solaris: diff -u emits "No differences encountered" Solaris diff -u isn't silent when two files are identical, and tests that don't account for that will fail. Fix those tests, and introduce a check that prevents reintroduction.

rebase: do not raise an UnboundLocalError when called wrong (issue4106) When the base is not found, we should not raise a traceback about a not defined variable. This hides the real problem: the function rebasenode was (probably) called wrong. An AssertionError is raised to highlight that the caller of the function did something wrong. An alternative approach is to only assign None to the variable "base" and let the merge mechanism raise an abort message. This was the behaviour for this case before ad9db007656f. But the only known case for this problem is when an extension calls this function wrong. An AssertionError makes this clearer than an abort message. When a different case is detected, the behaviour can be improved then.

exchange: fix docs for pulloperation 'remote' is actually the remote, not the repo one is pulling into. This confused me quite a bit.

merge with stable

resolve: use "other" changeset from merge state (issue4163) We can use the "other" data from the recorded merge state instead of inferring what the other could be from working copy parent. This will allow resolve to fulfil its duty even when the second parent have been dropped. Most direct benefit is fixing a regression in backout.

merge: add "other" file node in the merge state file This data is mostly redundant with the "other" changeset node (+ other changeset file path). However, more data never hurt. The old format do not store it so this require some dancing to add and remove it on demand.
