tests: correct (I think) command in test-largefiles-update When this test was introduced, it used the short-form of all the flags on this update invocation. I suspect, based on the "start with clean dirstates" comment and the fact that the no-exec branch of the #if guard leaves dirstate clean, that this should have been 'update -qCr' instead of 'update -qcr', but that a bug in largefiles --check handling left this problem unnoticed. I'll leave a breadcrumb further up about the current failure mode in the hopes that we can fix this some day. This was previously discussed in [0] but the trail in that thread goes cold after a few replies. Given that this is still a flaky test, that appears to only be passing by bad fortune, I think it's worth correcting the code of the test to make a correct assertion, and to keep track of the suspected bug with some other mechanism than an invalid test (if we had support for "expected failure" blocks this might be a worthwhile use of them?). 0: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2016-October/089501.html
