files: speed up `hg files` when no flags change display
It's not the first time I see slowness from this command slow down
tools built on top of hg.
The majority of the time is spent merely printing the result before
this change, which is clearly not how it should be (especially since
the computation of the result also looks slow).
Running `hg files` in mozilla-central:
parent revision: 1,260s
this commit: 0,683s
this commit without batching ui.write: 0,931s
this commit replacing the body of the loop with `pass`: 0,566s
This looks like a prime candidate for a rust fast path, but until
then, it seems reasonable to optimize the python.

No arguments shows available views
$ hg init empty
$ cd empty
$ hg show
available views:
bookmarks -- bookmarks and their associated changeset
stack -- current line of work
work -- changesets that aren't finished
abort: no view requested
(use "hg show VIEW" to choose a view)
[255]
`hg help show` prints available views
$ hg help show
hg show VIEW
show various repository information
A requested view of repository data is displayed.
If no view is requested, the list of available views is shown and the
command aborts.
Note:
There are no backwards compatibility guarantees for the output of this
command. Output may change in any future Mercurial release.
Consumers wanting stable command output should specify a template via
"-T/--template".
List of available views:
bookmarks bookmarks and their associated changeset
stack current line of work
work changesets that aren't finished
(use 'hg help -e show' to show help for the show extension)
options:
-T --template TEMPLATE display with template
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
Unknown view prints error
$ hg show badview
abort: unknown view: badview
(run "hg show" to see available views)
[255]
HGPLAIN results in abort
$ HGPLAIN=1 hg show bookmarks
abort: must specify a template in plain mode
(invoke with -T/--template to control output format)
[255]
But not if a template is specified
$ HGPLAIN=1 hg show bookmarks -T '{bookmark}\n'
(no bookmarks set)
$ cd ..
bookmarks view with no bookmarks prints empty message
$ hg init books
$ cd books
$ touch f0
$ hg -q commit -A -m initial
$ hg show bookmarks
(no bookmarks set)
bookmarks view shows bookmarks in an aligned table
$ echo book1 > f0
$ hg commit -m 'commit for book1'
$ echo book2 > f0
$ hg commit -m 'commit for book2'
$ hg bookmark -r 1 book1
$ hg bookmark a-longer-bookmark
$ hg show bookmarks
* a-longer-bookmark 7b57
book1 b757
A custom bookmarks template works
$ hg show bookmarks -T '{node} {bookmark} {active}\n'
7b5709ab64cbc34da9b4367b64afff47f2c4ee83 a-longer-bookmark True
b757f780b8ffd71267c6ccb32e0882d9d32a8cc0 book1 False
bookmarks JSON works
$ hg show bookmarks -T json
[
{
"active": true,
"bookmark": "a-longer-bookmark",
"longestbookmarklen": 17,
"node": "7b5709ab64cbc34da9b4367b64afff47f2c4ee83",
"nodelen": 4
},
{
"active": false,
"bookmark": "book1",
"longestbookmarklen": 17,
"node": "b757f780b8ffd71267c6ccb32e0882d9d32a8cc0",
"nodelen": 4
}
]
JSON works with no bookmarks
$ hg book -d a-longer-bookmark
$ hg book -d book1
$ hg show bookmarks -T json
[

commands.show.aliasprefix aliases values to `show <view>`
$ hg --config commands.show.aliasprefix=s sbookmarks
(no bookmarks set)
$ hg --config commands.show.aliasprefix=sh shwork

o b757 commit for book1
o ba59 initial
$ hg --config commands.show.aliasprefix='s sh' swork
