merge: add more thorough tests for --force With generate-working-copy-states.py generalized to support arbitrarily many changesets, we can use it for generating test cases for merge: use one changeset each for base, remote and local. With the various working copy states, this is a total of 104 cases. The first candidate for additional testing is 'hg merge --force'. Even though the force option is deprecated, it is convenient for testing because it can be tested without first needing to revert any changes. Except for the lack of checking for uncommitted changes, it differs in only a few cases from unforced merge. The new tests cover all the cases in the existing test-merge-force.t, except for the unforced merge case, which is covered in several other files anyway, so nothing remains of the file after this patch.

merge: display modify/delete conflict prompts in sorted order The order is determined by manifest.diff(), which currently is not sorted. There are currently no tests for this, but we will soon add some that would be flaky without this patch.

generate-working-copy-states: accept depth arguments on command line Add a parameter to generate-working-copy-states.py that indicates how many changesets are wanted. This number impacts all the subcommands. The current 'filelist' subcommand becomes 'filelist 2', the current 'base' and 'parent' subcommands become 'state 2 1' and 'state 2 2' respectively, while 'wc' becomes 'state 2 wc'. See earlier patch for motivation.

generate-working-copy-states: generalize for depth The script can currently generate filenames and contents for exactly two changesets plus the working copy. For some tests (e.g. of plain dirstate status), only one changeset is needed, while for others (e.g. merge), three changesets are needed. Let's prepare for such tests by generalizing the code for any number of changesets.

generate-working-copy-states: make 'tracked' a string The only places the 'tracked' variable is only used is where it's converted to a string, so let's simplify by using the string value directly.

merge: demonstrate that directory renames can lose local file content When a directory has been renamed on the local branch and a file has been added in the old location on a remote branch, we move that new file to the new location. Unfortunately, if there is already a file there, we overwrite it with the contents from the remote branch. For untracked local files, we should probably abort, and for tracked local files, we should merge the contents. To start with, let's add a test to demonstrate the breakage. Also note that while files merged in from a remote branch are normally (and unintuitively) reported as modified, these files are reported as added.
