update: allow setting default update check to "noconflict" The new value allows update (linear or not) as long as they don't result in file merges. I'm hoping that this value can some day become the default.

update: add experimental config for default way of handling dirty wdir This allows the user to set e.g. experimental.updatecheck=abort to abort update if the working directory is dirty, but still be able to override the behavior with e.g. --merge when needed. I considered adding a --mergelinear option to get back the old behavior even when experimental.updatecheck=abort is set, but I couldn't see why anyone would prefer that over --merge. The default is read in hg.updatetotally(), which means it also applies to "hg pull -u" and "hg unbundle -u".

update: accept --merge to allow merging across topo branches (issue5125)

merge: combine the "merge" cases in docstring table

merge: combine "dirty" cases in docstring table

merge: clarify non-linear default updates in docstring table Non-linear updates won't happen by default, regardless of -c/-C.

merge: combine the two "can't happen" cases in docstring table

merge: move "incompatible options" case first in docstring table

merge: make "linear" an input in docstring table Instead of having two ouputs, it seem simpler to have an addition input. This will allow further simplification.

merge: drop redundant column in docstring table The "same" and "cross" columns now have the same values, so let's combine them into "non-linear".
