phabricator: try to fetch differential revisions in batch
Previously, we read Differential Revisions one by one by calling
`differential.query`.
Fetching them one by one is suboptimal. Unfortunately, there is no Conduit
API that allows us to get a stack of diffids using a single API call.
This patch tries to be smarter using a simple heuristic: when fetching D59
as a stack, previous IDs like D51, D52, D53, ..., D58 are likely belonging
to a same stack so just fetch them as well. Since `differential.query` only
returns cheap metadata without expensive diff content, it shouldn't be a big
problem for the server.
Using a test Phabricator instance, this patch reduces `phabread` reading a
10 patch stack from about 13 to 30 seconds to 8 seconds.
# Base Revsets to be used with revsetbenchmarks.py script
#
# The goal of this file is to gather a limited amount of revsets that allow a
# good coverage of the internal revsets mechanisms. Revsets included should not
# be selected for their individual implementation, but for what they reveal of
# the internal implementation of smartsets classes (and their interactions).
#
# Use and update this file when you change internal implementation of these
# smartsets classes. Please include a comment explaining what each of your
# addition is testing. Also check if your changes to the smartset class makes
# some of the tests inadequate and replace them with a new one testing the same
# behavior.
#
# If you want to benchmark revsets predicate itself, check 'all-revsets.txt'.
#
# The current content of this file is currently likely not reaching this goal
# entirely, feel free, to audit its content and comment on each revset to
# highlight what internal mechanisms they test.
