dirstate-v2: Move fixed-size tree metadata into the docket file
Before this changeset, the dirstate-v2 data file contained not only nodes
and paths that may be reused when appending to an existing file,
but also some fixed-size metadata that applies to the entire tree
and was added at the end of the data file for every append.
This moves that metadata into the docket file, so that repeated "append"
operations without meaningful changes don’t actually need to grow any file.

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.
