wireprotov2: unify file revision collection and linknode derivation
The old mechanism for choosing which file revisions to send in the
haveparents=True case was buggy in multiple ways - the most severe
of which being that file revisions were excluded when they shouldn't
have been.
This commit unifies the logic for deriving the filenodes that will
be sent by the "filesdata" command. We now consistently read files
data from manifests. The "haveparents" argument now controls whether
we iterate ctx.files() or use the full manifest to derive relevant
files.
The logic here is still woefully lacking to fully support shallow
clones. It will require an API break to fully address. This commit
should at least make the server APIs emit proper data, which is
strictly better than before.

wireprotov2: send linknodes to emitfilerevisions()
Previously, linknodes were calculated within emitfilerevisions() by
using filectx.introrev(), which would always use the linkrev/linknode
as recorded by storage. This is wrong for cases where the receiver
doesn't have the changeset the linknode refers to.
This commit changes the logic for linknode emission so the mapping
of filenode to linknode is computed by the caller and passed into
emitfilerevisions().
As part of the change, linknodes for "filesdata" in the
haveparents=False case are now correct: the existing code performed a
manifest walk and it was trivial to plug in the correct linknode.
However, behavior for the haveparents=True case is still wrong
because it relies on filtering linkrevs against the outgoing set in
order to determine what to send. This will be fixed in a subsequent
commit.
The change test test-wireproto-exchangev2-shallow.t is a bit wonky.
The test repo has 6 revisions. The changed test is performing a shallow
clone with depth=1. So, only file data for revision 5 is present
locally. So, the new behavior of associating the linknode with
revision 5 for every file revision seems correct. Of course, when
backfilling old revisions, we'll want to update the linknode. But
this problem requires wire protocol support and we'll cross that
bridge later.

tests: add tests for server-side linknode adjustment with wireprotov2
The current implementation of linknode serving in wireprotov2 simply
serves up the linkrev/linknode as stored: it doesn't attempt to
adjust the linknode to what the receiver is aware of. This can result
in the client seeing a linknode referencing a changeset that is unknown
to it.
This commit adds test coverage of that scenario.
The tests in test-wireproto-command-filesdata.t demonstrate two failures.
First, the linknode refers to a changeset not in the available set.
Second, the server doesn't send a file revision that it should have
(because of linkrev filtering).
The test in test-wireproto-exchange.t demonstrates that the lack of
a file revision results in a corrupted repository on the client.

sparse-revlog: enabled by default
The feature provides large benefits. It now seems mature enough to be enabled
by default.
* It solves catastrophic issues regarding delta storage in revlog,
* It allows for shorter delta chain in all repositories, improving
performances.
Running benchmark of a wide range of operation did not reveal problematic
impact. Performance gains are observed where expected.
The format is supported by Mercurial version 4.7. So it seems safe to enable
it by default now.
Here is a reminder of key numbers regarding this delta strategy effect on
repository size and performance.
Effect on Size:
===============
For repositories with a lot of branches, sparse-revlog significantly improve
size, fixing limitation associated with the span of a delta chain. In
addition, sparse-revlog, deal well with limitations of the delta chain length.
For large repositories, this allows for a stiff reduction of the delta chain
without a problematic impact on the repository size. This delta chain length
improvement helps all repositories, not just the ones with many branches.
As a reminder, here are the default chain limits for each "format":
* no-sparse: none
* sparse: 1000

