cmdstate: switch to new-style classes This isn't a huge issue and isn't necessary on Python3, but we're still Python2 compatible and we should be consistent (and strongly prefer new-style classes); this is the only class that is not deriving from object that I could find.

branching: merge stable into default

docs: add example for the `prune` command Giving at least one example helps clear up the syntax, especially since most options will follow a very similar pattern.

tests: add some more actions to test-issue-6028, describe what's being done This patch does two things: it explains what's happening in the test file so it's easier to understand, and also it adds checks that make sure something like swapping merge parents is not accidentally breaking anything. The primary reason to touch this test file was that it was broken by a change in core's merge.graft() that erroneously swapped merge parents. Since only evolve uses merge.graft() for merge commits and there aren't any tests in core for it, let's test it here. Plus, this test case is pretty simple and these additional checks don't make it too complicated.

topic: fix some API to make it more robust The new code can deal with changes in upstream mercurial.

rewriteutil: move allowdivergence check to foldcheck() foldcheck() calls precheck() first and then performs more fold-specific checks.

test: change to output around transaction timing CORE-TEST-OUTPUT-UPDATE: d7304434390f
