revset.children: ignore rev numbers that are too low
This replaces unnecessary parentrevs() calls with calculating min(parentset).
Even though the min operation is O(size of parentset), since parentrevs is
relatively expensive, this tradeoff almost always works in our favour. In a
repository with over 400,000 changesets, hg perfrevset "children(X)" takes:
Set X Before After
-1 0.51s 0.06s
-1000: 0.55s 0.08s
-10000: 0.56s 0.10s
-100000: 0.60s 0.25s
-100000:-99000 0.55s 0.19s
0:100000 0.60s 0.61s
all() 0.72s 0.74s
The relative performance is similar for Mercurial's own repository -- several
times faster in most cases, slightly slower for revisions close to 0 and
all().

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/ Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
