These tests cover basic functionality of mercurial operations on largefiles, as well as some more obscure functionality that I know to have been very problematic (hard to fix and easy to break) for largefiles in the past.

Uhh... I hope you're converting the existing tests, not writing
brand-new ones! I know I have spent a lot of time writing pretty good
tests for bfiles, and it looks like folks at Fog Creek spent a *hell*
of a lot of time writing tests of kbfiles. It's just too bad that they
made such enthusiastic use of my misguided hgtests.py framework [1].

[1] it was a nice idea, because it lets you write portable tests --
something Mercurial really needs. But unfortunately, writing those
tests is a royal PITA.
The new "unified" format introduced in hg 1.7 is vastly nicer; pity it's
Unix-only.
