phases: large rework of advance boundary In a similar spirit as the rework of retractboundary, the new algorithm is doing an amount of work in the order of magnitude of the amount of changeset that changes phases. (except to find new roots in impacted higher phases if any may exists). This result in a very significant speedup for repository with many old draft like mozilla try. runtime of perf:unbundle for a bundle constaining a single changeset (C code): before 6.7 phase work: 14.497 seconds before this change: 6.311 seconds (-55%) with this change: 2.240 seconds (-85%) Combined with the other patches that fixes the phases computation in the Rust index, the rust code with a persistent nodemap get back to quite interresting performances with 2.026 seconds for the same operation, about 10% faster than the C code.

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.
