dirstate: optimize walk() by using match.visitdir() We already have the logic for restricting directory walks in match.visitdir() that we use for treemanifests. We should take advantage of it when walking the working copy as well. This speeds up "hg st -I rootfilesin:." on the Firefox repo from 0.587s to 0.305s on warm disk (and much more on cold disk). More time is spent reading the dirstate than walking the working copy after. I tried to find scenarios where calling match.visitdir() would be a noticeable overhead, but I couldn't find any. I encourage the reader to try for themselves, since this is performance-critical code.

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.
