usage: configure uncompressed chunk cache through resource configuration Let's use this new concept for what it is meant for. This provides a sizable speed up for reading multiple revision for some complexe repositories. ### data-env-vars.name = pypy-2018-08-01-zstd-sparse-revlog # benchmark.name = hg.perf.read-revisions # benchmark.variants.order = reverse memory-medium: 1.892400 memory-high: 1.722934 (-8.61%) # benchmark.variants.order = default memory-medium: 1.751542 memory-high: 1.589340 (-9.49%)

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
