branchcache: add a "pure topological head" fast path In a narrow but actually quick common case, all topological heads are all on the same branch and all open. In this case, computing the branch map is very simple. We can quickly detect situation where this situation will not change. So we update the V3 format to be able to express this situation and upgrade the update code to detect we remains in that mode. The branch cache is populated with the actual value when the branch map is accessed, but the update_disk method can do the update without needing to populate it.

== New Features ==

 * `hg purge`/`hg clean` can now delete ignored files instead of
   untracked files, with the new -i flag.

 * `hg pull` now has a `--confirm` flag to prompt before applying changes.
   Config option `pull.confirm` is also added for that.

 * `hg log` now defaults to using an '%' symbol for commits involved
    in unresolved merge conflicts. That includes unresolved conflicts
    caused by e.g. `hg update --merge` and `hg graft`. '@' still takes
    precedence, so what used to be marked '@' still is.

 * New `conflictlocal()` and `conflictother()` revsets return the
   commits that are being merged, when there are conflicts. Also works
   for conflicts caused by e.g. `hg graft`.

 * `hg copy --forget` can be used to unmark a file as copied.

 * The `format.revlog-compression` configuration entry now accept a list. The
   first available option will be used. for example setting::

     [format]
     revlog-compression=zstd, zlib

   Will use `zstd` compression for new repositories is available, and will
   simply fall back to `zlib` if not.

 * `hg debugmergestate` output is now templated, which may be useful
   e.g. for IDEs that want to help the user resolve merge conflicts.


== New Experimental Features ==

 * `hg copy` now supports a `--at-rev` argument to mark files as
   copied in the specified commit. It only works with `--after` for
   now (i.e., it's only useful for marking files copied using non-hg
   `cp` as copied).

 * Use `hg copy --forget --at-rev REV` to unmark already committed
   copies.

== Bug Fixes  ==

 * Fix server exception when concurrent pushes delete the same bookmark

 * Prevent pushes of divergent bookmarks (foo@remote)

 * The push error "remote repository changed while pushing - please
   try again" now only happens when a concurrent push changed related
   heads (instead of when a concurrent pushed any revision).


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * When `hg rebase` pauses for merge conflict resolution, the working
   copy will no longer have the rebased node as a second parent. You
   can use the new `conflictparents()` revset for finding the other
   parent during a conflict.

 * `hg rebase` now accepts repeated `--source` and `--base`
   arguments. For example, `hg rebase --source 'A + B'` is equivalent
   to `hg rebase --source A --source B`. This is a
   backwards-incompatible change because it will break overriding an
   alias `myrebase = rebase --source A` by `hg myrebase --source B`
   (it will now rebase `(A + B)::` instead of `B::`).

 * `hg recover` does not verify the validity of the whole repository
   anymore. You can pass `--verify` or call `hg verify` if necessary.

 * `hg debugmergestate` output format changed. Let us know if that is
   causing you problems and we'll roll it back.

 * Resolved merge conflicts are now cleared by `hg commit` even if the
   working copy has no changes.


== Internal API Changes ==

 * The deprecated `ui.progress()` has now been deleted. Please use
   `ui.makeprogress()` instead.

 * `hg.merge()` now takes a `ctx` instead of the previous `repo` and
   `node` arguments.

 * `hg.merge()` has lost its `abort` argument. Please call
   `hg.abortmerge()` directly instead.

 * `hg.merge()` has lost its `mergeforce` argument. It should have
   only ever been called with the same value as the `force` argument.

 * The `*others` argument of `cmdutil.check_incompatible_arguments()`
   changed from being varargs argument to being a single collection.
