[issue10572] Move test sub-packages to Lib/test

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

I would advise against this for two reasons:

- git does not track renames, contrart to Mercurial, so every log/diff command needs to analyse files to determine if something was moved rather than deleted + created; the matching can change depending on a command-line param, and git log needs a --follow option.

- github does not apply --follow, so history for moved files is not useful: https://github.com/idomic/cpython/commits/bpo-10572-testlibs/Lib/test/tkinter_test/test_tkinter/test_widgets.py (for some reason, annotate works: https://github.com/idomic/cpython/blame/bpo-10572-testlibs/Lib/test/tkinter_test/test_tkinter/test_widgets.py )
