changegroup: capture revision delta in a data structure
The current changegroup generation code is tightly coupled to
the revlog API. This tight coupling makes it difficult to implement
alternate storage backends without requiring a large surface area
of the revlog API to be exposed. This is not desirable.
In order to support changegroup generation with non-revlog storage,
we'll need to abstract the concept of delta generation.
This commit is the first step down that road. We introduce a
data structure for representing a delta in a changegroup.
The API still leaves a lot to be desired. But at least we now
have separation between data and actions performed on it.
As part of this, we tweak behavior slightly: we no longer
concatenate the delta prefix with the metadata header. Instead,
we track and emit the prefix as a separate chunk. This shouldn't
have any meaningful impact since all the chunks just get sent to
the wire, the compressor, etc.
Because we're introducing a new object, this does add some
overhead to changegroup execution. `hg perfchangegroupchangelog`
on my clone of the Mercurial repo (~40,000 visible revisions in
the changelog) slows down a bit:
! wall 1.268600 comb 1.270000 user 1.270000 sys 0.000000 (best of 8)
! wall 1.419479 comb 1.410000 user 1.410000 sys 0.000000 (best of 8)
With for `hg bundle -t none-v2 -a /dev/null`:
before: real 6.610 secs (user 6.460+0.000 sys 0.140+0.000)
after: real 7.210 secs (user 7.060+0.000 sys 0.140+0.000)
I plan to claw back this regression in future commits. And I may
even do away with this data structure once the refactor is complete.
For now, it makes things easier to comprehend.

Mercurial colorizes output from several commands.
For example, the diff command shows additions in green and deletions
in red, while the status command shows modified files in magenta. Many
other commands have analogous colors. It is possible to customize
these colors.
To enable color (default) whenever possible use::
[ui]
color = yes
To disable color use::
[ui]
color = no
See :hg:`help config.ui.color` for details.
.. container:: windows
The default pager on Windows does not support color, so enabling the pager
will effectively disable color. See :hg:`help config.ui.paginate` to disable
the pager. Alternately, MSYS and Cygwin shells provide `less` as a pager,
which can be configured to support ANSI color mode. Windows 10 natively
supports ANSI color mode.
Mode
====
Mercurial can use various systems to display color. The supported modes are
``ansi``, ``win32``, and ``terminfo``. See :hg:`help config.color` for details
about how to control the mode.
Effects
=======
Other effects in addition to color, like bold and underlined text, are
also available. By default, the terminfo database is used to find the
terminal codes used to change color and effect. If terminfo is not
available, then effects are rendered with the ECMA-48 SGR control
function (aka ANSI escape codes).
The available effects in terminfo mode are 'blink', 'bold', 'dim',
'inverse', 'invisible', 'italic', 'standout', and 'underline'; in
ECMA-48 mode, the options are 'bold', 'inverse', 'italic', and
'underline'. How each is rendered depends on the terminal emulator.
Some may not be available for a given terminal type, and will be
silently ignored.
If the terminfo entry for your terminal is missing codes for an effect
or has the wrong codes, you can add or override those codes in your
configuration::
[color]
terminfo.dim = \E[2m
where '\E' is substituted with an escape character.
Labels
======
Text receives color effects depending on the labels that it has. Many
default Mercurial commands emit labelled text. You can also define
your own labels in templates using the label function, see :hg:`help
templates`. A single portion of text may have more than one label. In
that case, effects given to the last label will override any other
effects. This includes the special "none" effect, which nullifies
other effects.
Labels are normally invisible. In order to see these labels and their
position in the text, use the global --color=debug option. The same
anchor text may be associated to multiple labels, e.g.
[log.changeset changeset.secret|changeset: 22611:6f0a53c8f587]
The following are the default effects for some default labels. Default
effects may be overridden from your configuration file::
[color]
status.modified = blue bold underline red_background
status.added = green bold
status.removed = red bold blue_background
status.deleted = cyan bold underline
status.unknown = magenta bold underline
status.ignored = black bold
# 'none' turns off all effects
status.clean = none
status.copied = none
qseries.applied = blue bold underline
qseries.unapplied = black bold
qseries.missing = red bold
diff.diffline = bold
diff.extended = cyan bold
diff.file_a = red bold
diff.file_b = green bold
diff.hunk = magenta
diff.deleted = red
diff.inserted = green
diff.changed = white
diff.tab =
diff.trailingwhitespace = bold red_background
# Blank so it inherits the style of the surrounding label
changeset.public =
changeset.draft =
changeset.secret =
resolve.unresolved = red bold
resolve.resolved = green bold
bookmarks.active = green
branches.active = none
branches.closed = black bold
branches.current = green
branches.inactive = none
tags.normal = green
tags.local = black bold
rebase.rebased = blue
rebase.remaining = red bold
shelve.age = cyan
shelve.newest = green bold
shelve.name = blue bold
histedit.remaining = red bold
Custom colors
=============
Because there are only eight standard colors, Mercurial allows you
to define color names for other color slots which might be available
for your terminal type, assuming terminfo mode. For instance::
color.brightblue = 12
color.pink = 207
color.orange = 202
to set 'brightblue' to color slot 12 (useful for 16 color terminals
that have brighter colors defined in the upper eight) and, 'pink' and
'orange' to colors in 256-color xterm's default color cube. These
defined colors may then be used as any of the pre-defined eight,
including appending '_background' to set the background to that color.
