add dirstate._dirtypl variable Theoretically, it's possible to forget modified dirstate parents by doing: dirstate.invalidate() dirstate.setparents(p1, p2) dirstate._map The final access to _map should call _read(), which will unconditionally overwrite dirstate._pl. This doesn't actually happen right now because invalidate accidentally ends up rebuilding dirstate._map.
