flags: introduce explicit testing for merging change to exec flag It turns out that we do not seems to test the simple case for merging exec flag changes. More advanced case are test (merging exec flag without a common ancestors, merging with a symlink, etc…) but not the basic. We are about introduce various fixes to merging flag change across renames, having the most basic case tested first seems useful. note: We are only testing "adding" an exec flag here, not removing it. We introduce basic test on stable and will consolidate them on default. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8529

graft-state: save --base in graft's state, fixing bug with graft --continue Without this change, running graft --continue after grafting a merge commit using --base (and encountering conflicts) will output "skipping ungraftable merge revision" even though we specified a base in the initial graft command. Graft's improve behaviour is reflected in test-graft.t. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8578

relnotes: advertize the possibility to use rust I think the rust work may have been mentioned in the release notes, but if so only in passing, and not as an invitation to try it out. I think the next version is a decent time to do this, because the rust doesn't come with performance regressions AFAIK, speeds up status noticeably when it applies, which is the case for most invocations of status, and doesn't have the undesirable restriction of regex around empty patterns anymore. I am cheating a bit, because I'm giving numbers for `hg status` in mozilla-central, but they have one hgignore pattern that uses lookaround, ".vscode/(?!extensions\.json|tasks\.json", which I took out as it would cause a fallback to python when unknown files are requested. But it seems that they could express their hgignore differently if they were so inclined. Not sure if there are limitation other than linux-only that I am not thinking of but would be worth mentioning upfront, to avoid disappointing users?
