phases: move RemotePhasesSummary to revision number This continue our quest to align more logic on revision number instead of node-ids. The motivation is similar to the change to `new_heads` and `analyze_remote_phases` a few changeset earlier. Again, we take this as an opportunity to rename the class, and the attribute to the new naming scheme. This will highlight the need for code update for any code using it an expecting node-ids. Many of the rev-num → node-id conversion we had to introduce in the previous changesets can now be removed. More will be removed in the future as we continue to align code toward rev-num usage. time saved in the 100 milliseconds order of magnitude for the mozilla-try benchmark I have been using.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
