wireprotov2: stop sending phase updates for base revisions This feature is broken and doesn't work properly in all scenarios. e.g. if we have the following DAGs: client server D draft C draft C draft B draft B public A public A public The current code would only send the phase data for C. The client wouldn't see that B moved from draft to public. This feature will be restored in a future commit. For now, it is making refactoring of how revisions are specified in the wire protocol a bit difficult... Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4978

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
