transaction: change list of journal entries into a dictionary
The transaction object used to keep a mapping table of path names to
journal entries and a list of journal entries consisting of path and
file offset to truncate on rollback. The offsets are used in three
cases. repair.strip and rollback process all of them in one go, but they
care about the order. For them, it is perfectly reasonable to read the
journal back from disk as both operations already involve at least one
system call per journal entry. The other consumer is the revlog logic
for moving from inline to external data storage. It doesn't care about
the order of the journal and just needs to original offset stored.
Further optimisations are possible here to move the in-memory journal to
a set(), but without memoisation of the original revlog size this could
turn it into O(n^2) behavior in worst case when many revlogs need to
migrated.

Some Mercurial commands can produce a lot of output, and Mercurial will attempt to use a pager to make those commands more pleasant. To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable:: [pager] pager = less -FRX If no pager is set in the user or repository configuration, Mercurial uses the environment variable $PAGER. If $PAGER is not set, pager.pager from the default or system configuration is used. If none of these are set, a default pager will be used, typically `less` on Unix and `more` on Windows. .. container:: windows On Windows, `more` is not color aware, so using it effectively disables color. MSYS and Cygwin shells provide `less` as a pager, which can be configured to support ANSI color codes. See :hg:`help config.color.pagermode` to configure the color mode when invoking a pager. You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the pager.ignore list:: [pager] ignore = version, help, update To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have to specify them in your user configuration file. To control whether the pager is used at all for an individual command, you can use --pager=<value>: - use as needed: `auto`. - require the pager: `yes` or `on`. - suppress the pager: `no` or `off` (any unrecognized value will also work). To globally turn off all attempts to use a pager, set:: [ui] paginate = never which will prevent the pager from running.
