Make a dir named b that contains a file

  $ mkdir -p b
  $ echo c1 > b/c
  $ hg add b/c
  $ hg commit -m "c1"
  $ hg bookmark c1

Peform an update that causes b/c to be backed up

  $ hg up -q 0
  $ mkdir -p b
  $ echo c2 > b/c
  $ hg up --verbose c1

  b/c: replacing untracked file
  getting b/c
  creating directory: $TESTTMP/repo/.hg/origbackups/b
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (activating bookmark c1)
  $ test -f .hg/origbackups/b/c

Make a file named b

  $ hg up -q 0
  $ echo b1 > b
  $ hg add b
  $ hg commit -m b1
  created new head
  $ hg bookmark b1

Perform an update that causes b to be backed up - it should replace the backup b dir

  $ hg up -q 0
  $ echo b2 > b
  $ hg up --verbose b1

  getting b

  $ test -f .hg/origbackups/b

Perform an update the causes b/c to be backed up again - it should replace the backup b file

  $ hg up -q 0
  $ mkdir b
  $ echo c3 > b/c
  $ hg up --verbose c1

Cause a symlink to be backed up that points to a valid location from the backup dir

  $ hg up -q 0
  $ mkdir ../sym-link-target
#if symlink
  $ ln -s ../../../sym-link-target b
#else
  $ touch b

  $ hg up b1

#if symlink
  $ readlink.py .hg/origbackups/b
  .hg/origbackups/b -> ../../../sym-link-target

Perform an update that causes b/c to be backed up again - it should not go into the target dir

  $ hg up -q 0
  $ mkdir b
  $ echo c4 > b/c
