"""Obsolete markers handling

An obsolete marker maps an old changeset to a list of new
changesets. If the list of new changesets is empty, the old changeset
is said to be "killed". Otherwise, the old changeset is being
"replaced" by the new changesets.

Obsolete markers can be used to record and distribute changeset graph
transformations performed by history rewriting operations, and help
building new tools to reconciliate conflicting rewriting actions. To
facilitate conflicts resolution, markers include various annotations
besides old and news changeset identifiers, such as creation date or
author name.

The old obsoleted changeset is called "precursor" and possible replacements are
called "successors".  Markers that used changeset X as a precursors are called
"successor markers of X" because they hold information about the successors of
X. Markers that use changeset Y as a successors are call "precursor markers of
Y" because they hold information about the precursors of Y.

Examples:

- When changeset A is replacement by a changeset A', one marker is stored:

    (A, (A'))

- When changesets A and B are folded into a new changeset C two markers are
  stored:

    (A, (C,)) and (B, (C,))

- When changeset A is simply "pruned" from the graph, a marker in create:

    (A, ())

- When changeset A is split into B and C, a single marker are used:

    (A, (C, C))

  We use a single marker to distinct the "split" case from the "divergence"
  case. If two independents operation rewrite the same changeset A in to A' and
  A'' when have an error case: divergent rewriting. We can detect it because
  two markers will be created independently:

  (A, (B,)) and (A, (C,))

Format
------

Markers are stored in an append-only file stored in
'.hg/store/obsstore'.

The file starts with a version header:

- 1 unsigned byte: version number, starting at zero.


The header is followed by the markers. Each marker is made of:

- 1 unsigned byte: number of new changesets "R", could be zero.

- 1 unsigned 32-bits integer: metadata size "M" in bytes.

- 1 byte: a bit field. It is reserved for flags used in obsolete
  markers common operations, to avoid repeated decoding of metadata
  entries.

- 20 bytes: obsoleted changeset identifier.

- N*20 bytes: new changesets identifiers.

- M bytes: metadata as a sequence of nul-terminated strings. Each
  string contains a key and a value, separated by a color ':', without
  additional encoding. Keys cannot contain '\0' or ':' and values
  cannot contain '\0'.

### obsolescence marker flag

## bumpedfix flag
#
# When a changeset A' succeed to a changeset A which became public, we call A'
# "bumped" because it's a successors of a public changesets
#
# o    A' (bumped)
# |`:
# | o  A
# |/
# o    Z
#
# The way to solve this situation is to create a new changeset Ad as children
# of A. This changeset have the same content than A'. So the diff from A to A'
# is the same than the diff from A to Ad. Ad is marked as a successors of A'
#
# o   Ad
# |`:
# | x A'
# |'|
# o | A
# |/
# o Z
#
# But by transitivity Ad is also a successors of A. To avoid having Ad marked
# as bumped too, we add the `bumpedfix` flag to the marker. <A', (Ad,)>.
# This flag mean that the successors express the changes between the public and
# bumped version and fix the situation, breaking the transitivity of
# "bumped" here.
