zsh_completion: use $_hg_remote_opts after it is defined
Before this patch, zsh wouldn't complete --ssh, --remotecmd or --insecure for
hg clone.
While at it, replace --uncompressed by --stream.

exchange: support declaring pull depth
Upcoming commits will teach exchangev2 how to perform a shallow
clone. This commit teaches hg.clone(), exchange.pull(), and
exchange.pulloperation to recognize a request for a shallow clone
by having the caller specify a numeric depth of the maximum number of
ancestor changesets to fetch.
There are certainly other ways we could control shallow-ness. But this
one is simple to implement and is also how the narrow extension
controls things. So it seems to make sense to start here.

exchangev2: support for calling rawstorefiledata to retrieve raw files
This is somewhat hacky. For that I apologize.
At the 4.8 Sprint, we decided we wanted to land support in wireprotov2 for doing
a partial clone with changelog and manifestlog bootstrapped from a "stream clone"
like primitive.
This commit implements the client-side bits necessary to facilitate that.
If the new server-side command for obtaining raw files data is available, we
call it to get the raw files for the changelog and manifestlog. Then we
fall through to an incremental pull. But when fetching files data, instead
of using the list of a changesets and manifests that we fetched via the
"changesetdata" command, we do a linear scan of the repo and resolve the
changeset and manifest nodes along with the manifest linkrevs.

wireprotov2: implement command for retrieving raw store files
Implementing shallow clone of the changelog is hard. We want the 4.8
release to have a fast implementation of partial clone in wireprotov2. In
order to achieve fast, we can't use deltas for transferring changelog and
manifestlog data.
Per discussions at the 4.8 sprint, this commit implements a somwwhat hacky
and likely-to-be-changed-drastically-or-dropped command in wireprotov2 that
facilitates access to raw store files, namely the changelog and manifestlog.
Using this command, clients can perform a "stream clone" of sorts for just
the changelog and manifestlog. This will allow clients to fetch the changelog
and manifest revlogs, stream them to disk (which should be fast), then follow
up filesdata requests for files revision data for a particular changeset.

exchangev2: recognize narrow patterns when pulling
pulloperation instances were recently taught to record file
include and exclude patterns to facilitate narrow file transfer.
Teaching the exchangev2 code to transfer a subset of files is
as simple as constructing a narrow matcher from these patterns and
filtering all seen file paths through it.
Keep in mind that this change only influences file data: we're
still fetching all changeset and manifest data. So, there's still
a ton of "partial clone" to implement in exchangev2.
On a personal note, I derive gratification that this feature requires
very few lines of new code to implement.
To test this, we implemented a minimal extension which allows us to specify
--include/--exclude to clone. While the narrow extension provides these
arguments, I explicitly wanted to test this functionality without the
narrow extension enabled, as that extension monkeypatches various things
and I want to isolate the behavior of core Mercurial.

sqlitestore: file storage backend using SQLite
This commit provides an extension which uses SQLite to store file
data (as opposed to revlogs).
As the inline documentation describes, there are still several
aspects to the extension that are incomplete. But it's a start.
The extension does support basic clone, checkout, and commit
workflows, which makes it suitable for simple use cases.
One notable missing feature is support for "bundlerepos." This is
probably responsible for the most test failures when the extension
is activated as part of the test suite.
All revision data is stored in SQLite. Data is stored as zstd
compressed chunks (default if zstd is available), zlib compressed
chunks (default if zstd is not available), or raw chunks (if
configured or if a compressed delta is not smaller than the raw
delta). This makes things very similar to revlogs.
Unlike revlogs, the extension doesn't yet enforce a limit on delta
chain length. This is an obvious limitation and should be addressed.
This is somewhat mitigated by the use of zstd, which is much faster
than zlib to decompress.
There is a dedicated table for storing deltas. Deltas are stored
by the SHA-1 hash of their uncompressed content. The "fileindex" table
has columns that reference the delta for each revision and the base
delta that delta should be applied against. A recursive SQL query
is used to resolve the delta chain along with the delta data.
By storing deltas by hash, we are able to de-duplicate delta storage!
With revlogs, the same deltas in different revlogs would result in
duplicate storage of that delta. In this scheme, inserting the
duplicate delta is a no-op and delta chains simply reference the
existing delta.
When initially implementing this extension, I did not have
content-indexed deltas and deltas could be duplicated across files
(just like revlogs). When I implemented content-indexed deltas, the
size of the SQLite database for a full clone of mozilla-unified
dropped:
before: 2,554,261,504 bytes
after: 2,488,754,176 bytes
Surprisingly, this is still larger than the bytes size of revlog
files:
revlog files: 2,104,861,230 bytes
du -b: 2,254,381,614
I would have expected storage to be smaller since we're not limiting
delta chain length and since we're using zstd instead of zlib. I
suspect the SQLite indexes and per-column overhead account for the
bulk of the differences. (Keep in mind that revlog uses a 64-byte
packed struct for revision index data and deltas are stored without
padding. Aside from the 12 unused bytes in the 32 byte node field,
revlogs are pretty efficient.) Another source of overhead is file
name storage. With revlogs, file names are stored in the filesystem.
But with SQLite, we need to store file names in the database. This is
roughly equivalent to the size of the fncache file, which for the
mozilla-unified repository is ~34MB.
Since the SQLite database isn't append-only and since delta chains
can reference any delta, this opens some interesting possibilities.
For example, we could store deltas in reverse, such that fulltexts
are stored for newer revisions and deltas are applied to reconstruct
older revisions. This is likely a more optimal storage strategy for
version control, as new data tends to be more frequently accessed
than old data. We would obviously need wire protocol support for
transferring revision data from newest to oldest. And we would
probably need some kind of mechanism for "re-encoding" stores. But
it should be doable.
This extension is very much experimental quality. There are a handful
of features that don't work. It probably isn't suitable for day-to-day
use. But it could be used in limited cases (e.g. read-only checkouts
like in CI). And it is also a good proving ground for alternate
storage backends. As we continue to define interfaces for all things
storage, it will be useful to have a viable alternate storage backend
to see how things shake out in practice.
test-storage.py passes on Python 2 and introduces no new test failures on
Python 3. Having the storage-level unit tests has proved to be insanely
useful when developing this extension. Those tests caught numerous bugs
during development and I'm convinced this style of testing is the way
forward for ensuring alternate storage backends work as intended. Of
course, test coverage isn't close to what it needs to be. But it is
a start. And what coverage we have gives me confidence that basic store
functionality is implemented properly.
