obsstore: prefetch struct.calcsize This function is widely used and worth but be at module level. No specific performance boost is visible, but this is more consistent.

obsstore: disable garbage collection during initialization (issue4456) Python garbage collection is triggered by container creation. So code that creates a lot of tuples tends to trigger GC a lot. We disable the gc during obsolescence marker parsing and associated initialization. This provides an interesting speedup (25%). Load marker function on my 58758 markers repo: before: 0.468247 seconds after: 0.344362 seconds The benefit is a bit less visible overall. With python2.6 on my system I see: after: 0.60 before: 0.53 The difference is probably explained by the delaying of a costly GC. (but there is still a win). Marking involved tuples, lists and dicts as ignorable by the garbage collector should give us more benefit. But this is another adventure. Thanks goes to Siddharth Agarwal for the lead.

dirstate: use the 'nogc' decorator Now that we have a generic way to disable the gc, we use it. however, we have too use it in a baroque way. See inline comment for details.

util: add a 'nogc' decorator to disable the garbage collection Garbage collection behave pathologically when creating a lot of containers. As we do that more than once it become sensible to have a decorator for it. See inline documentation for details.

largefiles: don't use 'r' action for standin that doesn't exist When merging and the remote has turned a normal file into a largefile and the user chooses to keep the local largefile, we use the 'r' action for the remote largefile standin. This is wrong, since that file does not exist in the parent of the working copy. Use 'k', which does nothing but debug logging, instead.

rebase: handle revtodo as a special value when storing/restoring state Revtodo happens to share its value with nullrev, but this is an implementation details, so we move away from it. After this changeset one can successfully change the values for all the constants and the tests still pass, but doing so would require more refactoring if we want to avoid breaking backward compatibility on the state file.
