merge: do early copy to deal with issue636
Without copies/renames, merges source names are 1:1 with their
targets. Copies and renames introduce the possibility that there will
be two merges with the same input but different output. By doing the
copy to the destination name before the merge, the actual merge
becomes 1:1 again, and no source is the input to two different merges.
- add a preliminary scan to applyupdates to do copies
- for the merge action, pass the old name (for finding ancestors) and
the new name (for input to the merge) to filemerge
- eliminate the old post-merge copy
- lookup file contents from new name in filemerge
- pass new name to external merge helper
- report merge failure at new name
- add a test

output the current or given revision of files
Print the specified files as they were at the given revision.
If no revision is given, the parent of the working directory is used,
or tip if no revision is checked out.
Output may be to a file, in which case the name of the file is
given using a format string. The formatting rules are the same as
for the export command, with the following additions:
%s basename of file being printed
%d dirname of file being printed, or '.' if in repo root
%p root-relative path name of file being printed
options:
-o --output print output to file with formatted name
-r --rev print the given revision
-I --include include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude exclude names matching the given patterns
