subrepo: replace "_calcfilehash" invocation by "vfs.tryread" "_calcfilehash" can be completely replaced by simple "vfs.tryread" invocation. def _calcfilehash(filename): data = '' if os.path.exists(filename): fd = open(filename, 'rb') data = fd.read() fd.close() return util.sha1(data).hexdigest() Building absolute path "absname" up by "self._repo.join" for files in "filelist" is avoided, because "vfs.tryread" does so internally.
