annotate: increase refcount of each revisions correctly (
issue3841)
Before this patch, refcount (managed in "needed") of parents of each
revisions in "visit" is increased, only when parent is not annotated
yet (examined by "p not in hist").
But this causes less refcount of the revision like "A" in the tree
below ("A" is assumed as the second parent of "C"):
A --- B --- C
\ /
\-----/
Steps of annotation for "C" in this case are shown below:
1. for "C"
1.1 increase refcount of "B"
1.2 increase refcount of "A" (=> 1)
1.3 defer annotation for "C"
2. for "A"
2.1 annotate for "A" (=> put result into "hist[A]")
2.2 clear "pcache[A]" ("pcache[A] = []")
3. for "B"
3.1 not increase refcount of "A", because "A not in hist" is False
3.2 annotate for "B"
3.3 decrease refcount of "A" (=> 0)
3.4 delete "hist[A]", even though "A" is still needed by "C"
3.5 clear "pcache[B]"
4. for "C", again
4.1 not increase refcount of "B", because "B not in hist" is False
4.2 increase refcount of "A" (=> 1)
4.3 defer annotation for "C"
5. for "A", again
5.1 annotate for "A" (=> put result into "hist[A]", again)
5.2 clear "pcache[A]"
6. for "C", once again
6.1 not increase refcount of "B", because "B not in hist" is False
6.2 not increase refcount of "A", because "A not in hist" is False
6.3 annotate for "C"
6.4 decrease refcount of "A", and delete "hist[A]"
6.5 decrease refcount of "B", and delete "hist[B]"
6.6 clear "pcache[C]"
At step (5.1), annotation for "A" mis-recognizes that all lines are
created at "A", because "pcache[A]" already cleared at step (2.2)
prevents from scanning ancestors of "A".
So, annotation for "C" or its descendants loses information about "A"
or its ancestors.
The root cause of this problem is that refcount of "A" is decreased at
step (3.3), even though it isn't increased at step (3.1).
To increase refcount correctly, this patch increases refcount of each
parents of each revisions:
- regardless of "p not in hist" or not, and
- only once for each revisions in "visit" (by "not pcached")
In fact, this problem should occur only on legacy repositories in
which a filelog includes the merging between the revision and its
ancestor (as the second parent), because:
- tree is scanned in depth-first
without such merging, revisions in "visit" refer different
revisions as parent each other
- recent Mercurial doesn't allow such merging
changelog and manifest can include such merging someway, but
filelogs can't, because "localrepository._filecommit()" converts
such merging request to linear history.
This patch tests merging cases below: these cases are from filelog of
"mercurial/commands.py" in the repository of Mercurial itself.
- both parents are same

annotate: reuse already calculated annotation
Before this patch, annotation is re-calculated even if it is already
calculated. This may cause unexpected annotation, because already
cleared "pcache" ("pcache[f] = []") prevents from scanning ancestors.
This patch reuses already calculated annotation if it is available.
In fact, "reusable" situation should be seen only on legacy
repositories in which a filelog include the merging between the
revision and its ancestor, because:
- tree is scanned in depth-first
without such merging, annotation result should be released soon
- recent Mercurial doesn't allow such merging
changelog and manifest can include such merging someway, but
filelogs can't, because "localrepository._filecommit()" converts
such merging request to linear history.
log: fix behavior with empty repositories (
issue3497)
Make output in this special case consistent with general case one.
parsers: a C implementation of the new ancestors algorithm
The performance of both the old and new Python ancestor algorithms
depends on the number of revs they need to traverse. Although the
new algorithm performs far better than the old when revs are
numerically and topologically close, both algorithms become slow
under other circumstances, taking up to 1.8 seconds to give answers
in a Linux kernel repo.
This C implementation of the new algorithm is a fairly straightforward
transliteration. The only corner case of interest is that it raises
an OverflowError if the number of GCA candidates found during the
first pass is greater than 24, to avoid the dual perils of fixnum
overflow and trying to allocate too much memory. (If this exception
is raised, the Python implementation is used instead.)
Performance numbers are good: in a Linux kernel repo, time for "hg
debugancestors" on two distant revs (
24bf01de7537 and
c2a8808f5943)
is as follows:
Old Python: 0.36 sec
New Python: 0.42 sec
New C: 0.02 sec
For a case where the new algorithm should perform well:
Old Python: 1.84 sec
New Python: 0.07 sec
New C: measures as zero when using --time
(This commit includes a paranoid cross-check to ensure that the
Python and C implementations give identical answers. The above
performance numbers were measured with that check disabled.)
revlog: choose a consistent ancestor when there's a tie
Previously, we chose a rev based on numeric ordering, which could
cause "the same merge" in topologically identical but numerically
different repos to choose different merge bases.
We now choose the lexically least node; this is stable across
different revlog orderings.
ancestor: a new algorithm that is faster for nodes near tip
Instead of walking all the way to the root of the DAG, we generate
a set of candidate GCA revs, then figure out which ones will win
the race to the root (usually without needing to traverse all the
way to the root).
In the common case of nodes that are close to each other in both
revision number and topology, this is usually a big win: it makes
"hg --time debugancestors" up to 9 times faster than the more general
ancestor function when measured on heads of the linux-2.6 hg repo.
Victory is not assured, however. The older function can still win
by a large margin if one node is much closer to the root than the
other, or by a much smaller amount if one is an ancestor of the
other.
For now, we've also got a small paranoid harness function that calls
both ancestor functions on every input and ensures that they give
equivalent answers.
Even without the checker function, the old ancestor function needs
to stay alive for the time being, as its generality is used by
context.filectx.merge.
update: allow dirty update to foreground (successors)
Update to "foreground" are no longer seen as cross branch update. "Foreground"
are descendants or successors (or successors of descendants (or descendant of
successors (etc))). This allows to update with uncommited changes that get
automatically merged.
This changeset is a small step forward. We want to allow dirty update to
"background" (precursors) and takes obsolescence in account when finding the
default update destination. But those requires deeper changes and will comes in
later changesets.
obsolete: extract foreground computation from bookmark.validdest
This foreground logic will be reused by update logic.
