annotate: optimize line counting We used len(text.splitlines()) to count lines. This allocates, copies, and deallocates an object for every line in a file. Instead, we use count("\n") to count newlines and adjust based on whether there's a trailing newline. This improves the speed of annotating localrepo.py from 4.2 to 4.0 seconds.

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.
