Mercurial: Changelog

convert: don't drop missing or corrupt tag entries Cleaning up the tags file could be a useful feature in some cases, so maybe there should be a switch for this. However, the default hg -> hg convert tries to maintain identical hashes (thus convert.hg.saverev is off by default, but is on by default for other source types). It looks like _rewritesubstate() has a `continue` in it, and therefore a similar problem. I ran into this conversion divergence when a coworker "merged" two repositories by copy/pasting all of the files from the source repo and massaging the code, and forgetting to revert the .hg* files. That silently emptied the .hgtags file after the conversion. (This isn't the manifest node bug Yuya has been helping with- this occurred well after the bzr -> hg conversion and wasn't a merge commit, which made it extra puzzling. That bug is still an issue.)

changegroup: invert conditional and dedent I don't like else-less blocks that are indented for no reason. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4217

changegroup: capture base node instead of rev in delta request I want the API in storage to be defined in terms of nodes, not revision numbers. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4216

changegroup: introduce requests to define delta generation Currently, we iterate through each revision we will be producing a delta for then call into 1 of 2 functions for generating that delta. Deltas are emitted as we iterate. A problem with this model is that revision generation is tightly coupled to the changegroup code. And the storage layer needs to expose APIs like deltaparent() so changegroup delta generation can produce a delta with that knowledge. Another problem is that in this model, deltas can only be produced sequentially after the previous delta was produced and emitted. Some storage backends might be capable of producing deltas in parallel (e.g. if the changegroup deltas are cached somewhere). This commit aims to solve these problems by turning delta generation into a 2 phase implementation where the first phase determines info about all the deltas that need to be generated and the 2nd phase resolves those deltas. We introduce a "revisiondeltarequest" object that holds data about a to-be-generated delta. We perform a full pass over all revisions whose delta is to be generated and generate a "revisiondeltarequest" for each. Then we iterate over the "revisiondeltarequest" instances and derive a "revisiondelta" for each. This patch was quite large. In order to avoid even more churn, aspects of the implementation are less than ideal. e.g. we're recording revision numbers instead of nodes in a few places and we don't yet have a formal API for resolving an iterable of revisiondeltarequest instances. Things will be improved in subsequent commits. Unfortunately, this commit reduces performance substantially.

First in the linknode callback to resolve the set of files changed. Second in the delta generation. Before, we likely had hit the last revision cache in the revlog when doing delta generation since we performed that immediately after performing the linknode callback. I'm not exactly sure where the other ~8s are being spent. It might be from overhead of constructing a few million revisiondeltarequest objects. I'm OK with the regression for now because it is in service of a larger cause (storage abstraction). I'll try to profile later and claw back the performance.

changegroup: refactor delta parent code We had recently abstracted the delta parent functions to facilitate extracting code from cgpacker. Now that we're in a better place, it is time to revisit the design. Changegroup version 1 requires that the previous node be used as the delta parent. Later versions allow any available node to be used as the base. In the case where an arbitrary parent can be used, the choice of a delta parent is best left in the hands of the storage backend. So it makes sense for the delta parent selection to be hidden away in the storage layer. This means deferring the choice of the delta parent selection function to as close to delta generation time as possible. This commit moves the delta selection logic to essentially just before delta generation. However, because changegroup version 1 limits what we can do, we have retained the ability to force a delta against the previous revision. As part of this, I realized that the ellipsis parent function was unused! That's because ellipsis mode always sends full revisions and not deltas.

changegroup: differentiate between fulltext and diff based deltas Previously, revisiondelta encoded a delta and an optional prefix containing a delta header. The underlying code could populate the delta with either a real delta or a fulltext revision. Following the theme of wanting to defer serialization of revision data to the changegroup format as long as possible, it seems prudent for the revision delta instance to capture what type of data is being represented. This could possibly allow us to encode revision data differently in the future. But for the short term, it makes the behavior of a revisiondelta more explicit.

changegroup: minor cleanups to deltagroup() Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4212

changegroup: emit revisiondelta instances from deltagroup() By abstracting the concept of a delta group away from its serialization (the changegroup format), we make it easier to establish alternate serialization formats. We also make it possible to move aspects of delta group generation into the storage layer. This will allow storage to make decisions about e.g. delta parent choices without the changegroup code needing storage APIs to determine delta parents. We're still a bit of a way from there. Future commits will work towards that world. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4211
