We should probably clarify this.

Note that in other projects the normal approach is that at freeze,
conceptually all strings are sent to localizers, who can then take the
project-as-is-at-freeze-time and update translations, and then
asynchronously transmit their updates.

This means that if I change canonical, I've broken the translation system.

There are a number of ways to handle this, but it's worth
understanding (and documenting) how freezes should work for a project.

Sorry for not getting back to this quickly, fwiw, hoping translators
will complain is close to

 I know it's too late, but do we want to include backticks around the
 part that's a command?
 
 Otherwise it's hard for people (and translators, and people reading
 translations) to figure out what to do...

I'm not totally clear on what our approach to translations during a freeze is 
either. I'm going by the freeze rules on the wiki, and the fact that 
translation always happens on stable anyway, both of which lead me to believe 
it should be okay?

Last time this was discussed seems to be:

Changes to hint text should be fine during a freeze. No need to wait until 
November.

[PATCH v5] copy: distinguish "file exists" cases and add a hint (BC)

copy: distinguish "file exists" cases and add a hint (BC)

Users that want to add a copy record to an existing commit with 'hg
commit --amend' should be guided towards this workflow, rather than
reaching for some sort of uncommit-recommit flow. As part of this,
distinguish in the top-line error message whether the file merely
already exists (untracked) on disk or the file already exists in
history.

The full list of copy and rename cases and how they interact with
flags are listed below:

target exists  --after  --force  |  action
  nn  *|  copy
  ny  *|  (1)
  untrackedn  n|  (4) NEWHINT
  untrackedn  y|  (3)
  untrackedy  *|  (2)
  yn  n|  (4) NEWHINT
  yn  y|  (3)
  yy  n|  (2)
  yy  y|  (3)
   deleted n  n|  copy
   deleted n  y|  (3)
   deleted y  n|  (1)
   deleted y  y|  (1)

* = don't care
(1) : not recording move -  does not exist
(2) preserve target contents
(3) replace target contents
(4) : not overwriting - file {exists,already committed}

Credit to Kevin for wholly rewriting my table to cover more cases we
discovered at the sprint.

I think this change gets the hints correct in all cases, but I'd
appreciate close inspection of the test cases to make sure I haven't
gotten turned around in here.
