convert/gnuarch: parse continuation-of revisions in gnuarch source
In GNU Arch, continuation-of was often used for:
- tagging revisions
- continue working on a project in a new archive, because arch
was scaling poorly in revision numbers (cat-logs were slow
to be parsed and scanned through)
- very similar to the previous point, fork his own branch of
a project.
Parsing this header information will allow to 'follow' new history
because it often hints at older/forked/personal revision trees.
This patch however just implements the parsing of the
continuation-of header. A followup patch will implement the proper
use of this new information.
#!/bin/sh
# In the merge below, the file "foo" has the same contents in both
# parents, but if we look at the file-level history, we'll notice that
# the version in p1 is an ancestor of the version in p2. This test
# makes sure that we'll use the version from p2 in the manifest of the
# merge revision.
