contrib: PowerShell script to install development dependencies Configuring a Windows machine to hack on Mercurial is a bit of work and it isn't documented very well. This commit introduces a PowerShell script to automate going from a fresh Windows install to an environment suitable for building Mercurial, its installers, and running tests.

chistedit: change in-progress message Saying "running histedit" is an artifact of when chistedit was a separate thing from histedit. I found the message a bit confusing, since wasn't I running histedit from the beginning, just from the curses interface? The whole thing is now histedit, both the curses interface and the underlying procedure to apply a plan, so let's use a message that doesn't make a distinction.

perf: copyedit a few documentation strings Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6170

shelve: add --keep to list of allowables

perf: introduce a `perf.run-limits` options This options make it possible to configure the number of run that the extensions will perform. This is useful for automated benchmark or for performance measurement that need better accuracy.

perf: pass limits as a function argument The function applying the limit has no access to the configuration. Therefore, some higher layer will have to pass it as argument. We do this in an independent change to clarify the next change.

perf: more flexible implementation for checking stop conditions We want to make this logic simpler to configure. The first step is to stop hard-coding every values.

perf: document perfparents

perf: document config options We have configuration, so we better document it.

tests: use "perf" as a the extension name in test-contrib-perf.t This is simpler and seems more "inline" with the name people usually use for this extensions.

shelve: do not update when keeping changes, just move the dirstate This is to leave the working directory unchanged. We reuse the match object as an optimisation.

shelve: refactor _shelvecreatedcommit's match object into calling site We might need to use this match object again to move the dirstate in case the user requested to `--keep` the changes.

shelve: new keep option Does nothing yet. The docstring describes what it will soon be doing.

diff: support diffing explicit files in subrepos Most other commands support implied recursion based on file names already.

fix: make the order of the work queue deterministic This makes any output generated during the parallel phase of execution stable if parallelism is disabled. This helps write tests like that in the future. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6166

fix: allow fixing untracked files when given as arguments It's more useful to fix the file than to silently avoid it when the user does this: hg fix --working-dir untracked-file We will still do nothing to ignored files, even if they are specified. This may be safer, given that such files can unexpectedly slip into the arguments via a shell glob or fileset. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6165

branchcache: have a hasnode function to validate nodes Upcoming patches will delay node validation until it's required. So we need to a way in branchcache class to check whether a node exists or node. Other options were making repo or changelog an attribute of branchcache object. But the branchcache depends on filters so I decided to pass a function object. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6157

branchcache: add attributes to track which nodes are verified Half of the cost of loading branchcache comes from verifiying all the nodes it has. We don't need to verify all the nodes in all the cases. Sometimes we need to verify only a set of nodes for a set of branches. We can ignore nodes of other branches as we are not going to read them. This patch introduces two attributes to branchcache class. _verifiedbranches is a set which will tell the branches for which it's head nodes are verified. _closedverified is a boolean which will tell whether all closednodes are verified or not. Another idea which I had was to keep a set of nodes which are verified, but it will be more ugly and difficult to track things on node level.

branchcache: make entries a private attribute Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6155

branchcache: introduce hasbranch() This will be used to check whether a branch exists or not. This will optimized in future. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6154

branchmap: drop branchcache.setdefault() (API) All the callers are updated to call setdefault of branchcache.entries Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6153

branchcache: rename itervalues() to iterheads() The itervalues() exists because branchcache() had a dict interface. Since it no longer has a dict interface, it makes sense to have better function names. If a person does not understand how branchcache stores info, it will be hard for them to guess what itervalues() does. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6152

branchmap: remove the dict interface from the branchcache class (API) The current branchmap computation involves reading the whole branchmap from disk, validating all the nodes even if they are not required. This leads to a lot of time on repos which have large branchmap or a lot of branches. On large repos, this can validate around 1000's of nodes. On some operations, like finding whether a branch exists or not, we don't need to validate all the nodes. Or updating heads for a single branch. Before this patch, branchcache class was having dict interface and it was hard to keep track of reads. This patch removes the dict interface. Upcoming patches will implement lazy loading and validation of data and implement better API's. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6151

test-template: fix stdio mode on Windows Otherwise, CBOR data would be corrupted. Spotted by Matt Harbison.

samplehgrcs: update the list of suggested extensions Back in the day, this was color and pager, both of which are now default. Churn isn't that popular, but the other four below (obviously?) are.

samplehgrcs: clarify which lines should be uncommented The original wording has confused at least one person. Hopefully it's clearer this way. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55288177/adding-hg-strip-to-hgrc-config-file

templatefilters: add {x|cbor} filter for custom CBOR output

template: add CBOR output format The whole output is wrapped as an array just like the other serialization formats. It's an indefinite-length array since the size is unknown while encoding. Maybe we can add 'cbor-stream' (and 'pickle-stream') as needed.
