store: optimize _pathencode by checking the length of the unencoded path If the input path is already longer than _maxstorepathlen, then we can skip doing the basic encoding (encodedir, _encodefname and _auxencode) and directly proceed to the hashed encoding. Those encodings, if at all, will make the path only longer.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
