transaction: support cache file in backupentries
We do not want to abort if anything wrong happen while handling a cache file.
Cache file have way to be invalidated and if old/bad version stay no
misbehavior will happen. Proper value will eventually be computed and the wrong
will be righten.
This changeset use the transaction reporter (usually writing on stderr) to write
details about failed cache handling. This will only apply to write operation
using a transaction. The usual update during read only operation will stay a
debug message.
I was on the way to bring these message back to debug level when I realised it
could be a feature. People with write access to the repository are likely to
have the power to fix error related to cache (and it is valuable to fix them).
So let the things as is for now.

transaction: use the location value when doing backup

transaction: pass a vfs map to the transaction
The goal is to allow access to file outside ofthe store directory from the
transaction. The obvious target are the `bookmarks` file. But we can envision
usage for cache too.
We keep passing a main opener explicitly because a lot of code rely on this
default opener. The main opener (operating on store) is using an empty key ''.

transaction: change the on disk format for backupentries
We need to store new data to improve the current transaction logic:
- location: We want to generate and backup file outside of the 'store' (eg:
bookmarks, or various cache files). This requires knowing and preserving where
each file is located. The value of this new field is a string. It will be used
as a key for a vfs mapping.
- cache: We would like to handle cache file in the transaction code. This
Will help to have cache consistent with the repository state and avoid
performance issue on big repository like Mozilla. However, failure to handle
cache file should not result in a transaction failure. We add a new field that
carry this information. The value is boolean, A True value mean any error
while handling this file can be ignored.
Those two mechanisms are not implemented yet, but they are now persisted in the
on disk file. Support for new mechanisms is coming in later changeset.
We update the file format now and will introduce the new features in later
changeset. The format version is set to 0 until we actually support the new feature.
This will prevent misunderstanding between incomplete and final client.
Support for reading both version 1 and (future) version 2 could be achieved
(using default value when reading version 1) but has not been seen as necessary
for now.

It makes no sense to request reverse status (i.e. changes from the

status (changes from parent to the working copy). Instead of giving a
nonsensical answer to a nonsensical question, it seems a little saner
to return empty lists. It might be best if we could prevent the caller
accessing these lists, but it's doubtful it's worth the trouble.

transaction: allow registering a temporary transaction file
During the transaction, files may be created to store or expose data
involved in the transaction (eg: changelog index data are written in
a 'changelog.i.a' for hooks). But we do not have an official way to
record such file creation and make sure they are cleaned up. The lack
of clean-up is currently okay because there is a single file involved
and a single producer/consumer.
However, as we want to expose more data (bookmarks, phases, obsmarker)
we need something more solid. The 'backupentries' mechanism could
handle that. Temporary files can be encoded as a backup of nothing
'('', <temporarypath>)'. We "need" to attach it to the same mechanism
as we use to be able to use temporary transaction files outside of
.'store/' and 'backupentries' is expected to gain such feature.
This changeset makes it clear that we should rename 'backupentries' to
something more generic.

revlog: increase I/O bound to 4x the amount of data consumed
This doesn't affect normal clones since they'd be bound by the CPU bound below
anyway -- it does, however, improve generaldelta clones significantly.
This also results in better deltaing for generaldelta clones -- in generaldelta
clones, we calculate deltas with respect to the closest base if it has a higher
revision number than either parent. If the base is on a significantly different
branch, this can result in pointlessly massive deltas. This reduces the number
of bases and hence the number of bad deltas.
Empirically, for a highly branchy repository, this resulted in an improvement
of around 15% to manifest size.

largefiles: move "copyalltostore" invocation into "markcommitted"
Before this patch, while "hg convert", largefiles avoids copying
largefiles in the working directory into the store area by combination
of setting "repo._isconverting" in "mercurialsink{before|after}" and
checking it in "copytostoreabsolute".
This avoiding is needed while "hg convert", because converting doesn't
update largefiles in the working directory.
But this implementation is not efficient, because:
- invocation in "markcommitted" can easily ensure updating
largefiles in the working directory
"markcommitted" is invoked only when new revision is committed via
"commit" of "localrepository" (= with files in the working
directory). On the other hand, "commitctx" may be invoked directly
for in-memory committing.
- committing without updating the working directory (e.g. "import
--bypass") also needs this kind of avoiding
For efficiency of this kind of avoiding, this patch does:
- move "copyalltostore" invocation into "markcommitted"
- remove meaningless procedures below:
- hooking "mercurialsink{before|after}" to (un)set "repo._isconverting"
- checking "repo._isconverting" in "copytostoreabsolute"
This patch invokes "copyalltostore" also in "_commitcontext", because
"_commitcontext" expects that largefiles in the working directory are
copied into store area after "commitctx". In this case, the working
directory is used as a kind of temporary area to write largefiles out,
even though converted revisions are committed via "commitctx" (without
updating normal files).

