rhg: desambiguate status without decompressing filelog if possible When status is unsure based on `stat()` and the dirstate if a file is clean or modified, we need to compare it against the filelog. This comparison can skip looking at contents if the lengths differ. This changeset optimize this further to deduce what we can about the length if the filelog without decompressing it or resolving deltas. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D11965

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.
