rust-index: improve phase computation speed While less memory efficient, using an array is *much* faster than using a HashMap, especially with the default hasher. It even makes the code simpler, so I'm not really sure what I was thinking in the first place, maybe it's more obvious now. This fix a significant performance regression when using the rust version of the code. (however, the C code still outperform rust on this operation) hg perf::phases on mozilla-try-2023-03-22 - 6.6.3: 0.451239 seconds - before: 0.982495 seconds - after: 0.265347 seconds - C code: 0.183241 second

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.
