fix(merge): follow renames as fossil's merge does

A file renamed on one side and edited on the other was merged as a deletion plus an addition: the edit was kept under the old name and the renamed copy arrived beside it, so fossil and go-libfossil left different trees and recorded different changes for the same merge.

Port fossil's rename matching (merge.c merge_cmd): the name pivot nid (pivot_find(1) of M and V, rerun against P when they differ), the renames from nid to V, P and M (path.c find_filename_changes, one way, now path.FilenameChanges), and the fv table those fill (add_renames, the nid!=pid name fill-in, then the files of V, P and M) as merge.MatchFiles/FollowRenames. Checkout.Merge classifies each matched file as before and renames on disk and in vfile a file the merged-in version renamed and the checkout did not, after the other steps, moving swapped names together and setting aside a removed or deleted row that held the new name. Where fossil would rename over a kept tracked file or an untracked one, Merge refuses, as it already does for adds.

Repo.Merge matches files the same way and commits the merged tree whole, recording the rename (FileToCommit.OldName); the whole-tree commit also stops it carrying forward a file the merge deleted. The CLI prints RENAME lines where fossil's merge prints them. check-in: 2c3a78cf5e user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-cones, trunk

Initial open source release

libfossil is a pure-Go implementation of the Fossil SCM, reading and writing the same .fossil SQLite repository format as upstream Fossil.

This is the first public release of code that previously lived in a private repository. The module path is github.com/danmestas/libfossil and the binary is named libfossil to avoid $PATH collisions with upstream fossil.

Included: - Repo lifecycle (create, clone), checkout/checkin, timeline, merge, diff, annotate, shun, tag, branch, bisect, stash, undo/redo - Sync-over-HTTP protocol (client and handler) - Two SQLite drivers: modernc (pure Go, default) and ncruces (wasm-capable) - Observer interfaces (SyncObserver, CheckoutObserver) with an optional OpenTelemetry implementation in observer/otel (separate submodule) - Deterministic simulation testing harness with BUGGIFY fault injection - Kong-based embeddable CLI under cli/ and a standalone binary under cmd/libfossil/ check-in: f5744359d3 user: [email protected] tags: trunk
