perf: add the notion of "source" to perfrevlogwrite We want to test performance associated witch various way to add a new revision. They will be specified using this new argument.

perf: only display the total time for perfrevlogwrite if quiet This provide a simple way to get an overview of the total performance.

perf: offer full details in perfrevlogwrite This will be useful for people who want to study the timing pattern more closely.

perf: introduce a perfrevlogwrite command The command record times taken by adding many revisions to a revlog. Timing each addition, individually. The "added revision" are recreations of the original ones. To time each addition individually, we have to handle the timing and the reporting ourselves. This command is introduced to track the impact of sparse-revlog format on delta computations at initial storage time. It starts with the full text, a situation similar to the "commit". Additions from an existing delta are better timed with bundles. The complaints from `check-perf-code.py` are not relevant. We are accessing and "revlog" opener, not a repository opener.

tests: fix config knob in test-narrow-clone-stream.t Two patches landed in parallel and had a semantic conflict. This resolves the mess and leaves us with passing tests. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5231

ui: add config knob to redirect status messages to stderr (API) This option can be used to isolate structured output from status messages. For now, "stdio" (stdout/err pair) and "stderr" are supported. In future patches, I'll add the "channel" option which will send status messages to a separate command-server channel with some metadata attached, maybe in CBOR encoding. This is a part of the generic templating plan: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/GenericTemplatingPlan#Sanity_check_output .. api:: Status messages may be sent to a dedicated stream depending on configuration. Don't use ``ui.status()``, etc. as a shorthand for conditional writes. Use ``ui.write()`` for data output.

ui: hide fin/fout/ferr attributes behind @property functions This allows keeping references to fout/ferr/fin which are updated when these properties are changed. See the next patch.

ui: label prompt and echo messages I'm going to add a dedicated command-server channel for status messages, which carries metadata alongside a message text. 'ui.*' label provides a hint how message text should be processed.

ui: add inner function to select write destination I'm going to add a config knob to redirect any status messages to stderr. This function helps to switch underlying file objects. # no-check-commit because of existing write_err() function

ui: remove _write() and _write_err() functions

ui: move pre/post processes from low-level write()s to _writenobuf() This helps adding a dedicated stream for status/error messages. I don't want to add _write*() function per stream.

ui: pass in file object to _writenobuf() See the subsequent patches for why. The "if" block in _writenobuf() will be removed soon.

perf: fix perfrevlogrevisions --reverse Currently, 'endrev' equals `len(revlog)`, a revision that does not exist. When asking for the reverse order, the arguments passed to xrange are `xrange(len(revlog), startrev)` which then crash. We need to offset 'endrev' by one so we don't crash anymore. Also, we offset 'startrev' to ensure we get the same number of revisions with and without the `--reverse` option. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5228

procutil: import concerns about creationflags on Windows from D1701 I don't have the need anymore for the change in D1701 nor the time to investigate the changes on all supported Windows platforms. I import the stuff I learned on D1701 in the `runbgcommand` so the next people working on it can starts from there. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5229

localrepo: extract loading of hgrc files to standalone function Various 3rd party extensions supplement where per-repo config data lives. Looking at their sources, they resort to unorthodox means to inject the config data. And the way they do it is susceptible to corner cases. e.g. not processing automatic extension loads, not reacting to new or disabled extensions in configs, etc. This commit extracts the core logic of loading hgrc files into a standalone function so there is a clear function that can be monkeypatched to inject per-repo config data at repository open time.
