status: let `--no-copies` override `ui.statuscopies`

run-tests: display the time it took to install Mercurial It will help make people aware of this critical step and to assess the time it takes in various options (like a CI run for example).

run-tests: deal with distutil deprecation PEP 632 recommend the use of `packaging.version` to replace the deprecated `distutil.version`. So lets do it.

fsmonitor: migrate Python ABCs from collections to collections.abc The Collections Abstract Base Classes in the collections module are deprecated since Python 3.3 in favor of collections.abc, and removed in Python 3.10.

templates: add filter to reverse list The filter supports only lists because for lists, it’s straightforward to implement. Reversing text doesn’t seem very useful and is hard to implement. Reversing the bytes would break multi-bytes encodings. Reversing the code points would break characters consisting of multiple code points. Reversing graphemes is non-trivial without using a library not included in the standard library.

requires: re-use vfs.tryread for simplicity Avoids calling `set` twice or having to re-raise an exception and implements the routine with a single return expression.

tests: fix the flaky test test-logtoprocess.t The main change is that we're waiting for the [touched] file to appear for 5 seconds instead of 0.1 seconds. Also, instead of implementing wait-on-file from scratch, we use the existing one from testlib/ that works well.

bisect: avoid copying ancestor list for non-merge commits During a bisection, hg needs to compute a list of all ancestors for every candidate commit. This is accomplished via a bottom-up traversal of the set of candidates, during which each revision's ancestor list is populated using the ancestor list of its parent(s). Previously, this involved copying the entire list, which could be very long in if the bisection range was large. To help improve this, we can observe that each candidate commit is visited exactly once, at which point its ancestor list is copied into its children's lists and then dropped. In the case of non-merge commits, a commit's ancestor list consists exactly of its parent's list plus itself. This means that we can trivially reuse the parent's existing list for one of its non-merge children, which avoids copying entirely if that commit is the parent's only child. This makes bisections over linear ranges of commits much faster. During some informal testing in the large publicly-available `mozilla-central` repository, this noticeably sped up bisections over large ranges of history: Setup: $ cd mozilla-central $ hg bisect --reset $ hg bisect --good 0 $ hg log -r tip -T '{rev}\n' 628417 Test: $ time hg bisect --bad tip --noupdate Before: real 3m35.927s user 3m35.553s sys 0m0.319s After: real 1m41.142s user 1m40.810s sys 0m0.285s
