convert: add a mode where mercurial_sink skips empty revisions.
The getchanges function of some converter_source classes can return
some false positives. I.e. they sometimes claim that a file "foo"
was changed in some revision, even though its contents are still the
same.
convert_svn is particularly bad, but I think this can also happen with
convert_cvs and, at least in theory, with mercurial_source.
For regular conversions this is not really a problem - as long as
getfile returns the right contents, we'll get a converted revision
with the right contents. But when we use --filemap, this could lead
to superfluous revisions being converted.
Instead of fixing every converter_source, I decided to change
mercurial_sink to work around this problem.
When --filemap is used, we're interested only in revisions that touch
some specific files. If a revision doesn't change any of these files,
then we're not interested in it (at least for revisions with a single
parent; merges are special).
For mercurial_sink, we abuse this property and rollback a commit if
the manifest text hasn't changed. This avoids duplicating the logic
from localrepo.filecommit to detect unchanged files.
#!/bin/sh
#
# Corrupt an hg repo with a pull started during an aborted commit
#
# Create two repos, so that one of them can pull from the other one.
hg init source
cd source
touch foo
hg add foo
hg ci -m 'add foo'
hg clone . ../corrupted
echo >> foo
hg ci -m 'change foo'
# Add a hook to wait 5 seconds and then abort the commit
cd ../corrupted
echo '[hooks]' >> .hg/hgrc
echo 'pretxncommit = sleep 5; exit 1' >> .hg/hgrc
# start a commit...
touch bar
hg add bar
hg ci -m 'add bar' &
# ... and start a pull while the commit is still running
sleep 1
hg pull ../source 2>/dev/null
