patch: include flag-only file changes in "special" while filtering patch (issue5864)

Summary

This patch fix the issue5864 (or maybe issue5865 too) which occurs during
split (or I should say at the time of filtering the hunks in interactive
mode) where user hits a not ending loop of "no changes to record".
And it's not only the case for split it will happen in every interactive
case for e.g. hg commit -i or hg uncommit -i

After looking into code I found that when filtering we have some
notation called "special" for the file headers which doesn't contain
any hunk and just contain the header (for e.g. newly added empty file
or deleted file) where the user cannot change the content of operation.

And I think we can put this "flag-only" file change in that same bucket
of "special". But I doubt a bit about the case when a file have flag change
and atleast one hunk then user won't be able to separate the flag change
from hunks.
Changed test file reflect the fixed behaviour.

I moved the part when on windows (#if windows) at the top because I found it easy to include nested conditions then.

This happens because you can't have nested #if. i.e. this doesn't work:

#if ..
...
#if ..
...
#endif
#endif

You can list multiple requirements on a line, and it is effectively && IIRC.

I don't see any obvious differences in the output though, other that the bundle saving in the obsstore-off case. I think what you can do here is conditionalize just that line by appending (obsstore-off !) to it the way you would a (!), (glob), or whatever. That means it must be there for obsstore-off. Conditionalizing the output also makes it easier to see the differences between the difference cases in general.

Thanks, I have updated the patch. I though it is required to a test in this file to run with both the cases (obsstore-[on|off]). I have also removed rev no. from graph log as output differed because of stripping.

Correct, you do want to test both cases. But that happens because of the #testcases directive at the top of the file. Basically, it runs the file once for each declared case. Note that if you run test-split.t by itself, the test runner says it is running 2 tests. That's why the apparent discrepancy.

Thanks, it is more clear now.
