copies: detect case when a merge decision overwrite previous data We now detect and record when a merge case required special logic (eg: thing that append during the merge, ambiguity leading to picking p1 data, etc) and we explicitly mark the result as superseding the previous data. This fixes the family of test we previously added. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9613

copies: rearrange all value comparison conditional To properly handle the newly tested case (chaining of merges) we will need to detect more accurately when an actualy merging of the copy information (and superseed the two existing data). Before starting to do so, we need to reorganise the values comparison to introduce different conditional branches when such actual merging is needed/detected. To avoid mixing too many change in this complicated code, we do the reorganisation before adding the "overwrite detection" logic in the next changesets.

test-copies: introduce merge chains test for the P/Q merges This is similar to the chaining test we have for the A/E merges. The current result of this tests is wrong, as for the other test of the same familly. This will be fixed by a later changesets. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10059

test-copies: add a case involving the `b` and a new `r` branch That case involve a branch overwriting copies information from the other one. It is similar to the `mBFm` / `mFBm` case except this case actual content merge is involved too. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10058

test-copies: introduce case combining the `p` and `q` branch That case involves conflicting copies information from each branch. It is similar to the `mAEm` / `mEAm` case except this case actual content merge is involved too. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10057

test-copies: add a `q` branch similar to the `e` but on the new files This branch will be used to create merge case that mirror ones involving the `e` branch. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10056

test-copies: add a `p` branch similar to the `a` but on the new files This branch will be used to create merge case that mirror ones involving the `a` branch. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10055

test-copies: move the new files in the `i` branch The initial branch is moving some of the "same content" file around. We do the same for the "different content" before start to implement more tests. The new files have harmless impact of various existing tests. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10054

test-copies: add 3 new files with their own content The new `p`, `q` and `r` file mirror the `a`, `b` and `h` but with different content for each files. This will be used to create "mirror" test case that involve actual merge happening. For now, we only add the file to keep patches small and easier to review. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10053

test-copies: introduce merge chaing test for the A/E + change tests This is similar to the chaining test we have for the A/E merges (without change). The current result of this tests is wrong, as for they "without change counter part". This will be fixed by a later changesets. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10052

test-copies: add a "change during merge" variant to the A+E test Checks inline comment for details.

test-copies: filter out the linkrev part of `debugindex` It is not really useful for the tests and is a large source of churn when adding more revisions to the tests. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10050

test-copies: use "case-id" instead of revision number when listing sidedata The revision number are not very informative and can change when new changeset are added, creating unnecessary churn. We change the template before adding more test to improve clarify of the over changesets. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10049

patch: fix a formatting issue Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10079

log: fix handling of root (or empty) path provided by matcher (issue6478) Since 27d6956d386b "match: use '' instead of '.' for root directory", '.' should be translated to ''. We can't blame repo.file() about this because an empty string is invalid as a file path, but I found at least two callers (_makematcher() and revset.filelog()) would crash because of this path[0]. So let's make repo.file() accept an empty string. path[0] == b'/' wouldn't work on Python 3 anyways.

test-copies: add test chaining multiple merge Right now, the copy tracing logic take the right decision for merges, but it does not keep track of the right information about these decision and can fall into later traps. We start with highlighting this possibility by adding new tests, and we will fix them later. Check the inline test documentation for details.
