workflow: add a default template for Merge Request Introduce a first basic template to try the feature.

run-tests: prevent race-condition when picking a channel Before this, multiple jobs could search the list at the same time and pick the same free channel. We now project this search/assignment with a simple lock.

run-tests: send the test result after freeing the channel Sending the message about the test being "done" signals to the main thread that a new test can be started. Before this changeset, we sent this signal before freeing the channel, there is room for a race condition where a new test would search for a channel before the old test freed the one it used. This is an example of the failure it would produce: https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/mercurial-devel/-/jobs/552404

run-tests: also send a message in the Keyboard interrupt case The next patch will do something equivalent, so lets do the change in an independant changeset first in case we need to bisect something in the future.

revlog: use appropriate format char for int ("i" instead of "I") From https://docs.python.org/3.8/c-api/arg.html#numbers : i (int) [int] Convert a Python integer to a plain C int. I (int) [unsigned int] Convert a Python integer to a C unsigned int, without overflow checking.

revlog: use %d to format int instead of %lu (issue6565) The issue says gcc warns that the data types don't match. I couldn't reproduce the warning locally for some reason, but this patch shouldn't break things. Maybe %lu was simply a copy-paste error from 6b1eae313b2f (https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10625).

rhg: correctly handle the case where diffs are encoded relative to nullrev returning a valid entry for nullrev fix chain that delta against nullrev.

test-revlog: test a repository that contains a diff against nullrev We are witnessing a crash in the rust code, so we lets make sure this case is tested.

worker: adapt _blockingreader to work around a python3.8.[0-1] bug (issue6444) Python 3.8.0 is the latest I can load on Ubuntu 18.04, and I regularly hit the TypeError because this function is missing. While it can be avoided by disabling worker usage via config option, that's a bit obscure. I'm limiting the function definition to the narrow range of affected pythons because there were other bugs in this area that were worked around, that I don't fully understand. See the bug report for discussions on why the narrow range, and related commits working around other bugs. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12627

filelog: show the passed argument on error The error now do more than stating what it need. It also state what it got.

manifest: improve error message in case for tree manifest In the case where tree manifest is not enabled but we still receive an sub directory information for the manifest. The error now inform which sub-directory was passed.

doc: use an absolute path in sys.path The idea and rationale is similar to https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12599 (landed as 1b6e381521c5). Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12622

check-py3-compat: use an absolute path in sys.path The idea and rationale is similar to https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12599 (landed as 1b6e381521c5). Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12621

branchmap: use a context manager when writing the branchmap This is cleaner and safer. The previous code date from long before we had context manager available.

rhg: align the dirstate v2 writing algorithm with python Use the same algorithm of file append as python does, where we do a manual seek instead of relying on O_APPEND. (see the reasons in the inline comment)
