revlog: fix descendant deprecated method Fix the descendant deprecated method introduced earlier in this cycle. This was caught by Yuya, thank you.

ui: remove commands.status.terse=u from ui.tweakdefaults commands.status.terse=u can add significant overhead when operating on large repositories. Using the Firefox repository: HGRCPATH= hg --time status time: real 1.340 secs (user 0.960+0.000 sys 0.380+0.000) HGRCPATH= hg --time --config commands.status.terse=u status time: real 2.420 secs (user 2.070+0.000 sys 0.360+0.000) HGRCPATH= hg --time --config extensions.fsmonitor= status time: real 0.080 secs (user 0.050+0.010 sys 0.040+0.000) HGRCPATH= ~/src/hg/hg --time --config extensions.fsmonitor= --config commands.status.terse=u status time: real 2.470 secs (user 2.080+0.000 sys 0.390+0.000) The performance regression - especially when fsmonitor is being used - is too much to stomach for the 4.7 release. We've decided to remove commands.status.terse=u from ui.tweakdefaults until we can improve its performance, hopefully in the 4.8 cycle. This commit effectively backs out 6acf41bb8d40.

context: safegaurd against 'lx' being passed as file flag in manifest Subversion can have a file as executable link. When using hgsubversion, we will have both islink and isexec True. This will lead to _flags being set to `lx`. However, manifest expects flag to be one-byte so it will crash if 'lx' is passed. Also it's impossible to have an executable link. This patch will safegaurd us from having 'lx' being a possible value. This was authored by Ivan Lezhankin from Yandex. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3985

localrepo: unconditionally enable general delta with sparse revlogs This come as an extra security, better safe than sorry.

sparse-revlog: also use sparse-revlog config as a general delta trigger Sparse revlog rely on general delta, so we should make sure it is used.

fileset: suppress EACCES while reading arbitrary paths via filectx API On Windows, EACCES is raised in place of EISDIR. This patch simply adds EACCES to the list of errors to be ignored since I think it's okay for filesets to treat inaccessible working-copy files as not existing.

merge: do the trivial resolution after updating sparse checkout In merge, we do trivial resolution for files which were deleted on one side and changed on other. When sparse extension in involved that file might not be present in wdir and trivial resolution can lead to file not found error. This patch make sure we updates the sparse checkout before doing the trivial resolution. This fixes the test failure demonstrated in previous patch. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3984

sparse: add test showing `hg merge` is broken while using sparse extension This patch adds a test to demonstrate that `hg merge` is broken in some cases while using sparse extension. The case is when you have a file which is: * modified between current wdir parent and merge base * deleted between merge base and merge destination * excluded from sparse checkout Doing `hg merge` results in file not found error. Next patch will fix this. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3983

context: use hex nodeid in error about filtered node I went a little too far in my cleanup in 9231148ea599 (context: convert to hex for error message only for 20-byte changeid, 2018-04-06). I missed that the case where a binary nodeid refers to a filtered node. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3987

doc: fix underline length for config title (issue5949) This was an error in the initial commit. Thanks go to Marcel Svitalský for reporting the bug.

clone: process 'lookup' return as an arbitrary symbol In theory, checkout is expected to be a node here because it was returned by peer.lookup. In practice, multiple important extensions (like hg-git, hg-subversion) use peers not backed by a mercurial repository where lookup cannot return a node. Allowing arbitrary symbols is necessary to make these extensions working with 4.7. We should probably introduce a new API in Core to have these extensions to work without abusing the lookup API. In the meantime, a small change to restore compatibility in 4.7 seems in order.

tests: use inline Python instead of sed to add trailing whitespace The sed invocation was failing on OS X and FreeBSD. I'm far too lazy to diagnose that, so just use some inline Python to fix the build.

context: add missing b prefix This fixes mercurial/context.py:593: SyntaxError: cannot mix bytes and nonbytes literals (context.py, line 593) in Python 3.

doctest: convert matcher root to native path Otherwise it wouldn't be caught by a fast path of pathutil.canonpath(), and fall back to file identity checks.

test-fileset: make con.xml in output conditionally available

test-obsmarker-template: run mkcommit in subshell to isolate envvars I don't know if it is a feature or a bug, but it appears that environment variables passed to a shell function persist on /bin/sh.

