tests: skip demandimport if disabled
demandimport and setuptools and decorator (from ironpython) and
pygments leads to lots of fail.
If demandimport is disabled we should skip testing it...
hghave: make bzr checks stricter
My bzr does not have bzrlib.revisionspec.RevisionSpec,
and thus tests were failing because convert refused to believe in bzr,
but hghave without this change thought it was available.
help: document wire protocol "handshake" protocol
There isn't a formal handshake protocol in the wire protocol. But
clients almost certainly need to perform particular actions before they
can communicate with a server optimally. So document what that is
so people understand what's going on at connection establishment time.
help: document wire protocol capabilities
All capabilities from the history of the project are now documented.
crecord: properly handle files with No newline at eof (
issue5268)
Yes, this bug was a single character with the wrong case...
annotate: pre-calculate the "needed" dictionary (
issue5360)
The "needed" dict is used as a reference counter to free items in the giant
"hist" dict. However, currently it is not very accurate and can lead to
dropping "hist" items unnecessarily, for example, with the following DAG,
-3-
/ \
0--1--2--4--
The current algorithm will visit and calculate rev 1 twice, undesired. And
it tries to be smart by clearing rev 1's parents: "pcache[1] = []" at the
time hist[1] being accessed (note: hist[1] needs to be used twice, by rev 2
and rev 3). It can result in incorrect results if p1 of rev 4 deletes chunks
belonging to rev 0.
However, simply removing "needed" is not okay, because it will consume 10x
memory:

This patch moves "needed" (and "pcache") calculation to a separate DFS to
address the issue. It improves perf and fixes
issue5360 by correctly reusing
hist, while maintaining low memory usage. Some additional attempt has been
made to further reduce memory usage, like changing "pcache[f] = []" to "del
pcache[f]". Therefore the result can be both faster and lower memory usage:

help: document wire protocol transport protocols
The HTTP and SSH transport protocols are documented. This
includes how commands and arguments are serialized as well as
response types.
help: internals topic for wire protocol
The Mercurial wire protocol is under-documented. This includes a lack
of source docstrings and comments as well as pages on the official
wiki.
This patch adds the beginnings of "internals" documentation on the
wire protocol.
The documentation should have nearly complete coverage on the
lower-level parts of the protocol, such as the different transport
mechanims, how commands and arguments are sent, capabilities, and,
of course, the commands themselves.
As part of writing this documentation, I discovered a number of
deficiencies in the protocol and bugs in the implementation. I've
started sending patches for some of the issues. I hope to send a lot
more.
This patch starts with the scaffolding for a new internals page.
