absorb: aborting if another operation is in progress This increases safety of using absorb by both aborting when another operation is in progress (since the absorption could confuse any other command a lot) and holding the locks throughout the reading of the working directory (for which changes to absorb) and the reading of the repo (for which changes to absorb into).

repoview: keep the branchmap cache for the `served.hidden` view warm For the same reason we want to keep the cache for the `served` view up to date, we want to also keep the `served.hidden` view up to date. If some processes with a readonly access to the repo needs to access it, we better have the cache warm to avoid computing the same data over and over and over. In most case (no secret changesets), the "served" and "served.hidden" set will be identical and no cache will actually have to be updated.

repoview: introduce a filter for serving hidden changesets There are multiple usecase for being able to explicitly view or pull obsolete from a server. We need to be able to do so without exposing the secret changesets. We introduces a dedicated repository "view" to do so. Way to expose this "view" to the user will come later. To keep a behavior consistent with expected client/server behavior, the general idea is for the obsolete access to be explicitly requested by the code generating the request. In addition, the will be server side configuration to restrict the access to this feature.

repoview: fix conditional around unserved changesets The conditional could lead to wrong computation since we have more unserved changesets than just the "secret" phase. In addition, now that we have efficient caching of phased changesets, we don't need the conditional anymore.

branch: return early if we find an open named branch apart from default The current code builds a list of all the open named branches except default and then bool that. This is mostly fine until you get a repo which has thousands of named branches. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6211

branchcache: don't verify closed nodes in _branchtip() We only do membership testing there. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6210

branchcache: don't verify closed nodes in iteropen() We expect that the nodes passed to iteropen() will be verified. We are only testing for membership in closed nodes set, so we don't need to verify the whole closed nodes set. This will speed up calculating branchheads() when there are lot of closed nodes related to other branches. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6209

branchcache: lazily validate nodes from the branchmap On my personal hg-repository with 365 entries in .hg/cache/branch2, following are the numbers for perfbranchmapload. Before this patch: ! wall 0.000866 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (best of 2680) ! wall 0.001525 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (max of 2680) ! wall 0.001107 comb 0.001097 user 0.001086 sys 0.000011 (avg of 2680) ! wall 0.001104 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (median of 2680) With this patch: ! wall 0.000530 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (best of 4240) ! wall 0.001078 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (max of 4240) ! wall 0.000696 comb 0.000693 user 0.000677 sys 0.000017 (avg of 4240) ! wall 0.000690 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (median of 4240) On our internal repository with ~20k entries in branchcache, I see improvement from 0.125 sec to 0.066 sec which is 47% speed up. The above are the numbers of perfbranchmapload which shows how much time we saved by not validating the nodes. But we need to validate some nodes. Following are timings of some mercurial operations which have speed up because of this lazy validation of nodes: No-op `hg update` on our internal repository (Avg on 4 runs): Before: 0.540 secs After: 0.430 secs Setting a branch name which already exists without --force (Avg of 4 runs): Before: 0.510 secs After: 0.250 secs I ran the ASV performance suite and was unable to see any improvements except there was improvement of perfdirstatewrite() on netbeans which I think was not related. I looked into the commit code, the command which I am trying to speedup, it looks like it uses revbranchcache to update the branchcache. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6208

copies: move comment about implementation of mergecopies() to end When you start reading about mergecopies(), you want to know what it is, not that there are different implementations depending on config, so this patch moves that comment to the end. By the way, we don't seem to define what "copytracing" is. I'm just leaving it that way because I don't know what it is myself. It seems to be referred to only on mergecopies() (and not in pathcopies(), for example), so maybe "copytracing" is supposed to be exactly what mergecopies() does?

remotefilelog: return expected type from copies overrides copies._computeforwardmissing() and copies._computenonoverlap() return sets, so the overrides should also do that. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6234

changelog: extract a _string_unescape() to mirror _string_escape() We use our own _string_escape() to encode the "extras" field. Then we use codecs.escape_decode() to escape it. But there's also a little workaround for dealing with escaped text that looks like octal numbers since the fix for https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3156. This patch extracts the call to codecs.escape_decode() along with the fix for octal numbers and puts it in a _string_unescape(). It also updates the test to check for the octal-number case from the aforementioned bug. As you may have suspected, I want to be able to reuse this new function later.

copies: extract function for deciding whether to use changeset-centric algos We'll eventually have a "experimental.copies.read-from=changeset-only" option too and I don't want to spread the logic for determining if we should use changeset-centric of filelog-centric algorithms.
