merge: cache unknown dir checks (issue5716)
As mentioned in D1222, the recent pathconflicts change regresses update
performance in large repositories when many files are being updated.
To mitigate this, we introduce two caches of directories that have
already found to be either:
- unknown directories, but which are not aliased by files and
so don't need to be checked if they are files again; and
- missing directores, which cannot cause path conflicts, and
cannot contain a file that causes a path conflict.
When checking the paths of a file, testing against this caches means we can
skip tests that involve touching the filesystem.

Mercurial's internal web server, hgweb, can serve either a single repository, or a tree of repositories. In the second case, repository paths and global options can be defined using a dedicated configuration file common to :hg:`serve`, ``hgweb.wsgi``, ``hgweb.cgi`` and ``hgweb.fcgi``. This file uses the same syntax as other Mercurial configuration files but recognizes only the following sections: - web - paths - collections The ``web`` options are thoroughly described in :hg:`help config`. The ``paths`` section maps URL paths to paths of repositories in the filesystem. hgweb will not expose the filesystem directly - only Mercurial repositories can be published and only according to the configuration. The left hand side is the path in the URL. Note that hgweb reserves subpaths like ``rev`` or ``file``, try using different names for nested repositories to avoid confusing effects. The right hand side is the path in the filesystem. If the specified path ends with ``*`` or ``**`` the filesystem will be searched recursively for repositories below that point. With ``*`` it will not recurse into the repositories it finds (except for ``.hg/patches``). With ``**`` it will also search inside repository working directories and possibly find subrepositories. In this example:: [paths] /projects/a = /srv/tmprepos/a /projects/b = c:/repos/b / = /srv/repos/* /user/bob = /home/bob/repos/** - The first two entries make two repositories in different directories appear under the same directory in the web interface - The third entry will publish every Mercurial repository found in ``/srv/repos/``, for instance the repository ``/srv/repos/quux/`` will appear as ``http://server/quux/`` - The fourth entry will publish both ``http://server/user/bob/quux/`` and ``http://server/user/bob/quux/testsubrepo/`` The ``collections`` section is deprecated and has been superseded by ``paths``. URLs and Common Arguments ========================= URLs under each repository have the form ``/{command}[/{arguments}]`` where ``{command}`` represents the name of a command or handler and ``{arguments}`` represents any number of additional URL parameters to that command. The web server has a default style associated with it. Styles map to a collection of named templates. Each template is used to render a specific piece of data, such as a changeset or diff. The style for the current request can be overwritten two ways. First, if ``{command}`` contains a hyphen (``-``), the text before the hyphen defines the style. For example, ``/atom-log`` will render the ``log`` command handler with the ``atom`` style. The second way to set the style is with the ``style`` query string argument. For example, ``/log?style=atom``. The hyphenated URL parameter is preferred. Not all templates are available for all styles. Attempting to use a style that doesn't have all templates defined may result in an error rendering the page. Many commands take a ``{revision}`` URL parameter. This defines the changeset to operate on. This is commonly specified as the short, 12 digit hexadecimal abbreviation for the full 40 character unique revision identifier. However, any value described by :hg:`help revisions` typically works. Commands and URLs ================= The following web commands and their URLs are available: .. webcommandsmarker
