chainsaw-update: exit early if one of the intermediate command fails That will prevent the user to be presented with a start that pretend to be consistent with the request, but is not.

chainsaw-update: lock the repository for the duration of the operation This should prevent and catch some misusage where something else try to touch the repository.

chainsaw-update: taking care of initial cloning Perhaps we should go just a bit lower level than this `instance()`, since the main added value in our use-case is full path resolution, that we need to do anyway for the rmtree cleanup.

chainsaw-update: use a graph with branching in graph This will be relevant for the next improvement of `chainsaw-update`.

chainsaw-update: log actual locks breaking Previously, the command would simply state that it was about to break locks, not if there was actually some to break. This version is race-free. It would be also possible to display the content of the lock before hand (not race-free but informative in almost all cases).

vfs: have tryunlink tell what it did It is useful in certain circumstances to know whether vfs.tryunlink() actually removed something or not, be it for logging purposes.

chainsaw: new extension for dangerous operations The first provided command is `chainsaw-update`, whose one and single job is to make sure that it will pull, update and purge the target repository, no matter what may be in the way (locks, notably), see docstring for rationale.

rust: disable the RustIndex without persistent nodemap See rational inline.

rust: stop claiming the C index is compatible with the rust code This is no longer the case since the introduction of the pure Rust Index, and was probably not the case since the MixedIndex itself. So we fix the dedicated attribute value.

rust-index: remove one collect when converting back Turns out this is slightly faster. Sending the results back to Python is still the most costly (like 75% of the time) of the whole method, but it's about as fast as it can be now. hg perf::phases on mozilla-try-2023-03-22 before: 0.267114 after: 0.247101

rust-index: improve phase computation speed While less memory efficient, using an array is *much* faster than using a HashMap, especially with the default hasher. It even makes the code simpler, so I'm not really sure what I was thinking in the first place, maybe it's more obvious now. This fix a significant performance regression when using the rust version of the code. (however, the C code still outperform rust on this operation) hg perf::phases on mozilla-try-2023-03-22 - 6.6.3: 0.451239 seconds - before: 0.982495 seconds - after: 0.265347 seconds - C code: 0.183241 second

phases: directly update the phase sets in advanceboundary This is similar to what we do in retractboundary. There is no need to invalidate the cache if we have everything at hand to update it.