This patch also removes setting/unsetting "repo._istransplanting" in

largefiles: update standins only at the 1st commit of "transplant --continue"
Before this patch, "hg transplant --continue" may record incorrect
standins, because largefiles extension always avoid updating standins
while transplanting, even though largefiles in the working directory
may be modified manually at the 1st commit of "hg transplant --continue".
But, on the other hand, updating standins should be avoided at
subsequent commits for efficiency reason.
To update standins only at the 1st commit of "hg transplant
--continue", this patch uses "automatedcommithook", which updates
standins by "lfutil.updatestandinsbymatch()" only at the 1st commit of
resuming.
Even after this patch, "repo._istransplanting = True" is still needed
to avoid some status report while updating largefiles in
"lfcommands.updatelfiles()".
This is reason why this patch omits not "repo._istransplanting = True"
in "overriderebase" but examination of "getattr(repo,
"_istransplanting", False)" in "updatestandinsbymatch".

largefiles: avoid redundant "updatelfiles" invocation in "overridetransplant"
At "hg transplant --merge REV", largefiles newly coming from the 2nd
parent (= REV) are marked as "a"(dded) by "patch.patch()", and have to
be marked as "n"(ormal) after commit.
But until changeset
3100d1cbce32, such largefiles were still marked as
"a" unexpectedly even after commit, because no additional entry is
added to filelog of such largefiles and they aren't listed in
"repo[newnode].files()" in this case: "newnode" is one of newly
committed changeset (= result of "repo.commit()").
"updatelfiles" invocation in "overridetransplant" shadows this problem
by forcibly synchronizing lfdirstate to dirstate.
Now, "updatelfiles" invocation in "overridetransplant" is redundant,
because changeset
3100d1cbce32 made "markcommitted" use "ctx.files()"
to get targets of "synclfdirstate" instead of "repo[newnode].files()".

addremove: add back forgotten files (BC)
After running "hg forget README && hg addremove", README will still be
reported as removed, while "hg forget README && hg add README" adds it
back so it gets reported as clean. It seems like they should behave
the same. Furthermore, it seems like no files should remain untracked
after 'hg addremove && hg commit' (or 'hg commit -A'). For these
reasons, change the behavior of addremove so it does add forgotten
files back.
The problem is with scmutil._interestingfiles(), which reports the
file as removed, so scmutil.addremove() does not add it. Fix by
teaching _interestingfiles() to report forgotten files separately from
removed files and make addremove() add forgotten files back. However,
do not treat forgotten files as sources for rename detection. Note
that since removed and forgotten files are treated the same before
this change, forgotten files were considered sources for rename
detection.
Also update the other caller, marktouched(), in the same way as
addremove().

add: add back forgotten files even when not matching exactly (BC)
I accidentally did 'hg forget .' and tried to undo the operation with
'hg add .'. I expected the files to be reported as either modified or
clean, but they were still reported as removed. It turns out that
forgotten files are only added back if they are listed explicitly, as
shown by the following two invocations. This makes it hard to recover
from the mistake of forgetting a lot of files.
$ hg forget README && hg add README && hg status -A README
C README
$ hg forget README && hg add . && hg status -A README
R README
The problem lies in cmdutil.add(). That method checks that the file
isn't already tracked before adding it, but it does so by checking the
dirstate, which does have an entry for forgotten files (state 'r'). We
should instead be checking whether the file exists in the
workingctx. The workingctx is also what we later call add() on, and
that method takes care of transforming the add() into a normallookup()
on the dirstate.
Since we're changing repo.dirstate into wctx, let's also change
repo.walk into wctx.walk for consistency (repo.walk calls wctx.walk,
so we're simply inlining the call).

revlog: add config variable for limiting delta-chain length
The current heuristic for deciding between storing delta and full texts
is based on ratio of (sizeofdeltas)/(sizeoffulltext).
In some cases (for example a manifest for ahuge repo) this approach
can result in extremely long delta chains (~30,000) which are very slow to
read. (In the case of a manifest ~500ms are added to every hg command because of that).
This commit introduces "revlog.maxchainlength" configuration variable that will
limit delta chain length.

When generaldelta is disabled the base revision in revlog index is not

Instead of incorrect chainbaseandlen in command.py we are now using two
single-responsibility functions in revlog.py:
- chainbase(rev)
- chainlen(rev)
Only chainlen(rev) was missing so it was written to mimic the way the

The addition is done in two different places but differs slightly. We factorise
this addition to ensure it is consistent in all places.

transaction: drop backupentries logic from startgroup and endgroup
The `startgroup` and `endgroup` methods are used in a very specific
context to wrap a very specific operation (revlog truncation). It does
not make sense to perform any other operations during such a "group"
(eg:file backup). There is currently no user of backupfile during a
"group" so we drop the group-specific code and restrict authorized
operations during "group".

transaction: document startgroup and endgroup
These enigmatic methods are only used in repair. We document them to clarify
there purpose and user.

transaction: mark backup-related attributes private
As the transaction is gaining more functions and attributes, it is important to clarify
what is part of the public API.
