treemanifest: add an optimized __nonzero__() We use bool(manifest) in at least some places: localrepo.py:1730 hgweb/webcommands.py:524 Since the treemanifest class doesn't define __nonzero__() (before this patch), bool(manifest) will instead call __len__(), which can be slow for treemanifests. This patch may make a noticeable difference in the localrepo case above, but that only happens when committing a merge and I haven't timed it. Note that Durham already added a __nonzero__ implementation to manifestdict in b19291e5d506 (manifest: add __nonzero__ method, 2016-11-03).

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
