tests: remove test targeting Python 2.6 We just removed support for Python 2.7. This test is dead since it only ran on <2.7.

setup: drop support for Python 2.6 (BC) Per discussion on the mailing list and elsewhere, we've decided that Python 2.6 is too old to continue supporting. We keep accumulating hacks/fixes/workarounds for 2.6 and this is taking time away from more important work. So with this patch, we officially drop support for Python 2.6 and require Python 2.7 to run Mercurial.

perf: move revlog construction and length calculation out of benchmark We don't need to measure the time it takes to open the revlog or calculate its length. This is more consistent with what other perf* functions do. While I was here, I also renamed the revlog variable from "r" to "rl" - again in the name of consistency.

perf: clear revlog caches on every iteration cmdutil.openrevlog() may return a cached revlog instance. This /may/ be a recent "regression" due to refactoring of the manifest API. I'm not sure. Either way, this perf command was broken for at least manifests because subsequent invocations of the perf function would get cache hits from previous invocations, invalidating results. In the extreme case, testing the last revision in the revlog resulted in near-instantanous execution of subsequent runs (since the fulltext is cached). A time of ~1us would be reported in this case.

perf: don't convert rev to node before calling revlog.revision()

revlog: rename _chunkraw to _getsegmentforrevs() This completes our rename of internal revlog methods to distinguish between low-level raw revlog data "segments" and higher-level, per-revision "chunks." perf.py has been updated to consult both names so it will work against older Mercurial versions.

perf: store reference to revlog._chunkraw in a local variable To prepare for renaming revlog._chunkraw, we stuff a reference to this metho in a local variable. This does 2 things. First, it moves the attribute lookup outside of a loop, which more accurately measures the time of the code being invoked. Second, it allows us to alias to different methods depending on their presence (perf.py needs to support running against old Mercurial versions). Removing an attribute lookup from a tigh loop appears to shift the numbers slightly with mozilla-central: $ hg perfrevlogchunks -c ! read ! wall 0.354789 comb 0.340000 user 0.330000 sys 0.010000 (best of 28) ! wall 0.335932 comb 0.330000 user 0.290000 sys 0.040000 (best of 30) ! read w/ reused fd ! wall 0.342326 comb 0.340000 user 0.320000 sys 0.020000 (best of 29) ! wall 0.332857 comb 0.340000 user 0.290000 sys 0.050000 (best of 30) ! read batch ! wall 0.023623 comb 0.020000 user 0.000000 sys 0.020000 (best of 124) ! wall 0.023666 comb 0.020000 user 0.000000 sys 0.020000 (best of 125) ! read batch w/ reused fd ! wall 0.023828 comb 0.020000 user 0.000000 sys 0.020000 (best of 124) ! wall 0.023556 comb 0.020000 user 0.000000 sys 0.020000 (best of 126)

revlog: rename internal functions containing "chunk" to use "segment" Currently, "chunk" is overloaded in revlog terminology to mean multiple things. One of them refers to a segment of raw data from the revlog. This commit renames various methods only used within revlog.py to have "segment" in their name instead of "chunk." While I was here, I also made the names more descriptive. e.g. "_loadchunk()" becomes "_readsegment()" because it actually does I/O.
