changectx: skip all invalid merge.preferancestor values A better fix for 17011b36aac7 that will ignore other kinds of "invalid" revisions.

revset: rely on built in iterator when possible in _generatorset.__iter__ Doing manual iteration is expensible. We rely on built in list iteration whenever possible. The other case has to become a closure we cannot have a both yield and return in the same function.

revset: prefetch an attribute in _generatorset.__iter__ Python's attribute lookup are expensible, lets do less of them. This gives us a 7% speedup on this revset iteration (from 0.063403 to 0.059032)

templater: add count template filter, plus tests Previously there was no way of telling how much children or bookmarks or tags a certain changeset has in a template. It was possible to tell if a changeset has either 0 or not 0 bookmarks, but not to tell if it has 1 or 2 of them, for example. This filter, simply named count, makes it possible to count the number of items in a list or the length of a string (or, anything that python's len can count). E.g.: {children|count}, {bookmarks|count}, {file_adds|count}. Testing the filter on node hash and shortened node hash is chosen because they both have defined length. As for lists of strings - children, tags and file_adds are used, because they provide some variety and also prove that what's counted is the number of string items in the list, and not the list stringified (they are lists of non-empty, multi-character strings). Additionally, revset template function is used for testing the filter, since the combination is very flexible and will possibly be used together a lot. (The previous version of this patch had an incorrect email subject and was apparently lost - patchwork says the patch has been accepted, but it's not so. The changes between that and this patch are minimal: now the filter does not disturb the alphabetical order of function definitions and dict keys.)

push: update bookmarks (on server) within a transaction A nice side effect is that bookmarks sent through bundle2 are updated within the same transaction as all other changes.

pull: perform bookmark updates in the transaction

bookmark: add a `bmstore.recordupdate` to plug bookmarks into the transaction Instead of manually writing bookmarks when they are updated, we can just record this update to the transaction and rely on it to update the on-disk file.

bookmarks: split bookmark serialization and file handling If we want to handle bookmarks in a transaction we need to decouple the file handling and the actual production of the content. This is similar to how we handle phases in transaction.

transaction: allow generating file outside of store We allow a vfs argument to `addfilegenerator`. This allows generating files outside of the store directory like bookmarks. However, this is not really working since we do not have the infrastructure to backup and restore files outside of store. By chance, the bookmark file is already backed up by another mechanism so we can restrict this new feature to bookmarks (which is our only interest here) and proceed.

transaction: work around and document issue with file backup The backup restoration is actually hard-coded for the main file. And this hard-coded list is the only one used when repairing an interrupted transaction from another process. Solving this problem is out of the scope of this series so we document it and work around its implications.
