add dirstate debugging commands
As I've played with various different merges and more recently
rawcommit, I've found the following patch to be very very helpful in
figuring out whether the dirstate is being left in a consistent or
inconsistent state with respect to the current manifest.
I attempted to deduce the invariants that were assumed by the current
code, and then check it in this code.
I may or may not have captured the design intent in this check; if not,
I'd be very happy to hear more clearly what was intended, so that I can
write tests to that expectation.
Anyway, here's the patch. Not sure if it's a good idea to commit it to
the mainline, or just leave it as a debugging aid. I attempted to
package it so that it doesn't interfere with normal usage.

331 | 1 A simple testing framework |
2 | |
332 | 3 To run the tests, do: |
4 | |
5 cd tests/ | |
6 ./run-tests | |
7 | |
331 | 8 This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes |
9 them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is | |
10 run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete. | |
11 | |
12 A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output | |
13 matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in | |
14 test-<x>.err. | |
15 | |
16 There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when | |
17 writing tests: | |
18 | |
19 - hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction | |
20 | |
21 for commit use -t "text" | |
22 for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge) | |
23 | |
24 - changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make | |
25 things like hg history output change | |
26 | |
27 use commit -t "test" -u test -d "0 0" | |
28 | |
29 - diff will show the current time | |
30 | |
31 use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\).*\)\t.*/\1/" to strip dates | |
32 | |
332 | 33 - set -x and pipelines don't generate stable output |
34 | |
35 turn off set -x or break pipelines into pieces | |
36 |
