context: generate filtered manifest efficiently for exact matchers When the matcher is exact, there's no reason to iterate over the entire manifest. It's much more efficient to iterate over the list of files instead. For a repository with approximately 300,000 files, this speeds up hg log -l10 --patch --follow for a frequently modified file from 16.5 seconds to 10.5 seconds.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
