push: restrict common discovery to the pushed set
This changeset make use of the ability of the set discovery to only search
common changeset for a subset of the repository. Restricting that search to the
pushed set avoid potential waste of time finding out the status of many
unrelated related revision.
Repository with many heads were especially badly affected by this. Here is an
example of findcommonhead discovery for pushing 11 outgoing changeset on a
repository with tens of thousand of unrelated heads. (discovery run over a ssh
link to localhost).
Before:
queries: 92
time: 44.1996s
After:
queries: 3
time: 0.6938s
A x63 speedup even with a network link without latency.

Mercurial supports generating standalone "bundle" files that hold repository data. These "bundles" are typically saved locally and used later or exchanged between different repositories, possibly on different machines. Example commands using bundles are :hg:`bundle` and :hg:`unbundle`. Generation of bundle files is controlled by a "bundle specification" ("bundlespec") string. This string tells the bundle generation process how to create the bundle. A "bundlespec" string is composed of the following elements: type A string denoting the bundle format to use. compression Denotes the compression engine to use compressing the raw bundle data. parameters Arbitrary key-value parameters to further control bundle generation. A "bundlespec" string has the following formats: <type> The literal bundle format string is used. <compression>-<type> The compression engine and format are delimited by a hyphen (``-``). Optional parameters follow the ``<type>``. Parameters are URI escaped ``key=value`` pairs. Each pair is delimited by a semicolon (``;``). The first parameter begins after a ``;`` immediately following the ``<type>`` value. Available Types =============== The following bundle <type> strings are available: v1 Produces a legacy "changegroup" version 1 bundle. This format is compatible with nearly all Mercurial clients because it is the oldest. However, it has some limitations, which is why it is no longer the default for new repositories. ``v1`` bundles can be used with modern repositories using the "generaldelta" storage format. However, it may take longer to produce the bundle and the resulting bundle may be significantly larger than a ``v2`` bundle. ``v1`` bundles can only use the ``gzip``, ``bzip2``, and ``none`` compression formats. v2 Produces a version 2 bundle. Version 2 bundles are an extensible format that can store additional repository data (such as bookmarks and phases information) and they can store data more efficiently, resulting in smaller bundles. Version 2 bundles can also use modern compression engines, such as ``zstd``, making them faster to compress and often smaller. Available Compression Engines ============================= The following bundle <compression> engines can be used: .. bundlecompressionmarker Examples ======== ``v2`` Produce a ``v2`` bundle using default options, including compression. ``none-v1`` Produce a ``v1`` bundle with no compression. ``zstd-v2`` Produce a ``v2`` bundle with zstandard compression using default settings. ``zstd-v1`` This errors because ``zstd`` is not supported for ``v1`` types.
