patch: stop using cext.diffhelpers
The C implementation has a couple of memory bugs, and lacks error handling
which could lead to SEGV. I could fix them one by one (and I mostly finished
that), but the performance gain provided by cext.diffhelper is quite low.
Besides, diffhelpers.addlines() calls back Python, linereader.readline(),
from the innermost loop.
$ hg export -R mozilla-central 0:100 > patch
$ ls -lh patch
-rw-r--r-- 184M patch
$ hg init repo && hg -R repo import patch --time --bypass
(cext) time: real 34.970 secs (user 32.720+0.000 sys 2.230+0.000)
(pure) time: real 35.950 secs (user 33.600+0.000 sys 2.330+0.000)
So, let's simply use the pure Python implementation.
#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# An example hgweb CGI script, edit as necessary
# See also https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/PublishingRepositories
# Path to repo or hgweb config to serve (see 'hg help hgweb')
config = "/path/to/repo/or/config"
# Uncomment and adjust if Mercurial is not installed system-wide
# (consult "installed modules" path from 'hg debuginstall'):
#import sys; sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib")
# Uncomment to send python tracebacks to the browser if an error occurs:
#import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
from mercurial import demandimport; demandimport.enable()
from mercurial.hgweb import hgweb, wsgicgi
application = hgweb(config)
wsgicgi.launch(application)
