delta-find: set the default candidate chunk size to 10
I ran performance and storage tests on repositories of various sizes and shapes
for the following values of the config : 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, no-chunking
The performance tests do not show any statistical impact on computation
times for large pushes and pulls.
For searching for an individual delta, this can provide a significant
performance improvement with a minor degradation of space-quality on the
result. (see data at the end of the commit).
For overall store size, the change :
- does not have any impact on many small repositories,
- has an observable, but very negligible impact on most larger repositories.
- One private repository we use for testing sees a small increase in size
(1%) in the narrower version.
We will try to get more numbers on a larger version of that repository to
make sure nothing pathological happens.
We pick "10" as the limit as "5" seems a bit more risky.
There are room to improve the current code, by using more aggressive filtering
and better (i.e any) sorting of the candidates. However this is already a large
improvement for pathological cases, with little impact in the common
situations.
The initial motivation for this change is to fix performance of delta
computation for a file where the previous code ended up testing 20 000 possible
candidate-bases in one go, which is… slow. This affected about ½ of the file
revisions leading to atrocious performance, especially during some push/pull
operations.
Details about individual delta finding timing:
----------------------------------------------
The vast majority of benchmark cases are unchanged but the three below. The first
two do not see any impact on the final delta. The last one sees a change in
delta-size that is negligible compared to the full text size.

Mercurial ========= Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers. Basic install:: $ make # see install targets $ make install # do a system-wide install $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup $ hg # see help Running without installing:: $ make local # build for inplace usage $ ./hg --version # should show the latest version See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information. Notes for packagers =================== Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported configuration.
