revlog: add an experimental option to mitigated delta issues (issue5480)

The general delta heuristic to select a delta do not scale with the number of
branch. The delta base is frequently too far away to be able to reuse a chain
according to the "distance" criteria. This leads to insertion of larger delta (or
even full text) that themselves push the bases for the next delta further away
leading to more large deltas and full texts. This full text and frequent
recomputation throw Mercurial performance in disarray.

For example of a slightly large repository

  280 000 files (2 150 000 versions)
  430 000 changesets (10 000 topological heads)

Number below compares repository with and without the distance criteria:

manifest size:
    with:    21.4 GB
    without:  0.3 GB

store size:
    with:    28.7 GB
    without   7.4 GB

bundle last 15 00 revisions:
    with:    800 seconds
             971 MB
    without:  50 seconds
              73 MB

unbundle time (of the last 15K revisions):
    with:    1150 seconds (~19 minutes)
    without:   35 seconds

Similar issues has been observed in other repositories.


Adding a new option or "feature" on stable is uncommon. However, given that this
issues is making Mercurial practically unusable, I'm exceptionally targeting
this patch for stable.

What is actually needed is a full rework of the delta building and reading
logic. However, that will be a longer process and churn not suitable for stable.

In the meantime, we introduces a quick and dirty mitigation of this in the
'experimental' config space. The new option introduces a way to set the maximum
amount of memory usable to store a diff in memory. This extend the ability for
Mercurial to create chains without removing all safe guard regarding memory
access. The option should be phased out when core has a more proper solution
available.

Setting the limit to '0' remove all limits, setting it to '-1' use the default
limit (textsize x 4).

- toggle on and off the amend mode (to check that it toggles off)
- edit the hunk and quit the editor immediately with non-zero status
- commit

Editing a hunk puts you back on that hunk when done editing (issue5041)
To do that, we change two lines in a file, pretend to edit the second line,
exit, toggle the line selected at the end of the edit and commit.
The first line should be recorded if we were put on the second line at the end
of the edit.

  $ hg update -C .
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo "foo" > x
  $ echo "hello world" >> x
  $ echo "bar" >> x
  $ cat <<EOF >testModeCommands

Testing the review option. The entire final filtered patch should show
up in the editor and be editable. We will unselect the second file and
the first hunk of the third file. During review, we will decide that
"lower" sounds better than "bottom", and the final commit should
reflect this edition.

  $ hg update -C .

Check ui.interface logic for the chunkselector

The default interface is text
  $ cp $HGRCPATH.pretest $HGRCPATH
  $ chunkselectorinterface() {
  > python <<EOF
  > from mercurial import hg, ui;\
  > repo = hg.repository(ui.ui.load(), ".");\
  > print repo.ui.interface("chunkselector")
  > EOF
  > }
  $ chunkselectorinterface
  text

If only the default is set, we'll use that for the feature, too
  $ cp $HGRCPATH.pretest $HGRCPATH
  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [ui]
  > interface = curses
  > EOF
  $ chunkselectorinterface
  curses

It is possible to override the default interface with a feature specific
interface
  $ cp $HGRCPATH.pretest $HGRCPATH
  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [ui]
  > interface = text
  > interface.chunkselector = curses
  > EOF

  $ chunkselectorinterface
  curses

  $ cp $HGRCPATH.pretest $HGRCPATH
  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [ui]
  > interface = curses
  > interface.chunkselector = text
  > EOF

  $ chunkselectorinterface
  text

If a bad interface name is given, we use the default value (with a nice
error message to suggest that the configuration needs to be fixed)

  $ cp $HGRCPATH.pretest $HGRCPATH
  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [ui]
  > interface = blah
  > EOF
  $ chunkselectorinterface
  invalid value for ui.interface: blah (using text)
