phases: use revision number in `_pushdiscoveryphase` We now reach our target checkpoint in terms of rev-num conversion. The `_pushdiscoveryphase` function is now performing graph computation based on revision number only. Avoiding repeated conversion from node-id to rev-num. See previous changeset updated `new_heads` for rationnal. Again, time saved in the 100 milliseconds order of magnitude for the mozilla-try benchmark I have been using. However, wow that the logic is done using revision number, we can look into having better logic in the next changesets, which will provide a much bigger speedup.

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.
