sparse-revlog: new requirement enabled with format.sparse-revlog The meaning of the new 'sparse-revlog' requirement is that the revlogs are allowed to contain wider delta chains with larger holes between the interesting chunks. These sparse delta chains should be read in several chunks to avoid a potential explosion of memory usage. Former version won't know how to read a delta chain in several chunks. They would keep reading them in a single read, and therefore would be subject to the potential memory explosion. Hence this new requirement: only versions having support of sparse-revlog reading should be allowed to read such a revlog. Implementation of this new algorithm and tools to enable or disable the requirement will follow in the next changesets.

revlog: extract `deltainfo.distance` for future conditional redefinition This commit exist to make the next one clearer.

shelve: improve help text for --patch and --stat It's not currently obvious why "hg shelve -p" fails, since -p doesn't take an argument. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3949

ssh: avoid reading beyond the end of stream when using compression Compressed streams can be used as part of getbundle. The normal read() operation of bufferedinputpipe will try to fulfill the request exactly and can deadlock if the server sends less as it is done. At the same time, the bundle2 logic will stop reading when it believes it has gotten all parts of the bundle, which can leave behind end of stream markers as used by bzip2 and zstd. To solve this, introduce a new optional unbufferedread interface and provided it in bufferedinputpipe and doublepipe. If there is buffered data left, it will be returned, otherwise it will issue a single read request and return whatever it obtains. Reorganize the decompression handlers to try harder to read until the end of stream, especially if the requested read can already be fulfilled. Check for end of stream is messy with Python 2, none of the standard compression modules properly exposes it. At least with zstd and bzip2, decompressing will remember EOS and fail for empty input after the EOS has been seen. For zlib, the only way to detect it with Python 2 is to duplicate the decompressobj and force some additional data into it. The common handler can be further optimized, but works as PoC.

revset: add larger test for heads(ancestors(…)) It is important to not regress on this benchmark so we move it into the "base" file. And we add another benchmark with more than two revisions.
