localrepo: add repository feature when repo can be stream cloned Right now, the wire protocol server assumes all repository objects can be stream cloned (unless the stream clone feature is disabled via config option). But not all storage backends or repository objects may support stream clone. This commit defines a repository feature denoting whether stream clone is supported. The feature is defined for revlog-based repositories, which should currently be "all repositories." Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4852

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
