ancestor: faster algorithm for difference of ancestor sets
One of the major reasons rebase is slow in large repositories is
the computation of the detach set: the set of ancestors of the
changesets to rebase not in the destination parent. This is currently
done via a revset that does two walks all the way to the root of
the DAG. Instead of doing that, to find ancestors of a set <revs>
not in another set <common> we walk up the tree in reverse revision
number order, maintaining sets of nodes visited from <revs>, <common>
or both.
For the common case where the sets are close both topologically and
in revision number (relative to repository size), this has been
found to speed up rebase by around 15-20%. When the nodes are farther
apart and the DAG is highly branching, it is harder to say which
would win.
Here's how long computing the detach set takes in a linear repository
with over 400000 changesets, rebasing near tip:
Rebasing across 4 changesets
Revset method: 2.2s
New algorithm: 0.00015s
Rebasing across 250 changesets
Revset method: 2.2s
New algorithm: 0.00069s
Rebasing across 10000 changesets
Revset method: 2.4s
New algorithm: 0.019s
bisect: add example for limiting bisection to specified directories
The bisect command does not have an option to limit itself only to
subdirectories, but it's possible to use revsets for the --skip option
for the same effect. Given the relative obscurity of revsets, it helps
to have this as another example for bisect.
