obsolete: introduce a new binary encoding for obsmarkers (version 1)
This new encoding explicitly stores the date and parents allowing a
significantly faster marker decoding. See inline documentation for details.
This format is not yet used to store format on disk. But it will be used in
bundle2 exchange if both side support it. Support for on-disk format is coming
in other changesets.
To run the tests, do:
cd tests/
python run-tests.py
