dirstate-v2: Add storage space for nanoseconds precision in file mtimes For now the sub-second component is always set to zero for tracked files and symlinks. (The mtime of directories for the `readdir`-skipping optimization is a different code path and already uses the full precision available.) This extra storage uses the space previously freed by replacing the 32-bit `mode` field by two bits in the existing `flags` field, so the overall size of nodes is unchanged. (This space had been left as padding for this purpose.) Also move things around in the node layout and documentation to have less duplication. Now that they have the same representation, directory mtime and file mtime are kept in the same field. (Only either one can exist for a given node.)

-  Let’s call these files "tracked anywhere",
-  and "untracked" the nodes with all three of these bits unset.
-  Untracked nodes are typically for directories:
-  they hold child nodes and form the tree structure.
-  Additional untracked nodes may also exist.
-  Although implementations should strive to clean up nodes
-  that are entirely unused, other untracked nodes may also exist.
-  For example, a future version of Mercurial might in some cases
-  add nodes for untracked files or/and ignored files in the working directory
-  in order to optimize `hg status`
-  by enabling it to skip `readdir` in more cases.
+  The meaning of each bit is described below.
+  Other bits are unset.
 
-  When a node is for a file tracked anywhere:
-  - If `HAS_MODE_AND_SIZE` is set, the file is expected
-    to be a symbolic link or a normal file based on `MODE_IS_SYMLINK`.
-  - If `HAS_MODE_AND_SIZE` is set, the file’s owner is expected
-    to have execute permission or not based on `MODE_EXEC_PERM`.
-  - If `HAS_MODE_AND_SIZE` is unset,
-    the expected type of file and permission are unknown.
-  The rest of the node data is three fields:
-
-  * Offset 31:
-    4 unused bytes, set to zero
+* Offset 31:
+  A `size` field described below, as a 32-bit integer.
+  Unlike in dirstate-v1, negative values are not used.
 
-  * Offset 35:
-    If `HAS_MODE_AND_SIZE` is unset, four zero bytes.
-    Otherwise, a 32-bit integer for expected size of the file
-    truncated to its 31 least-significant bits.
-    Unlike in dirstate-v1, negative values are not used.
-
-  * Offset 39:
-    If `HAS_MTIME` is unset, four zero bytes.
-    Otherwise, a 32-bit integer for expected modified time of the file
-    (as in `stat_result.st_mtime`),
-    truncated to its 31 least-significant bits.
-    Unlike in dirstate-v1, negative values are not used.
-
-  If an untracked node `HAS_MTIME` *unset*, this space is unused:
-
-  * Offset 31:
-    12 unused bytes, set to zero
-
-  If an untracked node `HAS_MTIME` *set*,
-  what follows is the modification time of a directory
-  represented similarly to the C `timespec` struct:
-
-  * Offset 31:
-    4 unused bytes, set to zero
+* Offset 35:
+  The seconds component of an `mtime` field described below,
+  as a 32-bit integer.
+  Unlike in dirstate-v1, negative values are not used.
 
-  * Offset 35:
-    The number of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch,
-    truncated to its lower 31 bits,
-    as a 32-bit integer.
-
-  * Offset 39:
-    The sub-second number of nanoseconds elapsed since the Unix epoch,
-    as 32-bit integer.
-    Always greater than or equal to zero, and strictly less than a billion.
-
-  The presence of a directory modification time means that at some point,
-  this path in the working directory was observed:
-
-  - To be a directory
-  - With the given modification time
-  - That time was already strictly in the past when observed,
-    meaning that later changes cannot happen in the same clock tick
-    and must cause a different modification time
-    (unless the system clock jumps back and we get unlucky,
-    which is not impossible but deemed unlikely enough).
-  - All direct children of this directory
-    (as returned by `std::fs::read_dir`)
-    either have a corresponding dirstate node,
-    or are ignored by ignore patterns whose hash is in tree metadata.
-
-  This means that if `std::fs::symlink_metadata` later reports
-  the same modification time
-  and ignored patterns haven’t changed,
-  a run of status that is not listing ignored files
-  can skip calling `std::fs::read_dir` again for this directory,
-  and iterate child dirstate nodes instead.
-
+* Offset 39:
+  The nanoseconds component of an `mtime` field described below,
+  as a 32-bit integer.
 
