Fix zombie files in merge
Keir Fraser observed the following:
> I made a small test case that illustrates the bug in merging changesets
> with 'hg remove's in them:
>
> 1. Create a repository A containing files foo & bar.
> 2. Create clone called B.
> 3. A removes file bar, and commits this removal.
> 4. B edits file foo, and commits this edit.
>
> Now, if B:
> # hg pull ../A; hg update -m; hg commit
> Then bar remains deleted.
>
> If A:
> # hg pull ../B; hg update -m; hg commit
> Then bar is resurrected!
>
> It looks as though, when you merge across a branch, any deletions in
> your own branch are forgotten.
> ...
> Fixing this is a must, as zombie files are a real pain. :-)
Keir later patched our local copy of hg as shown below, which fixes
the problem. I've also enclosed a test which captures the test Keir
outlined...
Files deleted on a branch should not automatically reappear in a merge
Patch notes:
1. The first chunk does not change behaviour, but cleans up the code
to more closely match check of 'force' in the second chunk. I
think it makes the code clearer.
2. The second chunk fixes two bugs --
i. If we choose to keep a remotely-changed locally-deleted file,
then we need to 'get' that file. If we choose to delete it
then no action need be taken (it is already deleted in the
working manifest). Without this fix, choosing to delete would
get a Python traceback.
ii. The test for whether the file was remotely-created is
insufficient. It is only true if f is not in the common
ancestor. Otherwise the file was deleted locally, and should
remain deleted. (this is the most important fix!)
