revlog: change generaldelta delta parent heuristic
The old generaldelta heuristic was "if p1 (or p2) was closer than the last full text,
use it, otherwise use prev". This was problematic when a repo contained multiple
branches that were very different. If commits to branch A were pushed, and the
last full text was branch B, it would generate a fulltext. Then if branch B was
pushed, it would generate another fulltext. The problem is that the last
fulltext (and delta'ing against `prev` in general) has no correlation with the
contents of the incoming revision, and therefore will always have degenerate
cases.
According to the blame, that algorithm was chosen to minimize the chain length.
Since there is already code that protects against that (the delta-vs-fulltext
code), and since it has been improved since the original generaldelta algorithm
went in (2011), I believe the chain length criteria will still be preserved.
The new algorithm always diffs against p1 (or p2 if it's closer), unless the
resulting delta will fail the delta-vs-fulltext check, in which case we delta
against prev.
Some before and after stats on manifest.d size.
internal large repo
old heuristic - 2.0 GB
new heuristic - 1.2 GB
mozilla-central
old heuristic - 242 MB
new heuristic - 261 MB
The regression in mozilla central is due to the new heuristic choosing p2r as
the delta when it's closer to the tip. Switching the algorithm to always prefer
p1r brings the size back down (242 MB). This is result of the way in which
mozilla does merges and pushes, and the result could easily swing the other
direction in other repos (depending on if they merge X into Y or Y into X), but
will never be as degenerate as before.
I future patch will address the regression by introducing an optional, even more
aggressive delta heuristic which will knock the mozilla manifest size down
dramatically.

def parsedag(desc):
'''parses a DAG from a concise textual description; generates events
"+n" is a linear run of n nodes based on the current default parent
"." is a single node based on the current default parent
"$" resets the default parent to -1 (implied at the start);
otherwise the default parent is always the last node created
"<p" sets the default parent to the backref p
"*p" is a fork at parent p, where p is a backref
"*p1/p2/.../pn" is a merge of parents p1..pn, where the pi are backrefs
"/p2/.../pn" is a merge of the preceding node and p2..pn
":name" defines a label for the preceding node; labels can be redefined
"@text" emits an annotation event for text
"!command" emits an action event for the current node
"!!my command\n" is like "!", but to the end of the line
"#...\n" is a comment up to the end of the line
Whitespace between the above elements is ignored.
A backref is either
* a number n, which references the node curr-n, where curr is the current
node, or
* the name of a label you placed earlier using ":name", or
* empty to denote the default parent.
All string valued-elements are either strictly alphanumeric, or must
be enclosed in double quotes ("..."), with "\" as escape character.
Generates sequence of
('n', (id, [parentids])) for node creation
('l', (id, labelname)) for labels on nodes
('a', text) for annotations
('c', command) for actions (!)
('C', command) for line actions (!!)
Examples
--------
Example of a complex graph (output not shown for brevity):
>>> len(list(parsedag("""
...
... +3 # 3 nodes in linear run
... :forkhere # a label for the last of the 3 nodes from above
... +5 # 5 more nodes on one branch
... :mergethis # label again
... <forkhere # set default parent to labeled fork node
... +10 # 10 more nodes on a parallel branch
... @stable # following nodes will be annotated as "stable"
... +5 # 5 nodes in stable
... !addfile # custom command; could trigger new file in next node
... +2 # two more nodes
... /mergethis # merge last node with labeled node
... +4 # 4 more nodes descending from merge node
...
... """)))
34
Empty list:
>>> list(parsedag(""))
[]
A simple linear run:
>>> list(parsedag("+3"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('n', (1, [0])), ('n', (2, [1]))]
Some non-standard ways to define such runs:
>>> list(parsedag("+1+2"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('n', (1, [0])), ('n', (2, [1]))]
>>> list(parsedag("+1*1*"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('n', (1, [0])), ('n', (2, [1]))]
>>> list(parsedag("*"))
[('n', (0, [-1]))]
>>> list(parsedag("..."))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('n', (1, [0])), ('n', (2, [1]))]
A fork and a join, using numeric back references:
>>> list(parsedag("+2*2*/2"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('n', (1, [0])), ('n', (2, [0])), ('n', (3, [2, 1]))]
>>> list(parsedag("+2<2+1/2"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('n', (1, [0])), ('n', (2, [0])), ('n', (3, [2, 1]))]
Placing a label:
>>> list(parsedag("+1 :mylabel +1"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('l', (0, 'mylabel')), ('n', (1, [0]))]
An empty label (silly, really):
>>> list(parsedag("+1:+1"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('l', (0, '')), ('n', (1, [0]))]
Fork and join, but with labels instead of numeric back references:
>>> list(parsedag("+1:f +1:p2 *f */p2"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('l', (0, 'f')), ('n', (1, [0])), ('l', (1, 'p2')),
('n', (2, [0])), ('n', (3, [2, 1]))]
>>> list(parsedag("+1:f +1:p2 <f +1 /p2"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('l', (0, 'f')), ('n', (1, [0])), ('l', (1, 'p2')),
('n', (2, [0])), ('n', (3, [2, 1]))]
Restarting from the root:
>>> list(parsedag("+1 $ +1"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('n', (1, [-1]))]
Annotations, which are meant to introduce sticky state for subsequent nodes:
>>> list(parsedag("+1 @ann +1"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('a', 'ann'), ('n', (1, [0]))]
>>> list(parsedag('+1 @"my annotation" +1'))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('a', 'my annotation'), ('n', (1, [0]))]
Commands, which are meant to operate on the most recently created node:
>>> list(parsedag("+1 !cmd +1"))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('c', 'cmd'), ('n', (1, [0]))]
>>> list(parsedag('+1 !"my command" +1'))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('c', 'my command'), ('n', (1, [0]))]
>>> list(parsedag('+1 !!my command line\\n +1'))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('C', 'my command line'), ('n', (1, [0]))]
Comments, which extend to the end of the line:
>>> list(parsedag('+1 # comment\\n+1'))
[('n', (0, [-1])), ('n', (1, [0]))]
Error:
>>> try: list(parsedag('+1 bad'))
... except Exception, e: print e
