tags-fnode-cache: skip building a changectx in getfnode Building a changectx object is costly, doing it just to retrieve the revision number is suboptimal. Directly fetching the revision number from the changelog provide a sizeable speedup to `hg debugupdatecache`. ### data-env-vars.name = mercurial-2018-08-01-zstd-sparse-revlog # benchmark.name = debug-update-cache # benchmark.variants.pre-state = warm before: 0.213229 seconds after: 0.165577 seconds (-22.35%) # data-env-vars.name = mercurial-filtered-2019-11-22-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 1.200383 seconds after: 1.071618 seconds (-10.73%) # data-env-vars.name = mozilla-central-2018-08-01-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 1.465735 seconds after: 0.923128 seconds (-37.02%) # data-env-vars.name = mozilla-try-2019-02-18-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 6.511771 seconds after: 4.507316 seconds (-30.78%) # data-env-vars.name = netbeans-2018-08-01-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 1.023007 seconds after: 0.645026 seconds (-36.95%) # data-env-vars.name = pypy-2018-08-01-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 0.381141 seconds after: 0.268654 seconds (-29.51%)

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60

Build environment variables:

 * HGPATH: the path to the hg executable to call when CHGHG and HG are not set,
   instead of "hg"
 * HGPATHREL=1: when CHGHG and HG are not set, the hg executable will be ./hg
   relative to the chg executable. Only works on linux, falls back to "hg"
   otherwise.
