match: making visitdir() deal with non-recursive entries
Primarily as an optimization to avoid recursing into directories that will
never have a match inside, this classifies each matcher pattern's root as
recursive or non-recursive (erring on the side of keeping it recursive,
which may lead to wasteful directory or manifest walks that yield no matches).
I measured the performance of "rootfilesin" in two repos:
- The Firefox repo with tree manifests, with
"hg files -r . -I rootfilesin:browser".
The browser directory contains about 3K files across 249 subdirectories.
- A specific Google-internal directory which contains 75K files across 19K
subdirectories, with "hg files -r . -I rootfilesin:REDACTED".
I tested with both cold and warm disk caches. Cold cache was produced by
running "sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". Warm cache was produced
by re-running the same command a few times.
These were the results:
Cold cache Warm cache
Before After Before After
firefox 0m5.1s 0m2.18s 0m0.22s 0m0.14s
google3 dir 2m3.9s 0m1.57s 0m8.12s 0m0.16s
Certain extensions, notably narrowhg, can depend on this for correctness
(not trying to recurse into directories for which it has no information).
Set up a repo

$ hg init a

Record help
$ hg record -h
hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
interactively select changes to commit
If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by 'hg status' will be
candidates for recording.
See 'hg help dates' for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
You will be prompted for whether to record changes to each modified file,
and for files with multiple changes, for each change to use. For each
query, the following responses are possible:
y - record this change
n - skip this change
e - edit this change manually
s - skip remaining changes to this file
f - record remaining changes to this file
d - done, skip remaining changes and files
a - record all changes to all remaining files
q - quit, recording no changes
? - display help
This command is not available when committing a merge.
(use 'hg help -e record' to show help for the record extension)
options ([+] can be repeated):
-A --addremove mark new/missing files as added/removed before
committing
--close-branch mark a branch head as closed
--amend amend the parent of the working directory
-s --secret use the secret phase for committing
-e --edit invoke editor on commit messages
-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
-m --message TEXT use text as commit message
-l --logfile FILE read commit message from file
-d --date DATE record the specified date as commit date
-u --user USER record the specified user as committer
-S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories
-w --ignore-all-space ignore white space when comparing lines
-b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
-B --ignore-blank-lines ignore changes whose lines are all blank
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