 * (Offset 43: end of this node)
+
+The meaning of the boolean values packed in `flags` is:
+
+`WDIR_TRACKED`
+    Set if the working directory contains a tracked file at this node’s path.
+    This is typically set and unset by `hg add` and `hg rm`.
+
+`P1_TRACKED`
+    Set if the working directory’s first parent changeset
+    (whose node identifier is found in tree metadata)
+    contains a tracked file at this node’s path.
+    This is a cache to reduce manifest lookups.
+
+`P2_INFO`
+    Set if the file has been involved in some merge operation.
+    Either because it was actually merged,
+    or because the version in the second parent p2 version was ahead,
+    or because some rename moved it there.
+    In either case `hg status` will want it displayed as modified.
+
+Files that would be mentioned at all in the `dirstate-v1` file format
+have a node with at least one of the above three bits set in `dirstate-v2`.
+Let’s call these files "tracked anywhere",
+and "untracked" the nodes with all three of these bits unset.
+Untracked nodes are typically for directories:
+they hold child nodes and form the tree structure.
+Additional untracked nodes may also exist.
+Although implementations should strive to clean up nodes
+that are entirely unused, other untracked nodes may also exist.
+For example, a future version of Mercurial might in some cases
+add nodes for untracked files or/and ignored files in the working directory
+in order to optimize `hg status`
+by enabling it to skip `readdir` in more cases.
+
+`HAS_MODE_AND_SIZE`
+    Must be unset for untracked nodes.
+    For files tracked anywhere, if this is set:
+    - The `size` field is the expected file size,
+      in bytes truncated its lower to 31 bits,
+      for the file to be clean.
+    - The expected execute permission for the file’s owner
+      is given by `MODE_EXEC_PERM`
+    - The expected file type is given by `MODE_IS_SIMLINK`:
+      a symbolic link if set, or a normal file if unset.
+    If this is unset the expected size, permission, and file type are unknown.
+    The `size` field is unused (set to zero).
+
+`HAS_MTIME`
+    If unset, the `mtime` field is unused (set to zero).
+    If set, it contains a timestamp represented as
+    - the number of seconds since the Unix epoch,
+      truncated to its lower 31 bits.
+    - and the number of nanoseconds since `mtime.seconds`,
+      always stritctly less than one billion.
+      This may be zero if more precision is not available.
+      (This can happen because of limitations in any of Mercurial, Python,
+      libc, the operating system, …)
+
+    If set for a file tracked anywhere,
+    `mtime` is the expected modification time for the file to be clean.
+
+    If set for an untracked node, at some point,
+    this path in the working directory was observed:
+
+    - To be a directory
+    - With the modification time given in `mtime`
+    - That time was already strictly in the past when observed,
+      meaning that later changes cannot happen in the same clock tick
+      and must cause a different modification time
+      (unless the system clock jumps back and we get unlucky,
+      which is not impossible but deemed unlikely enough).
+    - All direct children of this directory
+      (as returned by `std::fs::read_dir`)
+      either have a corresponding dirstate node,
+      or are ignored by ignore patterns whose hash is in tree metadata.
+
+    This means that if `std::fs::symlink_metadata` later reports
+    the same modification time
+    and ignored patterns haven’t changed,
+    a run of status that is not listing ignored files
+    can skip calling `std::fs::read_dir` again for this directory,
+    and iterate child dirstate nodes instead.
+
+`MODE_EXEC_PERM`
+    Must be unset if `HAS_MODE_AND_SIZE` is unset.
+    If `HAS_MODE_AND_SIZE` is set,
+    this indicates whether the file’s own is expected
+    to have execute permission.
+
+`MODE_IS_SYMLINK`
+    Must be unset if `HAS_MODE_AND_SIZE` is unset.
+    If `HAS_MODE_AND_SIZE` is set,
+    this indicates whether the file is expected to be a symlink
+    as opposed to a normal file.
