Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Fri, 24 Aug 2018 18:21:55 -0700] rev 39264
scmutil: avoid quadratic membership testing (issue5969) tr.changes['revs'] is an xrange, which has an O(n) __contains__ implementation. The `rev not in newrevs` lookup a few lines below will therefore be O(n^2) if all incoming changesets are public. This issue isn't present on @ because 45e05d39d9ce introduced a custom type implementing an xrange primitive with O(1) contains and switched tr.changes['revs'] to be an instance of that type. We work around the problem on the stable branch by casting the xrange to a set. This is a bit hacky because it requires allocating memory to hold each integer in the range. But we are already holding the full set of pulled revision numbers in memory multiple times (such as in `tr.changes['phases']`). So this is a relatively minor problem. This issue has been present since the phases reporting code was introduced in the 4.7 cycle by eb9835014d20. This change should be reverted/ignored when stable is merged into default. On the mozilla-unified repository with 483492 changesets, `hg clone` time improves substantially: before: 1843.700s user; 29.810s sys after: 461.170s user; 29.360s sys
