outgoing: rework the handling of the `missingroots` case to be faster The previous implementation was slow, to the point it was taking a significant amount of `hg bundle --type none-streamv2` call. We rework the code to compute the same value much faster, making the operation disappear from the `hg bundle --type none-streamv2` profile. Someone would remark that producing a streamclone does not requires an `outgoing` object. However that is a matter for another day. There is other user of `missingroots` (non stream `hg bundle` call for example), and they will also benefit from this rework. We implement an old TODO in the process, directly computing the missing and common attribute as we have most element at hand already. ### 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: 7.750458 after: 6.665565 (-14.00%, -1.08) ## data-env-vars.name = mercurial-public-2024-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 0.700229 after: 0.496050 (-29.16%, -0.20) ## data-env-vars.name = mozilla-try-2023-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 346.508952 after: 316.749699 (-8.59%, -29.76) ## data-env-vars.name = pypy-2024-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 3.401700 after: 2.915810 (-14.28%, -0.49) ## data-env-vars.name = tryton-public-2024-03-22-zstd-sparse-revlog before: 1.870798 after: 1.461583 (-21.87%, -0.41) note: this whole `missingroots` of outgoing has a limited number of callers and could likely be replace by something simpler (like taking an explicit "missing_revs" set for example). However this is a wider change and we focus on a small impact, quick rework that does not change the API for now.

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.