test-obsmarker-template: add missing HGENCODING=latin-1 It just worked by accident on some Linux sh.

config: rename `revlog` section into `storage` The idea was suggested by Gregory Szorc on IRC. It is more generic and seems better. It is probably best to rename the section before it ever makes into an official (non-rc) release. The only config option currently in this section have been prefixed with `revlog` to clarify it applies to `revlog` related storage.

histedit: drop --no-backup option Dropping this option because now we have a better option than passing --no-backup flag every time, now user can set a config in hgrc: [ui] history-editing-backup = False This config aims to operate on every history editing command and it is still work in progress. As yuya suggessted it probably to late to add full support this config, so making this as an experimental config. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3965

aggressivemergedelta: document rename and move to `revlog` section The config does not follow our naming guideline and "Aggressive" is probably a word to keep away from users. The option does not truly fit in the `format` section. It can be turned on and off for existing repository without much consequence regarding compatibility. A new `revlog` option is created to control behavior related to revlog writing and reading. We can see multiple other config options that could be migrated there. * format.maxchainlen * experimental.mmapindexthreshold * experimental.sparse-read.density-threshold (in an updated form) * experimental.sparse-read.min-gap-size (in an updated form) In addition, we can foresee at least a couple of sparse-revlog related option coming too (to reduce delta chain length and increase snapshot reuse) These two extra options might fit there too. Unless we want to create a section dedicated to caches and performance. * format.chunkcachesize * format.manifestcachesize For now, we only migrate `optimize-delta-parent-choice` since it is getting out of experimental. It is too close to the release to move the other one. In addition, we still lack proper the prioritization of alias that would help renaming them without bad consequence for users. (Not fully happy about the `revlog` name but could not find better).

aggressivemergedeltas: rename variable internally The "aggressivemergedeltas" name is not great. First, it is quite long, second, we would rather have less "Aggressive" names within the project. We are about to rename the config option, so it seems the appropriate time to rename the internal variable.

config: document the purpose of the `format` config section The config section now have a top level documentation to clarify its intend and usage. In particular, user are now explain when the option are taken in account and how to convert repository. There are an handful of experimental options in this section that does not match its definition. They should be relocated to other section before getting out of experimental. (see next changeset for one example).

merge: mark file gets as not thread safe (issue5933) In default installs, this has the effect of disabling the thread-based worker on Windows when manifesting files in the working directory. My measurements have shown that with revlog-based repositories, Mercurial spends a lot of CPU time in revlog code resolving file data. This ends up incurring a lot of context switching across threads and slows down `hg update` operations when going from an empty working directory to the tip of the repo. On mozilla-unified (246,351 files) on an i7-6700K (4+4 CPUs): before: 487s wall after: 360s wall (equivalent to worker.enabled=false) cpus=2: 379s wall Even with only 2 threads, the thread pool is still slower. The introduction of the thread-based worker (02b36e860e0b) states that it resulted in a "~50%" speedup for `hg sparse --enable-profile` and `hg sparse --disable-profile`. This disagrees with my measurement above. I theorize a few reasons for this: 1) Removal of files from the working directory is I/O - not CPU - bound and should benefit from a thread pool (unless I/O is insanely fast and the GIL release is near instantaneous). So tests like `hg sparse --enable-profile` may exercise deletion throughput and aren't good benchmarks for worker tasks that are CPU heavy. 2) The patch was authored by someone at Facebook. The results were likely measured against a repository using remotefilelog. And I believe that revision retrieval during working directory updates with remotefilelog will often use a remote store, thus being I/O and not CPU bound. This probably resulted in an overstated performance gain. Since there appears to be a need to enable the thread-based worker with some stores, I've made the flagging of file gets as thread safe configurable. I've made it experimental because I don't want to formalize a boolean flag for this option and because this attribute is best captured against the store implementation. But we don't have a proper store API for this yet. I'd rather cross this bridge later. It is possible there are revlog-based repositories that do benefit from a thread-based worker. I didn't do very comprehensive testing. If there are, we may want to devise a more proper algorithm for whether to use the thread-based worker, including possibly config options to limit the number of threads to use. But until I see evidence that justifies complexity, simplicity wins. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3963

