push: explicitly encode a list of obsmarkers to push
Sending obsmarkers through pushkey requires extra encoding (since pushkey can't
take binary content) and slicing (since we can hit http header limit). As we
send all obsolescences markers that exists in the repo for each push, we used to
just look at the content of the "obsolete" pushkey namespace (already encoded
and sliced) and send its
content.
However, future changeset will make it possible to push only parts of the
obsmarkers. To prepare this we now explicitly encode a list of markers. The list
of markers is still "all of them" but future changeset will takes care
of that.
The new code uses a "_protected" method but that seems reasonable to keep it
private as this is the is the only external user of it and this whole pushing
obsmarker through pushkey things in fairly hacky already)

merge: add an internal:merge3 tool
This variant gives access to a feature already present in ``internal:merge``:
displaying merge base content.
In the basic merge (calling ``hg merge``) case, including more context to the
merge markers is an interesting addition.
But this extra information is the only viable option in case conflict from
grafting (, rebase, etc…).
When grafting ``source`` on ``destination``, the parent of ``source`` is
used as the ``base``. When all three changesets add content in the same
location, the marker for ``source`` will contains both ``base`` and ``source``
content. Without the content of base exposed, there is no way for the user
to discriminate content coming from ``base`` and content commit from ``source``.
Practical example (all addition are in the same place):
* ``destination`` adds ``Dest-Content``
* ``base`` adds ``Base-Content``
* ``source`` adds ``Src-Content``
Grafting ``source`` on ``destination`` will produce the following conflict:
<<<<<<< destination
Dest-Content
=======
Base-Content
Src-Content
>>>>>>> source
This that case there is no way to distinct ``base`` from ``source``. As a result
content from ``base`` are likely to slip in the resolution result.
However, adding the base make the situation very clear:
<<<<<<< destination
Dest-Content
||||||| base
Base-Content
======= base
Base-Content
Src-Content
>>>>>>> source
Once the base is added, the addition from the grafted changeset is made clear.
User can compare the content from ``base`` and ``source`` to make an enlightened
decision during merge resolution.

merge: use no-minimal for premerge too
ecc1387138ba disabled minimal for `internal:merge` but forgot to also disabled
it for premerge. This is now done.
This gives me an occasion to shamelessly includes my explanation of why this
minimisation feature must disappear:
[this is why it's pointless to reject patches with misspellings in the
description - mpm]
Detailled explanation
=====================
The ``simplemerge`` code use in ``internal:merge`` has a feature called
"minimization". It reprocess conflicting chunks to find common changes
inside them and excludes such common sections from the marker.
This approach seems a significant win at first glance but produces very
confusing results in some other cases.
Simple example
--------------
A simple example is enough to show the benefit of this feature. In this merge,
both sides change all numbers from letters to digits, but one side is also
changing some values.
$ cat << EOF > base
> Small Mathematical Series.
> One
> Two
> Three
> Four
> Five
> Hop we are done.
> EOF
$ cat << EOF > local
> Small Mathematical Series.
> 1
> 2
> 3
> 4
> 5
> Hop we are done.
> EOF
$ cat << EOF > other
> Small Mathematical Series.
> 1
> 2
> 3
> 6
> 8
> Hop we are done.
> EOF
In the minimalists case, the markers focus on the disagreement between the two
sides.
$ $TESTDIR/../contrib/simplemerge --print local base other
Small Mathematical Series.
1
2
3
<<<<<<< local
4
5
=======
6
8
>>>>>>> other
Hop we are done.
warning: conflicts during merge.
[1]
In the non minimalist case, the whole chunk is included in the conflict marker.
Making it harder spot actual differences.
$ $TESTDIR/../contrib/simplemerge --print --no-minimal local base other
Small Mathematical Series.
<<<<<<< local
1
2

