util.opener: if requested, use atomicfile even if the file doesn't exist Right now, surprisingly enough, if you request an atomic file but the file still doesn't exist, you get a regular file. AFAICS, the only time this happens is during the initial creation of the dirstate.

#!/bin/sh

mkdir a
cd a
hg init
echo 123 > a
hg add a
hg commit -m "a" -u a -d "1000000 0"

cd ..
mkdir b
cd b
hg init
echo 321 > b
hg add b
hg commit -m "b" -u b -d "1000000 0"

hg pull ../a
hg pull -f ../a
hg heads