worker: ability to disable thread unsafe tasks The worker on Windows is implemented using a thread pool. If worker tasks are not thread safe, badness can occur. In addition, if tasks are executing CPU bound code and holding onto the GIL, there will be non-substantial overhead in Python context switching between active threads. This can result in significant slowdowns of tasks. This commit teaches the code for determining whether to use a worker to take thread safety into account. Effectively, thread unsafe tasks don't use the thread-based worker on Windows. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3962

debug: move extensions debug behind a dedicated flag Since b86664c81833, we process the `--debug` flag earlier. This is overall good and useful, but has at least one negative side effect. Previously the debug message we report when trying to import extensions were issued before we processed the `--debug` flag. Now they happen after. Before: $ ./hg id --debug 21f507b8de2f9c1606e9aeb5ec7d2a6dedb7a4a7 tip After: $ ./hg id --debug ☿ (revset-bench) could not import hgext.evolve (No module named evolve): trying hgext3rd.evolve could not import hgext.mercurial_keyring (No module named mercurial_keyring): trying hgext3rd.mercurial_keyring could not import hgext3rd.mercurial_keyring (No module named mercurial_keyring): trying mercurial_keyring could not import hgext.hggit (No module named hggit): trying hgext3rd.hggit could not import hgext3rd.hggit (No module named hggit): trying hggit 21f507b8de2f9c1606e9aeb5ec7d2a6dedb7a4a7 tip (This get worse if --traceback is used). To work around this, we move this extensions related debug message behind a new flag 'devel.debug.extensions' and restore the previous output. I'm not fully happy about using the 'devel' section for a flag that can be used by legitimate users to debug extensions issues. However, it fits well next to other `devel.devel.*` options and is mostly used by extensions author anyway. We might move it to another, more appropriate section in the future (using alias).

windows: expand '~/' and '~\' to %USERPROFILE% when translating to cmd.exe It's convenient to be able to reference hooks in a portable location on any platform.

windows: replace single quote with double quote when translating to cmd.exe Since cmd.exe doesn't understand single quotes, single quotes to prevent $var expansion is basically unusable without this. Single quote isn't allowed in a path name, so it seems unlikely to come up otherwise.

hook: only print the note about native cmd translation if it actually changes This makes it so that it will never occur on a non Windows platform.

hook: disable the shell to native command translation by default There are other things I want to add like ~ expansion and translating single to double quotes for cmd.exe. So off by default is safer. I'm having second thoughts about the name, but I don't have any better ideas.

setup: allow to run setup.py with python 3 without a mercurial checkout Some people may want to test mercurial in a python 3 environment through e.g. pip, in which case setup.py doesn't run in a mercurial checkout, so the hack in setup.py to allow python 3 cannot be overcome. This change allows a manual override with the HGPYTHON3 environment variable. Additionally, when for some reason the version is unknown (for crazy people like me, who have a git checkout of the mercurial repo), the version variable ends up being an unicode string, which fails the `isinstance(version, bytes)` assertion. So fix that at the same time. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3958

upgrade: enable adding or removing sparse-revlog requirement

upgrade: add information about sparse-revlog Show information about sparse-revlog in debugformat, just like other requirements.

