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
hg init repo
cd repo
echo line 1 > foo
hg ci -qAm 'add foo' -d "1000000 0"
# copy foo to bar and change both files
hg cp foo bar
echo line 2-1 >> foo
echo line 2-2 >> bar
hg ci -m 'cp foo bar; change both' -d "1000000 0"
# in another branch, change foo in a way that doesn't conflict with
# the other changes
hg up -qC 0
echo line 0 > foo
hg cat foo >> foo
hg ci -m 'change foo' -d "1000000 0"
# we get conflicts that shouldn't be there
hg merge --debug
echo "-- foo --"
cat foo
echo "-- bar --"
cat bar
