dirstate-tree: Use HashMap instead of BTreeMap BTreeMap has the advantage of its "natural" iteration order being the one we need in the status algorithm. With HashMap however, iteration order is undefined so we need to allocate a Vec and sort it explicitly. Unfortunately many BTreeMap operations are slower than in HashMap, and skipping that extra allocation and sort is not enough to compensate. Switching to HashMap + sort makes `hg status` 17% faster in one test case, as measure with hyperfine: ``` Benchmark #1: ../hg2/hg status -R $REPO --config=experimental.dirstate-tree.in-memory=1 Time (mean ± σ): 765.0 ms ± 8.8 ms [User: 1.352 s, System: 0.747 s] Range (min … max): 751.8 ms … 778.7 ms 10 runs Benchmark #2: ./hg status -R $REPO --config=experimental.dirstate-tree.in-memory=1 Time (mean ± σ): 651.8 ms ± 9.9 ms [User: 1.251 s, System: 0.799 s] Range (min … max): 642.2 ms … 671.8 ms 10 runs Summary './hg status -R $REPO --config=experimental.dirstate-tree.in-memory=1' ran 1.17 ± 0.02 times faster than '../hg2/hg status -R $REPO --config=experimental.dirstate-tree.in-memory=1' ``` * ./hg is this revision * ../hg2/hg is its parent * $REPO is an old snapshot of mozilla-central Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10553

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
