Raphaël Gomès <rgomes@octobus.net> [Fri, 18 Aug 2023 14:34:29 +0200] rev 50990
rust: make `Revision` a newtype This change is the one we've been building towards during this series. The aim is to make `Revision` mean more than a simple integer, holding the information that it is valid for a given revlog index. While this still allows for programmer error, since creating a revision directly and querying a different index with a "checked" revision are still possible, the friction created by the newtype will hopefully make us think twice about which type to use. Enough of the Rust ecosystem relies on the newtype pattern to be efficiently optimized away (even compiler in codegen testsĀ¹), so I'm not worried about this being a fundamental problem.
