markers to be pushed after selection.

solaris: diff -u emits "No differences encountered" Solaris diff -u isn't silent when two files are identical, and tests that don't account for that will fail. Fix those tests, and introduce a check that prevents reintroduction.

rebase: do not raise an UnboundLocalError when called wrong (issue4106) When the base is not found, we should not raise a traceback about a not defined variable. This hides the real problem: the function rebasenode was (probably) called wrong. An AssertionError is raised to highlight that the caller of the function did something wrong. An alternative approach is to only assign None to the variable "base" and let the merge mechanism raise an abort message. This was the behaviour for this case before ad9db007656f. But the only known case for this problem is when an extension calls this function wrong. An AssertionError makes this clearer than an abort message. When a different case is detected, the behaviour can be improved then.

exchange: fix docs for pulloperation 'remote' is actually the remote, not the repo one is pulling into. This confused me quite a bit.

merge with stable

resolve: use "other" changeset from merge state (issue4163) We can use the "other" data from the recorded merge state instead of inferring what the other could be from working copy parent. This will allow resolve to fulfil its duty even when the second parent have been dropped. Most direct benefit is fixing a regression in backout.

merge: add "other" file node in the merge state file This data is mostly redundant with the "other" changeset node (+ other changeset file path). However, more data never hurt. The old format do not store it so this require some dancing to add and remove it on demand.

merge: infer the "other" changeset when falling back to v1 format When we have to fallback to the old version of the file, we infer the "other" from current working directory parent. The same way it is currently done in the resolve command. This is know to have shortcoming… but we cannot do better from the data contained in the old file format. This is actually the motivation to add this new file format.

merge: record the "other" node in merge state We need to record the merge we were merging with. This solve multiple bug with resolve when dropping the second parent after a merge. This happen a lot when doing special merge (overriding the ancestor). Backout, shelve, rebase, etc. can takes advantage of it. This changeset just add the information in the merge state. We'll use it in the resolve process in a later changeset.
