changelog: lazily parse description Before, the description field was converted to a localstr at parse time. With this patch, we store the raw description and convert to a localstr when it is first accessed. We see a revset speedup for revsets that don't access the description: author(mpm) 0.896565 0.914234 0.869085 date(2015) 0.878797 0.891980 0.862525 extra(rebase_source) 0.865446 0.912514 0.871500 author(mpm) or author(greg) 1.801832 1.860402 1.791589 date(2015) or branch(default) 0.968276 0.994673 0.974027 author(mpm) or desc(bug) or date(2015) or extra(rebase_source) 3.656193 3.721032 3.643593 As you can see, most of these revsets are already faster than from before this refactoring: we have already offset the performance loss from the introduction of the new class representing parsed changelog entries!

context: use changelogrevision Upcoming patches will make the changelogrevision object perform lazy parsing. Let's switch to it. Because we're switching from a tuple to an object, everthing that accesses the internal cached attribute needs to be updated to access via attributes. A nice side-effect is this makes the code easier to read! Surprisingly, this appears to make revsets accessing this data slightly faster (values are before series, p1, this patch): author(mpm) 0.896565 0.929984 0.914234 desc(bug) 0.887169 0.935642 0.921073 date(2015) 0.878797 0.908094 0.891980 extra(rebase_source) 0.865446 0.922624 0.912514 author(mpm) or author(greg) 1.801832 1.902112 1.860402 author(mpm) or desc(bug) 1.812438 1.860977 1.844850 date(2015) or branch(default) 0.968276 1.005824 0.994673 author(mpm) or desc(bug) or date(2015) or extra(rebase_source) 3.656193 3.743381 3.721032

changelog: add class to represent parsed changelog revisions Currently, changelog entries are parsed into their respective components at read time. Many operations are only interested in a subset of fields of a changelog entry. The parsing and storing of all the fields adds avoidable overhead. This patch introduces the "changelogrevision" class. It takes changelog raw text and exposes the parsed results as attributes. The code for parsing changelog entries has been moved into its construction function. changelog.read() has been modified to use the new class internally while maintaining its existing API. Future patches will make revision parsing lazy. We implement the construction function of the new class with __new__ instead of __init__ so we can use a named tuple to represent the empty revision. This saves overhead and complexity of coercing later versions of this class to represent an empty instance. While we are here, we add a method on changelog to obtain an instance of the new type. The overhead of constructing the new class regresses performance of revsets accessing this data: author(mpm) 0.896565 0.929984 desc(bug) 0.887169 0.935642 105% date(2015) 0.878797 0.908094 extra(rebase_source) 0.865446 0.922624 106% author(mpm) or author(greg) 1.801832 1.902112 105% author(mpm) or desc(bug) 1.812438 1.860977 date(2015) or branch(default) 0.968276 1.005824 author(mpm) or desc(bug) or date(2015) or extra(rebase_source) 3.656193 3.743381 Once lazy parsing is implemented, these revsets will all be faster than before. There is no performance change on revsets that do not access this data. There /could/ be a performance regression on operations that perform several changelog reads. However, I can't think of anything outside of revsets and `hg log` (basically the same as a revset) that would be impacted.

httppeer: compute header names only once This also helps make the code a little more readable.

httppeer: indent existing argument handling with if True I'm about to add another case, so it makes sense to split this out to make the semantic changes in the next change more obvious.

httppeer: move size computation later in _callstream A future change will alter some of the arg-sending logic in a way that matters for request body size. Centralizing the logic now will make later patches easier to review.

httppeer: do less splitting on httpheader value We only care about the first value split off, so only split off the first value.

chgserver: remove outdated comment about setvbuf() I've replaced setvbuf() by fdopen() before merging chg into the core, so this comment is wrong. https://bitbucket.org/yuja/chg/commits/5c24e72bc447
