commitctx: extract the function that commit a new manifest
The logic is large enough and isolated enough to be extracted, this reduce the
size of the main function, making it simpler to follow.
commitctx: stop using weakref proxy for transaction
This weakref proxy was introduced in 2007 by
30d4d8985dd8.
If I understand it correctly, the logic at that time was relying on the
transaction destructor, triggered at garbage collection time to rollback failed
transaction. passing the object to sub function directly mean it would live in
the function scope and be trapped in the traceback on exception, leading to the
transaction rollback too late in some case.
Modern transaction usage use explicit opening and closing of transaction and no
longer rely on some internal reference counting details. So this weakref proxy
is no longer necessary. Absolutely no test are affected when we drop it.
rebase: fix regression in file change detection introduced by
0ecb3b11fcad
Before
0ecb3b11fcad, `wctx._compact()`, was called by `wctx.nofilechanges()` as
a side effect. Later, it turned out that this side effect is needed to correctly
detect which files changed. See https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8733#131949 for
the history.
The problem could also be triggered by running `tests/test-rebase-parameters.t`
with `--extra-config-opt rebase.experimental.inmemory=1`.
