extract: move 'nodeid' assignment where it is parsed The is one setter and no consumer, we can move it there directly.

extract: move 'date' assignment where it is parsed There is one setter and no consumer, we can move it there directly.

extract: assign user to 'data' earlier This is used in both case, we can assign it once.

extract: move 'branch' assignment where it is parsed There is one setter and no consumer, we can move it there directly.

extract: directly assign parent to data dictionary The temporary variables are not adding anything.

extract: assign message only once This return is shared between the two cases. We can move it earlier.

extract: simplify parents assignement We move to the more standard style of: value = default if special: value = other This is more consistent and compact.

patch: move 'extract' return to a dictionnary The final goal here is to be able to parse, return and process arbitrary data from patch. This mirror the recently added ability to add arbitrary data to patch headers. The first step is to return something more flexible, so we return a dict without changing any other logic.

patchbomb: add experimental config of a "pullurl" and export it This config allows to specify a public location where your changeset can be found. It then include a dedicated patch header show a command to be used to retrieve the change. See the test for example. This is flagged as experimental because this feature is not safe until we have more logic to test that: - changeset actually exists on destination - changeset is draft on destination. As all this is experimental, bike shedding can happily happens before we remove the experimental flag.

export: introduce a generic way to add patch header on export Extensions currently have no easy way to add data to exported patch. This is now fixed using a generic mechanism in the same fashion used by bundle2. Tests are coming in the next changeset with its first user.

incoming: request a bundle2 when possible (BC) Incoming was using bundle1 in all cases, as bundle1 is restricted to changegroup1 and does not support general delta, this can lead to significant CPU overhead if the server is using general delta storage. We now properly request and store a bundle2 to disk. If the server include any output or error in the bundle, they will be stored on disk and replayed when the bundle is read. As 'hg incoming' is going to read the bundle right away, we call that 'good' enough and go back to the bigger plan of having general delta on by default. This was tracked as 4864

bundlerepo: indent some code to prepare next patch We are about to add a new condition. Code is indented in a separated patch for readability.

bundle2: add a way to just forward the bundle2 stream to another user There is use case for directly forward and bundle2 stream from the peer to a file (eg: 'hg incoming --bundle'), However ssh peers have no way to know the 'getbundle' is over except for actually interpreting the bundle. So we need to have the unbundle do the interpreting and forward job. The function is marked as private to highlight that this is terrible and that we are sorry.

bundle2: split parameter retrieval and processing We want to introduce a simple way to forward the content of a bundle2 stream. For this purpose, we will need to both yield the parameters block and process it (to apply any behavior change it might indicate).

changegroup: extract the file management part in its own function The current writebundle function do two things: - taking a changegroup-packer instance and storing it into a valid bundle with proper header. - creating a temporary or requested file to store that bundle We would like to make it easier to forward bundle stream directly from a remote peer to a file, so we split the two logic to be able to skip the one about building a valid bundle (the remote is already sending one).