Effect on speed:
================
Performances are strongly impacted by the delta chain length. Longer chain
results in slower revision restoration. For this reason, the 1000 chain limit
introduced by sparse-revlog helps repository with previously large chains a
lot. In our corpus, this means `netbeans` and `mozilla-central` who suffered
from unreasonable manifest delta chain length.
Another way sparse revlog helps, is by producing better delta's. For
repositories with many branches, the pathological patterns that resulted in
many sub-optimal deltas are gone. Smaller delta help with operations where
deltas are directly relevant, like bundle.
However, the sparse-revlog logic introduces some extra processing and a more
throughout testing of possible delta candidates. Adding an extra cost in some
cases. This cost is usually counterbalanced by the other performance gain.
However, for smaller repositories not affected by delta chain length issues or
branching related issues, this might make things a bit slower. However, these
are also repository where revlog performance is dwarfed by other costs.
Below are the summary of some timing from the performance test suite running
at `http://perf.octobus.net/` for a handful of key commands and operation.
It is important to keep in mind that most of this command works on the tip
part of the repository. The non-sparse and sparse version produce different
delta chains and the tip revision can end up at an arbitrary point of these
chains. This will impact some performance number listed in this summary.
For the record: here is the delta chain length for the tip revision of
manifest log in the benchmarked repository:
| no-sparse | sparse |
mercurial | 94 | 904 |
pypy | 23 | 673 |
netbeans | 4158 | 258 |
mozilla | 63263 | 781 |
As you can see, the chain length for mercurial and pypy turn out to be
significantly longer. The netbeans and mozilla one get shorter because these
repositories benefit from the maximum chain length.
Timing for `hg commit`:
-----------------------
The time taken by `hg commit` does not varies significantly, no drawback for
using sparse here.
| no-sparse | sparse |
mercurial | 68.1ms | 66.7ms |
pypy | 95.0ms | 94.1ms |
netbeans | 614.0ms | 611.0ms |
mozilla | 1340.0ms | 1.320.0ms |
Check the final section for statistics on a wider array of write.
Timing for bundling 10 000 changesets
-------------------------------------
The repository that benefits from better delta see a good performance boost.
The other ones are not significantly affected.
| no-sparse | sparse |
mercurial | 3.1s | 3.0s |
pypy | 25.1s | 7.5s |
netbeans | 24.2s | 17.0s |
mozilla | 23.7s | 25.0s |
Timing for unbundling 1 000 changesets
--------------------------------------
Mercurial and mozilla are unaffected. The pypy repository benefit well from
the better delta.
However, the netbeans repository takes a visible hit. Digging that difference
reveals that it comes from the sparse-revlog bundle having to deal with a
snapshot that was re-encoded in the bundle. The slow path for adding new a revision
had to be triggered for it, slowing things down. The Sparse versions do not have
such snapshot to handle similar cases in the tested configuration.
| no-sparse | sparse |
mercurial | 519ms | 502ms |
pypy | 1.270ms | 886ms |
netbeans | 1.370ms | 2.250ms |
mozilla | 3.230ms | 3.210ms |
Netbeans benefits from the better deltas in other dimensions too. For
example, the produced bundle is significantly smaller:
* netbeans-no-sparse.hg: 2.3MB
* netbeans-sparse.hg: 1.9MB
Timing to restore the tip most manifest entry:
----------------------------------------------
Nothing surprising here. The timing for mercurial and pypy are within a small
range where they won't affect performance much. In our tested case, they are
slower as they use a longer chain.
Timing for netbeans and mozilla improves a lot. Removing a significant amount
of time.
| no-sparse | sparse |
mercurial | 1.09ms | 3.15ms |
pypy | 4.11ms | 10.70ms |
netbeans | 239.00ms | 112.00ms |
mozilla | 688.00ms | 198.00ms |
Reading 100 revision in descending order:
-----------------------------------------
We see the same kind of effect when reading the last 100 revisions. Large
boost for netbeans and mozilla, as they use much smaller delta chain.
Mercurial and pypy longer chain means slower reads, but nothing gets out of
control.
| no-sparse | sparse |
mercurial | 0.089s | 0.268s |
pypy | 0.259s | 0.698s |
netbeans | 125.000s | 20.600s |
mozilla | 23.000s | 11.400s |
Writing from full text: statistic for the last 30K revisions
------------------------------------------------------------
This benchmark adds revisions to revlog from their full text. This is similar
to the work done during a commit, but for a large amount of revisions so that
we get a more relevant view.
We see better overall performances with sparse-revlog. The very worst case is
usually slower with sparse-revlog, but does not gets out of control. For the
vast majorities of the other writes, sparse-revlog is significantly faster for
larger repositories. This is reflected in the accumulated rewrite time for
netbeans and mozilla.
The notable exception is the pypy repository where things get slower. The
extra processing is not balanced by shorter delta chain. However, this is to
be seen as a blocking issue. First, the overall time spend dealing with revlog
for the repository pypy size is small compared to the other costs, so we get
slower on operations that matter less than for other larger repository.
Second, we still get nice size benefit from using sparse-revlog, smaller repo
size brings other usability and speed benefit (eg: bundle size).
