phabricator: rework phabread to reduce memory usage and round-trips This patch reworked phabread a bit so it fetches the lightweight "Differential Revision" metadata for a stack first. Then read other data. This allows the code to: a) send 1 request to get all `hg:meta` data instead of N requests b) patches are read in desired order, no need to buffer the output "b)" reduces the memory usage from O(N^2) to O(N) since we no longer keep old patch contents in memory. The above `N` means the number of patches in the stack.

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
