test-subrepo: demonstrate a status problem when merge deletes a file At the interactive update prompt, if (c) is chosen and then followed by `hg rm`, both `status -R` and `status -S` show the file as 'R', and `files -R` shows no files (OK, because explicitly removed files aren't supposed to be listed). If `rm` follows selecting (c), then both flavors of `status` list the file as '!', and `files -R` lists the missing file. So somehow, the (d) option has followed a third path.

subrepo: make the output references to subrepositories consistent Well, mostly. The annotation on subrepo functions tacks on a parenthetical to the abort message, which seems reasonable for a generic mechanism. But now all messages consistently spell out 'subrepository', and double quote the name of the repo. I noticed the inconsistency in the change for the last commit.

subrepo: consider the parent repo dirty when a file is missing This simply passes the 'missing' argument down from the context of the parent repo, so the same rules apply. subrepo.bailifchanged() is hardcoded to care about missing files, because cmdutil.bailifchanged() is too. In the end, it looks like this addresses inconsistencies with 'archive', 'identify', blackbox logs, 'merge', and 'update --check'. I wasn't sure how to implement this in git, so that's left for someone more familiar with it.

archival: flag missing files as a dirty wdir() in the metadata file (BC) Since the identify command adds a '+' for missing files, it's reasonable that this does too. Perhaps the node field's hex value should be p1+p2 for merges?

cmdutil: simplify the dirty check in howtocontinue() This is equivalent to the previous code. But it seems to me that if the user is going to be prompted that a commit is needed, missing files should be ignored, but branch and merge changes shouldn't be.

blackbox: simplify the dirty check Same idea (and possibly incorrect behavior) as the previous commit.

identify: simplify the dirty check This is equivalent to the previous code, but it seems better to be explicit about what aspects of dirty are being ignored. Perhaps they shouldn't be, since the help text says 'followed by a "+" if the working directory has uncommitted changes'. Both merges and branch changes are committable, even if the files are unchanged. Additionally, this will make the `identify` command notice missing subrepo files, once subrepos are taught to look for missing files.

tests: tweak the subrepo dirty state tests This is a continuation of 439b4d005b4a. I overlooked that blackbox logs also have a dirty marker. Also, the `hg update --check` test was updating to a revision where the deleted file wasn't tracked, which is why status seemed to show the deleted file was restored.

match: combine regex code for path: and relpath: The regexes for path: and relpath: patterns are the same (since the paths have already been normalized at the point we create the regexes). I don't think the "if pat == '.'" will have any effect relpath: because relpath: patterns will have the root directory already normalized to '' by pathutil.canonpath() (unlike path:, for which the root gets normalized to '.' by util.normpath()).

match: remove unnecessary '^' from regexes The regexes are passed to re.match(), which matches against the beginning of the input, so the '^' doesn't do anything. Note that unrooted patterns, such as globs and regexes from .hgignore are instead achieved by adding '.*' to the expression given by the user. (That's unless the user's expression started with '^', in which case the '.*' is not added, perhaps to keep the regex cleaner?)

sparse: access status fields by name instead of deconstructing it The status tuples has had named fields for a few years now.

sparse: move printing of sparse config changes function into core As part of the port, all arguments now have default values of 0. Strings are now also given the i18n treatment.

sparse: move code for clearing rules to core This is a pretty straightforward port.

sparse: move post commit actions into core Instead of wrapping committablectx.markcommitted(), we inline the call into workingctx.markcommitted(). Per smf's review, workingctx is the proper location for this code, as committablectx is the shared base class for it and memctx. Since this code touches the working directory, it belongs in workingctx.

cleanupnode: do not use generator for node mapping The 'successors' part of the mappings used of be a tuple. This avoid issue from code consuming the generator "by mistake". For example, an extension inspecting the mapping content used to be able to iterate over the successors mapping without consequence. Since the mapping are small we do not expect any performance impact we use tuple again for this.
