obsolete: mark unreachable extinct changesets as hidden The repo.hiddenrevs set is updated with all extinct() changesets which aren't descendants of either: - the current working copy, - a bookmark, - a tag.

hidden: move hiddenrevs set on the repository This set is always accessed through the repo for now. Having this set carried by the changelog make it complicated to: - initialize it, computing hidden set may involve revset call - lazy compute it, (1) only the changelog can detect someone access it, (2) only the repo have enought knowledge to compute it. In later version I expect he changelog to apply filtering itself and the set to be carried by changelog again.

obsolete: do not exchange extinct changesets Extinct changesets are excluded from all exchange operations. This is a silent exclusion because the user should not need to be aware of them. There is no reason to strongly enforce this exclusion except implementation simplicity. User should be able to explicitly request an extinct changeset in the future.

repo: move visibleheads and visiblebranchmap logic in discovery They were previously inside the mercurial.phases module, but obsolete logic will need them to exclude `extinct` changesets from pull and push. The proper and planned way to implement such filtering is still to apply a changelog level filtering. But we are far to late in the cycle to implement and push such a critical piece of code (changelog filtering). With Matt Mackall approval I'm extending this quick and dirty mechanism for obsolete purpose. Changelog level filtering should come during the next release cycle.

localpeer: return only visible heads and branchmap Now that we have localpeer, we can apply filtering on heads and branchmap the same way it's done for wireprotocol peer.

util, posix: eliminate encodinglower and encodingupper 2ebe3d0ce91d claims this was needed "to avoid cyclic dependency", but there is no cyclic dependency. windows.py already imports encoding, posix.py can import it too, so we can simply use encoding.upper in windows.py and in posix.py. (this is a partial backout of 2ebe3d0ce91d)

hgweb: side-by-side comparison functionality Adds new web command to the core, ``comparison``, which enables colorful side-by-side change display, which for some might be much easier to work with than the standard line diff output. The idea how to implement comes from the SonicHq extension. The web interface gets a new link to call the comparison functionality. It lets users configure the amount of context lines around change blocks, or to show full files - check help (also in this changeset) for details and defaults. The setting in hgrc can be overridden by adding ``context=<value>`` to the request query string. The comparison creates addressable lines, so as to enable sharing links to specific lines, just as standard diff does. Incorporates updates to all web related styles. Known limitations: * the column diff is done against the first parent, just as the standard diff * this change allows examining diffs for single files only (as I am not sure if examining the whole changeset in this way would be helpful) * syntax highlighting of the output changes is not performed (enabling the highlight extension has no influence on it)

scmutil: 25% speedup in casecollisionauditor On a large repository, switching casecollisionauditor to lowercasing all file names at once rather than one at a time improves hg-add time by 25%.
