contributing: add new file with a pointer to the wiki
This also includes what I consider to be the minimum set of steps
someone should be able to perform even if they can't run the
testsuite. Hopefully this will help new contributors know to at least
run the two checkers that find most things that (in my experience)
require manual cleanup.
/*
mpatch.c - efficient binary patching for Mercurial
This implements a patch algorithm that's O(m + nlog n) where m is the
size of the output and n is the number of patches.
Given a list of binary patches, it unpacks each into a hunk list,
then combines the hunk lists with a treewise recursion to form a
single hunk list. This hunk list is then applied to the original
text.
The text (or binary) fragments are copied directly from their source
Python objects into a preallocated output string to avoid the
allocation of intermediate Python objects. Working memory is about 2x
the total number of hunks.
