revset: stop serializing node when using "%ln" Turning hundred of thousand of node from node to hex and back can be slow… what about we stop doing it? In many case were we are using node id we should be using revision id. However this is not a good reason to have a stupidly slow implementation of "%ln". This caught my attention again because the phase discovery during push make an extensive use of "%ln" or huge set. In absolute, that phase discovery probably should use "%ld" and need to improves its algorithmic complexity, but improving "%ln" seems simple and long overdue. This greatly speeds up `hg push` on repository with many drafts. Here are some relevant poulpe benchmarks: ### data-env-vars.name = mozilla-try-2023-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog # benchmark.name = hg.command.push # bin-env-vars.hg.flavor = default # bin-env-vars.hg.py-re2-module = default # benchmark.variants.explicit-rev = all-out-heads # benchmark.variants.issue6528 = disabled # benchmark.variants.protocol = ssh # benchmark.variants.reuse-external-delta-parent = default ## benchmark.variants.revs = any-1-extra-rev before: 44.235070 after: 20.416329 (-53.85%, -23.82) ## benchmark.variants.revs = any-100-extra-rev before: 49.234697 after: 26.519829 (-46.14%, -22.71) ### benchmark.name = hg.command.bundle # bin-env-vars.hg.flavor = default # bin-env-vars.hg.py-re2-module = default # benchmark.variants.revs = all # benchmark.variants.type = none-streamv2 ## data-env-vars.name = heptapod-public-2024-03-25-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 10.138396 after: 7.750458 (-23.55%, -2.39) ## data-env-vars.name = mercurial-public-2024-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 1.263859 after: 0.700229 (-44.60%, -0.56) ## data-env-vars.name = mozilla-try-2023-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 399.484481 after: 346.5089 (-13.26%, -52.98) ## data-env-vars.name = pypy-2024-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 4.540080 after: 3.401700 (-25.07%, -1.14) ## data-env-vars.name = tryton-public-2024-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 2.975765 after: 1.870798 (-37.13%, -1.10)

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.