Practical Advantages of minimalisation: merge of grafted change
---------------------------------------------------------------
This feature can be very useful when a change have been grafted in another
branch and then some change have been made to the grafted code.
$ cat << EOF > base
> # empty file
> EOF
$ cat << EOF > local
> def somefunction(one, two):
> some = one
> stuff = two
> are(happening)
> here()
> EOF
$ cat << EOF > other
> def somefunction(one, two):
> some = one
> change = two
> are(happening)
> here()
> EOF
The minimalist case recognises the grafted content as similar and highlight the
actual change.
$ $TESTDIR/../contrib/simplemerge --print local base other
def somefunction(one, two):
some = one
<<<<<<< local
stuff = two
=======
change = two
>>>>>>> other
are(happening)
here()
warning: conflicts during merge.
[1]
Again, the non-minimalist case produces a larger conflict. Making it harder to
spot the actual conflict.
$ $TESTDIR/../contrib/simplemerge --print --no-minimal local base other
<<<<<<< local
def somefunction(one, two):
some = one
stuff = two
are(happening)
here()
=======
def somefunction(one, two):
some = one
change = two
are(happening)
here()
>>>>>>> other
warning: conflicts during merge.
[1]
Practical disadvantage: multiple functions on each side
---------------------------------------------------------------
So, if this "minimalist" help so much, why introduce a setting to disable it?
The issue is that this minimisation will grab any common lines for breaking
chunks. This may result in partial context when solving a merge. The most
simple example is a merge where both side added some (different) functions
separated by blank lines. The "minimalist" approach will recognise the blank
line as "common" and over slice the chunks, turning a simple conflict case into
multiple pairs of conflicting functions.
$ cat << EOF > base
> # empty file
> EOF
$ cat << EOF > local
> def function1():
> bla()
> bla()
> bla()
>
> def function2():
> ble()
> ble()
> ble()
> EOF
$ cat << EOF > other
> def function3():
> bli()
> bli()
> bli()
>
> def function4():
> blo()
> blo()
> blo()
> EOF
The minimal case presents each function as a separated context.
$ $TESTDIR/../contrib/simplemerge --print local base other
<<<<<<< local
def function1():
bla()
bla()
bla()
=======
def function3():
bli()
bli()
bli()
>>>>>>> other
<<<<<<< local
def function2():
ble()
ble()
ble()
=======
def function4():
blo()
blo()
blo()
>>>>>>> other
warning: conflicts during merge.
[1]
The non-minimalist approach produces a simpler version with more context in
each block. Solving such conflicts is usually as simple as dropping the 3 lines
dedicated to markers.
$ $TESTDIR/../contrib/simplemerge --prin --no-minimal local base other
<<<<<<< local
def function1():
bla()
bla()
bla()
def function2():
ble()
ble()
ble()
=======
def function3():
bli()
bli()
bli()
def function4():
blo()
blo()
blo()
>>>>>>> other
warning: conflicts during merge.

Practical disaster: programing language have a lot of common line
=================================================================
If only blank lines between function where the only frequent content of a code
file. But programming language tend to repeat them self much more often. In that
case, the minimalist approach turns a simple conflict into a massive mess.
Consider this example where two unrelated functions are added on each side.
Those function shares common programming constructs by chance.
$ cat << EOF > base
> # empty file
> EOF
$ cat << EOF > local
> def longfunction():
> if bla:
> foo
> else:
> bar
> try:
> ret = some stuff
> except Exception:
> ret = None
> if ret is not None:
> return ret
> return 0
>
> def shortfunction(foo):
> goo()
> ret = foo + 5
> return ret
> EOF
$ cat << EOF > other
> def otherlongfunction():
> for x in xxx:
> if coin:
> break
> tutu
> else:
> bar()
> baz()
> ret = week()
> try:
> groumpf = tutu
> fool()
> except Exception:
> zoo()
> pool()
> if cond:
> return ret
>
> # some big block
> ret ** 6
> koin()
> return ret
> EOF
The minimalist approach will hash the whole conflict into small chunks that
does not match any meaningful semantic and are impossible to solve.
$ $TESTDIR/../contrib/simplemerge --print local base other
<<<<<<< local
def longfunction():
if bla:
foo
=======
def otherlongfunction():
for x in xxx:
if coin:
break
tutu
>>>>>>> other
else:
<<<<<<< local
bar
=======
bar()
baz()
ret = week()
>>>>>>> other
try:
<<<<<<< local
ret = some stuff
=======
groumpf = tutu
fool()

except Exception:
<<<<<<< local
ret = None
if ret is not None:

return 0

<<<<<<< local
def shortfunction(foo):
goo()
ret = foo + 5
=======
# some big block
ret ** 6
koin()
>>>>>>> other
return ret
warning: conflicts during merge.
[1]
The non minimalist approach will properly produce a single set of conflict
markers. Highlighting that the two chunk are unrelated. Such conflict from
unrelated content added at the same place is usually solved by dropping the
marker an keeping both content. Something impossible with minimised markers.
$ $TESTDIR/../contrib/simplemerge --prin --no-minimal local base other
<<<<<<< local
def longfunction():
if bla:

else:

try:
