subrepo: replace "os.path.exists" by "exists" via wvfs of the parent Existance of specified "path" should be examined by "exists" via wvfs of the parent repository, because the working directory of the parent repository may be in UTF-8 mode. Wide API should be used via wvfs in such case. In this patch, "/" is used as the path separator, even though "path" uses platform specific path separator (e.g. "\\" on Windows). But it is reasonable enough, because "store" and other management file handling already include such implementation, and they work well.

subrepo: avoid redundant "util.makedirs" invocation "util.makedirs" for the (sub-)repository root of "hgsubrepo" is also executed in the constructor of "localrepository", if "create" is True and ".hg" of it doesn't exist. This patch avoids redundant "util.makedirs" invocation in the constructor of "hgsubrepo".

merge: remove confusing comment about --force manifestmerge() has a piece of code that's roughly: if not force and different: abort else: # if different: old untracked f may be overwritten and lost ... The comment only talks about what happens when 'different' is true, and in combination with the if-block above, that must mean that it is only about what happens when 'force and different'. It seems quite fine that files are overwritten when 'force' is true, so let's remove the comment. As it stands, it can easily be interpreted as a TODO (which is how I interpreted it at first).

phases: read pending data when appropriate If we are called by a hook and pending data exists, read those.

bookmark: read pending data when appropriate If we are called by a hook and pending data exists, read it.

test-bundle2: check visible data in pre/post-transaction hooks We are about to make bookmarks and phases available for hooks. Therefore we need a witness for this new availability. We introduce the new hooks in a distinct changeset to reduce the noise in the ones with actual changes.

transaction: write pending generated files Such file are generated with a .pending prefix. It is up to the reader to implement the necessary logic for reading pending files. We add a test to ensure pending files are properly cleaned-up in both success and error cases.

transaction: have _generatefile return a boolean The function returns True if any files were generated. This will be used to know if any pending files have been written.

transaction: allow generating files with a suffix This will allow us to generate temporary pending files. Files generated with a suffix are assumed temporary and will be cleaned up at the end of the transaction.

transaction: fix some docstring grammar
