deltas: skip if projected delta size does not match text size constraint Before computing any delta, we get a basic estimation of the delta size we can expect and the resulted compressed value. We then checks this projected size against the ½ⁿ size constraints. This allows to exclude potential base candidates before doing any expensive computation. This only apply to the intermediate-snapshot case since this constraint only apply to them. In practice we only perform this new checks for the manifestlog. Manifest log combine two property: it is likely to have delta chain issue and its diffing/compression is fairly predictable. The initial author of this changeset is Valentin Gatien-Baron providing the initial idea and initial testing, Pierre-Yves David later consolidated the code in the right location and run more extensive testing.

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
