<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ejgish/Bug8009824-UpdateWebrevToUseHgExport/>
This change to webrev.ksh replaces the current method for generating a
patch with one that uses hg export -g, preserving copy, move and rename
operations. The current method results in a patch which does not
properly account for these file operations and cannot be safely applied.
As a result of this change, a valid changeset is generated that can be
safely applied by a committer (reducing the burden on and decreasing the
chance of mistakes by non-committers when preparing webrevs and
subsequent changesets to be sent to committers for pushing).
Note that the new method can only be used when there are committed
changes. If webrev is used against uncommitted changes in a users
workspace, the old method of generating the patch is still used.
(Another bug, another day :-))
Thanks,
Jim
