metadata: filter the `removed` set to only contains relevant data The `files` entry can be bogus and contains too many entries. This can badly combines with the computation of `removed` inflating the set size. The can lead to the changesets centric rename computation to process much more data than needed, slowing it down (and increasing space taken by data storage). In practice newer commits already that reduced set, this applies this "fix" to older changeset. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8589

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
