contrib: add a commit synthesizer for reproducing scaling problems
This adds two new commands:
- analyze examines an existing repo and writes out a statistical
description of its properties that contains no identifying
information.
- synthesize creates new commits based on the description generated
by analyze.
The intention is that a repo constructed using synthesize will have
properties that are vaguely statistically similar to the originating
repo, but entirely random content.
This can be useful for forecasting performance as a repo grows, and
for developers who want to find bottlenecks in proprietary repos
to which they do not have access.
$ hg init a
$ cd a
$ hg init b
$ echo x > b/x
Should print nothing:
$ hg add b
$ hg st
Should fail:
$ hg st b/x
abort: path 'b/x' is inside nested repo 'b' (glob)
[255]
$ hg add b/x
abort: path 'b/x' is inside nested repo 'b' (glob)
[255]
Should fail:
$ hg add b b/x
abort: path 'b/x' is inside nested repo 'b' (glob)
[255]
$ hg st
Should arguably print nothing:
$ hg st b
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Ama a
Should fail:
$ hg mv a b
abort: path 'b/a' is inside nested repo 'b' (glob)
[255]
$ hg st
$ cd ..
