sparse: reliably avoid writing to store without a lock With the code as written before this patch we can still end up writing to store in `debugsparse`. Obviously we'll write to it if by accident a store requirement is modified, but more importantly we write to it if another concurrent transaction modifies the requirements file on disk. We can't rule this out since we're not holding the store lock, so it's better to explicitly pass a permission to write instead of inferring it based on file contents.

debugsparse: stop taking the store lock debugsparse is a workspace-only opperation, or it better be workspace-only. Let's make it to stop taking the store lock.

scmutils: read the requires file before writing to avoid unnecessary rewrite This lets us get away without the repo lock in situations where we need to write requirements, but we know we're not changing the store requirements.

localrepo: remove _readrequires function in favor of scmutil.readrequires

scmutil: add `readrequires` next to `writerequires` The code is copied from localrepo.py.

typing: correct a type hint in `mercurial.manifest` Obvious typo that was flagged by PyCharm.

typing: add hints to `mercurial.util.mktempcopy()` Might as well, now that the previous commit indicated what types are required.

typing: fix the hint for the `mode` argument of `platform.copymode()` The posix module is doing a bitwise AND with this and an integer, so it can't be bytes. The only caller that provides the argument is `util.mktempcopy()`, and pytype infers the type as Any, which explains why this wasn't caught.

largefiles: fix check that ensures that --all-largefiles is only used locally Previously, the command added in the test failed with “abort: --all-largefiles is incompatible with non-local destination existing_destination”. The reason for the buggy behavior was the use of hg.islocal(), which does “return true if repo (or path pointing to repo) is local” and, for local paths, assumes that the path is actually pointing to an existing repository and returns whether the path is not a regular file (in which case it assumes that it is a bundlerepo, which are considered non-local).

exchange: trivial simplification Both sides of the condition do essentially the same thing, except one with fastpath=True. No functional changes.

import: fix erroneous comparison of str with bytes

histedit: create state and acquire locks earlier This makes chistedit (histedit with curses UI) not write any files inside repo without wlock. It also makes sense to wrap the entire process of preparing commands inside the curses UI inside locks because we don't want anything else to touch wdir or repo during this time.

py3: use str literal instead of bytes literal

typing: fix type annotation

cffi: pass bytes instead of str to ffi.new("char[]", …) The type annotations seem to imply that the passed values are always already bytes, but they aren’t necessarily. Before Python 3.11, the documentation stated that bytes can be used to annotate arguments whose type is actually any of bytes, bytearray, or memoryview.

cffi: call bytes() instead of str() on CFFI buffer instances

cffi: pass C type and attribute names as str instead of bytes

py3: fix type of some elements of __all__ lists

manifest: deprecated readdelta and readfast These method should not have any user left.

manifest: use read_delta_new_entries in verify too This seems like the proper semantic for the usage.

manifest: use read_delta_new_entries in changegroup validate This new method have a well defined semantic and can be adjusted by narrow as it needs. This should prevent some unwanted filelog access when running validate on a server using narrow profile to restrict access.

manifest: add a read_delta_new_entries method This new method have a well defined semantic and can be adjusted by narrow as it needs.

manifest: use `read_delta_parents` when adjusting linkrev Let's use the more accurate API.

manifest: use the `read_delta_parents` method Let's use the more accurate API.

manifest: use `read_delta_parents` when adjusting linkrev in remotefile Let's use the more accurate API.

manifest: introduce a `read_delta_parents` method This new method have a clearer semantic and can be used by code that need this semantic. This should avoid bugs, allow for more targeted optimisation, and provide a clearer API. Users will be updated in subsequent changesets. This is also part of the wider effort to clarify and fix this API. one more method coming.

manifest: use `read_any_fast_delta` for tag rev cache computation This will have the benefit of using the fast path more often, and being (a bit) less buggy. See inline comment for details.

manifest: use `read_any_fast_delta` during shallow prefetch's We now have a better function with a clear semantic. This simplify the usage in the remotefilelog code.

manifest: use `read_any_fast_delta` during remotefilelog's repack We now have a better function with a clear semantic. This simplify the usage in the remotefilelog code.

manifest: use read_any_fast_delta in changectx The new API is clearer but also more expressive. It allow to detect case where we did return a full read and populated the associated cache. Saving time!
