setup: explain to distutils how we write rc versions When we use a rc version number (e.g. 4.8rc0), bdist_msi is using distutils.StrictVersion to parse it into a tuple of numbers. By default, StrictVersion.version_re only recognizes [ab] for alpha/beta, where mercurial may use '-rc' or 'rc'. This change makes StrictVersion parse correctly our version numbers, so that bdist_msi doesn't fail on rc versions.

changegroup: restore default node ordering (issue6001) Changeset db5501d9 changed the default node ordering from "storage" to "linearize". While the new API is more explicit and cleaner, the "linearize" order is problematic on certain repositories like netbeans where it makes bundling slower the more nodes we bundle. Pushing and pulling 100 changesets was ~20% slower and pushing and pulling 1000 changesets was ~600% slower. A very quick analysis of profile traces showed that the pull operation was taking more time creating the delta. Putting back the old default order seems to be the safe option. With more time during the next cycle, we can understand better the impact of sorting with the DAG order by default, the source of the regression and how to mitigate it. /!\ We are still waiting for the full performance impact but with this patch, bundling and pulling locally (not on the performance workstation) 1000 changesets on the netbeans repository is as fast as before the regression.

changegroup: introduce an explicit linear sorting We still need to linearize the revisions in some cases, introduce an explicit `linear` sorting before changing back the default order. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5195

py3: roll up threading.Thread constructor args into **kwargs The constructor doesn't have a `verbose` keyword argument in py3.

tests: glob over a single quote vs double quote difference on Windows

py3: port test-log-exthook.t to Python 3 For once an easy one. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5184

extensions: fix up many many debug logs that use %r This gets us a bunch closer on Python 3, but I'll still have to use a ton of sad globs. A previous version of this patch tried to preserve the %r formatting, but upon review Yuya noted that special characters in extension names is very unlikely, so we can just use %s and not sweat the quoting.

blackbox: add configitem for format of log timestamps Sometimes blackbox logs are used to report performance problems, but the timestamps are only at second granularity, so often the timings have to stated separately by the reporter. This is inconvenient and error-prone, so I would like to include %f in the date format. This patch makes that possible.

narrow: replace filtering in list comprehension by set operations I didn't think of this while reviewing the patch. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5188

storage: update sqlitestore to use the new `deltamode` parameter While updating the filelog class, I forget to update the sqlitestore, tests are now passing with this patch. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5185

narrow: rework logic to check whether we need to widen and narrow This patch reworks logic which calculates whether we need to extend or narrow our working copy or not. We filter the addincludes, removeincludes, addexcludes and removeexcludes passed from user to the actual added and removed includes and excludes. What that means is a user can pass an already included path as addincludes, a path which is not included as removeincludes etc. In such situations the old logic use to think we need to do some work, whereas we don't need to do that work. In old logic, even if we don't have anything new to include but it believes we need to call widen, this adds some good amount of work on large repository. A widen calls involves computing incomming csets, calling the narrow_widen() which in non-ellipses cases goes through all the set of csets which are available which can take ~2-3 mins on large repos. Those 2-3 minutes are spend on doing nothing which a client can prevent by checking is there really anything which needs to be included. The tests changes shows that we don't go to the server anymore in such cases which is nice. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5183

tests: show that adding an already included path still calls narrow_widen() This patch adds tests demonstrating that we still go to the server in non-ellipses widening when we have that path already on the client and there is nothing new to download. The next patch will try to make client side logic smart and not go to the server if we don't need to download anything. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5182

graft: introduce --base option for using custom base revision while merging The graft command usually performs an internal merge of the current parent revision with the graft revision, using p1 of the grafted revision as base for the merge. As a trivial extension of this, we introduce the --base option to allow for using another base revision. This can be used as a building block for grafting and collapsing multiple changesets at once, or for grafting the resulting change from a merge as a single simple change. (This is kind of similar to backout --parent ... only different: this graft base must be an ancestor, but is usually *not* a parent.) This is probably an advanced use case, and we do thus not show it in the non-verbose help.

changegroup: add a option to create bundle with full snapshot only This is easy to implement now and can be useful for benchmarking.

changegroup: allow to force delta to be against p1 This new developer option is useful to general more "generic" bundle. Without this option, a bundle generated from the repository use deltas similar to the one stored in the specific repository it was generated from. This makes performance testing a bit tricky. Using deltas similar to the final result means all delta stored in the bundle can be applied to the target repository without any further processing (except for the rare case of a full snapshot). The application of such bundles (almost) never exercises the (slower) path of searching for a new valid delta. This result in unrealistic and too favorable timing and profile. Instead, we introduce an option to make sure all revisions are stored as a delta against p1. It might not be the best generation option, but it guarantees that the content will be "generic", not favoring a specific target.