sparse-revlog: implement algorithm to write sparse delta chains (issue5480) The classic behavior of revlog._isgooddeltainfo is to consider the span size of the whole delta chain, and limit it to 4 * textlen. Once sparse-revlog writing is allowed (and enforced with a requirement), revlog._isgooddeltainfo considers the span of the largest chunk as the distance used in the verification, instead of using the span of the whole delta chain. In order to compute the span of the largest chunk, we need to slice into chunks a chain with the new revision at the top of the revlog, and take the maximal span of these chunks. The sparse read density is a parameter to the slicing, as it will stop when the global read density reaches this threshold. For instance, a density of 50% means that 2 of 4 read bytes are actually used for the reconstruction of the revision (the others are part of other chains). This allows a new revision to be potentially stored with a diff against another revision anywhere in the history, instead of forcing it in the last 4 * textlen. The result is a much better compression on repositories that have many concurrent branches. Here are a comparison between using deltas from current upstream (aggressive-merge-deltas on by default) and deltas from a sparse-revlog Comparison of `.hg/store/` size: mercurial (6.74% merges): before: 46,831,873 bytes after: 46,795,992 bytes (no relevant change) pypy (8.30% merges): before: 333,524,651 bytes after: 308,417,511 bytes -8% netbeans (34.21% merges): before: 1,141,847,554 bytes after: 1,131,093,161 bytes -1% mozilla-central (4.84% merges): before: 2,344,248,850 bytes after: 2,328,459,258 bytes -1% large-private-repo-A (merge 19.73%) before: 41,510,550,163 bytes after: 8,121,763,428 bytes -80% large-private-repo-B (23.77%) before: 58,702,221,709 bytes after: 8,351,588,828 bytes -76% Comparison of `00manifest.d` size: mercurial (6.74% merges): before: 6,143,044 bytes after: 6,107,163 bytes pypy (8.30% merges): before: 52,941,780 bytes after: 27,834,082 bytes -48% netbeans (34.21% merges): before: 130,088,982 bytes after: 119,337,636 bytes -10% mozilla-central (4.84% merges): before: 215,096,339 bytes after: 199,496,863 bytes -8% large-private-repo-A (merge 19.73%) before: 33,725,285,081 bytes after: 390,302,545 bytes -99% large-private-repo-B (23.77%) before: 49,457,701,645 bytes after: 1,366,752,187 bytes -97% The better delta chains provide a performance boost in relevant repositories: pypy, bundling 1000 revisions: before: 1.670s after: 1.149s -31% Unbundling got a bit slower. probably because the sparse algorithm is still pure python. pypy, unbundling 1000 revisions: before: 4.062s after: 4.507s +10% Performance of bundle/unbundle in repository with few concurrent branches (eg: mercurial) are unaffected. No significant differences have been noticed then timing `hg push` and `hg pull` locally. More state timings are being gathered. Same as for aggressive-merge-delta, better delta comes with longer delta chains. Longer chains have a performance impact. For example. The length of the chain needed to get the manifest of pypy's tip moves from 82 item to 1929 items. This moves the restore time from 3.88ms to 11.3ms. Delta chain length is an independent issue that affects repository without this changes. It will be dealt with independently. No significant differences have been observed on repositories where `sparse-revlog` have not much effect (mercurial, unity, netbeans). On pypy, small differences have been observed on some operation affected by delta chain building and retrieval. pypy, perfmanifest before: 0.006162s after: 0.017899s +190% pypy, commit: before: 0.382 after: 0.376 -1% pypy, status: before: 0.157 after: 0.168 +7% More comprehensive and stable timing comparisons are in progress.

sparse-revlog: new requirement enabled with format.sparse-revlog The meaning of the new 'sparse-revlog' requirement is that the revlogs are allowed to contain wider delta chains with larger holes between the interesting chunks. These sparse delta chains should be read in several chunks to avoid a potential explosion of memory usage. Former version won't know how to read a delta chain in several chunks. They would keep reading them in a single read, and therefore would be subject to the potential memory explosion. Hence this new requirement: only versions having support of sparse-revlog reading should be allowed to read such a revlog. Implementation of this new algorithm and tools to enable or disable the requirement will follow in the next changesets.

ssh: avoid reading beyond the end of stream when using compression Compressed streams can be used as part of getbundle. The normal read() operation of bufferedinputpipe will try to fulfill the request exactly and can deadlock if the server sends less as it is done. At the same time, the bundle2 logic will stop reading when it believes it has gotten all parts of the bundle, which can leave behind end of stream markers as used by bzip2 and zstd. To solve this, introduce a new optional unbufferedread interface and provided it in bufferedinputpipe and doublepipe. If there is buffered data left, it will be returned, otherwise it will issue a single read request and return whatever it obtains. Reorganize the decompression handlers to try harder to read until the end of stream, especially if the requested read can already be fulfilled. Check for end of stream is messy with Python 2, none of the standard compression modules properly exposes it. At least with zstd and bzip2, decompressing will remember EOS and fail for empty input after the EOS has been seen. For zlib, the only way to detect it with Python 2 is to duplicate the decompressobj and force some additional data into it. The common handler can be further optimized, but works as PoC.

obsolete: explode if metadata contains invalid UTF-8 sequence (API) The current metadata API can be a source of bugs since it forces callers to process encoding conversion by themselves.
