Always copy the necessary files before applying a git patch This patch removes the "copymod" attribute from the gitpatch class.

This should fix issue762.

hg an a

echo "[ui]" >> $HGRCPATH
echo "strict=True" >> $HGRCPATH

hg an a
hg annotate a

echo % should succeed - up is an alias, not an abbreviation

hg up
