patch: generalize the use of patchmeta in applydiff() - Add patchmeta.copy() and emit copies from iterhunks. Modifying patchmeta instances in applydiff() makes things simpler. - Rename selectfile() into makepatchmeta(). It is responsible for creating patchmeta for regular patches. - Pass patchmeta objects to patchfile() directly patchmeta instances were associated with git patches, for regular patches we had to pass additional variables to tell the patch intent to patchfile(). Instead, we generate patchmeta for regular patches and pass them. This will also help with patch filtering by matcher objects. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: allow whitelisting tests that should always run It's desirable to run some tests all the time, for example test-check-pyflakes.t and test-check-code-hg.py. This allows passing --whitelist as a path to a file (flag can be specified more than once) which contains a list of files to whitelist. Whitelisted tests are run even if they're blacklisted or wouldn't match a --keyword test run. For example, to do a quick test of usehttp2, one can now do $ cat > test-whitelist <<EOF > test-check-pyflakes.t > test-check-code-hg.py > EOF $ (cd tests && ./run-tests.py --extra-config-opt 'ui.usehttp2=true' > -k http -j 8 --whitelist test-whitelist) and have all http-specific tests run as well as the two code linters.
