closing this to use the superseding issue1811

In fact the behavior of inotify for the last status call is correct, but the
dirstate is corrupted and feeding inotify wrong information:

$ hg init t
$ cd t
$ echo content > file
$ hg add file
$ hg qnew -f test.patch
$ hg status
$ hg qapplied
test.patch
$ hg qpop
patch queue now empty
$ hg status
$ hg qpush
applying test.patch
now at: test.patch
$ hg debugstate
a   0         -1 unset               file

Without inotify, debugstate outputs a "n" status for file instead of "a"

Most likely, this dirstate corruption is caused in the first place by a status()
call emanating from mq, getting wrongly answered by inotify. and mq then
restores wrong dirstate information when qpushing?

nose-ing djc: can you help me understanding _when_ mq would modify the dirstate
to add a file, and using which information?

Removing a file is also a problem:

$ hg init t
$ cd t
$ echo content > file
$ hg add file
$ hg commit -m "added file"
$ hg rm file
$ hg status
R file
$ hg qnew -f remove_file.patch
$ hg status
$ hg qpop
patch queue now empty
$ hg status
$ hg qpush
applying remove_file.patch
now at: remove_file.patch
$ hg status
R file

adding the corresponding (passing) test output :)

confirmed. Uploading a test file. 

The problem is quite simple:

* inotify listens for changes.
* after a qpush, it sees that a file is created in the repository
* inotify then checks the dirstate, and notices that the file is registered in
the dirstate.
* inotify then infers that the file was created by the user, and added to the
dirstate. Hence the 'A file' output on hg status.

Looks like this is actually an inotify bug -- I turned off inotify and it seems
to work OK.

I forgot to mention:  I'm running a snapshot from the main development
repository, changeset 8979:09c6735e3880 (installed via the Ubuntu snapshot PPA).
