context.status: pass status tuple into _buildstatus By passing a status tuple (instead of the current list), we can access the status fields by name and make it a little more readable.

context.status: avoid de- and reconstructing status tuple We can just modify the status tuple we got from dirstate.status() instead of deconstructing it and constructing a new instance, thereby simplifying the code a little.

context.status: make _dirstatestatus() return an status tuple Letting _dirstatestatus() return an scmutil.status instance also means that _buildstatus() will always return such an instance, so we can remove the conversion from the call sites.

context.status: wipe deleted/unknown/ignored fields when reversed It makes no sense to request reverse status (i.e. changes from the working copy to its parent) and then look at the deleted, unknown or ignored fields. If you do, you would get the result from the forward status (changes from parent to the working copy). Instead of giving a nonsensical answer to a nonsensical question, it seems a little saner to return empty lists. It might be best if we could prevent the caller accessing these lists, but it's doubtful it's worth the trouble.

patch.trydiff: add support for noprefix

mdiff.unidiff: add support for noprefix

diff: add a --noprefix option See previous patch descriptions for the motivation. The tests reflect the current state of the world -- as we add support we'll see changes in the test output.

patch.diffopts: add support for noprefix In an upcoming patch we'll enable support as an option to 'hg diff' as well. The tests reflect the current state of the world -- as we add support we'll see changes in the test output.
